Can’t boot after fresh install

K

After successfully installing FreeBSD 10 with no errors, I can’t get past the boot menu. When I hit enter, the screen goes black and the computer reboots. I tried installing it two times and booting with different boot options.

With 9.3 it hangs on “Booting…” There aren’t any other operating systems installed. When I tried PC-BSD, it’d boot properly, same with every Linux distribution and Windows. I’m using an Acer Aspire 7520G.
 
I can't see any reason that computer would have problems. If it were me, I'd make sure the BIOS was updated. If that doesn't help, try formatting the drive as MBR rather than GPT.

Yes, I have. However, after multiple reboots, FreeBSD 9.3 works now… I really have no idea what the issue was.
