I formatted the hard drive and the computer shut down to restart. I loaded the audio driver and that worked, Then i shut it down for a while to eat. When i restarted it it gave me the above message. I get the following message:
PXE-E23- BIS Inialization failed
PXE-E61- Media Test Failure- Check Cable

Loading boot image failed.
