Doesn’t sound good. If the computer is still under warranty, you should contact the vendor for a replacement.

Troubleshooting you can try…

If you have a floppy drive, make sure that there are no floppy disks inserted.
Disconnect all USB devices even keyboard/mouse (add the keyboard back later)
Pull all add-in cards other than video.
Disconnect ALL drives.

See if you can POST to the initial banner

If not, a POST diagnostic card is about the only way to see what error is occuring.

You can also look at the manufacturer’s site to see what error the blink code returns.
