PC Occasionally Doesn't Boot
 

I have a brand x clone running Windows 2000. Occasionally, it has trouble
booting. It sometimes does the BIOS check, then hangs, sometimes it hangs
during the boot process itself.

I have done virus scans, and run defrag. I remember MSFT used to deliver a
utility called scandisk. Maybe they don't naymore.

Anyway, can someone suggest other things I can try to remedy the problem, short
of buying a new PC?

Learn about what a quality power supply is and try a better one. More watts
doesn't always mean better.
