Just to let you know, I just installed the new motherboard and it worked! I'm so relieved that I didn't waste $130. BTW, I didn't have to reactivate windows. It booted right up and went right into configuring updates, restarted a couple of times, and then went to my desktop. Thanks again for...

I really appreciate all the help. I'll let you know how I get along.

Yes I have windows 10 on the hard drive now. It was an upgrade so the disc I have is for windows 7.

Hi guys. I upgraded to windows 10 on my build several weeks ago and everything was working flawlessly until about 2 weeks ago, every time I shut down or restarted the computer it wouldn't boot back up. In order to get it to boot I'd have to hold the power button down and turn it off manually...
