Was this a hardware glitch?
Yes, it was. I would highly suggest doing what
Michael said, but I'd
go a step further and unplug and reseat ALL of your
PCI cards AND your
RAM sticks. Make sure you use a static ground strap
when you play with
the RAM sticks (or keep part of your body in contact
with the metal
chassis of the machine at ALL times).
You (and Michael) should also bottom-post to this
list (post your
responses AFTER what you're responding to as I
have).

Try pulling the NIC card and rebooting. Clicking

good...could
be a head failure but I hope not.

I crashed the system and now I cannot boot up. I

It fails after listing PCI devices at the point

it tried to get a mac number. I get
GUID all zeros although I have a client IP number

a DHCP IP addreass.
The message is PXE-E53: no boot filename

about any of the applications.
thanks for any help
