January 8, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Is the NIC onboard or is it a separate card, Mike? ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 8, 20168 yr Author I have a USB wireless ethernet adapter here, should I go into safe mode, install that then go into regular mode to test?

January 8, 20168 yr Author The guy said I can take my time with this to troubleshoot so I will work on it again next week, meantime I would like to order a pci graphics card only for testing purposes, I have many here but none low profile to fit this machine. Would this be ok? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Radeon-DMS-59-PCI-e-Low-Profile-Video-Graphics-Card-256MB-/171828123086?hash=item2801c115ce:g:2YUAAOSwHjNV8423
January 8, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Yes, that's a low profile card but I don't think the problem stems from the video card, Mike. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 9, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Have you tried the USB wireless adapter yet, Mike? ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 11, 20168 yr Author I powered up to start working on it again and this time the windows repair completed and all looks fine, so far, I will continue testing until tomorrow to know for sure.
January 11, 20168 yr FPCH Admin Thanks for letting us know, Mike. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
January 12, 20168 yr Author Only glitch I am now seeing is that the pc will restart maybe only once out of every 10 times when it's powered off so the owner is fine with that and took the pc. Main thing is it does not shut off or restart now from being on like before. Appreciate the help guys!
