Seven out of ten times it's a hardware problem. Remove the sound/network cards and try again. If the computers boots (in a finite amount of time), then add back one card at a time and try again. With this trial-and-error method, you may find out which card has the problem. Good luck. -- [ Quote #3371 from alphabet collection. ] A person who *won't* be blackmailed, *can't* be blackmailed. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
