If you hold down shift key from BIOS until menu, do you get menu? Then can you boot recovery mode?

Did you install proprietary Video drivers or something else before rebooting?

i kinda solved the problem, there is one trick - you take instalation cd and put inside, then turn on computer, wait 10 - 15 seconds and put out cd. then it boots. otherwise no. is not perfect solution but what to do....

That may be a BIOS setting. What device do you have booting first, second etc.

You can change hard drive to first and then if you want to boot CD there is usually a one time boot key (f12 on my system) that will let you boot what ever devices BIOS sees.
