Hey guys, might be an easy question. I'm yet to do a full diagnosis, I just noticed it last night before bed. I switched on my computer, and an error message occured along the lines of "Insert a system disc that you can boot off.". Strange! I hadn't moved anything. The disc is a 3-month-old...

If he's on a budget then maybe he should consider waiting until after Christmas? Parts are cheaper then, right?

I've been recommended a group called Tyan going for an SMP motherboard.
