and the only card you have is video? did you try them all? any of the connectors you have on the mother board that have wires going to them from the power supply need to be checked as well. Rikard Johnels wrote: On Tuesday 17 October 2006 07:01, Greg Wallace wrote:

sounds to me like you removed a pci card or recently installed one, and

didnt seat it properly.

take out all the cards, wipe down the connectors, and firmly re insert

them, that should do the trick?

Lots of cutted text: I recently got a machine i had to fix for a customer. It had almost the same problem, but it was failing with "probable CPU problem" I proceded by removing everything but the cpu . Mem, cards disks. EVERYTHING. And proceded by adding one thing at the time. First ram, then graphics, then disks, then card by card. I found the NIC being the culprit. As soon as i inserted it the box died on me again. Do it step by step. And make sure you power down between the steps. Some errors doesnt show on reboot, only on cold boot. Good luck. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 > Steve Reilly Blog: http://72.227.4.163/ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I think my Network is on-board. I only have 1 card in the machine (Video). The ethernet connection is into a slot built into the motherboard.

Do it step by step. And make sure you power down between the steps. Some errors doesnt show on reboot, only on cold boot.

Good luck.
