[MLB-WIRELESS] Seeking Socket 7

[Mark Barczynski]

Even if it was as simple as powering up to the blank screen and THEN
resetting the mobo ?

Laptops frequently (usually loaded with Win98/ME) do something similar,
where they will turn on to a blank screen. They are resuming, or waking up
Windows into a crashed state. Usually on laptops, one holds down the power
button for five seconds to force a (dis)graceful shutdown (same as ATX type
PC's). Press power again to power up, and the BIOS screen should turn up
like normal and Windows should proceed to run a 'Windows was shutdown
unexpectantly' type of sequence.

Apologies if this was covered, or I missed the point...  my two cents...

Regards,

Mark

spin up...but it didn't go any further and i still don't get any display on
the monitor despite putting in a vid card i know works)
