So earlier today I was gaming, and the game froze and pretty much couldn't do anything (cntrl+alt+del, alt+tab, etc) so I held down the power button on my PC to force shut it down.
Now I go to reboot it, and I can't get past the "starting windows" screen right before the login screen, instead it sits there for about 30 sec, then quickly flashes a blue screen (too fast so I can't read what it says), from here it reboots itself, gets past the BIOS screen and it says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
I've tried the repair tool with the win 7 CD, didn't work.
I've tried using F8, to boot in safe mode, didn't work
I've tried using F8, booting with last known good configuration, didn't work
I've gone into the BIOS numerous times to change boot priorty, none of which worked
I haven't downloaded any new programs recently, haven't updated any drivers recently. I'm stumped here, no idea what to do - was working perfectly fine before I did the force power off.
Just throwing this out there. I'm using a 120 GB SSD for my OS, and other highly used programs. A 1 TB HD for storage and things like that. And a 60 SDD for recording gameplay footage too.
Any help at all would be great!
