If you can't get into the BIOS setup, and you have a compelling reason to do so, you may want to update the firmware.
First find out what type of BIOS you have (it should say as soon as you power your computer on), or you can crack open the case and look at it. Go to their website and download the latest firmware version for it. (MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT ONE).
Once you flash your BIOS, you may be able to get into the setup program again. You may want to contact your computer manufacturer for assistance.

the technique you're employing to repair this pc is amazingly like sitting interior the cockpit of a jet airplane and flipping each and every change to "discover the single which makes it fly." And now you're asking "which change do I hit to restoration each and every thing?" God merely is conscious! What situation are you fixing? Blinking cursors? Is that undesirable? You have been advised (by employing whom?) to apply fixboot bootcfg, chkdsk (you think of a element noted as "boot configuration" could by some potential be concerning to a boot situation?) And "different issues" for 5 hours? A linux disk to restoration a domicile windows equipment? then you reset the cmos with battery and jumper? That wipes out the cmos configuration, then you could desire to reconfigure it. i'm sorry i've got not got a "restoration" different than take the pc to somebody who is conscious a thank you to restoration computers. solid success.

This is a technical question which ordinarily requires a technician to resolve, so i'm assuming you understand the basics i.e. ESD
Short answers:
-Chip creep
-Dust
-CMOS fault
-BIOS fault
-Password
-other "hardware" problem (i.e. motherboard fault)
(fix these and you fix the problem)
Long answers:
Windows boots up from instruction from your harddrive. All instruction "before" windows boots up comes from a chip called the BIOS (this is called the POST test which checks all your hardware each time you turn your computer on). The BIOS chip is partly powered by a small battery (CMOS)
"Chip creep & BIOS" (chip creep is where some chips loosen themselves or becomes slightly detached from the motherboard due to heat and dust): Press the bios down firmly or take it out and use compressed air (from a can) and blow out any dust then put it back or 'replace' it
CMOS & Password: Pull the battery out then put it back or 'replace' it completely (also use compressed air). This 'may' also reset any password.
ESD = Electro Static Discharge = Electricity from you can 'toast' electronic components: earth yourself with an earth wrist strap
Note: what would really have helped is if you gave us the system manufacturers brands for the computer, bios & motherboard

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
