Try booting up with only what you need. CPU, PSU, graphics and memory - no hard drive

Have you tried resetting the CMOS?

Take the small battery on your motherboard out and put it back in. Usually found at the bottom. That should reset everything.

Or you could just short the 2 & 3 CMOS pins and reset it much easier. Or on some motherboards if you hold Insert when you boot up and you should be able to change everything back to default.
