However, I then start having boot issues.įirst, I was getting a PXE-E61 Media Test Failure Error which I was quick to figure out why - its a boot environment that allows the Intel Desktop Board to boot up using a network interface, instead of booting from an installed hard drive.

Turn the computer on, and a signal is sent to the monitor and I can finally see things.

Well when I booted it up, there was no signal being sent from the computer to the monitor, so I opened up the case and popped out the CMOS battery from the motherboard and let it sit for a half hour before putting it back in. A computer that was given to me a few years ago lie dormant until I decided to power it up today.
