My PC shuts down fine but hangs on restart. It does this is both safe and normal mode. It appears to hang right before the HD would get turned off. The SHUTTING DOWN screen proceeds fine and the HD stops it's activity, the screen goes black (the HD light stays) and it just hangs there. Pressing the RESET button on the PC starts it up fine.
The thing is the PC was ok. I am not sure when this started happening but I presumed a fresh install of Win 7 would fix it but it did not. So I am now presuming that it's something in the BIOS. I have played around with settings including the SATA RAD II CONFIG (tried both IDE and AHCI and reinstalled windows with AHCI on). I'm out of my depth with these bios settings though as I don't really understand them.
My motherboard is: GA-73PVM-S2H (up to date bios). CPU is a Q8300 2.5 quad core.
I have Ccleaned and fully virus checked etc. I really do think it's a motherboard or bios setting problem but from here on in I'm stuck.
Cheers,
