My Computer is Stuck on Intel Boot Screen! How do I Fix?

I've had my computer for a while now its been working fine and yesterday it crashed and now when i boot it up it goes to the intel boot screen with the intel logo on the upper right side and the intel pentium inside in the lower right. I press delete to get to my BIOS but it gets stuck on entering setup. I searched for a while trying to find a fix and once i actually got to my BIOS but I'm not sure how. I changed my boot device order to what it said on the website which did fix it for a small amount of time. But now it is still broken and I can't get to safe mode even (it doesn't load far enough). So now I'm stuck and need a lot of help so I can get my computer back up and running again please help!My Computer is Stuck on Intel Boot Screen! How do I Fix?
Since I don't know the manufacturer of your PC, I will have to guess at this one. This sounds like either one of the DIMM(memory modules) or the actual CPU chip is defective or at least not installed correctly. An incorrectly installed memory module or processor can cause the system to still partially work, but freeze during boot. You may want to have an A+ or MSCE certified technician look at this. If the system was purchased through Best Buy, you should be able to take the system back to their Geek Squad guys and have them fix this issue. This is the ';best-case'; scenario. There is also the possibility that the processor chip (CPU) may even have a bent pin on either the base of the chip or in it's motherboard ZIF socket. This is the ';worst-case'; scenario. If this is the case, you may be looking at the purchase of another system. If so, have a certified A+ or MSCE tech remove the hard drive in your system and copy the contents of it to a DVD or USB flash drive so that you have not lost all of your data and can transfer this data to a new system. Without knowing further details on your system, like the manufacturer, which Intel Pentium version it is (ie. Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 etc.) it is hard to tell help you pin down what the exact problem could be. Hopefully this helps though.
