For some reason whenI press the reset switch the computer does not reset.What happens s the DVD/rw rom led blinks on and off then the bottom cd-rom led go's on and off.Then they both alternately blink on and off..Meanwhile the computer dosent reset.Thanks in advance..Chilll :cool:

Chilll go into your bios and click on integrated peripherals then when open scroll down to onboard serial port1-Disable it,then right under that IRDA Select-Disable that also and one more scroll down to onboard Parallel Port-Disable that also.Boot back up and it will work.This seams to be a problem for some with the reset.If your using the searial & parallel ports try just disableing IRDA Select that might do it also,if not disable the other 2.

I was hesitant about disabling the parallel port due to my printer is on it but did it anyway.Just as I suspected my printer didnt work.I re-enabled the parallel port printer works and computer now resets.As you can tell I just had to edit this message.I couldnt get into Bios set up with the serial disabled.The only thing I disabled was the IRDA .......It seems to be working now......Thank you.CHilll
