I turned my dv7 off last Thursday night and come Friday morning it wouldn't start up. My dv7 has Windows 7 Home Premium with all available (required) updates.
There is no error message, just the regular "Windows Starting" page with the quad-colored pulsating 'star'. Only it doesn't start. It just hangs there.
I've run and passed the HP Advanced System Diagnostics tests (start-up, run-in, hard disk, memory, battery) as well as System Tune-up.
Even trying startup via recommended 'repair' mode hangs.
I've noticed recently the heat exiting the left side of the notebook seems greater than usual.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
