NF3500 boot fails

Yesterday I loaded a new OS (win2k3) on an NF3500. The machine has serverraid in raid5.

The OS installs without problem including doing the different reboot cycles during installation.

However, once the install completes and the machine attempts its first boot, it hangs after the Windows splash screen completes.

I can boot it in safe mode and I can boot it in VGA mode. However, even if I change the Video settings to 256 colors, when I attempt to reboot the same problem appears.

I also attempted to load Linux on it with very similar results.

The machine remembers time and date so motherboard battery must be Ok?

Can anyone help?
