Thank you,
You have just confirmed what I expected. The minute I saw
the error messages I knew it was bad and have not been
into the machine yet. The computer was built by a Co.
that I do not consider reputable and is still under
warranty or should be. I will check with my Co. owner to
see how he would like me to proceed and yes we have
stopped using this Co. since I was hired. I do not have a
problem going in, I am A+ certified. Thank you again.
