And you're running Windows 3.1 on a Belchfire 90 computer... or what? Sounds like a hardware problem. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

I had similar symptoms when I had a dying SCSI hard disk. -- Tony Alfrey tonyalfrey@earthlink.net "I'd rather be sailing"

The blinking keyboard LEDs usually indicates a kernel panic. Your challenge is to figure out what its panicing on. Check log files for any indications of problems. Check Ctrl+Alt+F10 to see if errors are appearing before the lockup. Bad hardware can cause this such as a failing harddrive, a power supply that is going bad, bad RAM, etc. It could be that last bit of software you added/updated and is now causing a conflict. You indicate its happened in the past but is now more frequent. This is most often a hardware problem just before absolute failure. Stan
