I bought a new hard disk since my old one failed, and I've been trying to install an OS onto it with my CD rom. The motherboard let me go into the bios settings till yesterday and today it just gets stuck on the gigabyte dualbios splash screen. It shows the options for entering the bios (f12, del, end) but none of them work.

What I've tried so far :
Disconnecting hdd, dvd drive, all USB devices
I have two sticks of ram (4gb each) I've tried both rams in both slots (all combinations)

Clear the cmos and try again, mine usually gets stuck when ive changed the slightest of things, like had a usb stick in originally and then removed it, its like the bios is still looking for it wondering where it went.

No, clear the cmos, use the jumper on the motherboard, have a look in your manual for the location, you just need something metal to clear it, like a flat head screw driver or car key etc.

I'm sorry for being a noob at this, but my motherboard has a clr_cmos thingy that looks like a tube with two thin metal wires coming out of one end. Do I just touch the metal wires for 5 seconds? Also do I turn on the pc while I'm doing this?

OK, your clear cmos jumper is here, leave the computer off, and just touch something metal against these 2 pins for approx 10-20 seconds, just to connect them together.

Ive marked it in red, its down by the front panel headers, and sata ports there.

I connected them for about 15 sec and the problem is still the same. Maybe it's a hardware thing?

OK, try with just one stick of ram, but you'll have to try both as 1 might be faulty.

Thinking about it, its posting, so its probably not a ram issue, its possibly the keyboard, do you have another you can try ? or try your keyboard in another computer ?

Okay I tried both rams in both slots, resetting cmos every time and the problem is still the same. Only now, after every cmos reset the pc turns on, shuts down after 1 sec and then turns back on again to get stuck at the motherboard screen. I've been stuck with this problem for days and I've missed so many deadlines for my online tests

UPDATE : I removed the graphic card and connected the pc to the TV with vga and it said the bios was corrupted and reset the main bios.

NEW PROBLEM. : when I select boot from DVD drive, it just shows a blank black screen. Is this a problem with my DVD writer or DVD itself
