Is the CPU heat sink properly seated with some thermal paste in there? If the video card requires a power plug, is it plugged in there?

i managed to resolve my problem by tking the motherboards battery out then back in seems to have done the job, will this problem come back again???? as that would be quite annoying

As I said in another thread, I had the same problem and all I did was change the direction of the RAM and put them in different coloured ports... no idea why it worked but it did and it might work for you, you never know.
