speckytecky Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 We have 5 HP Z200 workstations quite highly specked for photographic use that originally had XP Pro on them but now have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Four run like a dream but number five boots ok whilst I'm stood there watching it but then after use and shut down next time tries to and fails to pick up a PXE boot then goes to a flashing cursor on a black screen. Ctrl Alt Del results in it trying and failing to find the PXE boot image then going onto boot into Win 7 normally. Something in the BIOS - which is up to date I think but for the life of me I can't see what the problem is?
southhamster Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Might be worth resetting the cmos RAM. That has fixed strange problems a few times. That and song bios to system default. Good luck! We have some HP 250 G2 which won't pick up win pe -Thank heavens for CC4 smartclient! 1
plexer Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Log it with HP there is a fault on some of these machines and they need a motherboard replacement. Ben 1
FN-GM Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I would try a BIOS update and reset the settings to factory default. Hopefully should make things play nicer. 1
