Repeated system crashes, boot mgr missing no OS installed.
First off, i am a tad computer illiterate. I have a Gateway gaming desktop computer model fx6831.
For about three weeks now, my computer has been having this issue. I would play a game, the screen would freeze with colors going all meshed (horizontal color lines) and need to restart. Once restarted, i get the reboot and select proper boot device repeating message. Using a windows 7 re-installation cd i have fixed this problem 3 times; my pc works for a few days then crashes again. Last time it restarted while idle next to me (no gameplay), and i thought i saw a blue screen (may have been BSOD) before restart. I have done a couple virus scans (norton and malwarebytes) but nothing. If it is a virus it may be more deeply embedded. Are there any possible causes or fixes to this ongoing problem?
