Computer Bios Issue

[Phobia]

So I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I've googled my little heart out and I've finally hit a wall with what is going on.

So I threw a old pc build of mine back together to make into a home media center. Problem I'm having is pretty odd.

1) Bios is normally blue, it is now yellow and black
2) I threw win 10 ISO on a bootable USB to install windows. It will launch to windows 10 logo BUT its green and it locks there with no spinning dots
2) I then noticed, it's not picking up any hard drive whether set to sata or ide (and hooked up either way) Surely why it hangs, no where to install windows. I've tried two different known working hard drives.
3) I threw most updated bios on usb to flash the bios and it shows No BootMgr found.
4) Reset CMOS jumper and zero change

So a couple things are throwing me.......WHY is the bios color different......plus leading into windows being a different color (green win logo). Next, something is going on with Bios in general, it keeps seeing a floppy drive and there is no floppy in this build.

Anyone have any more ideas for me to run through. I'm about out of my own.

So everything seems to be leading me to a power issue.

Current bios reading
Vcore - 1.3
Memv - 1.8
+3 - 3.3
+12 - 12.2

One thing I noticed, the bios doesn't even display a +5v rail. Now my question would be, did the bios never display a 5v reading OR is it not showing due to no power coming from the 5v rail so essentially its reading 0 and not displaying anything?

Notice yellow color and no 5v reading

My bios is black or grayish in color. Could be a few things.

1. Corrupt file on the flash drive.

2. Bad USB port.

3. The battery on your old motherboard has died and it's not saving any settings.

4. Power supply not working right.

Red is not a issue

Yellow I will check more in a sec, but I do believe it is holding settings.

Green is what I'm leaning towards.

My problem is that the bios appears just like this normally (blue background yellow text)


Whatever has occurred in this build has caused yellow text with black background. I can't even find a single picture online of someone elses bios looking the same way.

So it gets a little more strange.

I decided to test and see if my CMOS battery was still good and holding settings.

Some settings hold fine and others change

1) Data & time = Holds perfect
2) First boot device = Always comes up as Floppy 1
3) I can disable floppy controller and remove floppy from the boot order and upon power off/on it will always put floppy controller back on and floppy as 1st boot device. The crazy thing, there is not even a floppy in this system. It doesn't even have a optical drive of any kind.

Stumped

I have a computer with 16mg of ram. One of the ram sticks went bad and having that still in there created all types of issues. Crazy Bios stuff that I never would have dreamed having a bad memory stick could cause.

I deleted a bunch of stuff, formatted hard drives, checked everything on the motherboard, etc.

It was brutal.


So I would check that.

Threw a new CMOS battery in and boom problem fixed.......amazing that it wasn't just resetting the ever time I flipped the switch to power supply. Instead time would hold find even if I let power discharge for a while thinking thats how it was maintaining the time/date. Put new battery in and it instantly picked up hard drive and even no longer shows a floppy in the machine.

Strange strange.
