| 775554 | 2009-05-21 00:51:00 | Hmm that error may mean the ram is stuffed. If there's 2 dimms remove one then the other. See which one lets you boot. If theres only 1, you'll have to find another somewhere and try it Or it could be that capacitor thats causing it |

| 775555 | 2009-05-21 00:57:00 | Thank you - will report back after lunch | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 775556 | 2009-05-21 00:58:00 | Would you say this is giving the error mesage when trying to detect the HDD. ? 106 can relate to "Executing a command in the start profile on local computer failed" Try this - unplug the HDD, try booting the PC, it should try to detect the HDD - then complain it cant find one. |
