Fourbouy

UPDATE ON ABOVE.

Next I ran Check disk, which went all the way thru, no worries. I then did a couple of re-starts, windows update + restart, then put the lid down & went to bed.

However, I did notice that it was flashing one of the lights on, which usually means it has not hone into hibernation or low power state, like it used to.

Came to it this morning, pressed the button, it stopped flashing, cd drive spun for 3 secs, hard drive led came on for a couple of secs, and again black screen, and nothing.

OS is XP pro, serv pack 2.

Does this give anyone any pointers?
