Hi Steve!

Wow! I didn't think anyone else (besides me) had one of those...
That error is related to hardware, one of your cards or devices is not "seated" properly or connected completely.
Make sure that the machine is unplugged, and open that big boy up and check the cards and connectors and be sure they are all firmly seated into the motherboard etc. Then try again.
Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
