    Now my pc has taken to saying it can't find something at boot


    oh the joys of beeing a windows user LOL so about every other reboot or so it stops with a blue screen with your system needs repaired , and something about it can't find something it needs at boot. same thing i can turn pc off and reboot just find, any ideas on what to look for in what it can't find i have no clue. Nothing has been removed from the system at all. I went in as i remembered i changed the boot order the other day, so i went in and loaded bios defaults. Now i the dumb MSI full screen splash screen back i hate that and can't remember how to remove it as its ugly as heck. Any ideas on how to find out what the system is looking for??.

    Additional info all i did was upgrade my video card from a old gtx 760ti to this gtx 970 reference card. and oh and changed the boot order a while back to boot from a cd other then that nothing. the other thread i had was different it just was a repair boot loop now its this very wired i ran pc tools diagnostics and mainboard checks ok, gtx 970 checks a ok all test fine.

    Exact message your pc needs to be repaired a required device isn't connected

  3. PC won't boot up suddenly


    I was hoping that by now someone on this forum could recommend some steps i can take to repair my desktop pc. I outlined the problem and steps i have taken so far. I still havent found the reason for the problem or figured out a solution. I guess no one can offer me any additional suggestions to help. Thanks anyway.
