Encountered a HP Pavilion 900 Series desktop today with a routine “no power” problem. A quick power supply swap restored life to the machine however the strangest problem occurred: The computer was stuck at the HP logo screen!
So what to do?
Thankfully this is pretty easy to solve. My specific problem was being caused by having the two CD-ROM drives connected to the motherboard without having the power supply connected to those drives. Once I connected the new power supply to the drives the system booted fine.
This is what you should do to fix this issue on your computer: simply open up your computer and go through the components (starting with the hard drive and ending with the RAM) to see which one is defective. A faulty device will cause this error. You just need to find out which one it is.
This is very sound advice.
A similar problem can occur where the computer gives only a black screen and no indication that anything is wrong. Sometimes external USB devices such as printers and external hard drives can cause this type of problem.
If you identify an issue that occurs when a particular printer or USB device is connected you may need to look for a BIOS firmware update or a firmware update for the particular USB device.
