A computer at work recently had a hard drive failure. This seems a little odd, because it is a new computer with windows 7 installed on it. But stranger things have happened I'm sure. Anyway, the guy I work with went through trouble shooting with HP on the issue, and a new HDD was sent to him. I installed the hardware for him but was told he could install the software (I knew better than that!). So I let him have at it.
The next day, I found that he made multiple attempts to install Windows, and never got it working. So I gave my hand at it. I got through all four discs that HP sent us (three installation and one "supplemental"), and supposedly Windows should be installed now. I remove the last disc, and reboot the computer. When it starts, I see the BIOS screen, and then the screen goes black. I have tried to go into the BIOS menu, but it does not respond.
Any idea what is wrong?
