This is a little strange.
I have wiped and reinstalled all, as per previous posts and am really happy with the whole setup.
But,
Normally I leave the machine on 24/7 and it sort of sleeps until I move the mouse.
A few weeks ago I turned off over night and It took about 10 mins of reset or unplug and starts before the monitor went "wanggggg" and all started.
2 days ago I turned off over night and after a lot of resets etc I had no joy and the Mobo LEd's were stopping at FF boot attempt
I changed the monitor without success and then swapped the graphics card for an old matrox 400 and it booted, I took it out replaced the GeForce 4 Ti 4200 and all is well again. I have not switched off since.
Is it a Video card problem. How do I explain the fault to a disbelieving wholesaler?
Has anyone had this problem.
Also I tried to run a bits and pieces machine but it would not work with XP and the Matrox. Obviously the matrox does work as it booted my good machine. Wierd
