Boot up stops at HP screen

[Guest Starvoyager]

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.
