| 1108231 | 2010-06-09 00:46:00 | My computer is just over a year old and has behaved very well up to last week. It has plenty of ram and oodles of space but has developed an unwillingness to start on these cold mornings. At startup it splutters and flashes on and off the screen, but will not hold the picture. By switching on and off a few times and disconnecting the power i can eventually get it to work, which it will do without a problem. If I turn it off during the day and start it at a later time it will open without a problem.Trying to start up the next morning is giving me more gray hairs. The temperature early morning in here would be about 8 and wonder if that could be causing the problem. Any advice welcome...Ron.. |
