You checked it over completely? Something inside the machine is perhaps shaken
lose? The symptoms indicate that some hardware item is not responding correctly. Can you boot to a floppy startup disk? If so, can you read the hard disk contents? If so, try a Step-by-Step startup. OK everything. What is the last item listed before it freezes? Or, try a logged startup. Then read the bootlog.txt file from a floppy startup and see what the last item is. -- Gary S.
