I was using a new Gigabyte B75-HD3 for about a month with no problem until today. I have not added any hardware or installed anything new in the last 3 weeks.
The problem is that when I power up, I see the big splash screen, and then the system stops there.
It's not dead, but I need to press enter to get it to start loading windows.
And then, once I'm in windows, the aero effects are disabled. I need to run the performance assessor in windows to enable aero effects again.
I have no idea what is wrong. I tried removing my graphics card and drives one by one but even with nothing (ie using a bare mobo with onboard graphics) it still gets stuck at the bios screen.
is there any way to see results of a power on self test so that I can see error messages?
When I turn off the 'full screen ' logo in an effort to do this, instead of the fancy gigabyte splash screen, I get a big American Megatrends logo occupying the whole screen and it still gets stuck.
I was also wondering how to boot from USB with this mobo. I can't find the boot option in the bios... it only shows hard drives even when a thumbdrive is plugged in.
