To add to before i left the machine unplugged for an hour then did another cmos reset and then started it off AC power with the HDD in and instead of the flashing cursor got a message saying "press escape for start menu" however nothing happened when i pressed escape, this is the 2nd motherboard so i don't believe the issue could be in the bios. hope this rings bells for someone and they can tell me how they solved this issue
