I solved this completely, must have been some sort of incompatibility in BIOS. Once I updated the BIOS to the latest version available, it worked like a charm.

Hi, This is a new build involving some new and second hand parts, which is having a problem getting past the motherboard splash screen. It seems to be an issue with the graphics card, because when I plug in using the onboard graphics it has no problems at all. Components are MB: Gigabyte...

Thanks Amy but that's not really going to help me recover the data. To anyone else reading this, I spent many hours scouring the internet and forums for potential solutions, and I'm convinced its just not possible. Windows RT is too restrictive, no 3rd party programs can be installed, there's...

I have 2 Samsung HD204UI 2TB dives together in an external enclosure that have both died. I've taken them out and tried to connect them to the computer separately, and neither will spin up when the power is plugged in. So I'm assuming there's been a power issue with the PCB, and have been doing...
