When I boot up the system it gives the Specs for the video card then goes to the colorful mobo screen. Then it freezes. I tried pressing TAB during boot up. This moves me past the mobo screen. When I press ALT+F2 nothing happens. I also tried pressing DELETE at boot up. Sometimes this takes me to the BIOS set up screen. Yet I have no idea what I should do at either the DELETE or TAB screen. My power supply blew last week and took my processor and video card with it. I have replaced all this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hard to imagine that if your power supply took out the CPU and the video card it didn't do something to the motherboard at the same time.

Yes but what did it do to my Mobo? Because power is getting to it and it reads the video card AND the processor. Right now I think it is more a problem with the hard drive or software. I am PRAYING for a software issue.

It's unlikely to be a software issue if your machine had no problems before the PSU blew and now it does after replacing Graphics card and CPU i would go for it being a bad motherboard now. Badluck i have had a PSU blow on me not nice to the wallet!

forgot to mention have you tried your ram in another machine that could give you similar simtons

Hi Alex. I've been following your problem off and on. You say you don't know what to do after you get past the delete. So let's start there. Do you have the manual for this motherboard? It would help. Bu once you get to the BIOS setup, you need to select your floppy drive(s), time, etc and setup your hard drive. There may be an Auto setting, and many mobo's will auto select the drives by pressing, say, F3. If this works ok, simply hit the Esc key and say Yes to savwe. Then, it should boot on up. I'm presuming here that the OS is already on the hd? Everything starts from the BIOS setup. If you can't get past that you won't get anything else, either. Let us know how this part is doing. HTH

Heya, If Im not mistaken the next part of the sequence will be the Ram check, I too have seen comps which freezes at that point which was defective ram, As Tuckerl said, have u tried the ram in another machine? If you can boot from a floppy, try memtest86, nice little app for checkin ram Just a thought
