Launch a second network scan session without closing the first one, and see if the machine shows up.
When it finishes, plug the machine back in and boot it up. I would unplug the machine from the network, then do a network scan (Angry IP Scanner, Netscan, or similar). I would suggest reseating the CPU itself, and I would take a flashlightĪnd examine the motherboard carefully to see if there is somethingīlown, or perhaps a stray staple is shorting something out.
