panp4 won't start up
Hi, I've had my Pangolin Performance laptop for about 3 months now. I believe it is a panp4i. I am running Hardy (8.04.1). My hardware configuration is: Core 2 Duo P8400, 4 GB DDR2 and 320 GB 5400 RPM SATA II. No Nvidia graphics card.
At first I had problems with the system randomly freezing up while I was working. Typical programs running are Firefox, Eclipse and a terminal window. Sometimes also a Nautilus window. This freeze up happened a couple of times over the course of a couple of weeks. I would have to do a hard shutdown and reboot. In the last couple of days, this has become more frequent and when I'd try and reboot, nothing at all happened. I found that I could press Fn+F7 and then the BIOS screen would appear and it would boot. Now even that doesn't work. I've turned the machine on and variously tried all of the Fn+F? combinations to no avail, all I get when I power up is a dark screen.
I suspect a BIOS issue or a hardware problem. What should I do next.
Thanks!
Tony
