Therefore , there is a necessity to check that - processor is working correctly - memories are working correctly - memory management chips are working correctly . Another problem may be a program which is causing generation of an invalid address showing boot start code and jumping into it . This is very easy for a i386 real mode program . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
