Locks Up at boot sequence

[Guest]

I have an MSI board with a phenom x4 processor and the board won't boot past the bios sata detection sequence, any suggestions would be great.

Check your board cpu support section for bios version requirements. Many low end boards won't work well with cpus above 95w. And remove the battery if you want to reset the bios with the system turned off, then reinstall after one minute.

lmao its MSI what do you expect

reset cmos

also it may be a failing ide/sata device making it hang (or cable/connection)
