How much can a mother board cost? i guess my bios chip is soldered to the board. Can it be replaced? Can i boot form a usb key?

I cant boot windows 7 any more. in put the dvd in started the pc but the installation wont start. any suggestions again. i really need help.
>> Can it be replaced? << see my post
>> Can i boot form a usb key? << since the BIOS is Kaput - the BINARY Input OUTPUT System does not work, so nothing will work
again, read my posts, and the sites i linked to !

Thanks alot for the help , i think this should be ma next step.
so my initial post still applies
Just a thought, have you tried an external monitor as you say there is no output on the screen? Probably not going to work but worth a quick try.

issue is not resolved
i gave correct answer to your question, and as such i expect an A grade, since we cannot perform a repair from here
if the answer is no , you cannot, that is valid..

This happened to my Lenovo, guess what?
i tried to reboot windows 7 and it rebooted and installation succeeded then after restart i can see my bios and windows
If you can't boot tell me ?
