I had such an excellent result from an earlier plea for help, could you help me with this one please?
For about 40% of the time, my PC will start o.k.
For the rest of the time, it will start, immediatley stop for a few seconds and then restart, it will run until it stops again at "F1 Press to continue -- Del to enter Setup"
.
The message above it says "Checksum error - Defaults loaded"
Sometimes the Windows first page opens with the bar moving to indicate it is loading, when that has finished as it should, the screen will go blank and nothing further appears, just a black screen.
On rare occassions, when I switch on, the PC will run but nothing appears on the screen at all, (my monitor is an iiyama Vision Master Pro 452 and is very stable).
Whenever I have to switch off at the main switch and restart, everything runs fine.
Although old (like me) the inside of the drive is very clean (like me), I installed a new battery and PSU not long ago.
I have cleaned the Registry with Ccleaner, a-squared Free and Eusing Free, my anti viruses are up to date, and I cannot think of anything else.
tia. (thanks in anticipation)
