Hangs after verifying DMI Pool Data Screen

[Mr Ranger]

After installing a new power supply, my computer hangs just after verifying
DMI Pool Data. If I restart after unpluging power cord (and plugging back
in), when it gets to the DMI screen it says: "update Success" and loads as
normal. Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Mr Ranger

It sounds as though your new power supply is defective or perhaps the
connection to the motherboard is faulty. Did you buy a very cheap power
supply? First try a different power *cord* as that is the simplest
change. If that doesn't work, then try a different power supply, one
that is "known-good". If that gives problems also, then the power
supply connector on your motherboard is the culprit.

Malke, Checked all connections, replace power cord, tried a different
power supply, still having same problem. Since the problem repairs
itself when the power is unplugged, I'm wondering if it could be the CMOS
or something else that has memory that is lost when power is interrupted?

It is unlikely. Of course, you can always replace the motherboard
battery - they only cost around $3usd. That way you'd know. However, my
experience with the Evil God of Computers is that there is no way this
is going to be cheap and easy! ;-) Post back if you need more help.
