What exactly did you do? Details are important.
You cannot summarize the problem. It just makes the problem much too vague.Really not sure what was done prior to hitting F8 (restore defaults) but the system is coming up to screen where it says F2 to enter set up and stays there whether you hit F2 or not the screen says CPU = 2 processorss
detected, Cores per processor = 4 Intel Xeon (R) CPU      E5310 1.6 GHz                                      TCG is enabled                              2048M System RAM Passed        FB-DIMM 533MHz                  Press (F2) to enter SETUP                                       Any idea where to go from here  please help if you can affraid we will mess it up worse if we CONTINUE not knowing It's been 3 weeks and the problem continues? Hmmm....

Do you have the Windows XP CD?

What happened before the problem? (installs/downloads/changes in settings ect...)well 3 weeks just sitting idle  had alot going on ect. But I havent even had the system on line my wife said the mouse quit working and she tried to "fix" not sure what she did but sthe system would go into boot process and would say something to the effect of can't find host I believe . Now it wont go into setup  it just stays on the screen I describedI have an xp disc for my other computer is xp 64 different disc
