Thx for your message whitch can explain all the precedent ones.
In my case, on my laptop with PIII and GeForce2, after having BSOD, it happens really
often that I can't reboot. After 5 or 6 tentatives, the reboot occurs and the fan
is at its maxi speed immediately.
But how cooler le laptop ...
And my BIOS doesn't allow me to reduce clock speed ...
any help ?
