For some strange reason, my computer decided to throw a fit tonight, and I'm having a hard time diagnosing the problem. So I'll turn it over to you:
I came home tonight to find out that my computer would not "wake up" (I've got the monitor set to shut off after x amount of time; moving the mouse or hitting a key usually brings it back up). No big deal; I'll just restart it. Did that, and it worked for a while, then locked again. So again I restarted it. This time it didn't even make it to windows. Restart again, and it didn't get past detecting my Promise Ultra133 card. The computer will even lock up if I'm in the BIOS, so it doesn't look like a windows problem. Letting it sit seems to help, which leads me to believe it's a heat problem somewhere. Fans are all working though, and this set up is the same one I've been using since last christmas. Nothing's changed as far as hardware is concerned.
