    Blink cursor
    At boot up I get a blinking cursor on the top left on the monitor, I try to press f8 but can't get in to it, I can get into setup. Can someone help?

    Thanks

    Is that ALL you get, the blinking cursor and it just hangs?

    What version of Windows is on the PC?

    Insert your XP CD and reboot. Then choose the Repair option.
