I reset the bios and I do not know what else to do. Thanks!

Was it working before or is this a fresh install? Also, did you reset the motherboard like the manual told your or did you just take out the battery? (If you removed the battery - read the mobo manual's instructions and reset the proper way) Do you have only 1 HDD? If not, your pc is only seeing one drive.

Check all the connections inside your case and make sure they're all secure.

I had a motherboard that would do that.. Figured out that my usb flash drive was the culprit and had to take it out of the machine when restarting otherwise it would just hang...

My system would just hand whenever the USB flash drive was plugged into it. My system didn't try to boot from it. Just the flash drive being in the USB port would cause the whole system to hang and not post.This was on my ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe.May it rest in pieces... :)

Thanks for your help guys. Yes it was the USB Flash Drive that was plugged in that caused it to hang (Doh!) But unfortunately, I did not realize this until after I unplugged everything and took out the MB battery.

Oh well, at least its back now. Thanks again for your inputs!
