    The death of a PC? Maybe you have some ideas...

    Windows 95B and 95C most certainly will read a FAT32 drive but not an NTFS drive without some 3rd party tricks. Check and reset everything plugged into the systemboard. The RAM, CPU, the fans, everything. Its very easy to knock something just a hair out of place when working inside the system...
