[SOLVED] My neighbour's PC stuck on Asus screen

Operating Systems & Open Source Windows
1

About a week ago, my neighbour brought her friend's PC here for me to "fix" since I've fixed a few minor things in the past on other PC's.
The problem with this one is it gets stuck on the screen where it has the "ASUS" logo in the top left, "intel" logo in the bottom right, "P5PE-VM" in the bottom center and "Press DEL to run Setuo, Press TAB to display BIOS POST Message" under all that, if I press nothing, nothing happens, so far, if I press DEL, all it says is:
AMIBIOS (C) 2006 American Megatrends, Inc etc. about the pc

Under that is:
Entering SETUP ...
DDR Frequency etc.
Checking NVRAM...
504 MB OK (Installed Memory Size:512 MB

after a while it goes into BIOS, about 3-4 minutes I'd guess and after putting in the CD (tired USB earlier) it doesn't boot from it even when I set it to boot from said device.

What can I do?

Unplug it. Reset the CMOS by pulling the 3.3v battery, or using the jumper. Give it another shot. You will have to reconfigure the BIOS afterwards.

Nevermind, pressed TAB and waited, pressed the OTHER CD drive and it was the one with the CD, haha, should I delete the post? It's installing now....aaaaand it says there's now HDD installed

Considering it's solved, closed it for you. :)
