Every so often (A couple time a month, Note: the system is started at least once a day) when you push the CPU start button there is no single beep that usually occurs & the system fails to boot. All components are on & light up. The monitor is blank. If one shuts the CPU off & waits 30 seconds, the system will boot properly on the second or third try. After the boot everything functions properly & a systems check at Control Panel indicates no problems. The CPU is a P-III (PU-P3-500), Memory 512 OMB Ram, ATI Grafic Card w/8mb, 400W Power Supply. Nothing has been added to the system, except a new MB battery. The problem existed with WinME & XP. Any sugestions will be appreciated. Thanks, RJ.
