Ensure all media has been removed from the DVD/CD/BD and floppy disk drives. Disconnect all peripheral devices, disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord and attempt to power on the computer. NOTE: If the computer starts normally after performing this procedure, the issue is being caused by the peripheral devices that were connected to the computer.
