    I have a Compaq Presario SR1000.
    It started to suffer BSOD.
    Now it will not load past Compaq start up screen and It will not let me access BIOS, Safe mode or Boot up mode etc.
    I have changed the hard drive.
    I have taken out the CMOS battery / reset motherboard jumper.
    No joy.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here a link I found similiar to your problem ...?? They have a discussion about it that gives some solutions and what to do to see what the fix or no fix might be.

    It must be RAM issue... at least I guess so :)
    take away 1 RAM stick. If that doesn't help then use only the second.

    Ad yeah, try to remove the modem.
