I need to reset my HP Touchsmart to factory settings, but it will not turn on. I push the power button, and it will start, the fans will turn on, lights will turn on, and disc drive light will turn on.

But then, all the lights will stay lit, but the caps lock and num lock lights will blink, and it will not do anything more.

I have pulled the small button-cell battery out, tried holding the power button down with the battery out, and tried F8 and 11 (even though not prompted). Nothing has worked thus far. Any help?
