Hello All,

I have a computer with a problem I haven't seen before.
Until recently (in the MS DOS mode of Windows 95) pressing
the Print Screen key caused the screen to print out on a
dot matrix printer.

Now, it causes the computer to Reset (reboot) itself.
The most recent change made to the computer was a PCI
network card was added so the computer could talk to
a server running Novell 4.11. That part (and everything else) works fine.
The wiring is twisted pair and RJ-45.

The only other fairly recent change involved replacing the 230 watt power
supply
as its cooling fan had quit.

Anyone have any ideas as to what to fix or what to check?

The computer is a homebuilt P75 MHz AMD K5, 32 MB RAM, 2.7 GB hard drive,
sound card, external modem, and a 1 MB Trident PCI video card. The
computer uses Windows 95.
