Re: FN-FORUM pc boot problem

date posted 6th January 2003 20:28

i had exactly this a few weeks back and had to get someone in - going off
the way he looked when i parted with my 40 notes it musn't have been
something too difficult.

it didnt need anything new whatsoever, so i assume it was something to do
with connections on m/b. its likely to be something simple, but farty.

sorry i cant be any further help.
