All,
A few months back I bought a P55M-UD4P, Intel i860, NVIDIA GTS 250 and 4GB of GSkill RJ. I built a Win 7 system and its been running great since. I went to bed at 2am and things were fine with the system. When I woke though, it was a different story. The system was locked up on the screensaver. I killed the system power and rebooted. Now it will not reboot properly. I get gibberish on the screen during the POST, then the starting Windows screen starts and asks whether I want to do a repair or normal boot as the system ended abruptly (power off). The windows boot screen had graphic anomalies as well, but was fairly normal. Though it will not finish booting into Windows, instead either locking or just never finishing. I havent had any heat issues and I checked to make sure all fans were going when I restarted it. The BIOS was F8, and had been at that level for a month.
I tried 3 times before work to no avail. Here is a couple of screens of the post. Any guesses? BIOS corrupted somehow? I'm not getting the splash screen anymore with the boot options.
