One day my computer was being slow so I shut it down regularly the next day I tried turning it on and it said preparing to do automatic repair but instead of repairing it just went to blue screen error stating NTFS system error so after doing some Diagnostics it said optimized DST failure. I asked for some help and someone suggested that I unscrew the laptop and see if the solid state drive got disconnected but I was also told that it might void my warranty. The biggest problem with this is that I have a lot of important work on the laptop that is not backed up and I cannot access anything like command prompt and I tried booting from a different from a hard drive but that didn't work this has me depressed and stressed and I don't know what to do please help!

Windows not installing

Hi, My hp laptop was working really slow and I needed to restart it. While I was restarting it it seemed to go smooth for the first 20 minutes. The screen said that it is installing windows and stopped at 64%. The screen keeps switching from the hp logo, to black, then to the installing windows screen. The f12 key also keeps switching from red to blue.

Notebook is freezing a few minutes after startup

My computer has been running a little slow for a while now, I tried running a virus scan and that didn't help so Ive been restarting my computer every couple days to fix it for a bit. This time when I restarted it, it booted up fine, let me log into my account and opened to the desktop screen. However after a few minutes my computer would completely freeze and wouldn't let me move the cursor or click anything, I tried restarting it again with the same problem occurring around the same time after startup. I removed all the important things from my computer for fear of losing them and tried to use the recovery function only to be told that it couldn't recover due to the location of my windows being locked or something and my computer couldn't be recovered, I got the same message when I tried a complete reset of my computer. If you have any idea what's wrong please help

I need to boot up via USB. I can get the startup menu on the screen, but since all options require a F9 or other key, I cannot use it, since this notebook does not have any F keys. Any advice on how to do it without F keys? I'd appreciate it!

i have this hp elite book 6930p which doesn't charge when plugged on power. initially when the problem started I will rotate the power cord around the charger port and when it is a certain position it will just charge but recently it doesn't anymore. whenever it is on and plugged in something pops up telling me that I should use a suitable HP charger that the power rating of the current charger is below the acceptable standard. the original charger that came with the laptop is 19.5v but the current one I am using is 18.5 and it has been working perfectly fine until recently when I changed my hard disk and windows which has not been drived. pls what can I do?

Can't Find Secure Boot

$

I recently updated the BIOS from F.1A to F.1C firmware.

In BIOS the Only options I have in System Configuration are:

 

Language
Virtualization Technology
Fan Always On
Action Keys Mode>Boot Options


And in Boot Options menu:

 

POST Hotkey Delay (sec)

CD-ROM Boot
Floppy Boot
Internal Network Adaptor Boot

>Boot Order

I can't find secure boot. As you see there are very little boot options that I can choose of... just some devices and not system booting configurations.

 

I tried to use HP System Diagnostics UEFI and the only options that I have are some testing buttons; when I go to HDD Information there is a caption that says SMART: Enabled (and that I can't change - it's just a text) can I disable it?

 

Plus I don't have the BIOS Management button as shown in this picture:

 

Can I downgrade the BIOS firmware?

Can I reinstall the BIOS Firmware

Cannot update UEFI firmware on HP Pavilion g6

I am trying to update the UEFI firmware on this laptop as the version it came with seems to be having issues with many operating systems I try out on it. It hangs when booting with the latest version of Linux (4.8 as of writing) which means I am stuck with the LTS banch (4.4 as of writing) and it refuses to boot any other operating system I try out on it. For example, FreeBSD shows a jumbled, unreadable mess after getting past the boot screen.

 

So I looked up the article on the HP website about updating the BIOS and, following the video instructions, I went to the HP Support page and downloaded the BIOS installer for my laptop and placed it on an old desktop I have running Windows (Vista and XP, I tried both). I accepted the license agreement but instead of asking me where I wanted to save the installer files like it says in the video, it showed the following error messages:

 

Error

IHISI: Get support mode fail in SMI!
Error

BIOS did not support InsydeFlash!

I have completely removed Windows from this machine and I don't have a copy of Windows 8/8.1/10 so installing through that is out of the question. I did consider just using the BIOS compatibilty mode but I quite liked learning about the UEFI.

 

EDIT:

I just checked and in addition, my laptop's System Recovery option just boots to the installed OS (Arch GNU/Linux) - presumably because I removed Windows - and there's no 'firmware management' or 'BIOS management' option to be found. The only options under System Diagnostics are a memory test, a hard drive check, language settings and an exit opton.

 

Any help is much appreciated

Boot device not found

  I get the error boot device not found. I remove the battery for five minutes then replaced it then rebooted. I got the same results boot device not found.    How can I fix this problem? If I need to order a bootable thumb drive, I could not find it for sale on the Hewlett-Packard website.  Unfortunately, it appears that the one year warranty expired two months ago. 

Notebook won't start after reset

It happens with these series of unfortunate events.

 

1. The battery was running low. By the time I found the adapter and plug it in. It hybernated.

 

2.  Even though it is plugged in now, the battery refused to charge with the charging light blinking red & white (That happened sometimes because the charging connection was loose. I usually just need to move the cable a few times to get it connected properly & start charging) And the notebook wont' start.

 

3. I removed the battery and just use the adapter. Charging light is solid white now. I was able to start the computer on resume. I shut the computer down & unplugged everything.

 

4. I reset the hardware by pressing the power buttons for 30 secs. Put the battery & adapter back but no, it still won't start up with the battery. But again, it started with the adapter alone.

 

5. So, I search for the solution on HP forum and someone said hold the power button for a min, which I followed. Now, I can't even start the computer with just the adapter. The fan spins for a sec, wifi light on for a sec & it dies off. 

 

What should I do at this point?

MY BRAND NEW LAPTOP FREEZES

I have bought this laptop recently and since then I am having an issue: the laptop keeps freezing since the first day I have it and this happens almost every day, even when just browsing the internet. I tried to fix the issue by pressing alt + ctrl + delete but it’s not working. The only way to unfreeze the laptop is to switch it off and on again, but this is not a long-term solution. I believe the laptop is faulty or has a bug, can anyone help me?
