    laptop will not load windows
    « on: March 07, 2012, 03:15:53 AM »
    when i turn on my laptop it makes a beeping sound and i either get a blank grey screen or a grey screen with writing on it  which in part says Intel UNDI PXE-2.1 BUild 082 Intel Corp for Atheos PCIE ethernet Controller V2,0.1.2(07. 29.09 plus other stuff but ends with PXE.E 53: no boot file received PXE- MOF: exiting intel PXE rom . Reboot and select proper boot device insert boot media in selected rom.
    I have to turn computer on and off heaps of times before windows load, I rang company and they suggested doing a full recovery to original factory settings have done that it shut itself on and off as it was reinstalling windows with no dramas but as soon as I shut down and restarted same problem, I tried setting it so that when I put it into sleep mode it would never turn off but when I turn it back on same thing happens sometimes it says windows did not shut down properly then I click on start windows normally and it is ok.
    My Question what is happening how do I fix and will I do damage by turning on and off many times just to start Laptop thankyou very much

    Your BIOS has been configured to boot from the network card as a priority. We want it to boot from the Hard Drive instead.

      Yeah it should be fine after you set it to "Hard Drive."

        The one that says Hard Drive or HDD. Just move the Network option to the bottom. Also, replace the cmos battery.
