Hi, for the past few months now i have been running into a fair few problems with my PC, specifically to do with booting. I have now just resorted to never letting my PC power off because it is too much of a pain to turn back on and I'm worried one day it never will.
Basically, if i ever turn the PC off completely, upon firing it back up it will 100% without fail get stuck on the BIOS splash screen (i think), and the fans begin to run at a really high speed. The only way I can get around this, is to unplug everything from the PC, remove the RAM and CMOS Battery on the mobo, wait 5 or so minutes, plug back in the RAM and CMOS, power cable and HDMI and turn it back on.
Bob's your uncle, the computer now loads into the BIOS - which has been reset for the 874813245'th time - 'load optimized defaults and boot' and ta-daa the computer has now successfully booted up.
On a side not i thought i might mention that it was only the last time I had to turn my PC off - which prompted me to find this site and make a thread about it - that I could have both the power cable and HDMI cord plugged into the PC after resetting the BIOS through the CMOS battery. Previously I couldn't even have the HDMI plugged in when i turned the PC on or i would get stuck on the BIOS splash again and have to repeat the process, however, after the PC had been turned on for about 30 seconds, I could then plug the HDMI in to find it had loaded past the BIOS and right to the user login.
What exactly is going on here? I'm confused and looking to do some upgrading over the next month but aren't sure what might need replacing/ fixing.
