[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1435639, member: 56379"] In some cases...items that connected to the computer can be a problem (external monitors, external HD's, external input devices, printers, iPods, etc.)...and/or any special software that is installed for these devices...ALL can be potential sources of problems. So it's best to unplug everything from the computer...and maybe uninstall any specialized software for these devices...to make things as simple as possible. This is why I suggested booting the computer from an OS install disk (which will isolate/eliminate any issues due to the OS install or software installs on the internal HD)...or bootable USB stick (with no peripherals plugged into the computer). Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
