    Wink System lock up

    My system stops at the boot up sequence right after the memory count

    activity. The monintor is activated and stayed white without any message

    indication. The system is a pc100 333 MHz intel celeron.

    Did you adjust any bios settings prior to this happening, or add memory? Is the system overclocked?

    If your memory bus is set at 100 as opposed to the 66 that celeron needs, the computer may not be able to handle it, there may also be a memory latency setting set incorrectly...
    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    The monitor is white???

    If it makes it as far as the memory count, it's not likely to be a BIOS problem, unless you don't get one beep from the speaker. The beep usually sounds before the memory count.

    Try pulling the video card and reseating it, same for the memory chips.
