I had a look at this and switched the ribbon cable with the one that came with the Mobo, however I am still having the same problem, along with the same errors. As for any bent pens, there are none on the Mobo or the hard-drive itself. I removed the CMOS battery and let the computer sit for 5 mins, then put the battery back in. Still I get the CMOS error. And still it will make it to the screen where it says "Scan Devices, Please Wait" and will go no farther. Pressing the "Tab" key like it says to get into the user window doesnt work either. I have already checked the keyboard and know it works.

Appreciate all the help I can get!
