Half Boot then freeze
Got a good one here,
My sons PC , has just thrown up the following .
switch on , runs through all the usual bits and bobs info, then freeze.
Reboot, get to safe mode selection and as the countdown continues , stops dead at about 18 secs.
try win 98 restore disc, select with cd rom support and goes through normal screen bits and to A:/ Dos prompt then freeze.
go for full DOS re install, boot up and run through, first disc gets to about 6 % and freeze.
So no matter what it freezes.
I have changed the Hard drive, changed the graphics card, removed the modem , changed the memory, disconected the cd rom.
And it still wont boot up.
try entering the BIOS , and at about the same elapsed time the thing just freezes again.
Thinking mother board is knackered, one last thing is a guy at work said could be Power supply as very similar in description to his problem . Is that feasable ??
Only problem I ever had with PS was when my machine packed in completely.
Any advice , radical fixes etc all greatfully received
