Boot up stops at HP screen

[Guest]

Win xp home my friend has a HP desktop. I loaded motorola phone tools on it
for her, and changed the power options for go on stby to never. then we
restarted the machine. Upon boot up it stopped at the first screen that says
"HP" I tried F8 and F10 for safe mode and it just sits there. We restarted
several times with the same result. I then got pissed off and went to the
store and to stop by my place to get some boot CD's to determine if it was a
hardware problem, at which time my friend called and said it started up
normally. So... any idea why this happened?

Since Windows never even started, your problem has nothing
to do with Windows. I would try a hardware group or perhaps
the HP FAQs.

Typically HP tends to stall at that screen when hardware changes have been made
or config changes have been made, I guess it's thinking things over, using
patience and the ole phrase (Wait for it) it finally comes around.
