Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me. I have a PC here I put together for my dad a few years ago. Last night something went wrong where the PC kept locking up and the CPU (FX 8320) was being used 100% by firefox. I thought the thermal paste might of just needed changing so I changed it.
Then windows would not boot. I kept getting a blue screen with an error. The error was something about a Kernal. Long story short something with up with the hard drive. After a few hours or trying different things. I gave up and simply formatted it and reinstalled windows.
Windows has installed fine and the PC is back up and running as normal. Only issue is once I switch the PC on. I just get a black screen with a _ flashing in the top left corner. Now if I was to reboot but this time tap the F12 key then manually select the SSD where windows is installed it will boot fine.
I have tried selecting the SSD as the first boot. I have also disabled the 2 other HDD's from the boot order menu. I have tried resetting the bios settings. But am still facing the same issue.
