Laptop Boot Problem

by sudheerchawla . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

Hi

I had shutdown my laptop HP Compaq Presario C700 by pressing the power button last night. Today morning when I tried to switch it on; it wont start.
It had windows Xp installed.

When I started it, it shows the compaq logo screen with short-keys related to BIOS configuration. Then it shows a screen with options to select the mode of starting.
Modes –
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command prompt
Latest known good configuration
Normal.

I tried all the above options but the action is same.
It shows the Windows XP screen for 2 seconds. then flickers with a blue screen. for duration that I can make out the color is blue.

It then restarts.

I have tried reinstalling Windows XP again but I face the same issue even after reinstall.

Gurus – Please help.
