Sounds like the login box on the black screen is the BIOS login. If you never had this before, then somebody could have been playing with your PC and added a BIOS Password. To clear this: power off the PC/unplug it/open the case and remove the motherboard battery(round silver disc) for 5 minutes then reinstall. power up and see if it works.

You open the computer case. There will be a small silver disc battery, about the size of a 20c piece. Looks like this. You need to remove that for at least 5 mins, then put it back in and turn on the PC. It will ask something about setting defaults by pressing F1, do that. Then the PC should load properly.

Looking at the front of my PC., it is the left side that comes off. Remove screws (on back?), then slide the side to the back to unclip the front edge.
If it is not that simple then make & model is needed. While in there blow out any lint with a can of compressed air. Do have the power off & no static charge in your body. I think he meant unplug the power plug, not everything. Last edited by law99; 03-18-2008 at 06:14 PM. |
