Try the following: power everything off, take case apart, remove and re-seat all adapter cards disk and other device (eg DVD) cables and memory Dimms, Apply power (careful as the case is open) - make sure all fans are running, if so power off and re-assemble case - if fans are not running, check their connections to the motherboard, the fans themselves and the PSU. Hopefully after re-assembly she'll boot and it was only a bad connection. Good luck, Ed. Glenn Montgomery wrote: > Hi all, > > hope you all had a great Christmas.

It lets me know which Emails it has stopped and lately they all have long names and no recognizable ISP's. As I don't know much about ISP's could someone tell me how these spammers can send an Email without using a recognized ISP? Also, as they obviously change their Email address all the time how on earth do they ever get any replies? It mystifies me. It would seem to me that spam could be stopped if one could nominate the only sites that one would accept Email from. Maybe this is possible and I am unaware of it.
