Here is what I have. Alienware Aurora R4 with Win 7 installed. Had a virus of some sort a two weeks ago or more. Ran my Lavasoft and Norton which seemed to take care of my issues but in the last few days I have had problems watching video's and downloading almost everything. The videos will start fine and last for about 8 seconds. You can see the bar moving like it is still playing yet I hear and see nothing. YouTube videos started to turn green at about 8 seconds in.
I tried reinstalling flash player, shockwave and updating my graphics driver (which I found has an update which needs to be installed), all of which fail for a NSIS warning saying that it is either corrupted or it's integrity check has failed. I have a Win 7 repair disc that I made the first week I received this computer.
Which brings me to...
I cannot seem to get into my bios to change my boot sequence to start up from my disc drive. I have tried to press every key I could think have found throughout Google. I unhooked my Bluetooth keyboard and I am using a wired keyboard. I have even taken out both of my hard discs in an attempt to force a bios startup. If I hit the F2 key or remove my hard discs my screen just stays black with my monitor in standby mode. With the hard discs connected and me pressing F2 every two seconds or so the screen will stay black and I have found that if I press the escape key and enter it will boot up to the Windows login screen moments later. I know something is happening I just don't see it. I never see anything before Windows boots up and never have, meaning my screen is black and about the time you hear the windows sound on my speakers my monitor comes to life with the account selection for Windows 7.
I am at a loss here and I am at best a weekend warrior when it comes to computer's. Please and thank you for any and all responses.
