I worked on an old XT or 286 system at the high school back in about '93, machine would boot up to the end of the POST, and then hang. Took a few minutes to notice that the switch was set to 220. After that, first thing I'd look for on a school system that was being fixed, was the voltage selector. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
