Re: Yet another crash!

When I reboot what happens is this;
the green light and the red hard drive in use light come on.

the green monitor light comes on as though it is about to leap into life.

the orange monitor button comes on and it goes to sleep

thewre is a continuous humming from the hard drive as though it is
processing information.

There is a further development.

I asked an 'engineer' to look at the problem. He says replace the
motherboard, processor, ram and fan. Any comments pon that?

Further still. While he was looking at this problem I hooked up and old
computer so that the kids could at least go on the net, msn etc which is the
meaning of their lives.

I get up this morning and guess what!!

This one has crashed as well with exactly the same problem!

I.ve tried swapping the monitors - no luck gives a message of no input and
goes to sleep.

While the first computer had crashed the router it hosted still allowed me
access to the net on my other remote computer.

Unfortunately with the second computer crash I've lost connectivity - the
computers are 'talking' but no net connection.

ho hum.

any suggestions anyone?

could there be a virus problem?

are the two identical crashes just a coincidence?

shall I just bin these computers and get a new one?

any help appreciated

thanx

monitior is in permanent standbye and I am stuck!

any suggestions?

"... which had been running ok apart from a couple of crashes ..."
That's like saying, "I'm doing fine except for this gaping wound in my
stomach.."

And when you reboot - what happens?
Power off for a few minutes and power on?
