Can't say if I feel comfortable or not in testing it myself, as I don't know where to begin with that one! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dj Paddy" <mygroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 12:21 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: boot up Andy, it's either overheating, ram probles, motherboard failure, rarely ever CPU failure, corrupt windows install or a vrus. It could be a chip on the motherboard. If you dont' feel comfortable testing it yourself take it to a qualified technician.

Either something in your computer's failing, or your whole motherboard might be packing up. Normally, the "press delete to enter setup" message only appears briefly then the system continues to boot. Sorry Andy, time to take it to the computer hospital, <smiles>. Hope that helps.
