Hi,

For two days now i can not get my computer to boot past the OEM logo screen :(. I start it up and get the HP logo as usual, the hard drive activity light flashes for a few seconds and then...nothing. Keep in mind i can not even enter the BIOS or safe mode the computer just hangs...Is this a bad hard drive or dare i say a bad mobo?
Any suggestions welcome!

Prove it's either the HD or the mobo by putting in a friend's hard-drive with the same OS.

if it is HD, out it in a friend comp and reformat it.

if it's mobo just buy a new one :p

Good Luck
