I think that is harware problem o motherboard problem.
If you have a working keyboard, plug in to see if your keyboard locked up again.
See if this works. Otherwise, it is other hardware problem.

Hmmm. It could be that your hard-drive is "dead",
or, at least _NOT_ signalling your BIOS that it is "ready".
A BIOS will "wait" for a hard-drive is spinning at its "normal"
speed, before proceeding. If your hard-drive is "dead",
it will never send a signal to your BIOS.
Or, it could be a loose "ribbon" cable between your hard-drive
and your motherboard. Check both ends of the ribbon-cable.
Try replacing the cable, too.

I agree with Otta. It is most likely a loose ribbon.
