How do i get past black screen on startup (windows xp 32bit)

Question

Hello, i am using an HP Pavillion a6119h OS windows xp 32bit. When i turn on my computer it will reach the blue startup screen, but after that screen is gone it goes blank and stays blank. I've tried F11 to do system recovery but it won't go to system recovery. I've  tried F8, and i've tried to boot from disc, but it won't do anything. Please help me.

dsl1989,
Did you follow the steps exactly listed here that pertain to using Recovery discs?
1) Turn on the computer, if it is not already on, and insert the first recovery disc labeled #1.After the first disc is in the drive and the drive is closed, turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
2) With the computer off, disconnect all connected devices and cables such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax. Remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord .
3) Turn on the computer. The computer opens the Recovery Manager program.
