Here's one I've never had before. I got an old 633 mhz celeron emachine ( uhg ). it was working fine. I had reloaded it then put it aside. All was well. One morning I decided to load in a vuris scan but when I tunred it on all i get is the emachine splash screen...it stays there. no boot , no nothing, I've tried reseting the cmos, replacing the batery, unpluging all hardware and trying new ones ( keyboard, fdd, vid card, HD, cables, ETC, ETC....
When i try to access the bios it shows ENTERING SETUP at the bottom of the splash screen and again it stays there...Completely freezes up. Keyboard becomes unusable. I hafto to shut it down by pressing the power button.
Diagnosis...fried mainboard?
