Martell1977 :
I did the command prompt repair of the MBR, then reinstalled Windows over the other. Windows was corrupted and just endlessly blue-screened, so i had to reinstall. I did set the BIOS to factory default and nothing changed.
The BIOS are out of date, but not sure if I should in case they are corrupted as well.
This is not the first time this machine has had MBR issues, think the HDD could be bad or going bad?
What I would recommend trying first is a fresh install. When installing Windows 10 click on the "Custom: Install Windows Only. (Advanced) button. After that, you will see the partition screen.
Make sure (All) drives except for the OS drive are disconnected before doing this.
Next you will see the partition screen...If you have any other partitions you need to be careful here not to delete the wrong partition. If it's the OS only, and you don't need anything on the drive, I recommend deleting ALL partitions, and then they will merge into one single partition. This will delete the MBR as well which is good.
Don't worry about clicking on format, or new...After the partitions are deleted, and you only see one partition just click on Next.
Keep in mind if you had a partition with files, music, movies...You only want to delete the primary partition. If it's an OS only drive, delete all partitions...After this give it a shot, and get back to me...
Giving the Bios an update is a good thing as well, after your finished with Windows...
