Okay, well, I don't know the problem, I can only describe what is wrong. When I boot the computer, it comes to a blue screen showing the HP logo, an then below it showing
<F10=Setup>
<Esc=Boot Menu>
<F12=Boot from LAN>
<F11=System Recovery>

While booting is the only time I can select one of these, once booted it won't change. System Recovery does not work at all(F11 key won't do anything at all). I have gotten Boot Menu to work once, pressing ESC will start to load Boot Menu, but won't do anything besides say "Loading Boot Menu". During the one time I got it to load up, it allowed me to select Setup, but from there, "Loading Setup" appeared, nothing happened.

One last important thing I might add, is that the keyboard flashes on and then off again while booting.

I hope I was descriptive enough an not to confusing, please help!
