John: I used to have that problem too. It hasn't come back since I replaced the 286 BB with the 386SX one. One of the things I found out was that many VGA cards look to see if a monitor is connected at startup. If it doesn't see a monitor, it assumes that it can take the day off. So be sure that the monitor is on prior to starting the computer. It didn't help all the time, but it seemed to boot up wrong less frequently. Paul
