My PC will stop posting at the point where it identifies the CPU and BIOS revision. It will not go further. I have disconnected my hard drives, reseated my CPU, reseated my memory and reseated all other plugin cards on the PC. This does not produce repeatable results. Once my PC did start up, completed POST and ran fine all day. Another time it completed POST after being frozen for 30 minutes. For the majority of the time, it did not post beyond the CPU identifier/ BIOS rev. The PC will recover from sleep state but not restart even after running fine all day. This started happening a few days ago after a microsoft update but I do not think there is a connection. This system is not overclocked.
