*Computer won't boot up unless I hit the reset button after it goes through POST! Any ideas?
so i built my brother a new computer for christmas, and everything works just fine, except one little detail. he claims when he turns it on, it runs through the initial POST information to start up. just when it should launch Windows XP, it hangs with a blank (black) screen, and nothing else happens! if he pushes the reset button, it boots again, and goes right into XP without a problem. Any ideas how he can get it to boot correctly the first time? thanks! - RK
