previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint cab1
I have an out of warranty Precision 650 showing "previous attempts at booting this system have failed at checkpoint [cab1]" on POST. Any ideas how to get this thing to boot up?
Thanks.

If you reboot and press F2, can you get into BIOS setup? If you can, copy down all the current settings.
Then try this:
That may clear the error message.
*If battery is more than ~2-3 years old, this might be a good time to install a fresh one.
