I have updated to the latest BIOS on my computer.... Win 7 still seemed to load just fine after the update. I then loaded the default settings on the BIOS and this seemed to have been the cause of my Win 7 now freezing on the splash screen. I have tried placing the BIOS settings back the way they were, using last known good, starting in safe mode, and startup repair with no luck. The safe mode and startup repair options do not fully load as well. Not sure what else to try to revive this system. Any ideas? Thanks!
