my computer boots up, to a point, it is forced to boot from a cd/dvd drive. it used to freeze at the verifying dmi pool data screen. i have tried everything i know, and everything i have seen on most every website google had to offer.. nothing has helped. this is my last computer and i would love to keep it.
I can't move this to the hardware but try and repost it in the hardware forum. I suspect this is a hardware issue. I tend to use diag cd's such as ultimate boot cd to try to boot to them and use tests. Otherwise I might look at bios health settings for voltages and temps and any logs that may exist. Might remove parts until only motherboard and cpu and one stick of ram are on to see if boots to bios or boots to usb (with OS on it)
