Changed BIOS Battery, Can't Boot/Access Setup; However USB Keyboard OK
I have an Old/Great Dell D531 Desktop that I did two things at same time, now no boot up and can't access bios for setup changes.
1) Changed bios battery;
2) added power to USB 3.0 PCI controller card that had been installed month earlier;
3) Now boots to Dell logo and nothing else and no flashing cursor;
4) USB keyboard not getting power so F2, F8, F12, ESC do not work;
5) Years ago added a 500gb harddrive [SATA3] with three partitions (J,K,M);
6) Computer was upgraded years ago from VISTA 64 on original C drive [SATA0] to Win7 64 on new drive partition J;
7) At times the attached file info appears which maybe of help.
Any non-sarcastic advice is much appreciated since on SS and can't afford another PC.
