My pc (Cyberpower i7 Andromeda Infinity, Vista64) seems to be stuck in some sort of loop at start up. Since rebooting my pc this afternoon the following happens:
Starts with the normal small message...
'NVIDIA Geforce....etc' (Can never catch what it says. Its too quick and is partially obscured by a monitor pop up (Which is normal. Also mentions VGA bios)
Then a new black screen with...
'Award Bootblock V1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software. inc
Scanning Bios image in hard drive...' Whilst also attempting to access the DVD drive (green light is on).
Then it restarts and goes through the process again.
This goes on until i hold down the power button and turn it off (which makes me cringe!).
Checked inside the casing and everything's still connected as far as i can tell.
Been searching around and apparently this seems to be something to do with the BIOS and is a common problem with GIGABYTE motherboards, which i have.
Sorry if the info I'm giving is a bit vague, but this is totally new to me. Posted on the Cyberpower forums but so far no replies. Any ideas?
