Computer with bad mobo[edit]

I came across a computer that had a bad motherboard... (memory errors occurred with any ram that i tried)

I'm wondering if that was it.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'if that was it'... the server that refuses to PXE boot has OK ram as far as I can tell, the netboot issue is due to protocol mismatch between old client / new server I think. Details on page. Of the servers I set up before, one physically went missing and one got wiped by someone else.
