You have a hardware problem, you can try reseating the memory and unplugging attached devices to see if you can track down the problem. Maybe be a faulty motherboard or power supply. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Sarge" wrote in message news:uZ1jxx6AJHA.2172@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi I have win xp on my computer when I turn it on the computer comes on > but theres no beeb noise I have to keep pushing the restart button a lot > of times to get it started, what should I do to try to fix this >

Sorry about your condition, but I have cancer with about six months left. What restart button are you pushing? I don't remember such an animal.

Sorry to hear that I had a stem cell transplant and so far so good. I have two buttons one that turns the computer and I always was thinking the other one was a restart button if you push it the computer screen goes black and then it restartes windowns "Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM" wrote in message news:uS$1Qe$AJHA.3400@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Sorry about your condition, but I have cancer with about six months left. > What restart button are you pushing?

That's not a 'Restart' button, it's a 'Reset' button to be used only when you can't restart the computer properly. The Restart in the Shut Down box goes through a clean shutdown before restarting. The Reset button just powers the computer off and then on, a 'dirty' shutdown that can cause damage to Windows. -- Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM Do not reply with email
