I need to get into the Bios of my p6112p, when I hit F10 it says entering the configurat​ion &doesnt?

Question

I have a hp p6112p that was stuck by lightning. I had to replace the motherboard to get the power supply to turn on. The computer then goes to the Bios start up screen and when you hit F10 it say entering the configuration but never does just stay on the same screen. I replaced the CPU. Same problem. I had my hard drives tested and both are ok. I was told by the company that I purchased the MB from that my memory most likely wasnt compadible. I have tried super talent, g.skill, & acer and no memory worked. I called the company I got the MB again and he said it isnt a defective MB because I and getting to the start up of the Bios screen. He still says its the memory and that Its not like I am a computer store were I have 20 different brands I can try until I find one thats compadible. Can somebody PLEASE HELP ME???? I really am at witts end! Thanks

Hello reblthepit, HP systems are a bit picky about what memory will work in a HP system.
You might want to go to Crucial.com and run their memory configurator and let Crucial advise the memory that is certified compatible with your system. This takes the guessing out of trying to purchase memory that is supported for your system.
Just because the motherboard will boot the start of the bIOS does not neccessarily tell you a lot. If you had some memory issues, and no memory was recognized by the BIOS, you would be getting some beep error codes.
If the motherboard was not a genuine HP Provided motherboard, it will not work with the HP provided operating system. You would need to purchase a new operating system.
You also could not just replace the motherboard and try to start the system without a new installation of the operating system. There would just be too many driver conflicts.
Just some thoughts.
