Well miracles do sometimes happen; I moved to jumper again to clear the RTC RAM and hey presto it booted up! so first I set the BIOS and then loaded Win10 and all seems ok - so far. Thanks for your help anyway. So it was a combination of flat battery from standing and clearing the RTC RAM (no...

I changed the battery 'cos that was dead, and yes I was in USB 3.0 so moved to USB2.0; I have Win10 on flash and disc so put them both in, then I tried the Mo'bo' load disc - still nothing! as sain it goes F1 setup F8 Defaults Checking NVRAM - nothing!? The boot was set to load from Flash...

I reset the BIOS again, unplugged everything then plugged in my new SSD and Win10 install dongle and after throwing up the BIOS lauch photo after a few seconds it runs through som DOS ending F1 setup F8 defaults the chose a drive to start but nothing after that and just a flashong hyphan then...

Yes it does have intergrated graphics and a jumper to reset the BIOS. Even when it did work at first it sometimes did use the Quadro 4000 somtimes not; Various bits didn't seem to be working right from the start. Had no trouble at all when I build the 1st 2 so I do think it's a duff mo'bo'.

Unplugged all anciliaries and removed video card - nothing. Yes I think it's the mo'bo' 'cos it's the only thing I didn't already have from my old PC; so I bought another exactly the same as the one I have but I believe it was used - and I didn't get round to doing anything with it for must be 2...

Well as I said in the first place "I t happens on boot and pressing F1, F8 or delete does nothing".

Does anyone know how to fix this? I t happens on boot and pressing F1, F8 or delete does nothing. Note it is boot mCr not boot mGr; and no I don't want to take it to a shop.

Yes it would show that my previous foresight putting in big bits was worthwhile. Hadn't thought about the 2018 trial version ; but would that overwrite my 2013 Student version, render that unless and commit me to 2018 or nothing? Alternatively I partly built another PC with the 4-core and other...

Oh right, my mistake; but I've never had to wait for the card/graphics so maybe it's quicker than me lol. Until it appears to be holding me up no point in changing it?

Thanks; I don't really get into rendering just mechanical parts and assemblies. I have the most RAM that m'brd can take. As I understand it this video card is/was pretty high powered for serious gaming so I thought it should be able to handle anything I'm doing. I'll have dig deeper into specs...
