After a motherboard failure, I decided to buy a new one alongside a new CPU. I'm not handy with the nitty gritty that is the specifics of how a computer works. What my problem has become is that I am unable to configure the settings in the BIOS menu properly so that the operating system, Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium that is installed on my Kingston 120GB SSD that was transferred from my previous computer setup, will load.
What happens is that after I turned on the computer:
- The motherboard "splash screen" (?) appeared, with its options
- It detects the storage drive
- It says "Loading operating system..."
- The Windows 7 loading screen starts
- The red and yellow "lights" start to swirl
- Then as soon as the blue "light" appears, it freezes for a split second, then tries the entire boot operation again but instead of the loading screen for Windows appears, it tells me that Windows failed to boot and asks me if I want to load it normally again or to load a repair tool.
This process repeats indefinitely.
By trying to search online for similar problems, I tried to come to the conclusion that "the way the motherboard reads the storage drives" is what might be troubling me. Now what I thought would be the easy solution was to just mimic the way it was in the previous computer, the only problem is that I don't know what that configuration was since it never called my attention in that computer.
What I can't figure out is how to determine what the settings need to be in order to for the computer in its entirety to work properly.
