I shutdown again, booted, and the dreaded exclamation mark is back!
Grrr.

Do you guys think flashing the BIOS might be a good idea? I've never done that, kind of afraid I'll be left with a broken computer.

EDIT: Unfortunate typo on 'shutdown' :P

One of my Workshop PC's does that sometimes, shows the exclamation mark, yet will quite happily browse the LAN or go on the internet,then about 3-5 minutes later it decides it is actually connected after all and shows as such.

Yes, no internets and no local, can't even ping the router. It shows as working fine (apart from teh exclamation mark), but without anything actually working.
