    Hey all,

    New to boards, So hopefully I'm posting this in the right place..

    Anyways, Roughly two to three months ago I got a BSOD, PC restarted itself, I'm then greeted by a black screen ( I've been getting this on every start up ever since )

    It displays: "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Series v2.43 (06/25/11)"

    Products covered by patents, My client "MAC ADDR", "GUID" followed by "DHCP" with fullstops and a spinning "/"

    eg: ". . . /"

    After 2 to 3 minutes it forwards me to my login screen

    PC runs like there's nothing wrong with it, It's just a nuisance to deal with on every start up

    Help would be greatly appreciated,

    Paul

    It's trying to PXE boot from the network card.


    Go into the BIOS / Setup and change the boot order.
