When the computer POSTS, the text has misspelled words. When I went into the BIOS, the words are also misspelled and computer won't complete the boot process

Can you give a more specific example ?

Now that is strange. You might want to clear out your CMOS and reboot. You need to remove the battery and follow directions in your manual for resetting CMOS. This typically involves changing a jumper setting on your motherboard for 5 to 10 seconds which resets the CMOS to factory defaults. Replace battery and then reboot making sure you go into your BIOS during reboot. You will probably need to tinker with some of the settings that have changed due to the reset.
