My friend's PC (MSI 970A-G43 mobo, WD Blue 1 tb HDD, windows 7) cannot get past the "Starting Windows" screen. It freezes, then the monitor loses signal input, then we are prompted to enter the BIOS.
The boot device priority order in the BIOS is set correctly, with the HDD first.
We tried unplugging and replugging the SATA and power cables, and used different cables to no avail. We don't have an extra HDD to swap out for troubleshooting.
