Busterbvi Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Greetings. A fairly new build and been working great, now suddenly it wont boot up properly, I get the MS logo briefly then a blank screen, it does not get as far as the happy beep when the BIOS hands off to the OS. Any thoughts on this chaps ? Thanks, Buster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Disconnect any external devices that aren't needed right away (i.e. USB, eSATA, port multipliers etc.) Try to boot. If boot fails, try to boot to Windows in safe mode. If boot fails, grab the appropriate disk management / test software for the disk drive that houses your OS and see if there are any errors. Report findings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hove131 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Make a windows repair disc or try to repair the mbr from safe mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterbvi Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 OK, a bit of an overdue update ( not had time to deal with it ) Tried all the suggestions above, no luck, re seated the GPU & RAM. Checked all SSD & MOBO connections, all seemed fine. I can report a slight improvement, I now get the happy beep during the MS logo but it still looks like the BIOS is not handing off to the OS. I would do a non destructive re install of the OS but I don't think it can be done in safe mode ? Any advice chaps ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 The fact that the PC will boot in safe mode still makes me think that this is a hardware, driver or OS issue. Is everything in the BIOS set to factory defaults? Are you running the latest BIOS revision for your motherboard? Have you disconnected all external devices (at least until you can confirm a clean boot?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Just boot from the windows disk or flash drive and do a repair instead of a reinstall. If it is an os problem that should fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterbvi Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Done that Spike, no problems found, even run Scannow in command prompt, nothing found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil69 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I just had similar a problem that I solved by removing my video card and booting using the on board chip. After installing the correct drivers I'm up and running. It might work for you. Edited September 10, 2015 by phil69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busterbvi Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks phil69, that fixed it !!, pulled the GPU and plugged the monitor into the MOBO, now back up and running. So that eliminates a corrupt OS or the SSD it lives on so I looks like my trusty ole 580 is toast ? What do you you chaps think ?
