Thats definately interesting - I only have limited knowledge of poking around in hardware though so I'd prefer for the problem to be fixed b4 sale. However, if the system just requires a couple of resets b4 it will boot up - as long as it wouldn't corrupt the HD or anything like that then its not a biggie?
So is workbench 3.9 installed, and can u confirm all the games run well? Any pictures?
