83590	2002-09-26 22:32:00	My computer beeps 5 times on startup and comes up with the message "system hardware abnormal, press any key to continue" When any key is pressed, a message comes up "DHCP MAC ADDR: 00 D0 B7 3B 6E 44 PEX-E53: No boot filename recieved" Computer boots and seems to work normally after you press any key. Any ideas as to what the problem might be. Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks eddie	eddierodgers (2040)

You may get a lot more assistance if you tell what the circumstances (networked/stand alone) and hardware / operating system used Flying blind otherwise...	godfather (25)

However, it would not boot at all, so I don't think this is your problem. If you have installed RAM recently, you could try this anyway. G P	Graham Petrie (449)

If it's on the motherboard, look for a BIOS setting to disable that. Otherwise ... if its a card with no jumpers you will need to find a setup disk for it. If you haven't got a network, remove the card or disable it in the BIOS.	Graham L (2)
