Can you start in Safe Mode?

If so, run a MalwareBytes scan in Safe Mode...

No can do.

No can do.

If it won't run in Safe Mode and you're not ready for a full wipe /
clean install, there are a few things to try...

Ultimate Boot CD4 has excellent AV / Spyware / Rootkit Utils on a
bootable CD.

IF only the BIOS would turn up.

IF only the BIOS would turn up.

The most common keys are F2 and Delete. You have to hit them before the
BIOS turns over control to Windows, of course.

If the standard key for your computer doesn't work, then the problem is
most likely not in Windows. The safest thing might be to try with a wired
keyboard & mouse, if you don't have that now...
