we have been given a compaq server 5500 to use for a registered charity, I have just installed XP pro (until I upgrade it to server 2003) all went well, turned it on and off a few times, left it off for a few days, and when I booted it today all I got was the CD light keep flashing on then off, with out any display or boot options, does anyone have any idea what the fault could be any help would be gratefully received
 
CD light flashing would normally indicate a CPU problem.

Suggest removing and reseating the processor and VRM boards.

Many thanks, one of the VRM boards had become unseated and all works fine now
