Boot Up Problem

That sounds like a screwy motherboard. Time for a new pc, I think.

We just built them in the beginning of this year. They aren't even a year old.

If you don't need it kill the gigabyte energy saver utility and the razer add-ons, uninstall if you don't need them.

Well the Razer stuff is for our Mouse and Keyboard.. But we uninstalled the energy saver. We also don't know what the Gigabyte Raid Configurer is...

No he only has one hard drive. (I am his brother and we have the same computer builds) I don't have it installed on my computer so clearly he doesn't need it.. We uninstalled it.

Quicktime is buggy. Update it too. Also, as to motherboard drivers, only install the chipset drivers. Forget about the sound or video, get that direct from the manufacturer.

The computer is now working and has no problems after uninstalling the "Gigabyte Raid" inside of "Uninstall a program." We will keep everyone updated with the status of the computer just in-case of more problems.
Thanks for everyone who gave some input no matter how small it was!
