Hi,
I was trying to run DBAN to wipe my hdd, so I changed the boot order i my Bios to the usb, once I did that and saved changes the bios just froze and there were red green white 1 inch vertical lines near the top of the screen. I turned off the power switch on the back and tried again with no avail.

I have an asrock z87 Extreme 6

First I would push the Clear CMOS switch with computer unplugged.

Then in the bios boot screen I would disable Fast Boot for now (it does not allow proper USB boots) and set USB to the first boot selection. I would make a fresh DBAN stick and boot with it in a USB 2 port.
