elitedesk 800 mini
Other

I have several Elitedesk 800 minis ranging from G3 to G5 for a small lab, running either ESXi or Proxmox. I was attempting to boot from a thumbdrive to install ESXi on one of the G5s and noticed that when I attempted to load the boot menu(F9) I would get this old BIOS looking screen that would just say Drivers and appears to show info regarding the Intel NIC controller. It does this whether I hit F9/F10/F2/Esc from startup. I thought it was a BIOS issue(I guess it still could be). I have removed the drives, moved the SODIMMs from one slot to the other and even replaced the proc. This morning I was attempting to load ESXi on another one of the machines and now it's doing the same thing. If I do not attempt to press anything and just let it boot it will still load the OS. This one is a G4 with an i7-8700. The G5 has an i7-9700. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm quickly running out of ideas 🙂 Thanks!
