    Boot Sector Damaged

    Well I did a fresh install and guess what... The problem is still there. The system shutsdown, then hangs. May I ask what BIOS settings you would recommend? Have you ever heard of the HD not shutting down proper or not starting correctly? Thank you for your help,

    Boot Sector Damaged

    Very rarely do I just push the reset button to restart Vista. When restarting I use system restart fuction, the system will shutdown 'nothing unsusal' then it will hang with a blank screen. When I say hang I mean the system does nothing. Hope this help and thank you for responding.
