Hey guys! 

i was wondering if you could help me out with whatever problem im having.

So recently my pc has been having trouble booting up. Whenever i start up my pc it wont boot from anything unless i go into my boot manager. I decided to fix this problem my formatting my pc and installing a new OS. When i was installing the new OS the pc has to restart and when it did the OS did not load from the disk and went straight to the blank screen(in the pictures.) I changed my boot priority many times in the BIOS settings and still it wont load from the disk or hard drive. I've also reset and replaced my CMOS battery. I honestly dont know what i can do at this point to get it to boot properly and install the OS.

 

My PC is an Alienware Aurora R3

i bought it second hand back in 2014 and just have been upgrading RAM and the GPU.

 

Specs:

Intel i7-2600

i forgot what the motherboard model was but its by ASUS and i cant really turn it on to find out.

Nvidia GeForce 760

16GB RAM

800w power supply

if you guys need any more information just let me know. I'll try and pull it out if i can.

I would imaging its a problem within the windows boot manager because the bios wouldn't have the flashing curer like that.

 

What version of windows do you have installed? What other OS's? Have you had any other issues with windows startup or boot?

 

Also, are you using UEFI bios?

i can manuallly load up the boot manager and load windows from the disk or hard drive.

 

i was running windows 7.

 

My BIOS is called aptio setup utility. Not to sure how to check if its UEFI.

Boot mode (UEFI) is a bios setting.

 

You "were" running windows 7?

 

If you still are, get a repair disk, and use that to repair the system.

Im not too sure how to get into the UEFI boot mode setting unless its to the change the UEFI boot priorities.

 

i formatted my hard drive and tryed to reinstall windows 7 thinking it would fix the boot problem.

 

i tried the repair disj all it said was no problems detected.
