Blank screen on startup

Yesterday when I started my computer the screen went blank, a few restarts fixed this problem. Today wasn't as good as yesterday. This morning when I pressed the power button to start up, my screen stay blank and never came on. I've tried hard resets and hooking it up to a monitor but that didn't work, and I haven't dropped it or anything. I have had this Pavillion for 2-3 years(which to me seems like the average lifespan of a computer), is it safe to say it's dead now, or is there a way to fix it? I'm certain it wasn't a virus because I ran my anti virus software yesterday, could it possibly just decided to quit on me? Please let me know as soon as possible. Now when I do turn on my computer my caps lock and numb lock blink twice then pause and repeat, The Geek squad said that its a BIOS failure because I turned my laptop off during an update because I had to go. Is there a possible way to fix this?

Boot problem loop! Going in circles...

Hey!  Having boot up issues with my HP G42-230US.  When I first turn it on, this screen appears:

image.jpg

 

When you hit ENTER, the Windows start up screen shows up, then it goes black and this pops up (if you cancel the disc check):

If if you do not cancel the disc check, you get this (it continues on through stage 5):

Next, you get this screen:

If if you choose to start windows in Safe Mode (and then it freezes):

If you try to start Windows normally, you get the start up screen, it goes black, then this pops up (too quickly to read it) and the whole process stars over:

Can anyone please help?  I have already tried a hard restart.  Thanks!

Laptop will not turn on, despite hard reset

After running out of charge earlier today, my laptop since will not respond. It is totally unresponsive to the power button being pressed.

I have attempted hard reset (removing battery and AC, holding power button down, then starting with AC plugged back in). This is successful, but only for about 3 seconds of normal starting up, before it cuts out once again. I have been through this process several times, to no avail.

Laptop was working fine up until this incident. Definitely does not appear to be a fault in the adapter, since all lights come on accordingly.

I screwed up big time

Short Story: My Split x2 g-110dx laptop can't boot, doesn't want to boot off of usb when its not in Legacy, and the entire SSD is wiped: only thing is the updated BIOS.

 

Long Story: I had a multimedia problem where all files running through WMP, native Music player and native Video player sounded like you ran the .mp3 or .mp4 file over with a steamroller, so I decide to reset the entre PC, when it boots it shows the installation  screen for Windows 10, not Windows 8 or 8.1. Frantically, I shut the PC down.

 

When I boot it up, the PC is now in a boot loop. So I decide to go to the failsafe "F11" and open up cmd to format the entire drive. Bad things happened.

 

Now, my PC is being a stubborn d**k and won't boot off of the USB. The failsafe I had is gone, and since then, the only thing I could do to move foward is to update the BIOS.

 

I screwed up big time, so now I need to get my laptop up on its feet.

Laptop on, black screen, can't reset/turn off

My HP envy is new, only got it ~1 1/2 months ago in Thailand, I'm currently on holiday in NZ. It's running Windows 10 64bit.

Last night I downloaded & installed the pending HP updates (~10 of them), this was the first time I'd used the HP update tool. 1 was for the bios and it said that that didn't work. I don't think I rebooted/shutdown after these but am not sure.

This morning I used my laptop for a while then shut it down and went out for the day.

When I came back the screen was black but the power light was still on. Pressing the power button (short or holding it down) & ctrl alt delete didn't do anything.

I can't turn it off at all as I can't find a way to remove the battery without unscrewing the back off the laptop (would it void my warranty if I did that?)

Any suggestions on what I can do/try?

Laptop boot blank screen

I started my laptop after 2 days of no use and there was no boot up. The screen was black and none of the keys responded. Only caps lock light would toggle. Laptop would stay like this for about 5-10 seconds and then it would shut down. I tried hard reset and all but it didnt work. Then I swapped the CMOS battery with that of another laptop, after 15 minutes of removing the original battery. I think this reset the CMOS as the laptop did boot up but the screen still black. I connected the laptop to an external screen and that worked perfectly indicating that something's wrong with my screen. Then i swapped the CMOS battery back to original and the problem started again. I haven't reset the CMOS now. Is this an issue with my screen or GPU or the power connector for any of these? How do I solve this problem?
P.S. - When I say that the screen is black I mean that the the screen is backlit but nothing is displayed. I have a couple of dead pixel lines on my screen and they become visible (turn whitish dead pixel color) meaning the screen does power on.

Stuck in Windows Boot Manager without an internal CD drive

While seting up 840 G2 for a new account I inadvertently hit cancel and reset the machine to the Windows Boot Manager. In that screen its asking me to 1. Insert your windwos installation disk and restart your computer 2. Choose you language settings. 3. Click "repair you computer".  This 840 G2 does not have CD drive.  Can I use a USB drive with only the installation software or can I use an external drive? The system admin tech had told me to hit F11 when first powering up the machine and following HP recovery procedures.  All its doing is getting me back to the WINDOWs BOOT MANAGER.

G7 notebook fan error

A few days ago when I booted up my G7 laptop I saw a character screen come up with a coolng fan error code. Maybe it was code 800 or something like that. It shut itself down quickly so I didn't have time to write down the error code. I thought there would be an error log that i could retreive that code and message from, but haven't found it yet.

 

Can someone tell me how to retrieve that information? I went into event manager from the control panel but that didn't show anything.

 

by the way, after letting it sit for a few minutes I was able to boot normally again. The strange thing was this was the only time  in a couple of years that I had taken the laptop away from home and had just brought it back from a Staples store where they did a complimentary PC Health check and said everything was OK.

 

I know the fan in this model is a problem, becuase I had to have it replaced under warranty within the first two weeks I owned it. 

 

Any help on finding the error code will be appreciated.

Is anyone else having trouble installing the latest bios update on a Spectre 360 running windows 10?  

 

HP diagnostics finds the update, downloads it and then sticks in the install mode--I had it running for over a half hour and it wouldn't complete.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

how to boot my hp 17" pavilion notebook pc from a usb drive to reset my pc from geek squadok

Hi All,

Please help I'm at my whitts end. I seriously can't believe my notebook is still physically intack.

I have a HP pavillion notebook 17"

Long story short.  I should have came here first but of course its too late I just located it.

I was using windows 10 and I was trying to get Fall update I think I tried every fix and nothing was succesful. I could only use it for 2 minutes and it would freeze. I couldn't download any drivers. I had very high cpu use and 100% RED Disk usage I ended Superfetch, and other advice I found and could never bring services so I could not delete or turn off any program that needes services to delete it. There is a of fixes that I tried. I'm not a tech guy but I am a DIY guy. So I must have put well over 20 hours into this.

That brings me to this. Today I turned on my pc and decided to to a clean update. So I did a System reset and it failed at 47% and I could not even get into my PC. I have no OS. I have a usb key that geek squad made for me when I bought my PC. I can't get it to run.

PLEASE HELP

This notebook is only a year old and probably only used for a month with all windows errors. I have learned how important updates are and have a new respect for the Geeks out there.

HP ProBook 4540s laptop Boot problem.

Dear Geeks,


I have a problem in my HP ProBook 4540s laptop.  When I push the power button , it does not boot, but a few seconds later the fan turns on and the screen remains black. Also, the LED on the CAPS-LOCK button keeps flashing. There is no any error messages  The only way to shut it back down is to remove the battery .  Then I try to boot it agian.  The computer will boot normally about 1 out of 20 attempts.  Briefly removing the battery and placing it back does not help. Removing the RAMs and placing them back does not help too.   I haven't made any changes to the computer.  

Another problem, when I become a lucky and get it boot, after about 5 min the fan stare to make a noise.

Any Idea.
