New XP computer crash

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I was just putting together a network and still had the desktop showing. As
soon as I attached the crossover cable between the two computers NICS the
screen displays:
hardware malfunction
NMI Parity check/ memory parity error
***the system has halted***

Ctrl-alt-del has no effect cannot do anything
Dell XP system is one day old.
systems now separated, on old 95 system.

SUGGESTIOINS PLEASE leaving as is until I hear.

Looking at Dell, it is the new Dell, groups now and see lots of this
relating to NIC cards.
For now my FIRST question is since how do I get out of this halted system?
Ctrl-alt-del no help
Power down????????

Sorry, too fast on the send button. If the NIC is Dells (came in the system
it will definitely be their problem unless you have a defective crossover
cable. If you have any way to check that I would do so before calling.
Does the NIC show in device manager? In properties, does it indicate any
error messages?
