I've been running a stable multi-boot build for a couple of years with basically no problems, and then on the early evening of New Years eve it suddenly started refusing to boot the way it has reliably been doing, for no apparent reason. Seriously, I've done nothing, no changes to startup sequence, nothing.
The normal boot up sequence is that after the UEFI splash screen, it shows the multi boot menu; a choice of Mac OSX (Yosemite) or Windows 7, defaulting to OSX if no input is detected.
What happens now is that when the boot menu appears it doesn't show the Windows 7 drive, and if you select OSX (it currently shows a choice between MaxOSX and the Data Drive, a drive with no boot sector that I had previously successfully hidden from the boot menu), it gets as far as showing the white apple logo screen for a split second before the computer restarts and loops the process ad infinitum.
I'm able to boot to Windows 7 only through the UEFI menu accessed through pressing F11 on the UEFI splash screen to access the boot menu. I can access the Mac drive through windows without issue, I just can't boot from it.
I'll reiterate; I've had basically no problems with this build since its inception.
Basic machine info:
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K
Motherboard: MSI Z95 Gaming 5
Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770
16 GBS of RAM
I've been trying to capture a screenshot of the verbose boot but it is so very brief I don't think I'll be able to.
I will provide any further details if requested.. Please help
