I have a machine which, about half the time, won't complete PowerOnSelfTest (POST, for anyone even less clued-up on hardware than I am!). This machine starts to show BIOS messages, but all-too-often quickly ends up with a blank screen with a flashing cursor top-left. What's that all about?
On some occasions it boots fine...
Might be one of several things - flaky HDD, CPU, memory, MB....in fact anything! Just by chance, try resetting the BIOS by taking out the battery on the MB, and then see what happens. I've had a PC with a similar issue be fixed before now when I've done this.
That's worth a try - thanks!
