Issues after power outage

[lorne]

Hi,
Im not sure what my problem is but maybe someone here can shed some lite....
my computer satrats up showing the memory check (goes very slowly) and then
at 256 MB it stops and does not go any further. at teh bottom of the screen
it says,
Network selected as first boot device for current boot.

If i hit the F1 key, it says entering startup but never gets there.

Wont boot from a floppy either (obviously).

Is there a way around this? Is there an issue with the mother board? maybe
the bios is fried? Can that be replaced/repaired?
So much for those 2.99 power surge protector power bars!!!!

:-(

Don't know if this will help but I would try to check

boot order in bios with mine when first screen appears I
hit delete key this opens bios and in advanced
configuration I belive is where boot order can be set mine
1st floppy (skips if no floppy inserted) 2nd 0 HDD (Hard
disk drive) 3rd cdrom your configuration may be different
but doesn't seem to me network would be a boot source that
would work. When in bios mouse won't work navigate with
arrows up down left right and enter key and Esc key. Hope
this helps.

It could be a number of different things, but without seeing it and testing
it, it's impossible to say.

Get into BIOS and check boot sequence.

A surge suppressor does not protect against power failures, a UPS
(Uniterruptable Power Supply) does.
