Best Answer

There are likely several CMOS settings that will heep a computer from booting. One of the most obvious is the password setting. If you make it require a password to boot the computer, it won't boot. Then there are the hard drive settings. If you disable the hard drive or the hard drive ports, then the computer won't boot. Then there are settings that should never be used for this, such as setting the memory and CPU clock to very unreasonable values.
