Apologies for not having the full spec for this PC, standard midi tower with a PS of 350w but I wonder if anyone has a genral solution for this please. PC Tower is about 30 months old, I built it, probalby has AMD XP 2200 or the like on a motherboard from around that time with onboard video and 1GB of memory. It is at clients so I do not have rest of specs.
The problem being that on say 2 or 3 mornings a week when it is powered on it halts/freezes on about the first line or two of the motherboard bios screen. When they switch it on and off a couple of times it then boots ok.
I have checked for loose wiring but cannot find any. Prior to replacing the hard drive I ran PC Check 6.2 thoroughly and it only noted a faulty hard drive
The thing is, the problem did not occur until I brought it back and replaced the faulty hard drive with a new one and did a fresh XP install - its really weird and my clients moan about it but then it goes ok for a couple of days so they don't part with it.
I would love to be able to visit them with a solution for it.
Thanks
