I suppose that anything is possible, but there was nothing "out of the ordinary" running at the time I had the problem. The system is on a surge protector, but not a UPS. Not sure if this would explain the rapidly changing symptoms I experienced at different times over the weekend. > I've had clients bring their systems over to my house > complaining that the > thing wouldn't boot then once they got it here it booted just > fine. The reason "it happens sometimes," are the words a technician/repairperson just hate to hear. Don't get me wrong. I am very glad the system is up and running. I just wish I had a definitive answer to what caused the problem in the first place so I can avoid the situation in the future. > Glad to hear it running fine now.
