Default startup

on startup computer states that it's Checking NVDRAM and just sits there and
does not get passed this. I shut down computer and touch and push in cards,
memory and cables and then I restart computer and it starts with no problem.
I might have to do this several times before I get it to start up correctly
any idea what Ram it is checking and why it hangs there does not even get to
the POST

Hi

The graphics card is being checked. Instead of pushing the graphics card
in, take the card out completely, clean the gold contacts (very carefully)
then replace the card. Then start your PC up again to see if there is any
difference.
