am back from uni atm and have been using my family computer a bit. for some reason all the graphics were horrible so i uninstalled the forceware drivers, rebooted, installed the latest ones (94.24), rebooted and lo and behold the graphics were back to normal. all good i thought. got a bit obsessed with fixing the computer so uninstalled some games my brother didn't use anymore. one of them asked me to reboot, so i told it to go ahead. except it won't boot anymore. it registers the gpu, gets to the screen where it shows the a8n sli deluxe splash and says press del to enter setup, and stops. it'll quite happily sit there and not do anything for hours. any ideas?

the mobo is an a8n sli deluxe, the gpu is a 6600 (i think, possible 6800?) and its a pentium 4 3ghz. not sure why it would have done this but naturally my dad is blaming me ;p any help would be appreciated.
 
haha is it not? what is?
ok, so just before i was gonna take out the graphics card i thought i'd try it again. and it booted. which was nice. however, now it asks for the drivers for (in this order): sm bus controller, other pci bridge device, pci memory controller. actually, thinking about it, it asked for those after i reinstalled the graphics drivers. now what?
