Hello All,

I have a couple of computers on my network here at work that are having trouble booting up. Every time I restart the computers they won't reboot or even go into BIOS.
To get them to reboot I have to unplug them wait a minute and plug them back in and start them back up and they come back up.

Would this be a power supply problem?

Thanks
James

Could be.

As with most compters, open them up and clean the lint out of them. Then remove and reseat all of the ram and cards. it may clear it up.

Is the cmos setting being retained? (battery)

Yeah the CMOS settings are still there.

I just blew one of them out but I didn't pull the memory and reseat it but I will that a shot and see waht happens.

Thanks
James
