Hi there guys!
Well today I'm having a weird issue. After windows 7 hanged while browsing, I rebooted the system, the usual, but after doing that, the is didn't want to boot anymore. Windows XP as the secondary OS didn't boot also.
Trying the repair boot method results in a BSOD, irql_not_less_or_equal and another one more strange, that points to a bad bios. Something about not being ACPI compliant, which is weird, because it's the same.mobo.
My bios here has been acting strange for a while, even with a new battery the hour keeps getting behind. It was working, but today, no more.
I've tried booting different distros and hirens boot CD but as soon as mini xp reaches the graphical interphase, it hangs. The only thing that doesn't hang is easy2boot menu.
I'm suspecting something in the mobo went bad...
What s your opinion?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!!!
