I've been having some problems with my Q40 starting up.  I thought it was bad
memory, but I think that is a separate issue.  Essentually here is what is
happening, when I start the Q40 up, the lights come on, the drive spins up, the
monitor gets a signal (green light) and then nothing.  The typical QL screen
does not come up nor does my BOOT program start.

The only resolution for the problem is to pull the memory out and reseat it.

Personally, I think it's a static electricity issue.  The PC case is sitting on
the carpet under the desk.  I've had the problem happen by just hitting the
reset button (system working, hit the reset button, then it won't boot).

The power plug is three prong (grounded).  Is there a better way to ground the
case so that it does not zap the Q40?
