Crash screen then nothing but the splash screen loads
This means your never getting to the Operating system. Can you do any DOS hard drive diagnostics? I know a lot of my question depends on what kind of computer stuff you have from the past but many troubleshooting methods still attempt to see if hardware is working using Disk Operating System tools such as chkdsk and so.
If the DOS operating can not access the hard drive- it may not be spinning up or the boot sector may have been damaged by a trojan horse or virus. I have repaired the boot sector with a dos command before. There are many other issues that can also cause this it is not just one thing. It can be badly seated memory chips, capacitors on the motherboard that have puffed or leaked. I have even had a processor overheat due to fuzz and grease as it was used in the kitchen in the processor heat sink- cleaning is all it needed. If you can not get past the CMOS screen then that would point to a hardware problem. Just some thoughts- it probably needs to be seen by a good Computer Technician.
