HP Omnibook XE4400 hangs on BIOS check (sometimes)

M

Mark

A friend of mine is running XP (home edition I think) and has a
strange problem.

You hold down the power on/standby button and the thing comes on but
there is nothing booting, not even BIOS messages so I hold the button
down for 5 seconds to turn it off.

Have another go, this time the BIOS screen comes up (F2 to enter setup
etc) but no boot.

When I try again it boots no problem! Very odd so I ran the latest
BIOS upgrade with the winupdate utility and no change.

Any suggestions?
