As soon as it says "Starting Windows 95" or whatever it is that it says...I forget exactly, press F8. You might press it every so often after the keyboard check just to make sure you time it right. It should bring up a menu from which you can choose to boot to DOS.

Try turning it off completely. (If it's an ATX case, unplug it for a bit.) Then turn it back on and see if you get anything. Also make sure none of your cables (ie. monitor) came loose at some point. Always start with the most obvious. :)

when the comp boots up press F8 then choose 7 to activate ur DOS then start from there.
