296782 2004-11-27 05:08:00 its shuts down after a second of turning on PSU. i hav to turn it off at the back, because ON/OFF button will only turn it on, not off.
It only allows it to be turned off when the OS has started loading.
I figured that was normal as it does it with the computer i am using right now.
But that is off topic slightly, im more interesting in my computer starting up fully, than worrying about the off button not working in the post screen :)

Do you have any more ideas on how to get it to work, or do you think im goin 2 hav 2 take it to a computer place?

296784 2004-11-27 06:48:00 i had 2 stix of 128 ram, i removed 1. definetly in properly. still makes no difference.

the problem is the BIOS, i havent added or removed anything, after i updated my BIOS, and it screwed up after i had restarted it after the update.

I had installed a sound driver and some randum windows update background intellgent blah blah, but these wouldnt have made it "freeze" on the post screen.

So the problem is that i updated the BIOS, which it seems i shouldnt have, and now i need the BIOS to unupdate or do something to get it back to the original working BIOS, without using a bootable floppy, as ive already tried that and it doesnt load enough to register.

I don't think im goin 2 be able to do that at my house, so ill think ill take it to a computer shop.

Thanks for all your help.
