    I have got a desktop Dell Optiplex GX270,,,,,it was working fine without any problem till I stored it in our shed room for a while.

    Now when I boot the PC it hangs as shown in the snapshot below :

    About 5 minutes after the second screen above it says:



    What I did
    1- I upgraded the BOIS from A04 to A07
    2- I could not find an option for BOIS default setup
    3- I removed the motherboard battery for about half an hour
    4- I removed one of the RAM stick
    5- I can access CMOS by pressing F2
    6- I tried to eliminate the possibility of a hardware that caused the problem I removed CD rom drive and floppy drive but no luck.
    Thanks

    so you are able to get into the bios .. Do you have a setup cd with XP or other OS install disk ?
