As a simple thing to try: While taking anti-static precautions, remove all the plug in cards on the motherboard (RAM, video, sound, etc.), and reinsert them. But if anything is dusty, carefully clean it before reinsertion. Some PC cases twist out of shape and pull out cards, disrupting connections when they're picked up and moved, and require a bit of TLC to fix them up. It's yet one reason why computers fail when someone does a new release installation - because they've moved the machine to work on it. > I wasted a lot of time trying to install F22 on the first machine. The install routines, years ago, used to have an option to test your RAM, and test the install media, before proceeding. I don't know if they still do. While timeconsuming, they could be left to do it unattended, and is better than finding out something was wrong post-installation. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
