Right so my brother has told me over the phone the following:
His PC worked perfectly fine this morning. He shut it down when he got up and went to work. When he arrived home from work it doesn't work anymore.
The motherboard does a single beep indicating the hardware is fine.
It shows the initial splash screen (showing intel amongst other things in his case), then shows the 'press Del to enter setup' screen and at that instant it freezes. This means he can't enter BIOS settings, advanced startup options or anything. The computer keeps running but he can't do a thing.
He's tried resetting the CMOS, both with and without the battery in, and he's tried removing various bits of hardware just in case. And he now is out of ideas. He has an ASUS P5QE.
Any thoughts?
