Help please.

Hello everyone i just built my computer and started it everything seemed fine. Instead of booting to the bios it just goes to a screen that says hardware monitor.

any ideas of what is wrong? any help would be appreciated.


When i insert the windows vista disk it acts like its booting windows vista, but it just sits at a screen with my mouse on it.

When starting up the computer, press
<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) to enter the BIOS setup utility.

Tell Biostar to turn off the iritating music on their website.

Honestly, I didn't believe you. Oh my... my beautiful ears... now... lost...... forever... such horrible sounds coming from that site.

Start hitting the key as soon as you power up (one time per second). Do you have any CDs in your drives?

Alright sweet man i got to the bios ^_^ but now its still doing the wierd boot for vista instead of asking me to select a partition and all that.

 

[mikesgroovin]

Ok, Are you trying to install an OS? Trying to boot an already loaded OS?

 

[iPhone]

yeah a clean install there is no OS on the HD, but when i boot from the vista disk, it acts like the OS is loading instead of asking me to format my HDD and all that jazz

Do you have multiple drives (two DVD/CD-ROM drives)? You might be placing the disk into the wrong one.

If not, let's get into your BIOS and work from there.

(if at all possible, do you have ventrilo? MSN voice? Do you have a mic? or can I give you my cell number?... honestly, I hate working real time via 1998 standards (text).. it's very slow for me and I get fidgity)

I assume you took your pics from your iphone. If thats the case, you could send the ones you are looking at now in real time to mine (or my email and I will pull them from there)

If you have a mic and ventrilo:
