Re: Trouble booting and hibernating



Any hang during the POST (Power On Self Test, where you see the BIOS info
and drive detection) will most likely be hardware related, it will not be at
all related to the OS or any software you have installed as this is before
Windows takes control of the system.

Hi Nigel

I hadn't considered a hardware fault. I will get in touch with Evesham
right
away. Thanks.

Hi

I have just bought a new pc with Windows XP Media Centre Edition
pre-installed.

When I try to hibernate, it gets stuck on the 'hibernating' page. And
when I
boot up it hangs for four or five minutes on the page where it's auto
detecting Mass Storage devices. It's a Solar 7500 pc bought from Evesham
and
the page it hangs on is the American Megatrends page.

Anyone know why or how I can fix it?

As it is brand new I suggest that you get Evesham to fix it. It sounds
like something is
misconfigured in your BIOS or possibly a hardware fault. Either way your
supplier should fix it.
