new rig, everything running smoothly for a week, until today...computer acted as if it was going to shut down, but went into a stand-by-like mode where i could do nothing.

restarted, sounded like a normal boot, but there was no Republic of Gamers screen with the option to enter BIOS. monitor blinked red as if there was no signal, then after a bit, the chimes for vista sounded and the screen displayed the login page for vista.

tried to reboot and press delete to get into BIOS, but still no display until a few minutes later when the login page popped up.

1. why is there no BIOS options or any screens usually seen before boot?
2. what can i do to resolve this?

Very much appreciated, Threfty
