Symptems.

1. PC won't boot. (not even error beeps)

2. Bootup hangs at "press del for setup"

3. Windows loads but then freezes.

3. System hangs while dialing up.

I've been having theese and other probs for the last few weeks. Most times a swift "upside the head" fixed it. That's why I post this in hardware.

What was the prob? Dirty contacts on my PCI Modem card!

Reseating the card didn't help. I had to use a Q-tip and Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the contacts.

File under "curious fixes".
