Hey.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my PC at the moment. It all started when I installed a new version of Windows. After my PC's been on all day (From say 7:30 to 11) I shut it down to go to bed. Now in the morning I boot it up. It goes through all of the memory tests and the IDE tests etc, but when it comes to the "Verifying DMI pool data" it doesn't do anything. When it first started doing it I left it for about 10 minutes and it was still on that screen.
Now to get into Windows I have to go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Before it was CD ROM, HDD. Floppy.
Now they're all disabled so it boots properly. But when I boot it up tomorrow I can almost guarantee that I'll have to change the boot order again.
And ideas of what could be doing this? Cheers.
