Well, did you follow the directions?
It is important to take an organized approach to solving computer related
problems. Measure twice, cut once.

what directions would that be? I read a lot of sites that had that
problem...microsoft says update the BIOS..I have an older pc and no
updates for my BIOS...looked into BIOS updates months ago...I still
never found out if anyone found an actual solution that worked
really...this is causing my pc to freeze and I have to push the power
button to reboot...I am sure this is also causing my start lag as
well...
