Reddy, it is a common myth (and myths are often truth) that 95% of all
computer problems are hardware issues, the physical world taking its
toll. Reseating memory and modules is certainly where I would start. It
doesn't cost much to do that. Make sure the inside of the case is not
dusty or dirty, that the fans are working and there are no obstructions
around the case. None of this costs any money, and I would certainly do
that before throwing money at the box. I had a 3600 in my teaching lab
that was showing no interface when I could see the card was there. The
little screws were loose but the card was fully in its slot. I pulled and
reseated the card, tightened the screws, and the interface
appeared.

There is a cartoon in our local paper that occasionally has a computer
person appear. He is dressed as a wizard, probably because what he does
all looks like magic. Sometimes I believe that too, as there seems to be
no other explanation. Good luck.
