Blank Blue Screen hang

My OS/2 system hangs with a blank blue screen more than 1/2 the time on bootup. I have the black & white clock in the middle and that's all. Nothing responds. The OFF button for the motherboard at the front of the computer will not work, when this happens???? I have to turn OFF at the powerstrip. I've tried changing the RUN statement in the CONFIG.SYS file (delete the WarpCenter startup, etc.). That does not work. My workaround is to boot up from floppies and copy my most recent backup of the OS2 INI files to C:\OS2 directory. That works almost all the time. I use Gamma Tech Sentry to make those backups. To me the problem seems to be some sort of corruption of the OS2.INI file during sessions as a result of the OS updating these files.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. I am using Warp 4 with fixpack 14. Thanks.

fix14 gave you a new kernel among other things. there are several updates/fixes for that fixpak. best bet go back to fix12 or on to fix15. you most likely need extra files for fix14, check the os/2 archives
