This sounds like a codec problem. Check you have the latest codecs installed. I use KLcodec on my system. It is free and very effecient.

Hi.

While the computer boots up press and hold the F10 or the F11 keys. If they don't work then you should be able to do it within Windows using HP Recovery Manager which you should find in Start Menu>All Programs.

I suggest to open your computer and unplug your power supply and look for the color green and black cord which plugged from your motherboard. Then find a piece of wire and short the color green and black wire to test if your power supply is working and plug to your power socket. And check your electronic parts (capacitor) near at your processor, it might your capacitor blown out.

Sorry for some bad news, but unless you know someone who would know how to unbrick your motherboard from a bad bios flash.. its gone. They recently came out with new boards that have protected firmware, if anything like this were to happen it would auto reflash the original bios to the board. Hope this helps :-S

Here are the instructions from the user manual (be warned that doing this you will lose all your photos, Word docs, etc.):
1 Turn off the PC. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the PC
turns off.
2 Disconnect all peripheral devices from the PC except the monitor, the
keyboard, and the mouse.
3 Press the On button to turn the PC on.
4 During the startup, do the following to enter the System Recovery program:
When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F10 key on
the keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F10 key before the
normal startup process continues.)
5 The PC starts the recovery; wait for the onscreen instructions to display, and
then follow those instructions.
6 Complete the PC startup, and finish the registration process. Then reconnect
all peripheral devices.

Did you connect the p4 atx 12vx1 plug?
You may also need to connect the aux x1 plug on some models.

Sometime the card says the device error but there is another way to access or open that device. Some cause of the device are not properly remove during the last session use. To open that device you can go to my computer. When you are now in my computer their is a address bar the you can see the arrow left side of the address bar you need to click and look for the device you need to open. Now it will go directly to the device. Good luck
