Left PC off at mains overnight. Then on BIOS setup for about 15 minutes. When leaving BIOS it crashed though the keyboard still worked. See screen photo.
CTL-ALT-DEL worked OK and the PC booted into W7 without any trouble.
So there's a growing amount of evidence that the W7 hang problem is BIOS related. I might replace the battery anyway, even though it seems OK. Might be worth taking out the battery and leaving it out for half an hour just to make sure that anything it supports truly forgets what was stored.
Am I right in thinking that the standby 5V from the PSU supports the things that would be supported by the battery if the mains is off?
