Peter.
Sounds like some component is intermitintly failing the POST, (Power On Self
Test).
Have you put any expandion cards in recently that you could take out one by
one and see if it boots fine each time?
EG. PCI to IDE card?
I'd also try booting it with the system drive plugged in. So if you've any
other data drives unplug them.
If it boots fine after the drive unplug step it may very well be the psu.
It's one of those ones where you've just got to try everything.
It could also be a bad registry causing the unit to stall as it loads
windows.
After trying the hardware and removing any unnecessary cards/other hardware
that aren't needed for booting into the OS. The next step I'd try is
re-installing XP.
Before lookg into new hardware.
Good hardware diognostic software is out there but it's all pretty much
awkward for a totally blind person to use because it boots into it's own
aplication that has no speech.

I don't believe this is a power supply problem Harry but thanks anyway.

Subject: [access-uk] Boot up problem
For a while now this computerdoes not boot up as it should. My way
around this is just to keepswitching the power off and back on again. I
have to do this several times before eventually, the machine boots up.
While using the machine, if a restart is required, things start normally.
What I would llike to know is what can I do tosort this out or do I need
some sighted assistance.
