Unusual restart problem

[John Corry]

Running Windox XP Pro SOLTEK 75KAV M/B. System will not
reboot, failing just after POST with either blank screen
with flashing cursor or variety of unable to load system
file.

Leave for a few minutes and boots OK.

System is not running too hot, system works OK when
running.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Hi,

Failing hardware. It fails when cold, but is ok once warmed up. Could be a
hairline crack, tough to tell. Anyhow, something needs replacing. Either
swap in known-good parts or bring it into a shop.
