Thanks. that was my first thought. The amd chip runs at
about 54 to 57 degrees according to the bios and therefore
seems OK. The power supply had a thermal cutout and the PC
was not in the best location for ventilation and so I
thought the power supply had got damaged. I have replaced
this but no change. If it was a heating problem surely it
would fail just the same in safe mode or am I missing
somethng? Equally, I presume safe mode still loads into
what we used to call high memory. if it doesn't then it
could be the ram that's faulty.
Any thoughts?
