Different Type of "Startup.nsh" Issue

[Coltontb20]

Hey guys! I've been using my computer like normal with no problems whatsoever for a couple of months, but about 2 days ago, randomly out of nowhere when I turned on the monitor in the morning I saw the dreadful startup.nsh error. It also say's Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, or any other key to continue". Nothing happens when I try pressing ESC or any other key! So I obviously looked up potential fixes and people said change the sata data cable, move to another sata data port, dadada, and it didn't fix it! So I decided to unplug the one HDD I have completely to see if that may be the problem, and it gave the same error. So I'm assuming its something with the HDD. Then I plugged it back in and tried doing the same things again multiple times and randomly it booted up! But when I got past the splash screen in Windows 8.1 to type in my password, it froze. So I let it sit there for 10 minutes to see if it would unfreeze, and nothing. I restarted the PC and again, startup.nsh -__-......... Anyone have any ideas what to do!?

I am concerned that your HDD may have died. You need to try and access the drive in another system, or via an external SATA to USB with powered adapter kit.

Okay I put it on an external HDD and it's opening on my Laptop

Remount the hard drive in the laptop. If it has more than one stick of RAM, take out the others, and start it with only one to see if it is a RAM issue.

okay so how do I remount it? and I only have one stick of Corsair Vengeance 8GB. So I'll do that right now and move it to another DIMM

Just reinstall the hard drive the opposite of how you took it out. It needs to plug into the SATA and power port.

Or not. I left it on for a few hours and not using it, then I came back and it came up with the error in this picture.

So I turned it off and turned it back on, and again...

This relates to startup.nsh

It looks like it is a motherboard issue.
