My desktop computer info: Windows XP Home
Pentium 4, 3.0 Ghz
40 Gig HD
1 Gig RAM
AVG 7.0 anti-virus
SpyBot Search and Destroy
AdAware
Computer works fine, using most any application. However, when we shut the system down
we are not able to restart for many, many hours (like overnight)!
We have tried to restart immediately, in a couple of hours, or 4 hours and nothing happens.
The next morning, the computer will start right up!
When the computer does not start, we do not hear the customary "beep" associated with the
completion of POST, nor do we hear any other beeps, see lights on the optical mouse or screen
raster.
I have replaced the CMOS battery.
Please, any ideas? All help appreciated
Thanks
