After a power cut where I live cut out my XP computer, it now crashes on the first BIOS screen with the American Megatrends logo on bootup. It does not respond to anything, except the power off button. However, after having switched it off, if I switch the computer back immediately afterwards or within several minutes of doing so, it boots up through successfully and works perfectly. It only crashes on startup after being switched off for a while. Is it a power issue...?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

We had a similar problem, with Xp on our machine not booting up after power "surge". Find my original post and see if it can help at all,

I'm not sure whether it is the same problem.
