My computer crashed while I was away from my desktop. So, don’t know what exactly happened. Tried to boot up with Vista Ultimate Boot Disk. It still canot boot up. What happened? The computer did a memoy check, loaded window files about 1/4 way and then dissappeared and went right back to checking memory again. It repeats this loop a few times (memory checking repeatedly) until it froze or the entire screen is blank. I tried with a new hard disk to reboot it, the same thing happened. It cannot boot up. With the new h/disk, it asked for a system disk to be inserted to the DVD drive. I try putting DOS Window 2.0 XP. It went to A> drive. A few minutes later, the whole screen become black/blank. It’s unstable. I believe the BIOS is corrupted. Any ideas? Becos’ I can’t boot up and stay in DOS long enough before it goes blank, I can’t load a new BIOS. Your help is most appreciated. Thank you.
My configuration:
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (64 bits)

MotherBoard: P965T-A Rev 1.0B
