it stays on the screen and i cannot do anything to get past it.

If you have a floppy bootdisk, you can use it to boot up and then load a bios update off a second floppy. You can still find floppy drives for $10-12 or less, new and used. Or you can call MSI and have them send you a bios chip. They might not even charge you for it. I've talked to their rma dept before. They were most helpful in expediting my rma's.

One floppy drive, one floppy bootdisk, and one disk with bios flash program and updated bios file.
