| 801401 | 2009-08-16 06:59:00 | Update: Driver problem sorted - perfect install on one machine - now trying deploying that image onto the other one, followed by the BIOS update if that doesn't work. It appears that the working unit and a non-working one both have BIOS version 09 but I will flash it to the latest stable one anyway if the deployed image doesn't boot. |

| 801402 | 2009-08-16 07:19:00 | Argh, sorry to triple post guys but I keep missing the edit timeframe. Just wanted to note that it will not be a problem if the computers are delivered on Tuesday rather than tomorrow - in fact I can just drive them out to Upper Hutt if it comes to it. I had already suggested Tuesday as a likely delivery day. Sooner is of course better however. |

| 801403 | 2009-08-16 07:56:00 | Interesting developments. The faulty PC after imaging with the good image didn't boot (same problem) so I swapped the hard drive from the good one. Same problem again. After starting it up in the good PC, I was able to get a fault code from Event Viewer from the failed startup. It's 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, blah blah) which is this (support.microsoft.com), which definitely can relate to hardware / BIOS incompatibilies etc. I will now proceed to update the BIOS and see what happens. |

| 801404 | 2009-08-16 08:56:00 | After updating the BIOS one further PC is running nicely. It appears that this problem may be solved (fingers crossed). Thanks heaps everyone for your help. I will update this thread when all are either finally sorted or if there are more issues. |
