No responses to my post so I took it to a tech the problem was after the recovery and BIOS upgrade the BIOS did not recognize my RAM upgrade it wanted the original 8 GB at factory setup so wouldn't boot to the 40GB i had upgraded. Once it booted with the 8gb we could re-install the ram again so simple but I never would  have checked because it was working fine with the 40Gb Ram before the recovery operation.
