I think you took it wrong. I feel very strongly toward open source and Linux--I live my life by it but I'm not particularly concerned with gadgetry. I'm not asking anyone to be...

Put the power supply back to 220 and run the computer. Since it didn't reboot in Safe Mode, it is a software problem...or that the power supply was set incorrectly.

It is likely your Power Supply in the PC. I know it sounds weird but I have had this problem many times. You should also check your RAM.
Another troubleshooting item: Bring up the computer in Safe...

What happens when you click the Home button? I had a similar problem when I first upgraded.

Yes, it's Sunday again and you know what that means--Crystal Ball Sunday and new predictions for Linux and Open Source for the coming months. This week I probe application and operating system...
