Gigabyte gak8nxp-sli, amd 4200 2gb ram
Goes thru post, then hang up at the windows logo screen, and the green bar is moving to no end.....Put in windows disk, to go to recovery mode, and when it gets to "Starting Windows", it hangs there too. I have but Bios back to defaults, but to no avail. So, I can't even format and re-install windows at this point.
Strange. The computer was off for about a month or so, wasn't moved or anything. Just turned it on today, and this happened. NO raid, one HD SATA.

garlic and olive oil.....makes a person sound...maybe a little mayo too...forget the mayo...had a stint put in.....
