Hi,
Bit of background about my issue:
I decided to clean inside the case (Desktop PC), clean the dust out etc, noticed the cpu heatsink was clogged up with the stuff as was the graphics card heatsink (it hadn't been done in a long time!). Did all this with the upright vac on the carpet, had to take the cpu fan off to get in, took the graphics card out and sucked the crappy dust out, etc. Once all back in place, plugged back in and.....I got to the logo of the first screen to appear (American Megatrends) - where usually while this is showing before Windows boots, there's all the technical info as bios loads its stuff. The screen just stays frozen on that logo.
Did I do something wrong?
Can I reset the Bios/Cmos or something if I gave it some static from the info described above? Maybe it's something entirely different, but was working fine before....only thing I can think of.
How to get around this issue via someone's help would be much appreciated!
