Whenever I turn-on my PC, characters appears on my monitor and hangs there even before it loads my OS. I can’t even enter my BIOS because it hangs immediately.
This problem occurs when I reformatted my Hard Disk and the installation of the new copy of OS failed.
Here are the things that I’ve done so far:
1. I cleaned the Memory Cards and the slots. I started the PC without a Memory card and it beeps which means it knows that a Memory card is not present.
2. I cleaned the Video Card and the AGP slot. I started the PC without the Video card and it beeps followed by short beeps which means it knows that the Video card is not present.
3. I cleaned the Processor and its slot. I started the PC without the Processor and nothing happens (the display is black).
4. I removed the Hard Disk Drive and started the PC. The characters still appears and I can’t enter the BIOS.
5. I removed the CMOS Battery for 30 minutes. I put it back and started the PC, the same problem occurs.
6. I removed the jumper near the CMOS Battery. I put it back and started the PC, the same problem occurs.
7. The PC has a 500w Power Supply and has 1 80GB Hard Disk and 1 DVD ROM.
Those are the things that I’ve done so far and none of them solves my problem. Any help from you guys is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
