When turning my computer on it shows the splash screen for the motherboard and will freeze there. The bios will not come up and neither will safe mode. The only way I can get it to proceed to the "A" drive to boot the rest of the way up is to eject the cd rom in and out several times. I checked for loose connections and could find none. This one has me puzzled, any help would be greatly appreciated.
