Re: Pc Not Booting

Are you using the onboard video or a video card?

Re: Pc Not Booting

Considering that you are getting the screen to work at second boot sounds that you are connected to the correct VGA port.

Can you clarify that when you power up first time, you do not see anything? meaning no bios screen or F2 to go in bios?

You could Check the boot order and make sure HD is first to boot, also make sure that all cards are pushed in properly.

Are you using Media Centre remote keyboard and mouse? if so disable the mouse and keyb detection at boot time in the bios
