I need help to understand why my son's PC is behaving a certain way!!
It starts to boot up and then after going through the boot-up from BIOS it
stops with the cursor blinking in the top left corner.
I reset the BIOS by moving the jumper - thinking that it might need to be
reset since I was seeing an inconsistent boot-up process - sometimes it
would start to boot-up and get stuck at the step that it is "Checking
Memory", requiring that I turn off the power, other times it would go past
that. I inserted a bootable Norton Systemworks 2003 CD and chose a step to
get it to boot from the CD drive but again I got the 'blinking cursor in the
top left corner of the screen".
What could be going on???? Is the CPU/motherboard bad? or is it the BIOS?
I changed the lithium battery on the BIOS - just to rule out the battery
being low, and there was not change in the above problem!!!
Thanks,
Ted M.
