494864 2006-10-28 00:37:00 This occurs at least once or twice a week and happens usually after the PC has been off for a long time. (e.g. happens in the morning after sleep.. or afternoon after school)

The monitor is blank and its power colour light is orange (meaning in standbye mode or no signal). The harddrive appears fully active indicated by the green light on the case. however... nothing actually happens.. windows doesn't boot and the harddrive continues to go busy. i have to press restart (sometimes serveral times) before the computer actually beeps and starts up. any ideas whats rong? i dont wanna ruin my harddrives!
