    Yeah, but if it doesn't boot up you can't check the IP address. Geek.

    I say it's a video driver problem.

    Well updated the BIOS and so far so good. 4 successful restarts in a row with no problems. Going to shut it down and see how it does in the morning when cold.

    Fingers crossed! :D

    It doesn't matter how long you leave a PC down. It'll work right.

    Told y'all freaks.

    Well unfortunately I wasn't so lucky this morning. So if temp. has nothing to do with the problem, then it working 4 times in a row, was just the odds. I reset the BIOS to defaults, cleaned and reseated everything this morning. So will give this a day or two and see how this works.

    Yep, if only it were that easy. Have to reboot in every once in awhile to keep it fresh.
