Bios hang on boot
Hi,
I installed a copy of win 7 pro on a older hard drive with ahci enabled after about 3 hours (I check on it as it was doing windows update and must have rebooted) hung on the bios screen so I hit del key to go into the bios and it had hung jest before searching the Sata devices (Sata ports in ahci mode) so I left it for a day after doing some research I tryed a cmos jumper reset and was going to install windows with the (Sata ports in ide mode)
Note: The system does have a Sata DVD rom in it.
I am thinking that if I replace the hard drive with a brand new one that will fix the issues thoughts?
(I am thinking the drive may be on a edge of complete failure or something like that)
Thanks,
Nathan Saunders
