I'm very confused ...
The last time I used my desktop, it was behaving fine and closed itself down properly. But last night, when I turned it on, it refused to boot. It only gets as far as the second screen, which says:
Press F2 to run Setup
Press F11 for Boot Menu
Single-Chanel Memory Mode
1024MB OK
So, I pressed F11 and waited for a while, eventually getting this message:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
So I rebooted and pressed F2 this time. Going into the boot menu I checked it was booting from the hard disk and not the floppy ... which it is.
Now I've run out of ideas.
The PC was built for me by a PPRuNer and it's a bit early to call him. I can't find a CD in the pile of things he gave me which looks like it's going to help me.
Any thoughts?!
Thanks. :)
