Has the computer ever worked? What were you doing the last few days before
the problem started? Have you tinkered inside the comp or added any new
devices or changed cables around on the inside of the comp? How old is your
monitor, although you said your HDD was spinning and not booting up so the
problem is probably not your monitor.
You really need to try to take the HDD out and put in another one to see if
you can access bios then.Well, you don't really have to take it out. Just
unplug it and set the new one to the side and plug it up long enough to
boot.
And no, you technically cannot delete bios or even hurt bios unless you were
really trying hard to do so.
