From my experience it's either two things, memory or your power supply.
For memory, try running memtest (www.memtest.org), which can also be found on a Ubuntu live CD. For PSU, well, you've gotta have a spare PSU around. Bill On 02/07/07, Howard Lowndes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have a machine on the bench that has been stalling at various times during the day after having loaded the OS. Now it is consistently stalling at the end of the POST process when it has displayed the AMIBIOS data table and the locations of the SDRAM, and when it should next be starting to look on the drives for an OS. It has identified the IDE drives correctly so that tells me that the IDE bus is functioning correctly, but it appears to be unable to seek for an OS on the drives that it has just found, HDD or CDROM. Am I right in suspecting that this is a BIOS problem, and basically I am looking at a new mobo/CPU/RAM - it is about 7 years old anyway judging by the stated AMIBIOS date. -- Howard.
