Boot loop
This is getting really frustrating. I built this computer about 7 months ago, so it was a clean install with 7 ultimate 64 bit. The first startup, I experienced this same issue, but I figured out that the controller type wasn't set to AHCI. Since then, the computer has been perfect. A few days ago I came home from work and found my computer doing this same damn boot loop. It gets to the windows splash screen, then just reboots. No BSOD or anything. Everything the bios looks okay to me.. I didn't change anything there. At one point I got the "bootmgr is corrupt" thing, which I was able to resolve but the loop still persists. I don't think it's a hardware such as a hdd or ram issue. I actually was able to boot once, but my video drivers were missing. Restarted to install them, and it was back to square one. The repair tool just tells me it can't repair it, and I've restored it a few times now, with no success.
Any ideass? Could it be the motherboard? I'm running oUt of ideas, and I don't want to wipe everything out.
