    This doesn't sound like an operating system problem at all. Sounds like your machine is having a problem POSTing (Power On Self-Test). Have you made recent internal hardware changes?

If the problem happens before the OS chooser appears it's hardware. There are lots of questions on SU about how to diagnose a won't book/slow to boot problem. The easiest thing to check is probably that all cables are solidly plugged in, followed by running a RAM test.
