    PXE e53: no boot file name received
    PXE mof: exiting Nvidia boot agent.

    Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

    Nvidia chipset i'm guessing.

    It looks like you're trying to boot from your network card, which obviously won't work if you've got no PXE / not in a large network etc.

    I'd say go into your BIOS - and check your boot device priority, make sure your network card isn't listed in it, have only your HDD and CD-ROM

    Also, look for anything that mentions Nvidia boot agent inside of it, if it's on - switch that off also

    See if that does anything

    I just did what you said apexes I disabled the nvidia boot agent and kept the HDD and CD-ROM on, it booted to the normal screen but then froze and crashed and went back to doing the same thing.

    hmm, somethings not right.

    Try your HDD in another machine and see if it boots up, most likely by the sounds of it you may need to reinstall your OS
