potential bad mobo?

Hello, I have a mobo that has on-board vid. When loading totally bare (no cards), I get 1-3-3-1 beep sets. I place a memory stick in, and I get 0 beeps, but no vid. I placed a pci vc in and finally received vid on monitor. However, it is stuck on the dang HP BIOS splash screen. I boot and press a couple of key combinations and I am able to see the POST info, and at the bottom, entering setup. But it never does. Am I dealing with a bad mobo here?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Yes, I tried resseting the CMOS, removing the battery and letting it sit for a spell then replacing the battery and trying to restart again all with the same result.

    If I hit the key combinations early enough, I get the POST screen and at the bottom it says Entering Setup. However, it just stays at that screen indefinitely.

    If I am late in hitting the key combination, I get the HP splash screen with Entering Setup in black at the bottom showing indefinitely. If I wait to long though, it will just stick at the HP splash screen.

    Thank you again for any help.

    Do you disconnect the power cable to the wall when you reset the CMOS?
