An inability to get a response from a DHCP server won't cause a
failure to boot, so I wouldn't be looking at the router, especially
since it seems to be working fine with the other computers. I think
the problem lies squarely with the main computer.
On the main computer, disable the 'automatically restart after system
failure' function so you can see what's going on. Also, check Device
Manager for any hardware issues, especially in the area of the network
adapter. Lastly, copy and paste the relevant information from the
event viewer so we can see what's going on.
