Solve : gateway boot issue?

1.	Solve : gateway boot issue?
Answer» A friend brought his g-way over to the house and said he had a virus....it will bring up the black logo screen and boot MENU f10 and bios settings f2 but will do NOTHING else. I noticed that it could only detect the mouse after I CHECKED the hard drive connections??? He told me that working with the mouse eventually come up, but I have been at it for over an hour with no luck................any ideas??Don't think this is completely due to a virus. Sounds like a hardware issue. that's what I was thinking; my train of thought would be mobo; I don't have my test tools with me, I'll have to go to the shop for them. I tried all of the usb ports and do not get any success at them randomly. the only way it will detect the mouse is at start up, if you unplug it and plug it back in, it will not read it. Another INDICATOR is nothing is detected on the keyboard (lights.etc cap locks) So, I am assuming no power GOING there at this time.
