My monitor is full of white dots upon start up with f2 set up and f12 boot menu in top right cornet.without touching anything,the screen goes dark with "diskette o failure" f1 continue, f2 set up, in bottom left corner.what is wrong?
 
Solution
The computer's BIOS has halted the boot process because faulty hardware has been detected, namely the floppy-disk drive.
You can choose to continue the boot process and ignore the defective drive by pressing F1, or you can replace the floppy-disk drive.

Alternatively, you can disconnect the floppy-disk drive's power & data cables if you never use it.

The problem was the graphics card reader! I took out the graphics card reader and baked it in the oven then reconnected it into place and voila!Problem solved.
