This is also a common problem with most early BIOSs, having been factory set
to "Halt on all Errors" at least now the factory standard is "Halt on all
Errors Except keyboard" much handier, you can wait the ten mins for windows
to load before realising the box is useless, you cant control it, and you
cant even telnet or ssh into it and shut it down gracefully ;)
