Hi all,

I bought my SGI OCTANE workstation a few years
ago. Six months after I had gotten the computer I experienced some
problems. First it froze and then it would not reboot giving me some
error messages after the Power-on diagnostics menu. A few months ago I
tried to reboot it but it either freezes and has a LED with a solid
white light on or a blinking red light and rarely gets to the power-on
menu after the boot tune. I would like to revive my OCTANE workstation
for I really love this machine. I attached a few pictures I took when I
had the opportunity to get to the stage of receiving a response from
my monitor. Can you please give me some suggestions of the nature of
the problem and how to solve it. I think my system board is not
working. They say it is the weakest part of every OCTANE workstation.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much for
your help.

Cheers
Iordan
