Have you ever had Knoppix, or a similar bootable-CD version of Linux running on this machine? If you haven't, it might be a good thing to try. I have an up-to-date version, and I can drop it round if you like (I am in St. Albans and I thought you said you were in Mairehau, which is not far). If Knoppix runs properly it will reassure you that there's probably nothing wrong with your hardware, and then you can take note of all the settings it is using. HTH Andy
