rebooting and realtex errors

[Guest]

when i tried to reboot my computer

1) a screen comes up that asks how i want to restart my computer (safe mode,
restart windows normally, etc.)

2) i chose "restart normally." then the screen goes blue and begins 3
stages to check for errors

3) after about 7 minutes, a black screen pops up saying:
For Realtek RTL8130X/8130/810X PCI Fast Eathernet Controller v2.13
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE-Rom

4)there is a blinking curser after all of this, and the last two lines
(PXE...) keep flashing.

I can't even totally restartmy computer. Please help!

The Realtek is your ethernet adapter. It sounds like your computer is
trying to boot Windows from a network boot (PXE). Naturally a home
computer would not be set up this way so of course the boot fails. What
changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? Did
you mess around in the BIOS? What kind of computer do you have -
desktop, laptop, OEM (Dell, Sony, etc.), homebuilt?

it is an HP laptop. i let the computer standby for about 3 hours. then when
i came back, the computer computer had the screen that asked how i wanted to
restart (safe mode, etc.). after that, i let it restart normally; it would
find many errors and fix them. however, it cannot restart.

Call HP tech support. The machine should definitely not be doing this.
Sounds like a hardware component has failed.
