Try resetting CMOS through the jumper or by removing CMOS battery for at least 30 seconds. Power ON, press Del or F2 to open BIOS menu. Load fail-safe defaults, save then exit.
If it still won't load Windows, OS could be messed up. Try repairing it. If XP, use the self repair feature that leaves ALL files INTACT:

If repair would not proceed, hard drive is probably damaged.

Check the BIOS report to see if your HDD is detected (you should see something for either "Primary Master" or "Secondary Master"). If it appears but the computer does not boot, open it up (with the power disconnected) and check to make sure nothing inside is loose or wobbly. If you get the same result (and especially if the screen says "Cannot find startup disk" (or something similar). You may need a new hard drive. Don't discard the current one, you may still be able to read it and get your files from it.

Re-boot your system in Safe Mode: This can be achieved by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. You should now see an option to boot your system at the last known good configuration – select this and if it works - fine.

Assuming the above failed it is possible that your boot sector or boot files on your hard drive have become corrupt. You can attempt a fix by booting from your ‘Recovery’ CD and following the instructions for ‘Repair’.
If and when the repair has finished you will get the C: prompt. Now type chkdsk /r (NOT chkdsk/r but chkdsk space /r) and press return (enter). This means run a program called check disk and repair any faults found on the hard drive. I am now going to assume that your Windows Loader file is corrupt and it is this that is causing your problems.

First of all you need to have your C prompt sitting at the root directory of your hard drive. This can be achieved by typing cd c:\
You need to rename your corrupt loader file by typing ren ntldr ntldr.old – did you get an error message? If so you might not be at the root directory so try cd c:\ again and then rename the ntldr file.
Now copy your good original loader file from the Recovery CD and put it back into the root directory of your hard drive. For this exercise I am going to assume that your CD drive is drive D but it could be drive E or even F so replace the D in my instructions with your own CD drive letter. Here goes:
Copy D:\i386\ntldr c:\

In English – Copy SPACE D:\i386\ntldr SPACE c:\ - you should now be able to re-boot.

Who cares who dares?

If your computer is not working properly when it is switched on, there is a hardware problem. Most of these problems can be solved by just opening up the computer and removing the dust . Detailed instructions at http://fixit.in/computerbeep.html
