Problems booting and getting into bios after install

Post by Nerdhus »

So installed virtual box the other night and now Windows 8 won't boot, and I can't even get into bios. The screen is just black. Anyone know what to do? I know this is a common problem but I can't even get into the bios....

Sounds like you have a dead PC. VirtualBox can't possibly cause that.

Sometimes people ascribe magical powers to things they don't understand - but I'm afraid VBox is just an ordinary app. It has no special requirements, no special effects, no special powers. It most certainly does not have the power to wipe your motherboard flash.
