Look down the list for "Messenger" Right click on it and choose properties. From the little drop=down arrow "start up type", choose Disabled. And also hit ther "stop" button. This is a message service (Windows Messenger) that runs over networks so an administrator can put out a message to users. It is being utilised by advertisers on the Internet to pop-up little messagers at you. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Microsoft Messenger used by people. |

| 205760 | 2004-01-07 06:01:00 | Have a look here (support.microsoft.com) which advises to look for BIOS update. On a discussion board I also found, someone found success by going into their BIOS and turning off the ACPI power management. If unsure, let us know what motherboard you are running. You can find , usually, which BIOS you are running by hitting the pause/break key on the first startup screen.(enter to continue) It should be some letters/numbers at the bottom. Also, note the manufacturer of the BIOS. eg Phoenix , Award, AMI. |

Free download from the Internet. Create a boot floppy as advised in the Docs and let it run overnight. My guess is you have a bad RAM stick. Another possibility would be the cache on the CPU but test the RAM first. Do the ACPI thing as well. |
