IBM PC XT with 512K Memory, 10 meg disk and a tape backup unit
does not boot when Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed. 
This only happens when it is on for an hour. After Ctrl-Alt-Del
is pressed the hard-drive light stays on and nothing happens. If
I keep a dos diskette in drive A, the same thing happens.
It was taken to a local shop and there was nothing wrong they
could find.

Any idea ?
