    Hi there.
    I downloaded the latest bios for my MX17X R2m because sometimes I got the BSOD, unless I uninstall the video card drivers, reinstalled them. Then I ran the latest Bios installer.
    Still having the restart from sleep issue.
    Read that if I used boot from Thumb Dive that has the downloaded Bios. Restart and F12, choosing the USB. Should fix it.
    But I keep getting the following:

    PXE-E61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE, CHECK CABLE
    PXE-M0F: EXITING INTEL BOOT AGENT
    OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
