Well Mine did that at one time (not counting memory). At the same time
the pcmcia controller was dead. Sent in to ezserv and they replaced the
system board. BTW I tried the same thing you did about changing the
booting to harddrive. Mine still counts so thats not it. Go in to diag.
and check your pcmcia controller.
