Sound like a card or ram chip,

pull out the ram first and see if you get the video to work with no ram instaled,,

if it works but beep many times the ram is bad,

Also try this with all the cards, hard drives and cd/flopy drives,

keep the video card pluged in,

If it dont come on after all this and you keped the video card in when testing. then its a bad video card,,

If the pc is shows no life then its the power supply, motherboard or on/off button

no if the computer starts up but doesn't post but everything else turns on then there could be a problem with (a) the drive is not hooked correctly (b) drive drive is not pluged in (c) the drive is not working (d) motherboard is damaged from electrical spike

I'm afraid you won't get much help from us; you need to contact Compaq/HP for resolution of this problem. FYI; I have received way too many defective re-installation CDs so it may require patience and the ability to understand India/Pakistani English. I won't touch anything connected with HP any more.

if u still having the same problem, follow these steps:

1.Insert your pendrive. open mycomputer, note the respective drive showing pendrive.

2. Then go to run and type cmd ( or go to command prompt)

3.It will show like: C:\> or C:\Documents and Settings\UserName>

4.Type the drive name of pendrive as shown in e.g
if drive is h: then type as

c:\>h:
h:\>format h:
it will format and ask for media name, you can give the name of your pendrive.

your pen drive is formatted. Now it will show the free space as 8G.B

Have you tried booting from a Windows XP CD? If you have one available you can boot from it, delete the partition and format it. Works all the time for me.

use a soft ware which restores partitions and restores mbr .. this will solve your problem .
other wise i feel the power section of you drive has a small regulator ic chip which needs replacement ..

did you set any jumppers to slave? Is it pluged in the right spot?
