Scify,

You really need to find a friend who knows PC stuff. based on what you said so far, I'd guess a bad power supply. There are cheap testers for about $15 that are very reliable. I have thrown away many good mobos due to not knowing I had a bad power supply and my spare/test power supplies were bad too. Still makes me mad thinking about it. Next, I'd guess heat is an issue. Again, get a buddy who knows about PC's and builds them. Later!

PS: I still have 3 Voodoo cards that all work. I have a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP,
VooDoo 3 3500 AGP w/TV, VooDoo 3 3000 AGP. I love my VooDoo cards!
~Peace~

I finally geting screen it hour to get screen.I am old computer it run slow and freeze if don't watch and it hard find web sites for strange reason.

One thing I was getting message was Boot agent PXE 2.1 which nameless found soft ware to fix it.


http://www.intel.com/support/network/ad ... tm#anchor1

Intel® Boot Agent The Intel® Boot Agent can be used to boot a diskless workstation or to install an operating system on a new computer. The computer receives the boot image over Ethernet through an Intel® network adapter. Intel® Boot Agent is compliant to the PXE 2.1 standard. For network connections built into a computer, refer to the manufacturer's documentation for that computer.


Scify maybe have somebody look at computer

I been look Intel® Boot Agent is compliant to the PXE 2.1 to fix that message. I down soft wear but have install it yet .
IS safe to use it

personaly i would check the ram to see if it was seated properly it almost sounds like it is getting hot or the two sticks dont like each other you might pull one out and try it see if it boots up in case you have a bad ram stick if its a driver problem you can use the win cd to do a sytem repair not the restore it has a section on it that lets you do a windows repair in case it goes bad hope this helps
