(unable to open cd rom draw) 2: Monitor remains blank 3: Power light on monitor flashes as it does in standby mode (screen Blank) 4: There are no beeps from the speaker System is Pentium 166	Guest (0)

Video card could be bung, check connections, and check card fully inserted, replace with another one if connections ok. Remove and reinsert ram, incase there is a bad connection. Leave cd disconnected, incase it is causing the problem. Post back if none of this helps.	Guest (0)

The only way I solve the problem is to power completly off and wait a minute or so then power back on again. It doesn't always happen first pop. but I get it going eventually	Guest (0)
