    Computer does not boot up sometimes


    Hello!

    I was wondering if someone can help me with my problem. I installed Win 7 Pro as a second OS (I also have Win XP Pro). The two are on two separate hard drives. However, my computer does not boot up sometimes. When I press restart, a lot of the times it wont go past the first screen that has a picture of my motherboard and shows BIOS options. Then if I force it to shut down (by holding on/off button), give it about 5 secs to rest and turn it on, then it will start. This problem started after I installed Win 7. Its completely up to date. I don't know what to do. Please HELP!!!

    Do you have the latest BIOS update?

    Try resetting the CMOS: Clear CMOS - 3 Ways to Clear the CMOS - Reset BIOS

    Remove all listings from the BIOS boot order except for HD. Use BIOS one-time Boot Menu to boot DVD/CD.

    Check your cables and connections.

    Test your RAM using memtest86 for 5-6 passes, then your HD using maker's diagnostics/repair extended CD scan: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Please post back a screenshot of your maximized full Disk Mgmt drive map with listings, using Snipping TOol in Start Menu.

After turning on the computer, it goes into a cycle pattern of trying boot up, but is not successful. Could this be a problem finding the MBR? If so, can it be fixed without wiping out all the data?:huh:
