Intermittent Boot Issue on IC7

[mrstrat]

I'm have an intermittent problem with my IC7 at boot-up.

It will do the memory check, go through the bios check, display the IDE devices then I get a fast double-beep and it freezes. At that point, I can't get into the bios setup or do anything but reboot.

Again, this is only happening from time to time.

Any ideas??

If you're using Windows XP why not go to control panel/administrative tools/event viewer and see whether there are any reports in the log? These can at least give you a clue as to what might be going on.

first thing you should do is flash up to 1.5 and then go from there.
