Could be your Hard Disk on it's way out?! It does happen some times, even with brand new ones. Other than that, have you changed any .ini setting that could have messed it up?
Does it boot ok from a boot disk instead of the HDD?
If i were you I would try using a different bios, maybe that latest EvoX.

It might be the hard disk, I work in IT and so get to fix loads of computers, unfortunately HDD's are either gonna run forever or die an untimely death.
Out of a question, what is the LPC chip?

Not 100% sure if it is that if you say the MS dash boots fine.
It could be a corruption in your INI file or the HDD key file?
Do you have a back you could put on??

It might not have been you, it could have been an app, crash, anything dodgy.
It MAY be bad sectors on the disk where the EvoX lives that is causing it.
Good luck with it!

Can you get into it via FTP?
If you can backup everything then do that, but keep any old backups.
I would then create a boot disk, update to the newest bios, update to the newest dashboard and flatten the disk (format it and start again) then put everything back.
Not a quick or easy task, but that is what I would try.

This is sound like a dodgy disk again. I've got to go home now as I've had enough of work. I will PM you my e-mail address if you want any help I'll advise what I can.
Cheers
