are you getting power or not. i would first check all the cables to see if anything are loose. i would also check the power supply. and also would look in you motherboard book to find how to reset the bios.

Make a bootable cd rom and see if it boots on that.\n\nYou can even try a non-Windows OS (gasp!)\n\nLastly you could try to flash the Bios

Restart the system, then try to go into the BIOS setup menu. Make sure it shows that the proper amount of RAM is attached, as well as the hard drives. Exit BIOS, and press the TAB key (I believe) to watch the motherboard account for each attached device. If it shows a missing device, or the wrong amount of RAM, then that device may need to be replaced.

Download CPU-z and check the ram.  It will tell you everything about your Motherboard and the components.

The easiest way  is to enter BIOS. this is usually done by hitting the F1, F2, ESC or DEL key (some laptops even require a combination of keys such as CTRL F1) If you can't do this, for example you've messed up your settings so bad that it doesn't start anymore you will have to remove the battery(CMOS battery). If you choose to do so remember to not only unplug thue power cord but also remove the laptop's own power supply the battery(not the CMOS one). Once you've located the CMOS battery remove it and wait a while. Then plug everything back in and boot. \n\nPS if you don't have experience with hardware and laptop hardware in particular don't try opening it in your own

Its called a flash. TO flash the Bios. Theres software to do it. Check with your motherboards manufacture.

Shut it completely off and unplug it from the wall.  Open the case so you can see the motherboard.  Look for a silver battery on the motherboard (about 1 inch diameter or smaller).  Somewhere close to the battery, you will see a jumper (also known as a link setting).  \n\nThis is the CMOS jumper, and it will be positioned on 2 of the 3 available pins.  Remove it from the the 2 pins on one side (could be on pins 1 and 2 or on 3 and 4...doesn't matter) and place it on the other end (pin 2 will be used on both settings, only 1 and 3 will change).  Let it sit for 10 seconds, then return it to the position it was in when you found it.\n\nReplace the cover and plug it back into the wall.  Turn on the computer and let it try to boot up.  If it works, cool, you've fixed it.  If you get the same error, you need to reboot and this time when it starts up press whatever key you need to get into the Bios (could be delete or F8 or F12, whatever).\n\nOnce in the Bios, make it search for you fixed disk drives...it should come up with each drive and how big they are.  If it finds all the installed drives, great!  Hit Save And Exit and allow it to reboot.  If it still comes up with that error, you may have a corrupted drive...it's now time to call in the professionals.\n\nI hope this helps!

Look on the motherboard for a set of jumper pins that reset the BIOS password to null.

If you are looking for another way to break the code without having to change it .. then you will have to guess it ..\n\nBut if you want to reset the BIOS clock without removing the battery .. then refer to your mainboard manual and check the right position of the jumper .. usually it is a three pin panel with a jumper hooked up to two pins the instructions says you should power off the machine then fix the jumper on the other two pins (notice that usually the pin in the middle is joint between the three pins) then power it on .. and then off again .. then return the jumper to it's very first position .. then power on the machine .. and you're good to go!

try this but don't mess around in the bios.\nturn off the pc.\nturn it on again, as it is setting up, press the DEL key several times, the pc should go into the bios, usually a blue screen with settings for lots of the pc's setup items.\ngo to the drives, use the arrow keys to navigate.\ncheck to see if it shows a rom drive. if not click on my pc there and if should locate it and show it, if it doesn't then reset the pc.\nonly way I'm afraid.

Yes, pull the Motherboard battery for a few minutes.\n\nOnce the charge drains, your MB should be back at it's factory defaults.\n\nResponse to question: \nOnly the BIOS is affected.  Nothing on your hard drive is touched.  If you made some tweaks to your BIOS you will need to make them again, since any tweaks (along with the BIOS password) will be lost when the battery is removed.

READ your Motherboard manual!!!\n\nI hope you did not fry your CPU. It's possible that the CPU clock on the MOBO is set too high. \n\nLook in the manual for instructions on how to reset the CMOS. Also look for info on how to set the motherboard for your processor speed.\n\nLights are on but nobody is home usually means the CPU is fried or clocked too high which can damage it.

The bios can be reset with the jumper near the battery on the motherboard. For cracking the windows password download the Linux password recovery crack

go to bios and check the memory (ram) and \n\nfloppy drive conection to you mother board...

Manual for the motherboard.\nIf you don't have the manual, check the motherboard model and find the manual online.

There should be a battery inside your computer that powers the BIOS. Try replacing it and see what happens.
