| 549113 | 2007-05-11 09:36:00 | Is the error similar to this (support.microsoft.com) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 549114 | 2007-05-11 19:34:00 | A little more info please? - did it ever run? - what happened to cause this issue? Did the system crash or just fail to start one day? Any noise (clicking perhaps? ) coming from hard drive? Leaning towards hard drive failure at the moment. |

| 549115 | 2007-05-12 07:13:00 | removed graphics card and got further. now computer locks up saying it has recovered from a serious problem and to send a report, if system doesn't lock up immediately the report then links me to s3 graphics web site. | poota (12251) | ||
