Really weird problem...

When I try to turn on my computer, it just sits on the EneryStar screen. Sometimes if I push Esc, F1 or F8 it'll take me to one of their screens and it'll work fine after that. Other time those keys wont do a thing. Any ideas? I've been trying to get past that screen for the last 3 hours.
 
Do you see any message that says press xxx to view post screen? Im wondering if the motherboard splash screen is hiding the post screen where you may see your problem.
 
What else is it showing on the screen? Does it show your hard drive configuration etc like a normal post screen?
 
Could jsut be it's an older machine and takes a while to boot up. If there is a POST diagnostics screen available to view at boot-up, the option to switch from the splash screen will probably be in BIOS. My PC now is that way, i set it to show the POST instead of the splash screen.
 
I changed mine to show the Post and not the MB splash. I like to see what it's loading... Let me take a picture of it, hold on.
 
It's not really an old computer. Hasn't even past the one year mark.
