Re: system will not boot

ouch. doesn't look good does it

A couple of things you could do.

Run the MemTest. That should rule out that it's not a memory chip gone wacky at least. I doubt that will really give you anything but worth a shot.

Right there seems to be the main problem, at least to me. Need to find out what device that is that is failing. If you have another computer and you can ssh into the problem box then we can find that out.

If you have a linux box, you probably have SSH built into it. If you have a Windows box and can access the problem Linux box, you can use PuTTy.

The command to find the problem device is :

lspci | grep 01:00

This will tell you what the problem device is. Video Card, NIC, whatever. Switching it out might just do the trick.
