Under hard drives in the bios make sure your hard drive s there. If not check that the power and data cables are connected. Most bios have a boot menu key at post. Hit it and select your DVD drive as boot device. If not change the boot order in the bios.

Thanks for the reply, yet still nothing is happening. :/

Try booTing with just the onboard video and one ram stick. If you can get into the bios see if it needs to be updated.

If the last suggestion doesn't work, might take OS disk and do a system repair may have a corrupt boot sector

UnplUg power from the wall. Cear the CMOS and make sure your using the onboard video to get into the bios.

I had a problem that sounds exactly the same as the one your having. For me the fix I used it erases every thing, do you have a back up of the files you want if you have any? Here are the steps that worked for me. In my case I think it was caused by a virus that messed up the Master Boot Record. I'm not an expert but this is what worked for me so I thought I should share it. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1705446/black-screen-white-underscore-emachines-logo.html is where I got help for this problem from @SchizTech

1. Go to http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/

2. Download the one called SeaTools for DOS and burn the .iso image to a blank CD and boot from it.

3. Once your there click on the Advanced Features tab, then click on one that says Erase Drive on the drop down menu. If I remember right there are a few different kinds you want the one that is called something like full erase.

4. Once it's complete (it takes about three hours) try booting from your system restore disks again.

I've got two motherboards ive tryed them both and the same thing happens everytime i boot them up, thanks for the replys again.

Tradesman1 · Jun 18, 2013

Were you using the same SATA cable both times, might try a different one

xkubusx · Jun 21, 2013

Still havent found a solution ive tried everything down the list.

If with one ram stick no gpu or drives if the systEm won't go into the bios screen then there an issue with your CPU. You said you had two mb with the same issue. We're you using the same CPU on both mb.

I was using diffrent PCU on both motherboards but the problem was still the same, thanks for the reply.

Tradesman1 · Jun 22, 2013

Do you have both power and sata cables connected, can you try a different optical drive. May want to bench it troubleshoot, this might help,

Tried all the steps but will be now trying to change the cpu but i dont think that would be it because in the other motherboards i had a diffrent cpu and the same problem was still there:/

Tradesman1 · Jun 22, 2013

Can try troubleshooting from a bench setup, this might help:
