The HDD light should only come on when access to the HDD occurs, and go out again.
If its on solidly, its a also a sign of an abnormal lock-up.

By this I meant light on hdd itself, I have the case off, no hdd access light doesn't come on.

Can you report the result back here?

150183 2005-07-18 16:05:00 :mad: i got the same problem, and i know for sure it`s no the os`s fault, b/c i even tryed knnopix (os running from cd) and even another hdd. still, got the same problem: my videocard shuts down itself or something shuts it down, i dont know. it goes to shutdown even before windows comes 2 scandisk or knnopix try`s 2 insert a video mode. other times it works just fine. other times it goes off after a couple of minutes/hours or before windows loading. even if i try 2boot on windows cd it goes off at a point. i can stay in ms-dos for centurys and nothing happends. i ain`t got a clue. only when its ini display. :mad: sstefan_1 (3958)
