Computer does boot up

[Phenocain]

I was watching a movie when all of a sudden my computer shut down. All the power cords connected to my computer where connected to a surge protector. I rebooted the computer but the only screen that comes up is the Asus screen which says something about hit tab to enter bios settings. And I can't even do that. It never goes past that screen. I thought maybe the Harddrive went out so I got another and installed it but still nuthing happens. Its just goes to the Asus Window screen. What could possibly be the problem?

Rest the CMOS!

Then, check the power supply.

I am not exactly sure how to reset the CMOS I am reading the manual guide for the Asus P5N-D but it does not really go into specifics on how to do it. Or perhaps I am not understanding. Can anyone walk me through it?

It sounds like it's hanging in p.o.s.t. You might trying getting into bios first (Delete key, I think) - If voltage is low (like the cpu) it won't pass to OS. If you can get into bios, bump up ur voltages a little.
