I own an Ipason and cannot locate its model number. Here is the link to the purchase page from Newegg:
https://www.newegg.com/ipason-gamin...ck...ZEBGV98270
Description of the issue: After cleaning the hard drive and deleting several gigabytes, I encountered problems. The video stuttered and then froze into a BSOD. The error code was x0000098 or similar—after checking, it indicated corrupted Windows files.
To resolve this, I bought a USB drive, installed Linux Mint on it using a backup PC, and attempted to boot from USB. However, I couldn’t access the BIOS or boot menu. Now, when I turn on the PC, it powers up but nothing appears on the screen—no display of the IPASON logo.
I assumed the BIOS was separate from the hard drive. What’s happening? Any suggestions?

It stands apart from the hard drive. You ought to be able to fully detach all components except the CPU, RAM, and power unit while still being able to turn on and reach the BIOS settings. This implies the motherboard may be faulty, the power supply could be defective, or another hardware element is interfering.
What are the specifics of the motherboard model and the precise power supply model? The power supply’s details should be visible on the printed or decal labels on one side of the unit.
Was the information you removed from the same storage device where Windows is installed, or from another drive? I’m assuming you likely erased portions of the boot sector for Windows, particularly if you deleted certain partitions. However, this shouldn’t prevent the machine from starting and accessing the BIOS.
Consider disconnecting all storage devices, removing any graphics card if present, and then connect your display cable to the video output on the motherboard’s back panel. Proceed with these steps.
BIOS Hard Reset Process
Turn off the device, switch off the power supply unit, and detach the PSU cord from either the wall outlet or the power unit.
Take out the CMOS battery from the motherboard for roughly three to five minutes. In some instances, removing the graphics card might be required to access the CMOS battery.
While the CMOS battery is removed during this period, keep pressing the power button on the case continuously for 15-30 seconds to drain any remaining charge in the CMOS circuit. Once the five minutes have passed, reinsert the CMOS battery, ensuring it’s oriented correctly as it was removed.
If you had to remove the graphics card, you can reinstall it now, but be sure to reconnect all power connections, including the display cable.
After reassembly, plug the power supply back in, restore the PSU power, and restart the system. It should show the POST screen and provide options to enter CMOS/BIOS configuration. Launch the BIOS setup, adjust boot settings for Windows or legacy systems, and if needed, change drive settings such as Memory XMP, EXPO, A-XMP, or D.O.C.P profiles, fan profiles, or other custom configurations that were previously saved but lost during the reset.
Remember to save your changes and exit. If the system successfully POSTs and boots, you can continue refining BIOS settings for optimal performance.
In certain scenarios, after resetting the BIOS, it may be necessary to load default or optimal values to ensure hardware tables are restored in the boot manager.
It’s also important to note that if the issue stems from a missing video signal, attempting a different display type—such as HDMI—can be beneficial. This is because many systems fail to function properly with displayport setups. If you have no visual access or signal issues, testing another monitor can help confirm the problem.
In such cases, switching to an alternative monitor may resolve the issue effectively.
