    I had a similar problem few weeks ago. Turns out a faulty external hard was causing it to freeze up. Try restarting with only keyboard and mouse plugged in. If that doesn't work I think you'll need to reset the cmos.

    Check manual :) Usually there's a jumper that needs to be placed to Clear CMOS position. Am sure it's in the MB handbook.
