Hello all,
For a while now my computer has been experiencing some strange boot issues and I have discovered that my graphics card is the source of the problem, although I'm not quite sure why. I'm don't know what help anyone can offer other than confirming that I need a new GPU, but it is worth a shot.
The PC will occasionally decide that there is no problem and boot perfectly, after which it will run fine for the duration that it is powered on. However, more than often when I try and power the PC on it will do one of these three things:
1) Power on but not display any signs of booting.
2) Power on, display some text from the BIOS that says something along the lines of 'UEFI DUAL BIOS' at the top of the screen (with a blue-black gradient background) and then restart, only to go to 1).
3) Power on as in 1) and restart endlessly.
To 'fix' the computer when it decides to be an annoyance, I turn it off and on at the PSU and then power it on again. Rinse and repeat until it decides to be kind.
At the moment I have removed the graphics card and the problem has subsided. There are no visual indicators as to the graphics card being on its way out/broken when the computer does decide to run as normal.
EDIT: If it is of any interest, the GPU is a Radeon HD5770.
