I had the same thing.  I then left it turned off for a couple hours and it worked fine.  It has happened twice since then and the same cure fixed it. I think it is just overheating.

Oh yeah, wrong forum buttwipe. :)

Yea boot probs usually occur from aging power supplies.  Grab a quality Fortron/Sparkle on Newegg for your friend.  If just to test get an Antec from CompUSA or Best Buy to see if it works fine, then return if it doesn\'t.

power supply will keep it from booting?  Mine hung up before I could even get to bios.  I shut it off for a bit and it worked fine.

I\'d love for it to be the power supply.  I was thinking it may be the motherboard.

I don\'t want a new computer for at least another year or 2.  I am at 1.4 ghz and I really want to wait until they hit 5 so I need to squeak out another year or so.

Yea Vid worth a shot.  My p3 800 would boot every so often until I swapped out PSU\'s, then it was super stable and would boot all the time.

Kim- dang that sucks!  Did you have a surge protector connected?  I know they all work up until a certain point, which is why it\'s best to get a high quality UPS.
