[Gllug] Grrr Computer Upgrading

	Most people don't upgrade their case. Except me I guess. Anyway I did and now 
a few things don't work. Well maybe I should say work relialbly....

1. The Bios comes up with a strange NMI error. Reading around on the internet 
seams to say some sort of memory error. I/O Parity comes into the error 
message too. Hit escape though and every thing seams fine until.....

2. Grub. Loads fine no menu however so the computer just loads straght into 
Linux (no bad thing you might say) but then its just not right. I did manage 
to get into my Windows by hmm changing the default in /etc/grub.conf and then 
using knoppix to put it back again. But I would much prefer to get the menu 
back.

	If anyone has any ideas please say. 
	I did not do anything to the setup just unplug it and plug it back in in a 
nice new case. I'm thinking now maybe I would have been better to get the new 
motherboard and processor I was trying to put off for another 6 months....
