PC startup issues, please help!

Not open for further replies.
As of late my PC has had issues with starting up. When I turn on the PC, it takes 30 seconds to show anything on my monitor. The VGA debug LED goes white for about 25 seconds, then I get a response. However, it instantly goes to BIOS and I can't leave. When it's in BIOS, the BOOT LED shines green.

Things I've done to try and solve it with no help are:

  • Test different memory
  • Unplug->Replug my graphics card
  • Update my BIOS.
  • Restore BIOS to factory default settings.
  • Clear CMOS by taking out the circular battery.
  • Use a different monitor/different input/different cable.
I haven't been able to tell if it's a graphics card problem because my CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.

Currently I'm under a bit of a time crunch because I have my year 12 end of year exams (HSC's for those in Australia) and my PC has some stuff that isn't necessary but makes studying a lot easier, so it would be great if I could get any help on this, whether it's suggesting what the problem is or possible solutions. If you can't, have a great day :)

If you need any extra info on my PC, please ask. Thanks!
 
Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

Is the computer a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the following:

OS
CPU
Motherboard
RAM (including the amount and Number of Sticks)
Add on Video Card if one is used
Power Supply Unit

Providing these details will enable folk to better help you.
