Hey guys, thanks for looking at this today. I have a problem with my computer to where its on a constant BIos loop. Let me explain, I turn it on, bios. I reset it, bios. I cmos it.. bios. I put the default options.. bios again. see where I'm going? It may be a corrupt bios menu? But It worked like, last week.
One thing that did happen was.. maybe before it started happening.. I went to do something in the case and a little shock from my finger hit the computer. that may be the answer? I don't know.. I'm really out of options. If you guys could help that would be phenomenal

Have you updated the bios to a different version

Have you updated the bios to a different version

I don't think I have? I don't remember doing that. I cant update it from my computer since its looping, I have a laptop, can I get the update on a usb and maybe "try" to update it from there?

I found out my bios version, Its 0714, from last year. Yikes, now it says I have to get a cap to rom converter or something. But I don't literally see any CAP. or ROM Files.

UPDATE: I found an older version to update to. It had a cap file so Its now 0804, I will slowly update one version at a time to be safe.
BUT, what do I do aftwards its all updated? Like, reset or something? Cause I don't believe when its up to the right version to support my card or something it will magically stop looping the bios. I hope it does haha.

This thing comes up every time I update to a new version too. Thought I might as well add it

And then It goes into bios and the bios loop starts again.

It might actually be the Hard Drive. Cause That thing has been in there since.. forever. I only have a hdd, and its an old one. And I did set it to load on the hard drive, but it loops again.

do you have any other HDD to check?

 

[Jovan93]

make sure you have default boot set to hdd and boot to disk tray disabled. if you have a disk in your disktray take it out

thats a better idea then to tweak by your self but i guarantee that you just need to pull battery out and in again i had the same problem on old PC it did not wanted to boot up just did everything was back to default settings and it booted up normally
