I was wondering if anyone here has heard of such an issue. For a while now my self built desktop has on occasion rebooted around the point where I would anticipate the power on self test has just finished, but it started fine the second time. However just a few minutes ago it got stuck in a loop where it was doing this repeatedly, and when it had got past it I had no sound so had no idea whether Windows had booted or not. Several tries later I finally got into windows to find Jaws insisting the computer needed reauthorizing and one of the fans seemed stuck on full bore, it was fairly high pitched so I suspect it was the graphics card fan. A reb oot fixed the fan stuck on full power but Jaws kept insisting it had no authorisation, an issue I've come across on occasion in the past, but turning it off for a minute or two fixed this like it has done previously. Of course I am concerned this is a sign of a deeper underlieing problem so that's why I'm asking here.
Part of the trouble is it doesn't happen often so I can't ask someone sighted to see what happens on the screen, I just can't cause it to happen on command. Any thoughts are welcome.
Edit:
It seems particularly persistent today. In case it matters I'm running win 7 64 bit and Jaws 13, I know my hard drives are connected because it does boot properly some of the time and I'm using an SSD as my primary.
