No Post, No Bios, No Boot From CD
I have no idea what is going on...
I posted to this forum about our other HP desktop:
Need Diagnostic Help - Seems to be Dead
and now other other HP desktop (with the identical motherboard) is now failing as well.
This one is a pc6000, and all I ever get is the screen that displayes the BIOS, processor, CPU speed and the 4 memory banks. So far, so good. Then it says Initializing USB controllers..
Done
Then several blank lines before it says
Press <F10> to enter Setup
Then nothing... although sometimes after the 'Done' line it says
1st Drive: None
2nd Drive: None
3rd Drive: None
4th Drive: None
00 USB mass storage devices found and configured
befire going to a new screen where it says
Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key
Pressing any key just redisplays the msg.
What could possible be going on with these 2 nearly identical HP desktops with the same mobo?
Same results with a Windows 7 Home Premium CD in the drive.
