Check that your CPU fan is spinning, then try using the CMOS reset jumper, or take the battery out, then try removing/swapping ram, then try taking out the video board, then try phone back and act like you have never heard i of linux, but it doesn't even get to the "starting windows" screen -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
