PC won't go into BIOS
As the thread title says, my computer refuses to go into the BIOS. This happened several minutes after I plugged in and used an air conditioner I haven't used in several years. Since the motherboard has diagnostic LEDs, it was pretty easy to find out, but here's the guide:
Quote:
4 LEDs on = Power applied, checking CPU
3 LEDs on = CPU has been detected OK, checking RAM
2 LEDs on = RAM has been detected OK, checking VGA
1 LED on = VGA has been detected OK, entering BIOS
0 LEDs on = System has booted to the operating system

I'm stuck at the one in red. I have no idea what the sudden loss of power did, but it seems like it wiped the BIOS. Moving the jumper over to reset it didn't help and was wondering if there's anything I can do short of getting another motherboard.
Anyone know what I should do?
