Right I think this may be a Motherboard problem but would like the opinion of others.
Basically my computer was working fine, I shut it down before going to sleep. In the morning I hit power, it gets to the Motherboard Splash Screen and just Locks Up there untill you switch it off or restart (see pic below)
I've restarted too many times to count and it does the same thing every time.
So far It's had new Memory, Graphics Card and HDD (wanted to upgrade anyway so was a good excuse
) and it's made no difference, it still locks up at the same spot
If I unplug it from the wall for a while so All the power is drained out of it and then plug it back in and try it again, it takes me to the BIOS Setup Menus and I can change everything fine, it doesn't lock up yet, go to Save & Exit, it restarts and actually gets to the Windows log in screen and I manage to log in but then it has a '1's and 0's Fart' and locks up again, hit restart and it's back to locking up at the Motherboard Splash Screen pictured above.
