Vista Home Premium--cannot get into BIOS

=?Utf-8?B?a2Vuc2hpcmVlbg==?=

When I turn the PC on it goes the the HP INVENT blue screen..then it goes to
the black screen wtih the cursor blinking in the left hand corner..then to a
blank screen with the "no analog signal"...then it loops back again to the HP
Invent screen and continues this cycle. I cannot get into BIOS. The
keyboard has no effect.



I switched out hard drives and still have the same problem..



Any suggestions

Thanks,

B. Smith

HP sucks.
Always has.

Take it back.
Tell them you want a PC not built by Mexicans.

This has nothing to do with Vista. It is a hardware problem of some kind,
or there is no OS installed. Did you try inserting a Vista DVD (or XP or
whatever) to see if that will boot?

Are you tapping on the Delete key when you start up the computer ???

If it isn't the delete key, make sure the F keys are engaged. On some
keyboards, during boot they are not active, which may depend on whether
you are using a USB keyboard or PS2.

Hi, Ken.

You have an HP problem, not a Microsoft problem. :>(

Windows does NOT control the BIOS. The BIOS starts the computer and THEN
loads the operating system: Windows or Linux or whatever. The problem you
are describing is happening BEFORE Vista even gets a chance to load.

The problem is either in your computer's motherboard or its BIOS. Talk to
HP.
