- One of three things:
-
- 1. Power problems (bigger pack wanted). This will depend upon his
- memory and hard drive used. I can run mine (120meg 2.5inch+4meg 70ns SIMM)
- off a C= PSU, but Malcolm(@ogden), a friend I know, will not even turn on
- with it (10meg SIMM, 1gig HD, III Blizard)
-
- 2. Heat problems (although 2 mins isn't enough to cause this).
-
- 3. Incompatability of either software or hardware. What other hardware
- does he have? Has he tried booting from a vanilla WB?

- Stu. :)
