    Boot UP Problem

    The pc boots fine but only on the third attempt. And it does this by it self. It is weird. I have tried already to set the timing manually but nothing changes. I'll fiddle around a bit more and see what happens.

    HELP - Vista Boot Problem

    Agree with you on that.. Vista is just plain bad. It is an Acer Aspire 7720g from 2007 so I guess it ran its course the poor old bastard!! :D On the bright side this means I can now treat myself with a new desktop system! And Sandy Bridge looks very tempting!
