    Computer won't re-boot after shut down


    I can get my computer booted only after clearing the bios with the jumper and renewing the BOS settings. Then when it is powered down it won't complete a bootup. It will POST and complete memory test but then won't seek the OS to boot Win 7. This has just started a few days after upgrading Vista to Win 7 Home Premium but I'm suspecting hardware problems rather than software.........but I'm at a loss as to what to do. Help please! This computer is 4 years old and had rarely had problems of any kind.

    I suggest running some hardware diagnostics via a boot disk like Ultimate Boot CD.

    First try memory, then try hard drive.

    Since it won't boot I can't change the boot priority and I tried running the Spotmau bootdisk but it wouldn't run. Will the Ultimate Boot CD run when starting the computer?

During the night my virus scan, automatic backup, defrag run. I have the system set on Hybrid Sleep because with sleep mode they do not run. My computer stays on all of the time except for hybrid sleep. Do any of you turn yours off or is it OK just to leave it on 24/7?
