Hi,
I have failed to solve this problem over the last three days and don't see myself fixing it any time soon without help.
I just got this PC from a member of the family, and it had a better processor and hard drive than my last PC so I switched to it. I also put my 560ti inside it, as well as my 700W PSU.
So it worked great for the first day, and the next day I reset the BIOS without realizing. My hard drive is meant to be set to AHCI, but the default is IDE. I didn't know this, so I tried booting normally and got a BSOD. I didn't know why so I let startup repair have a go, annd it failed to do anything.
Well I say it failed to do anything, it actually seems to have caused this problem.
If I turn it on, I see the BIOS splash screen, and that is it.
If I try to enter settings, I see the POST screen, and that is it.
If I reset the CMOS / remove the battery, it will allow me to configure the bios settings or boot with default values. Booting doesn't work, as it needs to be set to AHCI, and if I adjust the settings, and save and reset, it just sticks on the splash screen again.
What I have already tried:
- Putting in new RAM
- Disconnecting HDD
- Disconnecting DVD Drive
- Disconnecting pretty much everything
- New CMOS battery
- Tested HDD in another computer
The really weird thing is, for some reason yesterday, it randomly worked for one boot, but as soon as I restarted, the same problem occurred.
I have tried updating the bios, as mine is quite an old version, through a usb drive, but this failed as apparently the one I downloaded wasn't compatible. My motherboard is a P7H55-M Si and the one I downloaded from ASUS was just a P7H55-M.
PLEASE HELP! Any advice is appreciated. I really don't know what to do!
Thanks
