I have a ~1966 vintage Blaupunkt (when they were GOOD radios and
Solid State while Becker still put a large box of tubes under the
dash.) It is standard DIN configuration. It is AM only. I really
liked the old Blaupunkt 3-4 band radios. Very high quality,
AM/FM/SW. They were 1970 or so.
I agree with everything Dan said except that I would load the XP and
run that. If you don't have an XPSP4 disk, it takes a long time to
download and install all the updates. But then you don't have the
Wista crapola. I'd not spend any money on winders 7 until/unless you
know the machine
My only reason for not running XP would be the presence of the dual core
processor. The XP kernel does not have the ability to utilize dual processors,
so it might throttle the machine somewhat.
Otherwise, run XP on it. At least that is relatively stable. We still do it
on over 35,000

That brings up another possibility. Memory (RAM) problems can also manifest
themselves when the system boots.
Fire it up.
Push F10 repeatedly until the BIOS screen comes up.
Wander around in the BIOS and find the hard drive and memory tests, and run
both.
