Last night I powered up a rig I built for a friend. It didnt repsond well at first, it showed the motherboard screen with the options to press for each menu. I pressed the menu button a few times before it let me in. Then when I had all of the settings right I exited and it restarted. Then the case alarm was going off and wouldn't stop. Now it wont respond to anything on the keyboard except 'press Tab to post'. When it does it goes through the memory check, ok. Then it says finding IDE devices. And it sits there. I left it for 20 minutes. And still nothing. I thought maybe I screwed up a setting but I cant get back to fix it. So I dont know what to do. Every time I turn it on it still goes back to the original mobo screen and I can only get it to respond to 'Tab'.
Should I reset it? How do I do that? Pull the back up battery and leave it for a bit? Help me out here. I really wanted it built by last night but I just cant figure this out. +rep to anyone that can get me through this.
Thanks.
