however one of my friends got my computer working with Windows XP recently and evrything ran fine
while i was away, my computer must have restarted although my parents claimed they never touched it
it was stuck in the black screen with the flashing _ line that comes after the HP screen with BIOS and system recovery options
it wont load past that although it was working perfect just a few hours eariler
i have tried system recovery and starting on safe mode, both lead to the black screen
i have set my BIOS to default with no luck
please help, to my knowledge nothing is wrong with the hardware
