    If you wait about 45 seconds it will go ahead and open windows but if you hit a key this is what you get. It will run thru that process then open windows

    From what I've researched the only thing I can think of is PCI Card but then again I'm no Tech:)

    Thanks for help,

    scroll down to Network Boot ROM
    the second line in your imgur photo shows PXE. That has to do with trying to boot from a network.

    You might be able to go into the BIOS and disable boot from network option.
    I saw this for ASUS boards
    You need to look around the settings in your BIOS.

    Didn't have any luck finding exactly what you referred me to.

    I viewed these settings, anything here that might help?
