Something is terribly wrong - General Failure

[Tys]

Big problem with our test lab DC here.

 

It suddenly stopped responding to pings and any type of activity over the network a few minutes ago, pinging it is giving me "General Failure" which leads me to believe it's a NIC issue.

I'm currently connecting a keyboard and screen up so I can see console.

 

Any input on this, guys? I'm stumped as to why it happened so suddenly, I was working on it one second and disconnected the next.

General failure is normally a network not connected so Nic/Switch or cable fault.

 

Thanks

Found the problem as soon as I got a monitor wired up - a failed update.

 

The DC was rebooting constantly, stuck on one failed update. Cleared that up and it's fine now!
