What device is it trying to boot off? Usually a blinking underscore indicates whatever boot device it's using is not set up with an OS.

 

You may need to go into the BIOS to confirm the boot device, and make sure it's choosing the correct device. You also need to confirm that the OS is correctly installed. To that end, what OS is on the drive? How was it set up? What changed before you had this issue?
