boot problem

[stinka]

ive had some system probs

turned out it was motherboard shorting out

but now ive another headache

when i boot i get a message :

nvidia boot agent
pxe-e61: media test failure, check cable
pxe-mof: exiting nvidia boot agent
DISK BOOT FALIURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

my raid stripe array is healthy and set to boot

im a bit vexed as to what could be causing it, i really dont want to have to format and reinstall

anyone got any ideas ?

thanks

Daft question probably, but you have opened it back up and checked everything is plugged in and seated properly?

As above, check all physical connections. Are you using IDE drives? Check they're configured alright.

Boot up order? Very strange for a motherboard short to cause that. hmmmm glad its fixed now.

You know what, mine went through a phase about a year ago where it would just switch off dead after 10-20 mins and re-boot itself.

its fine now and i dont know what happened to this day
