Hi.
I'm running Windows 8 on my home-built computer. My full specs are in my signature. Every time it boots, it goes past the BIOS splash and then tells me to reboot and select proper boot device. I have tried everything I can think of (EasyBCD, fixing MBR with the Windows 7 disk, etc). The advice online I found says to use the CD that came with my OS. But I got Windows 8 through a download from Microsoft. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: More info:
I have tried updating the BIOS, that didn't help. It's not an initial install, the computer's about 9 months old and I used to have Windows 7 on it. Then I dual booted Windows 8 and Ubuntu. I eventually deleted the Ubuntu partition and it booted fine for several days, but then it stopped booting. Other than that, I haven't really changed anything.
