Reboot problem

[kemal masa]

Hi All,

I've got a strange problem by restarting my comp. After I installed a
win2000Me I cant restart anymore. After all IDE devices are being checked
and afterdetected I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper
corner. No reaction on CTRL+ALT+DELETE. I cant see the usual table with
discription of CPU, memory and IDE devices attached to the system. It means
i have no access to any device incl. floppy, harddisk and zip. The only
thing i have i BIOS where i am still able to make any changes.
What could it be? Loading Safe-defaults from BIOS didnt bring anything.
Please help! I need my PC back!

Thanks in advance!

What happens when you push the reset button?

Did you upgrade from another OS or was it a clean install? This really
sound like a hardware prob. or a Bios virus. Try resetting the bios (pull
the watch battery for 5 seconds or so).

Thanks..

Firstly it was a clean install on a newly formatted HD.

When I do a Ctrl-Alt-Del I get Zip. The Keyboard goes dead, the screen goes
black but nothing else happens. No power supply or disk noise to let you know
anything. The light on the CD does NOT go on.

The same is when I hit the reset button on the box.

The same is when I use the Start/Shutdown/Restart option

The same when Win says it will reboot for this new change etc..

Nothing happens unless I ON/OFF, and then sometimes it takes two ON/OFF;s to get
it to light up.

Get the brains working guys.. I'm about stumped!!

Thanks

David

It is with Win98 and also ME ! It definitely is a Hardware or Bios Problem
however I can't see where I need to change anything on the mobo or in the Bios.

I flashed the 2.36 Bios to this newer one (2.55) and changed the CPU from 400 to
600 Pent3. All seems to run perfectly everywhere except for this reset problem.
