LAN cable stopping OS boot, or something...

    Hey all.

    Basically, I decided to go out and buy an ethernet card because my onboard LAN port wasn't working.

    So, I open up my computer, put the card in the free PCI slot above my sound card, bolt the computer back up and I'm greeted with :

    *** LAN CABLE FAIL : Please check Lan cable is connected to Onboard LAN correctly *** (Or something like that)

    I pressed F1 and avioded this, and everything starts loading up and I get half way through Booting up my OS (Windows XP) when the computer suddenly reboots.

    And so I intially decided to disable the onboard LAN in BIOS, which I did.

    And the "LAN cable fail" error is gone but when I tried to boot up the OS it still crashes.

    THEN :

    The LED on the Card is on, so I know its installed properly and It shows up on the Modem as well, but I decided to remove the Ethernet card anyway,
    And I tried both with the Onboard LAN disabled and enabled and It still reboots at the OS loading.

    (So naturally I just put the card back in, because its not making a difference anymore).

    HELP!

    I JUST WANT BROADBAND!! :(

    Advice would be appricated,
    Thanks.
