I just built this computer about 2 months ago and everything has been running just fine until about 3 days ago. I go to turn my computer on and it goes to a black screen with a little white cursor in the top left hand corner (not a mouse cursor just text). The only way I was able to get into the bios was by hitting the reset power button and then the asus screen appeared.

While in bios I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I went into boot priority and everything was setup normally and the only way I can get windows to start is by going to boot menu and clicking on the hard drive. After that the computer starts just fine and is working fine but when I go to restart the computer, the black screen comes back up.

Any ideas / solutions to fix this issue? I haven't tried resetting the bios to defaults, thinking there may be an easy solution to the problem.
