I have a HP Pavilion a1610n Desktop computer, Product Number RC652AA, Serial
Number CNH6320HW2. The original HP Recovery disks 1 and 2 , HP5013-7947,
Build 64NAemMPA3 did the initial reformat and went through the normal
process including setting up Windows XP for my personal preferences and
after it finished ask to "restart".

I did that and since then nothing happens when I turn on the computer.
Inserting the HP recovery disks again does not do anything either. The
screen stays dark.
The computer is on, I can see the hard disk spinning, the CD drive is fine,
I can hear it spin up, and the monitor is connected and powered up (I can
exercise brightness control for example)

What do I do now to get the computer working again?

Was there a reason for restoring, problems?

Yes, I wanted to restore to factory condition and format before giving it
away as a present.
