After being used for five years, my Dell Optiplex GX270 is having POST startup problems.
When turned on after being off for a long period of time, the computer would say something like the Checkpoint to Emem has failed. I don't know what the message says as it goes away and blanks out after a few seconds.
It does that after a few times that I restart it. When it doesn't do that, the PC is fine - for a few hours, at which period, it would blank out. It doesn't show that message, but I would have to restart it when it does that. It keeps doing that after each manual restart.
So, either it shows the Emem message and freezes after it is off, or, when turned to Windows, it blanks out after a few hours after each manual restart.
I have reached an impasse.
Any help/recommendation would be great. Thank you.
