It sounds like you're getting a BSOD, system restarts, and then you come across a black screen that asks that question. If I'm picturing it correctly, then you should be able to see that blue screen if you press F8 as soon as you complete POST, and select "Disable automatic restart upon...

Hi Ibe, I'll try to help you out but I desperately need some more details. When you say you go through all sorts of problems...can you specify "sorts of problems?" Do you have to like hold the mouse buttons while pressing 1,2,3,4 and then 3 seconds later turn on the power button? (stupid...

Log in to the administrator account. Locate the program you are trying to access. Right click the program folder and go to "Security" tab, click Edit Add your "owner" login account and give it whatever access you want...read/write/or even full control. As for the security guidelines, I find...

Hi Zimmer, First, I would recommend you upgrade your memory to 4gb. You are not fully utilizing the capability of your 64-bit operating system without having 4gigs of ram. Simply, you don't need a 64-bit version if you have less than 4gb of ram. When the computer BSODs, it will dump the...

Hi Jacob, I take it you are trying to install Windows 7 on a brand new system. The hard drive is brand new too, correct? I'm not sure what your various resources are but getting that hard drive checked out would be a good move. If you have another working station, which I assume you do...

This is the first time I've encountered such an issue, but the second NTFS boot sector is actually a backup of your boot sector. It apparently got corrupted. I do have a couple of questions though. You said this is a newer system and the hard drive was transferred from the old computer to the...

Great to hear, Angkor! Quite honestly, those Event Viewer errors could be a direct result from a flaky BIOS. Now that you flashed the BIOS and it appears to have resolved the issue, I am assuming that those errors you see in Eventvwr will self-resolve. I wouldn't worry too much about it...

Thanks for your appreciation, Angkor! It means a lot. I am trying to take my knowledge and training to the next level so things like this will prove useful. I hope you'll be able to resolve it soon. P.S. For flashing the BIOS, you should be able to burn the ISO (I'm assuming) image onto a...

Although it's a simple question the answer is quite complicated and it's all speculation. For example, if your issue concerns with a corrupted entry in the registry. Windows may or may not sometimes try to load that entry. My technical knowledge is not strong enough to understand what exactly...

Ah, wells that sucks. I guess the remaining things are to flash the BIOS, try running a registry software cleaner (CCleaner...I've seen people used it but I haven't tried it), and yes...formatting which you don't have the time for. If it persists even through diagnostic start-up, I'm afraid...

Which service or driver did it start doing that or did you mean it even did that on diagnostic startup? If so, then yes I would say flashing the BIOS would be the next thing. If it still does that, then you are already aware of the next step.

Hi, I'll try to put in some input as well. As others have mentioned, it could be a few things: services, drivers, start-up programs, etc (if it's software). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any input on hardware tests. I'll start off with hardware checks then we can move onto more...

Not a problem. I'm glad you're able to resolve it! If it occurs again, it might not be a bad idea to flash the BIOS. It's kinda silly for a company as good as Gigabyte to release a motherboard that doesn't work properly unless you disable one of their features. I'm certain they have an...
