  • it has nothing to do with your ram, that blinking cursor means it waits for your boot device to respond, so there 2 things you can look for, the Optical Drive and the HDD itself, sometimes the USB devices causing it (even if it\'s not mass storage device).

    Naranasan ko na rin yang issue na yan, if you can wait a little longer, probably a minute it will boot, the culprit on mine is the ODD messing in the boot process, removing it fixed the problem.
