With your vague description above, the only thing I could advise is go see the local wizard, buy some magic potion and pour it slowly but constanly into the power supply of your PC, murmuring some holy curses.
Nothing logs on my screen. Right now I am not getting any beeps. It does not make it to the post. It does not make it to the OS booting either. Right now I am not able to get into the bios. It has randomly let me get into the bios. The CPU was 150 fahrenheit and the rest of the computer was 100 fahrenheit.

I am running Solaris 9 and wanted the CDE stopped when my users login. Can this be done by adding something to the .profile? Basically when they login they should be at the command line and have to start the CDE themselves.
