Startup problems My computer just started to mess up this morning it was working fine last night. I didn't shut the computer down, so it was running all night. I tried to get on in the morning it 'froze up' so I held the power button to let it shut down by itself, and it normally shuts down right away, but this time the screen started fading white, and it didn't make any progress from there. So then I held the power button down for 5sec. to shut the computer off, and when I went to turn it back on, it would make two beeping sounds and go to a black screen that says "Press F1 to resume, F10 to Setup" and the problem is I can't access the functions on the keyboard. (it's pretty much frozen)

I'm not alone! I've been getting this "stuck on the black screen with options to select F-whatever" for a few weeks now - I've unplugged and replugged, all the usual steps but sometimes it can take (seriously!) 20-30 reboots before the computer actually gets going. I'd be grateful for any insights. I'm not alone!

HP Psavilion dv 2000 will not boot up. Lights on, fan on, and after several attempts it does eventually boot up, but very frustrating to have to keep turning on and off until it works.
