Hello, I am new here. so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area. I have a problem with one of my PC's. This Computer is a Lenovo 8700. It all started with the dreaded Anti-Malware Doctor virus. After getting this thing, I searched on the net for a way to get rid of it. My first find with to end it's process through windows task manager. Well this virus disables the task manager. Search two suggest disabling it in safe mode, so I restart the computer, press the Ctrl key and select safe mode. the computer starts to boot and then suddenly starts rebooting and continues the endless boot loop process. I shut down the computer by holding down the power button until it shuts down. Then I try to reboot again, but now it just continues the reboot process again. Once again I turn it off. Next time I turn It on, Black screen on monitor, No keyboard or mouse. CPU Fan is running, Hard drive is running. So I search for a remedy for my new problem and find the reset cmos option. I find the cmos reset on the motherboard ans switch it from Pins 1&2 to pins 2&3, restart the computer and hear the beeps, This had no affect on my problem. So I tried the remove th cmos battery and unplugging the computer. Still no affect. I checked the voltages 3.3v, 5v, and 12v. results were within range.Switched ram, removed all cards. unplugged all drives and I am using monitor and keyboard and mouse with another computer to type this. Still nothing. Any suggestions.

Will the machine allow you to boot into the BIOS...? I don't know what key yours is. but many are "delete". Whatever key it is, power on and keep pressing it until you get a "prepare to enter setup" (or similar) message.
