I got someone to build my PC for me, and also install Windows onto it. It worked but after about a month it randomly messed up so I removed my graphics card and took out the CMOS battery. The GPU is still out. When I turn on my PC it goes into the splash screen and then reboots the whole computer in a loop. I am able to get into the BIOS. The mobo also gives me a A2 error which means IDE Detect. Any ideas?
Edit: I also forgot to mention that I believe the problem is coming from my HDD, when I disconnect it, it doesn't go into a boot loop.
