    Hi peeps.

    I have stumbled into a very interesting problem. Lately my g73jh started lagging a little bit and so i have decided to do a clean windows 7 install. now everything ran smoothly up untill after the first setup (when the install is done and it's actualy loads the windows of the PC) and the PC just rebooted itself and does so every time it reloads. Kind of endless loop. I have tried deleting my partition and creating a new one with no result. I have a 211 Bior and have the Gary's vBios update. I figured it might be crashing because it is unfamiliar with the vBios but i can't seem to find online the factory stock vBiot file to flash it with. If anyone have a link or have ended up solving the same problem or just have some more questions please feel free to ask. This makes me nuts since i can't use my own comp and it's just lying there like a big brick.

    1) do NOT reflash your vBIOS, as there is no need to
    2) Try resetting your BIOS to defaults, and then reinstall Win 7 clean
