Actually, I didn't, but I pulled the Video card out, vacuumed the slot, wiped the card connectors down with a rag, and re-inserted it.
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 >
