JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

outlive your enemies
Once is fine and somewhat "normal" but if you have a hung EC or Chipset more than once (the problem you're describing, imo) you may need to change the bios version back or forth.

You have several little computers inside your big one, each with their own software and their own bugs. Some software is given to them by the bios on boot/reboot and it loads all it's programming before your screen switches on. If it crashes or divides by zero somehow your poo poo will stop working completely and just hang.

Do tell if it's repeatedly doing this.
