This just happened out of nowhere. Machine worked great until getting this message. It tries to detect for 35 seconds then restarts. Green board, 2 green lights on 4 red lights on. I can hear the drive spin up. I tried to replace the hard drive with no success. Ideas?

Have you tried a different ribbon cable?
 
No ribbon cable.

No I have not. But why would something like that be fine one day and not work the next? I guess I can try it and let you know.
 
Try flexing the board a little bit, and unplug and replug the ide cable and the power connector. Maybe it's not quite getting enough power to do it's thang.

Are you positive your replacement hard drive is good? All hard drives go bad eventually.
 
Ribbon cable

Replaced the ribbon cable with no success. Are there any dip switch options that would cause this. I don't think I messed with those but maybe I accidentally switched one on or off. Ideas are always appreciated.
 
Power supply?

How do you mean? The power supply fires up and there seems to be power to the board, etc.
 
Power supplies on golden tees are touchy as hell, if there's not enough amperage or whatever it wants sometimes it'll reset, or not recognize the hard drive, etc. Google it.

Have you called incredible technologies? They cold probably tell you in a few minutes what it is.
 
Power supply?

I will Google it. Thanks. I thought about contacting them but I didn't know how much help they would be since this is an old machine that has had several owners, etc. I guess it is worth a try. I got what I thought was a good deal for this machine ($500) from a friend of a friend. Right now it is an expensive cabinet. :) He offered to come take a look but we haven't been able to coordinate yet.
