    Try these, and test after each one.

    Unplug the connectors on hard disk, dvd, check graphics card and ram are seated, boot without bios battery installed (unplug from mains beforehand).

  • Ok an update on my problem above.

    After unplugging absolutly everything including hard drives a bits of ram, all usbs etc I diagnosed it.

    You are gonna laugh at me but hey ho, I had 64mb sd a memory card in my internal card reader, for some reason the bios was trying to use that to boot from. Remove the card, no problems! LOL, so simples!

    Thanks for everyones helps
