blinking cursor on boot
Got a blinking cursor everytime I reboot. Tried the minmized image recovery which reformats, copies / restores the files to the hard drive but when it says the next step is to reboot, and I do, it freezes on startup (HP Logo, single line of discolored pixels at the top of the screen, press esc for boot options frozen in the bottom corner). At this point I reboot and I'm right back where I started.
I did a memory and full hard drive check, both come back fine. Not sure what else to do.
