Thanks for that. *Yes, I followed that advice, upgraded the BIOS and it
has behaved perfectly since then.

Both the solutions (freeze or leave for long time) sound like ways of
clearing the BIOS (freezing car radios used to be a way to clear their
security codes!).

If there is an accessible battery (probably not) then pull it and leave for
a week might do the same job. *Or there may even be a way to force clearing
the BIOS on boot.

Talking ********.

The BIOS is in Flash memory. You don't want to clear that.
