Thanks for the advice.
Memtest86 gave a clean bill of health.
This morning the pc booted as far as the login screen then when I
entered my password it rebooted and froze at the boot splash.
I then tried unpluggiing all except the system disk and now when I try
to boot tne pc emits a continuous high pitched beep and doesnt get to
the boot splash.
I think I need professional help.

Can't speak for you, but as for your computer ... (sorry, couldn't
resist!)

When you say you unplugged all but the disk, you didn't unplug your RAM,
did you? Some mobos will complain (in fact I think most will) if you do
that.

Might be worth checking your mobo's manual for what continuous beep
indicates, if there's a table of what various beeps mean.
