Computer won't boot sometimes

[staf]

hey folks,

I've had this issue since I purchased this computer about 16 months ago.

I have sent it back to the seller many times for other glitches. All have been fixed, except this one.

Sometimes, when i turn on the computer and after the Information right at the start of the boot finishes, the computer starts fine.

Sometimes when i do the same, after the information at the start, it goes to a black screen with the curcer in the top left hand corner blinking. Now sometimes it take a minute a so, then it starts. sometimes a little longer and the computer starts and sometimes it doesn't boot at all, and all im left with is the curser blinking in the top left hand corner.

So, i gather that i haven't made this happen by doing stupid stuff as it was there the first day i bought it.

Can i please have some help clearing up this problem folks?

thanks you

A faulty hard drive or other failing hardware will cause this issue or even bad molex/sata power connectors from the power supply. This issue might take a while to diagnose.
