John, Thanks for your reply. I think this problem has something to do with the PCI MGA card and/or its compatability with the P5-90. I have tried stripping the A.bat & C.sys but unfortunately the problem still occurs .. I suspect (without a great deal of logical reason) that it is therefore hardware/driver related, and although I can work around it most of the time it's a worrying problem and should have a solution ….. somewhere. I need to find someone with exactly the same setup which is easier said than done. Thank you for your comment on the power feature as I thought smartdrv was the culprit! Regards Richard
