how do you reset cmos with computer off?

someone else gave the same advice.

try resetting CMOS.
you can't do any repair if you can't at least get to computer BIOS.

otherwise it's given up the ghost.

kind of snaughty. i'd say.

The manual always tells you. And every computer is different.

I am sure this problem has been solved by now, but I thought I would correct the bad advice.

Solution: Boot to XP install (or any live CD that can read and write NTFS files like DSL Live). Hit "R" for repair. Once at the command prompt delete Hiberfil.sys (del c:\Hiberfil.sys). Then just restart (type exit). Sometimes hiberfil.sys gets messed up if RAM that is not seated properly. If that doesn't fix it let me know. John Maxwell
