Has anyone come across a high level female voice immediataly prior to
boot-up which repeatedly recycles with words which apppear to sound like
"Clifton Sales CP(T)U taft"
This is immediately after powering up & before there is any visual screen
activity whatsoever - then it stops.

That might be a BIOS warning message. I believe some motherboards speak
their error messages. Check your motherboad manual. Make sure your CPU fan
is going round and the heatsink isn't full of dust etc

Ha, thanks!
