Default Very Strange Screen...

My buddy sent this to me last night, his computer did this to him... There's something a little odd with it, see if you can notice it.

I just love that it says "keyboard failure - press F1 to continue or F2 to run setup" As though with a keyboard failure that would be possible...

I used to get that all the time in my 3D modeling class. The fix was to yank out the power cord from the back of the PC. Obviously my teacher wasn't the brightest person...

i'll admit it is a crazy screen, but in fairness it does also come up if your keyboard isn't plugged in correctly, so pushing it in and pressing f1 will work. so to some extent it does work
