(SOLVED) Can't get past "Loading operating system" (please try to help)

[RobbetM]

I was using my computer all day and when i got back from taking a shower i found my computer on the "loading operating system" screen. I restarted my computer and now it seems my usb ports don't work and it cannot get past the loading operating system screen. I also noticed that the loading operating system text takes a little longer to pop up than it always has and there are no different sounding beeps, the ethernet light is also lighting up. My theory is that either the chipset has gone bad in my motherboard, or my SSD could have failed. Ive been trying to fix this for a while and i just cannot do it, any help is appreciated.



Motherboard: gigabyte GA-970a-D3
CPU: AMD fx 8350 black edition
PSU: Corsair 750 watt
RAM: Corsiar vengeance 2x8
SSD: OCZ agility 64 gb (not sure but definitely around 64gb)
GPU: gigabyte radeon 7950 3gb
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional

Did you overclocked?

 

[RobbetM]

Nope, stock over clocking

something happened. it needed to repair itself and you didn't let it. if it comes up again, let the machine run........ over night if that's what it takes. otherwise do a reformat now and save time. you may end up needing to do it anyways............. go a rescue disc by any chance?

 

[RobbetM]

I wasnt in the room when all of this happened, the computer didnt have a repair disk screen it was simply the loading operating system screen that ive seen for years, and no i do not have a disk

 

[iamlegend]

Lol, what a comment. You did not even figured out the problem yet you have gone into the conclusion.

Btw, do you know how to boot in safe mode?

 

[RobbetM]

I do but my usb ports aren't working....

 

[iamlegend]

That means you cannot use the keyboard right?
Do you have discrete GPU? If you have, try to remove it and plug the VGA connector into the motherboard.

BTW, if you are using USB 3 slots for your keyboard try to plug it in the USB 2 slots and check if it`s working.

 

[RobbetM]

My mobo doesnt have a vga port built in, ive already put another gpu in and the computer still didnt get past loading OS.
Putting my keyboard into 2.0 slot changes nothing

 

[iamlegend]

What do you mean by "my motherboard don`t have VGA port?" where do you plug in your monitor?

Remove the discrete GPU (or the external GPU).
What I mean by plugging in USB 2 is to check if the keyboard runs when your boot so that you can go into safe mode.

 

[RobbetM]

Did this, still one beep and keyboard still didnt work

 

[iamlegend]

Did you connect the Monitor into the Mobo? and removed the GPU?
Also try to reset using the reset button not the power button.

 

[swifty_morgan]

what opsys? W7?

that small ssd. wonder if it has room to do anything?

 

[RobbetM]

My mobo doesnt have a built in display port.. You HAVE to have a graphics card in it to connect it to a monitor, i just hit the reset button and the problem persists.

 

[RobbetM]

The os is windows 8.1 Professional

 

[swifty_morgan]

wonder if you can get a rescue disc on line? kaperski used to have something of that order. and you used to be able to make one off your opsys.

 

[RobbetM]

Thats kind of impossible since my computer is momentarily dead

 

[iamlegend]

Is there a mobo that don`t have display port? That is interesting.
There are 2 VGA ports in your mobo man. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4395#ov

 

[RobbetM]

I dont see any built in....

 

[RobbetM]

There are two slots of which i can put a graphic card into to make it displayable

 

[iamlegend]

So, if your Mobo don`t have a VGA port or HDMI port (which you can connect your monitor) your GPU is still installed in your Mobo.

Which in the 1st place I recommend you to remove? Is this correct?

 

[RobbetM]

I removed it.. Yeah, then my screen was black and i couldnt see anyhting going on, still none of the usb slots worked with it removed including the keyboard

 

[iamlegend]

So, you can`t connect the Monitor in your Mobo right?
Your monitor is black because you did not connect it into Mobo or GPU so there will be no display available.

Do you have HDMI connector so that you can connect the monitor into your Mobo?

 

[RobbetM]

There are 0 display ports built into this mobo. Only pci slots for cards

 

[RobbetM]

I always use hdmi, but thats not on the mobo just the card
