HP Compaq DC5800 small form factor
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
When I press the power button it shows the HP boot screen and then black screen with cursor blinking and does not go any further! It's happening since I tried to get safe mode by pressing F8 button repeatedly

From the HP boot screen, launch the bult-in HP Hardware Diagnostics.

Run the "short" test against the RAM, and run the "short" test against the disk-drive.

Tell us the results.

 

Next step would be to boot from the Windows 7 DVD, and use the trouble-shooting software tools on that media.
