When I turn on the computer, POST produces a single beep yet no further action occurs?
Hey there, I noticed something odd with my computer. It hasn't had any parts replaced in a year. I turned it on today and immediately started experiencing this issue: after the POST beep, it doesn't boot at all and stays on the splash screen. I tried pressing DEL/F2 to enter BIOS, but it just waits about a minute before loading. If I exit BIOS without restarting, I can get back into Windows, though it still takes longer than usual. Restarting from BIOS brings me back to the same problem—just hangs on the splash screen unless I enter BIOS again. I've documented everything here. Any suggestions?
And this was it. I couldn't fathom how such a tiny, easily overlooked thing could lead to this. Thanks.
