Blinking cursor

[Guest]

I have a strange issue
Computer is a HP XW 6000 . It is a workstation with Windows xp Prof with sp 1 and 4 gig of ram , Xeon processor P4 . At the end of the day I had relogged of the computer and in the morning when the user start to power the computer , you see the hp logo and then right after it you see a blinking cursor on the top left hand side . that is it . You power the computer and the same symptons .you cannot see the windows xp logo or you cannot even go farther to get to the F8 . we had seen on another computer , same specs. Looked at the hardrive ,consistency was good , Did a recovery console ran fixboot , ran fixmbr , ran system repair , nothing seems to fix it .

Also checked the boot.ini file it was good , called hp then did not know what was causing this

Pls help

the problem is that your computer is too powerful.

This is an attempt only; it's not a definite answer.

Try running the computer and see if it will boot with no external devices
hooked up. (Just have the monitor, keyboard, and mouse hooked up.) If this
fails, try disconnecting all internal IDE devices except the primary hard
drive. If it boots then, start hooking up one IDE device at a time until
you run into a problem. If you use SATA or SCSI, I would assume that you
should use the same procedure for that. (It also wouldn't hurt to check all
of the connections) To me, it sounds like something isn't allowing it to
boot up. (Likely a piece of hardware.)
