PC not booting up after power flicker

[MapleGuy]

Hello all, my PC is not booting up. This is what happened..
One of my from USB port pins were bent. I mistakenly inserted my video camera to download the movies to my PC but it froze. During the reboot the PC came back on, and stuck on the first hp logo screen, after the lights (the front on button) flickered few times. since then it is not booting up at all. The power supply LED at the back of the PC (the green light) comes on as soon as I plug in the power cord. No smoke or smell came out of the PC during this. Here is the info.

- HP Slimline PC (s3321p)
- Motherboard is M2N61-AR

What could it be? Here is the product spec page

Re: PC not booting up after power flicker

did you straighten out the loose usb pins? check those and make sure that they are not connected. It may be that the USB pins are pushed together and giving the system a bad signal which is confusing it.

forgot to add.. also, this is the frequently asked questions section. you would have better luck asking the proper question in the proper topic. this listing is more for general info about the forum. this is not a help topic for things like this.

Yes. The pins are straight. Opened the cover and tried disconnecting the USB connectors on the motherboard as well. No luck ;(
