Help me out, guys. Desktop computer with ECS mobo model GF7050VT-M5 with 3 GHz Pentium procie was brought to me. No signs of life. All parts on the mobo look good, and there are no bloated capacitors there. But I see a bloated capacitor in the power supply, so I change it with a fresh PSU. I changed the CMOS battery, and also reset the CMOS, and now the thing boots. I hear the short "OK" beep from the internal speaker. However, the process hangs after it shows the USB Controllers have been initialized and that RAM is good. I don't get the message "Failed to load the Operating System, Press any key to try again" or words to that effect if I have disconnected the hard drive (which I always used to get in all other systems I've looked at with no or corrupted hard drive). I can't get past this point, and the keyboard is frozen so I can't enter the BIOS. I tried a PS/2 and a USB keyboard, didn't help a thing.
I've also taken voltage readings off the PSU supply lines and everything's within spec.
Any suggestions?
