    Why so?  Although Packard Bell left the U.S. market years ago, they're still engaged in parts of Europe.  I admit I don't know anything about their reputation in Europe.

      OK. We like your attitude and candor.
      Give use as much relevant information you can about supercomputer and its problem. Model number. Where and when you got it. How old might it be. Which versions of XP. Is it the version that came with the PC. Did the problem start after a change to the hardware? Or did a new program start to mess things up? Do you have a good Anti Virus program?

      Power on the machine a start tapping keys like deleter F1 F8 F10 ESC until you get into the BIOS setup.
