Quite possibly a hardware issue. Check to see that your hardware is working. E.g. take out all PCI cards, and then try, and if works, install them one-by-one until it stops working. Then you know whats causing the problems. Ive come across the same problem many times during my job, and usually found that it is the modem causing the problem, but thats just from my experience
