We need LOTS more info, Peter. Computer make/model (or processor type<br>
and motherboard make/model), video card, type of hard drive (SATA, SCSI,<br>
IDE), memory size, that sort of thing. Also make sure the BIOS on the<br>
machine is the current release (check with the computer or motherboard<br>
maker's website).</blockquote>

The most common problems have to do with interrupt routing, DMA<br>
channels, APMI issues and that sort of thing. There's lots of work-<br>
arounds and we need to know what may be appropriate for you. If you<br>
could tell us what's displayed when you hit "ALT-F3" and "ALT-F4" when
<br>
it's stalled, that may help as well.</blockquote>
