Have you tried moving the NIC (Network card) to another slot? Be sure to remove it from the control panel "system" icon before you do so. Also, you might just want to yank one of your Memory SIMMs and try again. If you can boot dos by using the F8 key during the boot and get the C: drive, you can goto the Windows folder (directory) then modify your system.ini file: look for the shell=explorer.exe change the "explorer.exe" to "winfile.exe". Reboot the PC, if it starts fine (although looks like Windows 3.11) I'd say your memory is ok. Dont' forget to change the shell= line back to explorer.exe before you move on to other testing. Note: I have seen a "semi-faulty" CPU cause this error.
