[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Its too hot -- and my PC knows it

hhg1@GTE.COM (Hallett German) (07/30/89)

My phone machine is an XT with an Orchid Turbo Board , 512K a 3.5 and
5.25 drive

I have been unfortunately been needing to use it in a fan-cooled room.
Now it only ocassionally boots up usually power it on and you just
hear the fan thats it . No hard drive beep no POST.

Question # 1 I think it is the BIOS chips failing or memory/hard drive

             Is that a good assumpton?
Question #2 Where can I get a replacement BIOS and how much do they
cost?

Any help or moral support on this would be appreciated. I just paid it
off too!
