Weird issues...

I have an i5 machine that has been running fine up until today. It's on a Biostar TH67+ board.

Now every time I boot the machine, it won't complete its start sequence. I figured okay, instead of bothering to diagnose the issue, let me just go ahead and rebuild it. No big deal, right?

I put my USB key in to boot from, and it won't get into the Windows setup! It goes really slowly on the "Loading", then gets to the Windows logo that says "Starting Windows" and just sits there for ages.

I want to run some diagnostics on it, but I'm not sure what to run. I'm open to ideas, and I have a USB key I can throw it onto.

So.... help!

Welp it was the motherboard. Shoulda known... And that's too bad too, because I've never had a motherboard go south on me this quickly.
