| 221257 | 2004-03-09 07:52:00 | Well, it seems like my pc is throwing a wobbly for no reason. Here's they symptons........ During booting sometimes it will hang at "checking NVRAM", other times it will hang at the "starting windows" screen. But most of the time (about 3 out of 5) it boots without a problem. Also there are a few other probles that have recently arisen, sometimes (after a few hours of use) cut/cpoy/paste will just not work, I wont be able to drang icons, and my DVD drive is not detected when windows loads. So, does anyone have any ideas? My pc was working fine up until aobut 3 weeks ago, I haven't made any changes to it, so I'm lost for ideas. oh, I'm running win 2k pro if thats of any use. |

(Top right of screen, used to be slow loading). Do all these then come back. :D | mark c (247) | ||
