Locks at Asus splash screen

[rtomas99]

Stupid thing. I inadvertently knocked my PC with my knee causing it to lock up. Had to cold boot to restart. However, it hung at Asus splash screen not allowing any further progress. F1 or F2, nor DEL, nor CNTRL/ALT/DEL would work. I can get into bios if I first clear it, then reboot. Everything in bios seems correct and being reported normally. Memory sticks are posted normally as is the CPU data. However, saving and rebooting only gets me back to the splash screen. Of course, the hard drives and windows boot manager have no input here because it doesn't boot that far.
I've reseated memory sticks and graphics card with no change noted.
Did I fry something when it got knocked? How do I tell and/or find it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

As opposed to frying it...I think there is a better chance that you knocked something loose.

I would unplug...open case and go through EVERYTHING....disconnect.....inspect....reconnect....everything.

Maybe save the CPU (because it can be the biggest pain) for last in case it's something else.

Does it report the hard drives in the BIOS as boot options?
I'm thinking you knocked loose a SATA connector to your hard drive(s).

Yes. Bios shows all the drives. I checked all the cables and all seem fine. Disabling all the HD's does nothing to the outcome since it never gets to where it starts the boot drive.
