If you've been playing with the bios there can be all kinds of problems, I've learned this through trial and error (knowing i was learning and likely to learn by experiance). I'd suggest resetting the bios to "Optimal" or whatever your' bios calls it and seeing if that solves it. You may have to change the bios in terms of boot drive and possibly other settings, but best to change as little as possible. I assume this machine previously worked well? have you tried booting from an optical drive or thumb drive with another os or utilities disk to eliminate kernel issues? finally, if it worked till recently you could have a dying pci card in which case you'll have to try pulling them all out (other than graphics if it's not built in) and then reinstalling one card at a time, rebooting to see if things have changed. failing that, you might rebuild the kernel just in case that was corrupted in some way. A lot of subtle hardware problems can corrupt the compiler but not show up in less intensive use. especially when learning, it's best to change one thing at a time, reboot and see what happens. this way if something breaks you know it was probably your' last change. I hope this is useful to you. It is also always a good idea to ask others who may see what we ourselves are not seeing. Trouble shooting can be very difficult and not everyone is good at it but most can get a lot better with practice and patience.
