1287225 2012-07-09 04:39:00 Hey there, ever since that 7.0 earthquake my
PC has been having some startup problems. It wont load past the gigabyte motheboard logo screen. It has been temporarily fixed by unplugging the computer from the wall and leaving it for a few mins before turning it back on. However this doesnt seem to work anymore. Does anyone know what might have caused this?
Thanks

1287227 2012-07-09 06:06:00 Try leaving it unplugged for 20 minutes. Paul.Cov (425)
1287228 2012-07-09 06:39:00 Sweet i just double checked and everything is plugged in correctly.
The computer works ok now that i've left it unplugged for over an hour lol. Not too sure what will happen next time though.

This is the screen its stuck on, incase it helps.

1287232 2012-07-09 08:27:00 press tab, look for any errors. holding pause should stop it where it's at if it flicks past too quick.
Also, unplug it and press teh power button a few times, and let it sit. Could be some sort of residual power issue.

1287233 2012-08-07 10:46:00 Sorry to bring up an old post, but the issue is still lingering. I have now concluded that it occurs randomly. Not every startup, maybe like 1 in every 5 or 10 start ups.
I've disabled the logo screen and happened to take pics of where it hangs during startup. Hope these help!

This is during normal startup

And this is the bit where it hangs, forcing me to restart.
