W2000 startup abort
NEC Powermate running W2000 start-up problem. Get as far as the W2000 screen but as the progress bar reaches the end, I hear the hard drive motor slowing and up comes "entering sleep mode" on the LCD display. Puter then attempts a restart and the whole cycle repeats.
I don't want to go down the system restore route as my last data backup was 3 wks ago (silly boy!)
Any ideas out there? Looks just like someone pulls the power cord as the desktop is about to come up. I waggled the ribbon cables on the HD and vacuumed out the dust and the puter worked fine last night.
