nc4000 not posting

I've got a HP nc4000 in front of me, that had a few problems. Numbers were scrolling on the screen for 5 minutes, and then it POSTed but Windows wouldn't boot



First thing I had to do was enable QuickBoot, which was disabled in the BIOS. Fine, it now POSTs fine. XP still wouldn't load. So I tried booting it normally, and it hung on a black screen.



Rebooted, and it's just a black screen, no POST, nothing on an external display, but the fans are still spinning, and power is going to an external ODD. I thought it might be overheating, and have given a quick blast with compressed air, and the problem is the same.



Any suggestions?
