I don't know why but you have to turn it off on back of system to reset it.

Nick thanks for the response.
It continues to blink even after a reset.
It is confusing,never ran into this before.

I think this has to do with the "standby" option. Did you ever use it with
XP? I had that happen once, it was a real pain to get it to stop. I think
that the only way to do it was to re-set the CMOS. Not sure though, since
this was about a year ago that it happened.

Sam,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I do not recall the stand by option being used.
I am dual booting and it happens in my other OS also.
Do you think that it could still be a CMOS issue?
Any reply appreciated.

I don't know, but resetting the CMOS certainly couldn't hurt. Pull the
power plug, then pull the battery and finally move the reset jumper for
about 10 seconds. Move it back to it's original position and reinstall the
battery and the power plug. Then go into the BIOS to change any settings
you may have customized.
