This evening we went to use one of our PCs that had been in standby mode
and it wouldn't become active again. We noticed that the hard drive light
was on and didn't flicker with activity (as usual). We powered down the PC
and left it off for a few minutes, then tried booting again. When we did
that, both the power light and the hard drive light came on and stayed on.
We've repeated this several times with the same results.
Can anyone suggest what is causing this and what the problem might be? Of
course, a remedy for the problem would be most helpful, too.
TIA
