I came back home last night, found my network connection was out.
Reset the router, wait a few. Nothing. Reboot.
Get stuck on "Windows is starting..." screen. Reboot, safe mode boot logging.
Locks up on DRIVERS\CLASSPNP.SYS when trying to boot safe mode with network or with bootlogging, boots just fine in no-network safe mode.
After trying to use different hard drives, I ended up installing Win7x64 on a 80gb HDD I had laying around. (Note: I installed it on a MBR drive, while my main is GPT. Maybe this has something to do with it.) It freezes on the last steps after rebooting.
Take out main drive, leave the 80gb, try to boot from linux CD. Error code.
One long, three short, a short pause and then one short.
Changing the RAM has done nothing. (There is a checklist for troubleshooting ram, I've done it, consider this.)
At this point, I am unsure if there was an escalating in the problems or if they are not related.
Is my motherboard faulty?
