[QUOTE="Alan_Reliant, post: 1743569, member: 387695"] I've reached the final straw with this device. I looked more closely at it yesterday and today. With install media in the ODD and three different working operating systems installed on three different functioning HDDs I can press opt key at boot get to a start up manager. I can clearly see all the drives and their respective recovery partitions . Regardless of the selected boot method I get the same results as before, half way through the progress bar and a hard reset. Even with the Ethernet connected, same result, if I do opt+d, same result. Whatever is preventing this device from booting its common to all possible boot option, this makes me think it's a hardware issue. I did think I could test the RAM but this device uses something called "FB RAM"!!! I draw the conclusion that either the MOBO or the FBRAM are in fail state but I have no way of testing against these so I've decided to call it. Thank you Jake for your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
