Pc wont boot up, screen stuck at packard bell loogo screen with f2 and f3 and f8 options but nothing happenning

Please check your game setup.

Hi, try pressing F2.

Thanks!

Enter the BIOS configuration, pressing F2, F10, F1 or DEL at boot. At the BIOS screen, go through the pages, there will be an option to set everything to optimized defaults, save and reboot.

WOW, this sounds so familiar, try changing the CMOS battery, I got the same exact error mess in a old packard bell i refurbished for a friend and a simple change of the cmos batter solved the issue, it even let me install xp with not problem,, its worth a try.... :)

hi if you have a windows xp system you should try to boot by menu
pressing f8 at bios boot screen to select the option that fits better to your needs
since you are not giving more detail of what happened to your system..
you can try also a do a recovey thru the discs restoration or at boot thru recovery partition if you have it include in your hard drive..
sincerely:inggalaxia dont forget to give a comment a vote thanks.

You may need BIOS update. Check your CMOS time at bios page.
If time is wrong, set it up and try again. If this is solved the problem, change the CMOS battery.

I think This is BIOS problem so
open CPU box and clear bios settings...
oterwise change tha mother board

put the bootable xp cd in your cd rom then turn it on. it will boot up automatically if the cd will be bootable and your boot sequence is correct.

option f2, go into bios setup and see if the hard drive is listed or detected. Auto detect hard drive save and exit. System will reboot if the same error occurs then the hard drive master boot record is probably corrupt or the hard drive has totally failed.

you have to set the hard drive first if there is any one detected if not there is bad hard drive and you have to replace it
