I was having some tempurature problems and decided to clean out the case. I made the idiotic mistake of not making sure the processor fan power harness was pushed all the way down to the board. I turned on the computer and after POST I got the message "processor failure powering down", so I powered it down and looked and secured the power clip. I waited a while and turned back on. The HP blue screen came up with the options boot menu, setup, diagnostics, recovery. (normal for boot up) After that screen a black screen came up with a _cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It stays there and does nothing. On the blue screen the only option I got to work is setup. When the setup menu came up the keyboard would not respond even for exit/save. I thought I would flash the bios but could not find the bios for my motherboard (ASUS M2N68-LA(NARRA3) ). Is there a chance it is not a burnt out processor and just BIOS or MB drivers?
