Did you change the CMOS battery?

After you do that and still experiencing the issue.....your HDD may be failing. If that's the case....I would save anything of importance to a USB drive or a portable USB HDD. Then replace the HDD with a new drive. I recommend a SSD. They are inexpensive these days.

Have you checked if the cables (both power and data) are properly connected inside the computer?
What info does the BIOS/UEFI provide about the disk?

Yes. I’ve checked all the cables/etc.
In bios I have legacy Secure off.
I have to keep hitting F12 to change the bios settings configuration.
Its upsetting. I change the options around and it boots up 1 out of 10 tries.
I’m lost with this.
Thank you so much.

Also UEFI doesn’t have a file for windows 7 pro. Optiplex 3010. It’s using legacy. However when I do get it booted up everything works great.
Peace.

Your screeshots are very helpful.
Based on this screenshot it seems that the disk is visible in BIOS/UEFI:


Please select Hard Drive in the image below and take a screenshot with the available options (if any):

Thank you so much. I’m ever so grateful.
I’ve tried that but I really don’t know how to do this.
I’m a recording artist. Lol

I just can’t seem to fix it.
I don’t know if you can call me, that would be a big help. I left the computer on for 3 days. I’m worried I’ll do more damage. Lol

Thanks so much.
I have two windows 7 pros. To run Sonar Platinum and Harrison mix conceals.
Better than pro tools.
Anyway, I have a deadline for Sony records. I’m losing it. Lol

I’m very grateful.
Peace my friend.

I ran the 30 minute test. It said everything was okay. But it’s not. I have to keep playing with the boot sequence and uncheck and start w/ usb devices. Then C; drive DVD. Os C
Then ST 0000......
Then diskette and last is NIC.
I have to do it several times and then it boots.
I dropped the service pack 1 window pro 7
It asks for English and the rest of the stuff but still won’t fix the issue.
I’m not great w/ computers. Should I shut it down ? Instead of leaving it run. Today is 4 days now.

Thanks.
