    When i turn on my comp it goes to the second screen which is the winfast screen and just stays there. It says hit tab for post screen or del for setup i hit both and it does nothing. One time after waiting a while it just went then i had to shut it off and when i turned it back on it didnt work.

    Strip the system down to bare-bones, just a power supply, motherboard, minimum RAM, CPU and heat sink, and video adapter. Does it still freeze
