Disconnect all hard drives or optical drives to see if it does the same thing. If it comes up begging for a system drive, your system hard drive probably has a corrupted boot sector that is redirecting to a restart instead of proceeding with startup.

You need to add a separate graphics card to this unit and disable the on-board graphics. Decide on how much you can afford for a new card and check out tomshardware.com VGA charts to see the best performing video card in your price range. You might also consider a newer machine as this is probably about 5 years old. Whatever machine you get, make sure you do not depend on on-board graphics if you want to do gaming.

Hello, Your touchpad's driver might be outdated that's why it's acting like that. Drivers are small software which make the hardware parts communicate with the operating system. If the drivers get outdated, then it won't function well. You can get the update from the website of your computer's manufacturer. If you want to cover all drivers, then you can scan your computer with RadarSync (www.radarsync.com) so that you will know which drivers are outdated and you can use the same software to update them all. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps!David

upgrade in what sense you can always improve the cpu and memory and some board level components, update firmware, and even fool around with bus speeds, but motherboards have a tendency to be latent and static.

PXE is for network booting, make sure that's not set as the only boot device in your BIOS.
If the BIOS is not seeing the hard drive, make sure to unplug and replug the power and SATA/IDE cables from the drive and the motherboard to make sure they have a good connection. Get very close to the drive at power up and listen. Does it spin up? If not, it's not getting power or it's a dead drive.
If it spins up ok, no ticking, and the BIOS still doesn't see it, try resetting the BIOS back to factory default. Also try different cables and even a different slot on the motherboard. If you have a spare drive, hook it up to the same cables and see if that drive is recognized. If so, it's a drive issue for sure.
