Vista Home Premium--cannot get into BIOS

[kenshireen]

When I turn the PC on it goes the the HP INVENT blue screen..then it goes to
the black screen wtih the cursor blinking in the left hand corner..then to a
blank screen with the "no analog signal"...then it loops back again to the HP
Invent screen and continues this cycle. I cannot get into BIOS. The
keyboard has no effect.



I switched out hard drives and still have the same problem..



Any suggestions

Thanks,

HP sucks.
Always has.

Take it back.
Tell them you want a PC not built by Mexicans.

Are you tapping on the Delete key when you start up the computer ???

If it isn't the delete key, make sure the F keys are engaged. On some
keyboards, during boot they are not active, which may depend on whether
you are using a USB keyboard or PS2.

Hi, Ken.

You have an HP problem, not a Microsoft problem. :>(

Windows does NOT control the BIOS. The BIOS starts the computer and THEN
loads the operating system: Windows or Linux or whatever. The problem you
are describing is happening BEFORE Vista even gets a chance to load.

The problem is either in your computer's motherboard or its BIOS. Talk to
HP.
