Hey guys, basically I turn on my comp and I just see the NF4 Lanparty Logo.... I tried delete and every F key... nothing happens... it just stays on that screen. Am I missing something?

 

[entropy1982]

how do i at least get into bios?

Is it the system that's in your signature, or another? Random first guess: make sure you have all four of the power fittings populated, and that your keyboard is not plugged into the mouse port (if you have a PS/2 round-plug keyboard, purple port is keyboard, not green).

press teh delete button. you're going to need to format your hard drive. that's likely why its not booting up.

 

[entropy1982]

I pressed delete it didn't go to bios... yes it is the system in my sig

 

[entropy1982]

sorry repeat

Delete, not backspace right? Hit tab to get rid of the pretty window when first booting.

 

[entropy1982]

yea i'm pressing delete, tab doesnt do anything.... neither does any other button what could it be?

It's probably the video card is faulty. You'd better send it to me for "testing" 😉

Did you check that you have all four power fittings hooked up and your keyboard's in the purple port?

It's not the video card, and it's not the hard disk. It's probably not the CPU, either.

Your motherboard may be improperly connected to another component. Make sure your power connectors are all correct. If you have front USB ports, try disconnecting them. In fact, try disconnecting every device (even your hard disk) but the PSU and video card, and then load the BIOS if you can.

One last thing: Your board should have a jumper which is used for resetting the BIOS to defaults. Try switching it.

Could be a bad stick of ram. If you have two sticks of ram, take one out and see if it boots with one. If not, try the other stick by itself.
