I will get a similar message only Nvidia Boot agent is mentioned . I
know my harddrive is failing and I think the message is telling me the
Harddrive can not boot .
Can you tell me , just out of interest , because I once associated my
computer problems with the free installation of Linux Xandros Operating
System , have you at any time loaded a Linux program onto your computer
, please .

I have had the message similar to what you have had there with the PXE
and the 2.0 (Build 082) but I have associated it with a poor power
supply beacause electricians have recommended an upgrade to the
electricity in this old house I rent with 2 other people . The
appliances fail and so on .
Poor power supply = not enough power to harddrive = harddrive works
faster to look for data = thingie in harddrive moves up and faster
trying to compensate for lack of data , or similar , I can not say I am
a technician , and so harddrive clicks and harddrive breaks !
Could mean lack of power to harddrive . Have you got any evidence of
not enough power ?
If you haven't I think I can only become paranoid and suggest all
that Boot Agent business and PXE and the (Build082) is a hacking of
some sort because I have had several very unusual things go wrong with
my computer . CheckDisk has removed some things I have researched and
found very little explanation for . The latest bit of excitement has
been a PWSteal.Bankash.C. which if allowed into a computer can steal
passwords , and in its details at Symantec it names the Lloyds Bank ,
I presume that is the London Bank , and other very well known Banks .
It showed up as pHz in my Firewall Exceptions checked as an
Exception .
