Actually it is the other way round - evolution "created" man and then man created God

Actually the whole Moses story is fiction, so 40 years or 6 days, the duration is just what the fiction writer wanted it to be to get his message across.

I have a Netgear system and it works very well. It replaced a Linksys system which was a bear to set up - had to call support line three times just to get it working. I have returned it because it kept dropping one of the satellites requiring a reboot every few days. Netgear, bought at Costco, has worked flawlessly since installation.

I have been running memtests the past few days and it is clear that I do have a bad address on one of the memory cards, I have 2 X 8 GB cards. Some Google articles say a bad memory card can cause this problem, however, when I just leave in the memory card that gets the clear memtest the problem still remains. So I think I can rule that one out as a possible cause.

For me it would seem that the problem is in the BIOS, but I have set the BIOS to all the default settings and the problem still remains. I am under the impression that when you push the start button, the BIOS is the first thing that runs and it brings up the Mobo screen. Do you know whether the BIOS then initiates the MS startup immediately or is there something else the BIOS does before invoking the MS startup routine? This seems to be where the hangup is and the reset button pushes the software over this hump.

Any suggestion is helpful. Thanks

[quote=11bravo]It sounds like you might have other drives connected besides the C drive. You talk about CD drives, but hard to .....

I should probably have been clearer. I had 2 DVD drives, one of which was sporadically misbehaving and that is the one I removed. Could not find the BIOS memory timing you referenced but will keep looking.
I am running the memtest and it is taking a lot longer than I thought. I am on the 3rd of the tests and an error keeps showing up at the same address. Not sure what to make of it just yet. Will wait to see the final results.

Checked the BIOS and SSD is first in line for boot order. Turned off the Fastboot but again, does not seem to make a difference. When I start the ASUS MB screen appears, always has, but then it just sits there. I did leave it on this screen for about 15 minutes and still nothing until I press the reset button. Pressing Del to access the BIOS does nothing and only after I press the reset button will pressing Del get me to the BIOS. It does seem that there is something in the startup sequence that is waiting for something else to happen.

I did turn off fast startup and it did not seem to make a difference. Where would I look in the BIOS to see the startup processes and who waits on what?

Thanks to all for your suggestions. After following through on most of the suggestions and a lot of references on "driver power state failure" I removed on of my CD drives, it has been sporadically misbehaving, and the multi card reader, it had a constantly flashing LED.
Here is the current situation:
On shutdown everything is normal, great improvement there and shutdown is really fast compared to what it used to be.
On start-up the C-drive LED flashes a few time and then goes dark. I then have to press reset and then startup continues a lot faster and without the BSoD showing up - another improvement.
Any suggestions on this last glitch would be appreciated. On the other hand, compared to my gyrations to get to full startup, this is a breeze.

😃 At least I am not getting the typical "user error" that I used to get from the IT folks, although the photo could be showing a user error. 😃

The strange behavior started before I replaced the hard drive. Some research suggested that my c-drive may be failing and that is why I replaced it.

I just replaced the C-Drive. Was an 500MB SSD and I replaced it with a 1 GB SSD

I have noticed that are a few hoggers that are very knowledgeable about computers. I am having a little problem and hope that someone can offer some suggestions for a possible fix.
I have a PC, ASUS motherboard, OS Win 10 latest update.
When I shut down one of two things happen:
1. Nothing, in which case I do a hard shutdown
2. Normal shutdown
When I do a hard shutdown the PC starts up normally on restart.

When the shutdown was normal the following happens on startup:
1. When I press the start button nothing happens until I press the reset button
2. If I let the computer go through the whole cycle then:
a. I get the blue screen of death with a message of a Driver Power State Failure
b. The OS collects "information" for the recovery and when this complete I have to press the reset button
c. Normal startup from this point on
3. If I let the startup cycle progress for about 5 seconds or so and then press the reset button
a. Normal startup.

I recently replaced my CD drive (SSD to SSD). I have run a diagnostic and it shows no errors or problems with the replacement drive.
Any pointers to a possible fix will be much appreciated

Actually the mormons claim he did foresee it since he at one time said he will go “like a lamb to the slaughter”. Secondly, he was not murdered as the mormons claim. He was in jail, had a gun smuggled in by his visitors and he shot a guard after which he was shot and killed
