Recently, my desktop computer will show checking NVRAM and it just lagging and not responding at all (although I press DEL or F1)
I try to unplug my ram(DDR2) and my graphic card, but it seems not function too.
Is that the motherboard problem?

Second, why sometimes when I start the computer, the screen show no signal?
The wire is function for my laptop?
I google it some informations said that maybe power input is not stable or motherboard problem too. How can I test for my motherboard?

Thanks for those who kindly solve my problems.:)
 
NVRam is the memory used when the computer is tuned off so this is not RAM. You can try to reset your BIOS to fail-safe defaults by removing power and th eback-up battery for a while.

I've done a small search on google and yes it does seem like it's a motherboard issue.

About your screen issue, can you please clarify if your laptop is connected to a screen via wire?

Is that every desktop computer must have backup battery?
Thanks dude for your answers.
Ya, I connected to a screen via the wire. So, what is the problem?

Yes. All of desktop and laptop must have backup battery for BIOS; otherwise, it won't save your setting and clock. Unsaved BIOS clock can ruin windows clock, sometime not always.

lol, now my monitor can show up the screen, but the another problem is now it show 00 usb mass storage devices found and configured and it hangs again!! I feel so mad now (the point is I can't use the keyboard enter bios mode, I don't know why it's not respond although the screen show I had choose bios mode)

WHat have you done since I posted the instructions? Did you follow them?

If not, and it just died, I guess (not sure though) that you have a dead motherboard... Wait for other answers from other members though :)

I do follow your instructions carefully!!!!
But I don't know why it still show up 00 usb mass storages devices found and configured and checking NVRam
How long do I remove the backup battery and power?
 
Sorry for the few replies, I'm having a lot of things to do. I just googled your problems and found some things to try out. I'll get back to you soon.

To me it seems that a component is failing but we'll see how it goes.

I'll post soon.
 
This is something I found on google:

The symptoms sound like many I have seen with failed filter capacitors on the motherboard.

Carefully inspect all of the electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard. (Colored cylinders with silver tops that have a "K" or "X" pattern.) The tops of these parts should all be flat. If any have bulged out on the top or sides, or if there is any sign of liquid at the bottom of the cap, the cap has failed and you need to either have the capacitors replaced or replace the motherboard.

As all motherboards are multi-layer boards, it requires special soldering skills and tools to remove the old parts without damaging the motherboard.
