I just got myself a coolermaster Centurion 590.

I swapped everything, as it was, but now, it only goes to the Green Biostar screen (press del for setup)

now everything works, but I cant press Del for some reason?

My keyboard is not working, and It does not go past the press Del page..

What should I do?

The Computer boots, up to the Biostar screen (Press Del enter setup)

then it stops there.

Doesnt go any further.

And I cant press Del to go into my BIOS, as maybe my HD changed order... (I press Caps lock, and that doesnt light up, so im assuming my keyboard doesnt work either...)

I tried resetting the CMOS, and that doesnt help...

It also doesnt beep, to show that its posted...

Please guys, my dad will kill me. He said to give it to a computer guy, but i said no, i want to do it, so it all my fault (But IDK what ive dont wrong???)

no its probably jsut your keyboard what are you on now? take the keyboard and plug it into that
youd still be able to get into bios even if your hdd was fried
how many HDDs are installed? if more then 1 try unplugging all but the main
were you running vista before ?
vista has had problems with switching around HDDs i think they have fixed that now because i didnt have to reinstall last mobo swap

Do you maybe think the Drive with windows fried or wasnt connected properly?
Click to expand...

literally you mean your computer hangs @ post BIOS screen.I don't think your drive with windows is fried up.
Solutions:-
Check RAM it slotted properly.
Check HDD Cables.
Just check up power fan cable is plugged properly.
Re-install Coolmaster and refer its manual for installing.

I know this sound like a hassle but I would pull everything out and just Frankenstein it. If you still have the problems you knows it not the case (grounding issues) From there I would just try to start with the bare minimum (1 hard drive, 1 stick of ram, use onboard video if applicable and so on)

I agree with this totally if you maybe missed a riser in the case it can cause a short and so on and so forth. One little miss hap can create a big catastrophe.

I tried booting with no RAM, there where no beeps...

So i think its my mobo, but them how does it get to the pre post screen?

My GFX card, network card, CD drive, all that jazz is still working, it just doesnt get past that point... (Biostar screen, where you can press Del to enter BIOS)

I feel like such a n00b.

I put the Front I/O audio plug on 3 instead of 4 pins.

Thanks for the swift replies guys.

Nice to know you are willing to help a guy in need

wow strange that that would cause the computer not to boot up. I would have guessed that the cmos battery was dead or really low.
