Here is a little history. Recently, my HP Desktop PC was hung-up on the Boot
Screen (where the BIOS set-upcan be accessed). I manually powered the PC
down. From that point, no more power on, and the power light on the power
supply began to flash. Well, I figured the power supply had died. Got a new
one and installed it tonight. PC powered up just fine, but it gets on the
BIOS boot-up screen again and just stays there indefinitely. I power off,
and put in a boot CD, and it won't even go to that load (DVD drive light is
accessign it ok, it appears). I had some problems getting the power
connector back on the hard drive, but it appears to be secured. Why won't it
start loading Windows XP? Is this symptomatic of a hard drive failure or no
power to the hard drive? If so, why can't I even get a boot load off a CD?
Frustrated and needing help. Thanks in advance.
