So heres the problem. I can't get this bloody computer to boot up. It is my mates old one, but he bought another because of this problem. i thought maybe it was a corrupt HDD but when I attached a different HDD to it with OS it still didn't boot up.

Basically what happens is the POST screen does it's thing and then it comes up press Ctrl + S or F5 to go into RAID options, this comes up twice for some reason, then when I don't press anything the screen goes blank and then it goes back to the POST screen. I am not 100% sure but there seems to be a flash of blue screen before it does this, but happens so quick it is impossible to read.

The blue screen does not resemble a STOP error though, can't be so sure though.

Any suggestions?

Tanks
