Ok first off I'm working with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64x monster computer it has like 2 or 4 quad core processors, 16 gigs of ram, five 10,000 rpm hard drives, 2 chained video cards and it came with God's email address. I wish I owned this thing, anyway that's a story for anther day.
This guy ask me to come over and have a look at this thing. He said it has worked fine then one night he turned it off and it would never start again. Same ol story as most "no big deal" I tell him. "I'll fix it" So I have a look its at the windows can't start bla bla bla screen I fix computers all day from windows 98 to windows 8 I'll fix anything fear not I say. So I try to enter the bios and set the boot disk drive to start from a windows 7 repair disk I try everything to get in to the bios with no luck. I had to remove the battery to get in to it. then set it to boot from disk and reboot.
(The bios on this thing has more options then I've ever even seen in my life) I run the windows repair disk it can't fix it. I tried everything with no hope. so I have a server tower that holds 5 drives so I slap em in my tower and connect it to my laptop I can see everything seems fine it's all there it just will not boot. I tell the guy I may have to just wipe it and reinstall everything. So I back up all his files and format the drives. I reinstall windows and its all good. everything is working. Next day he calls me it did it again. same story all over again. I just can't fix it. I can't even get windows to run the install with out putting the hard drives in my tower and formatting them. It's like a boot loop..
I think well maybe something wrong with ram or video card.. So to make it easy I remove one video card, remove 4 hard drives and remove all but one stick or ram. Install windows again. I keep it over night everything works fine. I click start shutdown and next day fire it up. Same thing it just will not let me in bios windows will not load. wiping it out is my only hope. I remove the other video card (it has a built in HDMI on the mother board) change the hard drive out and swap the ram with a different stick. Same story. I am so lost here. No matter what I do. you cant get windows to start again once you power it off.. I put a new battery in it, striped it to just one hard drive and one stick of ram and nothing will stop windows from this boot loop of death I'm at my end I can't fix this one and I have no clue why. Has anyone here ever seen anything like this?
