remove your harddrive, and all aux drives...all you need is video card, ram, cpu and keyboard...boot it up, same thing?

SET CRTL ALT DEL = #728

Do you show a "Press del to enter setup", or is F2 the normal way to enter setup? Try "del" as soon as it tries to boot up. Is this a new installation, or a problem that has just appeared? Is the BIOS jumper (clear/run) in the right position?

>>It always has F2, the jump is the run position

Have you tried clearing the CMOS and then rebooting?

The "plug and play" controller is part of the motherboard. Is this a desktop or laptop?

It is a desktop.

Can you boot into "safe mode" F8 - on boot?
