| 1306303 | 2012-10-10 20:07:00 | My computer just went out and left me with a message on a black screen saying “Reboot and Select Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a Key” So I put my Windows 7 disk in and it wants me to re-install or load the divers and I don’t know what drivers it wants. Help? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1306304 | 2012-10-10 20:18:00 | Check the BIOS and make sure the hdd is the boot disk. Then save settings. Then see what happens Is anything else plugged in?? Like a flash drive / ext hdd? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1306306 | 2012-10-10 20:54:00 | Go into the BIOS and make sure the bootdisk is the hdd / C. Then save settings. Then it should load straight into windows. Without pressing F8 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1306307 | 2012-10-10 21:27:00 | I went into my BIOS and the Drives got switch around so I put them back where the boot drive will be 1st and the data drive will be 2nd. I don't know how they got switch but it looks like a BIOS problem instead of a Hard Drive problem but don't know just my guess. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1306308 | 2012-10-10 21:27:00 | What Speedy mentioned about USB devices is important also, often leaving something plugged in can mess up the boot sequence. My friends wifes PC does this if she leaves her smartphone plugged in for charging and tries to boot up. | dugimodo (138) | ||

| 1306310 | 2012-10-11 01:32:00 | I have a lot of things plug into my USB ports and I don't think that is the problem and here is why: I have a Crucial SSD 64 Gig SATA 3 for my main drive, took my data drive off, The BOIS says my SSD C Drive is the first boot, after about 30 minutes of sitting in Windows 7 it crashes and I get the message that is in my first post. I have to turn off my computer and wait for about 10 seconds before I can reboot. By re-booting will only get it stuck on boot. I can't check my Crucial SSD drive because Crucial tech support told me they don't have software to do that like WD. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do? |

| 1306311 | 2012-10-11 17:21:00 | My OS was a fresh install 19 months ago when I built the computer. What I did this morning was disconnect all USB's except my keyboard and mouse and again it crashed. I'm thinking the CPU might have gotten over heated because AMD is good for that. So now I put in a another hard drive that I zero out and I'm putting the OS on it and see if it crashes and if it does then it's got to be my BIOS, or CPU because I don't think RAM or the Video card will act like this. Does anyone know how to edit your post? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
