I have a homemade computer that, up until 10 minutes ago was working perfectly.

I changed my xorg.conf (I'm on Ubuntu) and had to force restart the computer because the screens weren't responding and now it won't get past the ASUS loading screen.

Here's what I know:

1. The delete key does not get me into the BIOS
2. The numlock key on the keyboard is lit up
3. No amount of keyboard mashing has an effect.

I'm at a loss for what to do next.

Allright, it seems that it freezes only when I have certain (non-bootable) storage devices attached via SATA. Any ideas on how to bypass this issue?
