I just repaired a pc this morning with the same issue.
There are several things that can cause it. I have repaired at least 4
other pcs with the same issue by testing the RAM and found one or
several sticks bad. Try starting the pc with just one stick at a
time. I don't know how many sticks you have. Use one stick in the
slot closest to the processor. If it doesn't work take that stick out
and try another one.



Thanks for the idea, but I neglected to mention that I did test the
memory using memtest86, and got no errors. I've also used the system
with a Knoppix DVD, and got no problems doing that. It seems safe to
rule out bad memory.
