Restarted Garbage box(GBX), and having a bios issue. Will goto HP bios screen and freeze, if I press ESC fast enough I reach the black screen menu (both pictured). I've tried reseating everything, CMOS reset both battery and jumper switch, startup while holding windows key and B/V, checked to make sure psu is adequate.

 

The Garbage Box specs

Built up from a HP pro 3400 series mt

 

Mobo: Foxconn 2abf 

OS: windows 7

Cpu: Intel i7-2600k 3.4ghz

Memory: 8gb(2x4) ddr3 1333mhz dual channel

Gpu: PNY GeForce Gtx 560ti founders 1gb

Psu: Corsair CX 750

Storage: 500gb ssd, 1tb spinny boi (last check showed them with about 50%-60% free)

 

 

 

How can I remedy the Garbage Box?

Try booting without your graphics card installed, with your monitor connected to your motherboard's display outputs.

Can you make itinto the BIOS Menu? If not try disconnecting the drives and try again. If it works this time around, then the drive has some sort of corruption.

If the BIOS is trying to populate bootable device entries and it get's stuck on one, some BIOS's will just lock up. Doesn't mean the drive is bad, just means that there is a error in the partition, partition table, or mbr it's trying to read from.
