Boot up problem: Custom PC

TGxMister

Here's the deal:
I bought a new PC from HWVS less than two months ago and I tried booting it up last night but it wouldn't go past the screen where it shows the motherboards brand, MSI. It won't let me access the BIOS menu or anything. Any ideas how to fix it?

Quick overview of specs:
AMD FX-6300 Six Core Processor @ 3.5GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 @ 2GB
1TB HDD with about 700 GB remaining free space
8GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
MSI 760GA-P43 mainboard.
Hope this helps, need a reply fast!

Try pressing tab (or whatever the key is to "show POST information") and see what stage the system freezes at. I would also try reseating the memory (RAM), could be something as simple as a loose module

Thanks for the tip, I couldn't log in on Boards for a while though.
It turned out that I can't leave my printer plugged in while my computer is off, if I do it won't boot up.

Probably not the printer but its card reader... Seen i before, some computers just won't boot with a USB drive plugged in.
