That blah blah blah screen is the POST screen, where BIOS runs its tests and hands the boot process off to the boot device, usually your hard drive with windows installed
So it is posting but not getting into windows. It may be an issues with the CMOS or BIOS not finishing up its work.
What you need to do first perhaps is to reset your BIOS, which you can read about here...
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_reset_the_BIOS
If that doesn't work, try clearing CMOS.

If that doesn't work, get into your BIOS and check on the boot order for your devices. Make sure the order is what you want and that each device is working.

I would say clear the CMOS. If it doesn't work, maybe take out the battery as well. Then put back the battery and see if you can get in the BIOS.
Well a proper CMOS clear includes re-seating the battery.

Yeah, it's not always required tho. When I overclocked my Athlon 64, it was at 2.9Ghz. Any higher, and it wouldn't even post. But I didnt got to take out the battery tho, just clear the CMOS, and use CMOS Reloaded to put it back to my previous overclocked settings.

Hey, I am not trying to beat anyone at anything, and I also was not posting just for the count. I was only trying to be funny. But I am curious if any of the real advice worked and what had happened. I love fixing computers.
