The three fingered salute...right or wrong? | |

The three fingered salute...right or wrong? I would say, that not for the first time, Bill is wrong. A single re-boot switch on the keyboard would make it too easy to make a mistake. | |

The three fingered salute...right or wrong? The article is incorrect, and I note that lots of Mac and *nix fans like to jump all over the mis-quoting by David Bradley. CTRL+ALT+DEL did not become popular in the early 90s, and Mr. Bradley was not referring to using CTRL+ALT+DEL so much to restart a Microsoft OS because it crashed all the time. Mr. Bradley was referring to the fact that Microsoft chose to use CTRL+ALT+DEL as the method to log into your PC - but that was on NT flavored OSes which didn't see widespread use until Windows XP, and even then it was only on corporate based machines. Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, as well as server variants were mostly only used by enthusiasts and other specific positions within a company. Even though many IBM PC Compatible users were using CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot, I wouldn't exactly call it popular if only a relatively small portion of the world used computers as that time. | |

The three fingered salute...right or wrong? Agreed. Better to have it purposefully difficult and require two hands so as to not be done by accident. | |

Here's an issue I've never come across before. Booting up my system on Friday all I got was a black screen with the graphics details showing and a flashing cursor. It would not proceed to the bios followed by O/S booting. | |

It would not proceed to the bios followed by O/S booting. PSU failing? Dust/dirt fouling the cooling or slot contacts?... Run a memcheck...

Had a spring clean the weekend before. It's a fairly newish PSU, but it's an idea to swap it out to test. | |

Is the PCI-E slot failing or is there another issue involved? Could be. Well, not the slot per say but the MB. Too many card insertions and removals can cause traces to break. Might be fine when cold but go flaky when hot - or the reverse. Could also be a PSU ready to quit or perhaps the infamous capacitor issue. With three different cards, you have eliminated that. With the system up and happy without a card you also eliminate a lot of other possibles. ____________   | |

Swapped out the PSU, same problem. No Ram issues and gave it another thorough clean. | |

Looks like a I/O bus hardware control chip went south or a broken trace / cold solder joint. | |

No but they're still having electrical issues. I can't seem to get through to her. I can only hope that nothing bad happens. house wireing is nothing to play around with when it starts acting up. Keep pestering her, You could save a life. ____________  Old James | |

No but they're still having electrical issues. I can't seem to get through to her. I will but the problem is that the year I relocated here, a relative of theirs died in a house fire approx. 5 minutes away from my current address. The family have since become my customers. That's 63 members and they're a great extended family. I think their issue is finances. I've pointed out that money is useless to them should they experience a fire. ____________    | |
