When I start my PC i get 2 beeps (evrything's ok), I then get the windows screen as though it is starting, but then it re-starts 2 beeps, windows screen and then the cursor arrow and windows starts ok. So it seems to me that it is going through the 'post' ? twice ? Really strange. Does anyone have any ideas please ?

ECS Motherboard. I thought that I had Sasser and tried the symantec removal tool but that said 'not found'. I have run, adaware, spybot and spyware blaster.

what bios do you have - 2 beeps on an ami bios is 'memory parity error', for example

Sorry , I didn't make myself clear, 2 single beeps is the normal start up sound.

Havn't checked how many dimm slots there are on this mobo, but presuming theres 3.. How many sticks of memory have you got? Try moving one of the sticks to another slot.
