My windows 10 system went to 'sleep' and never came out. It's done this in the past and all you can do is power it down and restart. However, this time, I got a 'Bad Checksum' error and it said it would restore from something. It then restarted and went into an endless loop of rebooting. I tried to 'clear cmos' button on the back, and it made no difference aside from getting to a screen where it says it will load last profile or something. Then it hangs up at DMI Pool data. It never goes past that.

I removed the battery for 10 minutes. Nothing changed. I tried again to clear teh CMOS, no luck.

What do I do? Is the board toast or what?

I cannot Qflash it because it says the file size is too big. I can't @bios it because I can't get to windows. What a pile of [censored].

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I need to find a solution to this pretty soon. I tried to restore defaults. Didn't help.

It is hanging after going through "verifying DMI pool data". I unplugged all hard drives to troubleshoot. It never gets past that point.

I need more advice.

I have some new info. I have Lubuntu, and with that you can boot to it and run an OS from the CD. Anyway, I disconnected all of the hard drives, except for one. The difference is that this time, I disconnected teh MAIN hard drive that it boots to Windows from. It booted to CD without a problem. So what does this mean? Hard drive is trashed?

The short test from seagate tools passed. Since my bios reset, is there a setting I need to set for it to use this 3tb drive? Its loaded to defaults now. Access mode is set to auto. The tools can see the drive. It can put it idle and spin it up. But, DMI Pool hangs. I wonder if there is someting in the bios that windows10 needs.
