Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can help me with a genuinely odd problem, that I don't seem able to solve.
This morning my PC froze, so I reset it. It kept booting to the BIOS screen, so I figured perhaps the overclock was causing it some bother. I reset to defaults, but it perisisted.
The boot menu in the BIOS did look a bit odd, as it kept putting 'removable device' as first boot device. So I selected my SSD to the first boot position, but this didn't work either. Then, purely by accident, I noticed that after booting to the BIOS, if I simply pressed exit (not SAVE and exit), it will then boot quite happily into windows??! Unfortunatey for some reason I can't even access the separate boot menu, as if I hit F8 to try and get to it just loads the BIOS screen.
I removed any USB connections other than my mouse and keyboard, in case my external drive was causing issues. But still not solved. I reset the CMOS, and after boot selected 'load defaults', and it booted straight away to windows. But then when I reset it, straight back to BIOS again.
Any ideas what could be causing this??
Thanks.
