Title: Computer not booting after bios?
Post by: kizza1645 on October 27, 2008, 08:58:40 PM

Hello, Recently this morning i turned on my computer and logged in, everything was working all right.
Up until i tried to open some applications, windows explorer froze up, this is the first time this has happened.
So, my instant reaction is to restart explorer, so i did so and explorer didn't restart, it just closed and didn't reopen.
So, i then restarted the computer via the external button. It then restarted, the bios screen poped up, and then it stopped on a black screen after the bios popped up.
Its that screen where there is a white little flashing up the top left hand corner. It stopped there and didn't do anything. I restarted numerous times to get the same result. Finally, on the 5th restart,
it loaded to the logon screen. Now i was wandering why this might have happened? why it didnt boot past bios?
Any ideas? I dont have any viruses, i can comfirm that too....

Have you done something prior to this? installed hardware or software. Was there any error message after your succesfull boot?
