My computer won't boot. I get just a still cursor in the centre of the screen and it's stuck.
All fans are running in the machine and USB devices including keyboard light up. If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, it refreshes the screen and back to the still prompt.
If I take out a RAM stick, it shows a message saying that memory or CPU has changed and to press F1 or F2, but neither does anything and it stays stuck.
EDIT: Also, if I take out the battery and try to turn it on, the machine won't power on at all. Is this normal?
Tried these:
- Replaced the CMOS battery
- Removed the CMOS battery - the computer won't power on at all
- Took out all the RAM - when turning the machine on with no RAM, it repeatedly reboots in cycle
- Put in one stick of RAM
- Disconnected everything except for one stick of RAM, CPU and power
It's a MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard with Intel i5 core processor.
