Any suggestions as to why it sometimes takes up to 5 attempts to boot my 9750? I will boot up, and after a few seconds everything freezes up, have to hard shut-down, boot again, same thing. Sometimes will boot 3rd time, sometimes not until 4th or 5th attempt. Once it boots good, it runs great, it's just real annoying to have to keep doing this.

Thanks in Advance
George

Sounds like something loose or overheated.
RMA it.
