513636 2007-01-07 18:00:00 Bit more info wanted here:
What OS are you running and has it just started doing this or has it never gone.
Does it bring up the bios ? Thats the wrighting on a black screen.
Have you tried pushing the reset button?

513639 2007-01-07 18:37:00 I have just had a similar problem for over 2 weeks but mine would start normally every now and again.The advice I got was a MOBO on its way out so I have another on the way to replace it.But my MOBO would be 7 years old.The other advice I got was power supply,check all yr power connections and if possible check that power is actually getting to the MoBo.Hope you get it sorted. kjaada (253)

513642 2007-01-07 21:53:00 Can you boot in safe mode. Hold down the F8 key while booting. And how old is your computer.

513643 2007-01-07 22:00:00 Can you lay yr hands on a Linux bootable disk like Knoppix or Ubuntu.I have to say tho it does not look good.I say this mainly because of the lack of responce from people who may have had this problem and could give a remedy. kjaada (253)
