flashsnaps Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Read up on a few other threads - this seems an odd issue. Computer boots up fine, but as soon as you insert a cat5 cable it just reboots? There is some kind of comflict going on, but I can't understand why that would be - computer was working fine last week. -Tried different cable -Tried booting with cable, but still reboots after period of time
Jackd Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Try using a linux live cd then you can see if its windows or not. Maybe something is shorting, perhaps one of the connectors? Jack
FN-GM Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Try another NIC & Port on switch, see what happens then.
MkII Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Onboard NIC /dodgy connection? Either add a card NIC or swap out the existing card??
mrcrazy04 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Is it BSoD'ing (do you get a blue flash on the screen before it reboots), or does it just reboot? Also, does it work fine if you boot it with the cable plugged in before you turn it on?
Sirbendy Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 No bent pins in the NIC socket? Nothing shorting? As said, slap another NIC into it and see what happens..
