Computer crashed, trying to reinstall operating system windows 7 professional, DVD drive won't read disc. Have tried F12 with only pop up saying repair but that doesn't work either. I have also tried F8. DVD drive just won't read!

Mother board hasw been replaced so not sure of it. Can't get into the bios at all. It is stuck on that repair window. That's why I wanted to wipe it out and add operating system but DVD can't read.

Can you open up the computer case side-panel and look on the mainboard to see if you can read any Names/Brand/Code/Number printed on the board?
But usually to get to BIOS on desktop mainboard, keep pressing these keys at initial boot up Delete, F1, F2, F10, F11.
