I woke this morning and found this on my computer. What does it mean?
The computer will not boot on its own, with a recovery disk, with the original disk or with a Windows 7 disk. I have not made any changes to it, especially since last night when it was working.
It's a Gateway GT5692 running Windows 7 although it originally came with Vista. I tried the Gateway chat support and he had me reset the BIOS settings to standard (I hadn't ever changed them before) but that didn't work. He suggested reloading the OS but that's not working either since it won't boot off the Windows 7 disk. This computer is not under warranty so that's about as far as I can go with Gateway.
I also downloaded a BIOS file which has a newer date than the computer but I have no idea how to install it. Right now it's on a USB flash drive.
Any suggestions?
