I am fairly well versed in PC repair, and have never seen this problem. I felt releived that I found anything at all on the web about it. All I can say, my pc had been running for a while, and I thought it might be a virus or something. plus I installed a little kids digital camera. could it be that driver causing the problem?
There are a few other instances here:

That is about all I can find.

I determined nothing but was just beginning to troubleshoot and the original poster never returned.

I don't know why the Y ∞ Y but I was going along the idea that it was no different from your standard blinking cursor. In other words the computer can find nothing to boot.

So then: could be cables; could be hard drive; could be BIOS boot order; could be a MBR problem.

Those are the first things I would check out.
