I cloned the drive, and for some reason it wouldn't boot from the clone. See the bios, see the boot menu, HDD and DVD are recognized/show in the list - then blingo, blank. Sits there forever. At some weird-ass resolution of 87khz. I re-connected the original drive, and now the same thing. Changed boot order to DVD. Same thing. F8 no worky, either.
Unplugged and pulled battery. Disconnected all peripherals. (And re-did bios settings, cos it needs special settings to boot.) Still the same.
Connected a monitor simultaneously to the hdmi port. Same on both monitors.
-- Some later things....
- HDD gets hot
- tried to update bios, and I got a continous beeping, which net source says is memory, but memtest won't load from cd either, so......
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
