Hi
A friend's PC is stuck on boot/bios.
When he starts the PC it is stuck on picture #1. Then when clicking ESC it gets to picture #2 and nothing happnes (key clicks have no effect). It seems like the BIOS setting screen is even not fully painted.
This is reproducible always.
Some more information:
- Windows 7
- The first time the problem started was when the friend by mistake restarted with a disk-on-key plugged in.
- we have tried disconnecting all USB devices (mouse, keyboard...) but it did not help
- Booting from original windows 7 installation CD does not help - stuck on same place
- When I start the PC I hear the ventilator for a second but then it immediatelly stops and I don't hear it nor the hard drive
What can we do?
Thanks
