Hardware Monitor ??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I had to resort to re-installing windows xp and now when I start the
computer up it has the following:

Hardware Monitor
Then it has the following lines (paraphrased)
CPU temp ......
System Fan ......
Verifying DMI Pool data
Boot from CD ...

It stops for a second or two and then carries on as usual. Desktop is
normal. It worries me as I have never seen that before. Can anybody tell
me why it would be there now and can I change the configuration anywhere or
is it a warning???

I have Windows XP on a Certified Data from London Drugs. It would be great
if someone had an answer for me.

'I have Windows XP on a Certified Data from London Drugs' and what does that
mean in plain English?

As for your BIOS messages, well if you have a proper user guide, it can be
referenced and used to determine how to hide such messages.

However maybe London Drugs can supply a prescription for the PC to bring it
out of its state of delerium or Certify the PC as safe.

Hee hee, I like those answers. I forgot there are people emailing from all
over the world, not just Canada Certified Data is actually manufactured by
Lodon Drugs. Next time I phone them I am going to ask for a prescription
for my sick computer. Thanks for the answers, I will check out the bios.
