hi and thank you for any help... when i try to turn my computer on, it locks up on the screen which displays my MB maker; the same screen that shows POST/BIOS log in options. i cannot enter into the BIOS settings by pressing delete at this point. the computer will sit here forever, so i have to restart it. i hold the power button down for a few seconds and the whole thing shuts down for about 3-4 seconds. it then powers up, i can hear the HD spinning, but after a second, it turns back off. about 5 seconds later, it will try to power up again, but turns back off after one second. it will do this 25 times or more for maybe 5 minutes before it finally decides it's done pissing me off, then boots up normally. besides this bull pucky, it exhibits no other problems.
i've already tried reinstalling windows to no effect. the computer is spotlessly clean inside, vacuumed frequently, and i've already reseated every connection. the computer is less than two years old... help me please!
ah yes: when the computer restarts itself, say for an update, the computer completely powers down, then tries to power up, and pulls the same crap as listed above...
she has: intel q6600 4 X 2.4GHz, MSI MS-7529 MB, 4GB RAM, Vista SP2 64 bit, GeForce 9500GT, wireless adapter and that's it...
