Alright so I've seen a similar issue all over the web where the person can log in but while they're trying to do things the screen flashes blue. That is NOT my problem. I can't log in, I can't get into safe mode, the boot screen doesn't appear, the computer is basically a paperweight. All it does when I turn it on is flash between blue and black screens with the *loading* cursor visible. It's doing it on all three of my monitors so I know the monitor isn't the issue.
I built the computer over a year ago and haven't had many problems with it until now.
It seemed like a hardware issue so my first instinct was that there was something wrong with the hard drive, so I tried plugging it into another computer as a secondary drive. I was able to access all my files with no issues, so does that prove the hard drive isn't busted? Or would I still be able to access the files even if it were busted?
If it's not the hard drive, what else could be the issue? Do you think it's a hardware issue at all? Could some kind of virus have done this?
Here's my PC specs:
3770k Intel i7 processor
GTX 660 Nvidia graphics card
700W power supply
16gb (2x 8gb) RAM
1TB hard drive
Gigabyte motherboard
Thank you for any help!
