Does Anyone Know What This Is ? ?

When you power up a new build, and the keyboard lights flash (normal) HHD kickin, but the display monitor is multi-color colums and thats it. 'Sys wll not boot pass this point. This is build out of the case, Xeon P4 (in this instance) Have done all those suggested things, replace MoB, Power Supply, memory etc, monitor, video card - those basic things we do to isolate a problem. Could it be the CPU's ? ?

Thanks - hap

Send a message via AIM to njskatchmo
I love when computers refuse to boot. This error message is new. Maybe your PC is just pmsing, lol. jk. You get no beep messages or anything? It boots normally and then just stops with that message?

How is the room temp? Is it about 80'F or more?

Have you tried the monitor on another system (just to eliminate one variable)

Have you tried a different video card?
