I have an HP XW6000 that is getting this error when I try to go into
the BIOS. Then it does the F1 to Save Changes - and I hit that. It
reboots, I briefly see the post screen and then nothing. Black screen,
no activity. This machine has one 36gb SCSI drive. I would be happy
to provide any other information if someone was willing to help me.

Replaced the CMOS battery - nothing
Swapped video cards - nothing
Swapped Hard Drive - nothing
Swapped Memory - nothing

I think it's the MB.

does your rig have a pc health area? what does the 5 & 12 v read? if not can you get hold of a digital multimeter?
