Bios recovery - Computer will not boot up

I have a HP Pavilion HPE H8-1145-SC, my bios will not boot.
I was wondering if there are any ways of changing the jumper setting on the motherboard ( IPISB-CH2) to fix this issue if so how do I do it? or are there any other types of recoveries that I can do.
I have searched the forum for answers and tried some such as taking the battery out and putting it back in but it hasn't worked.

You could not get a boot menu when using a boot disk, any messages on the black screen at the bottom?   Could you do me a fav and take a pic of that black screen and post it. I think... not sure yet but this can be your memory. 
I would ask for you to preform a memory test using memtest86 but if one disk does not boot this may not either. But still worth a try.  If you burn a memtest86 disk and reboot see if it boots into the memory,  if not the issue is memory most likely.  Do you know how many GB of ram you have installed?
Do you feel like you can opening your case and removing memory dimms? If you have a bad one this may stop it from booting. I hope the memtest86 works cause it would detect that.  Windows 7 can boot on 2 GB. If you have  say 6Gb than each dimm would be 2GB taking out one at a time keeping one in and see if it boots.

In the window about the first list download the zip Iso and burn it to a CD
** Memtest86+ V5.01 (27/09/2013)**
pre-compiled bootable binary (.zip)
If you feel that this would not work I suggest taking your system to a PC repair shop and have them test the memory.

  • BIOS update, then will not boot from any drive

    This old laptop, 3000 C200 8922 was acting very clunky when on wireless.
    Downloaded Bios Version 63ET62WW and flashed it into the bios.
    Now, even though I can get to the bios screen, and it shows the hard drive, DVD/CD drive, it will NOT boot from either.
    It will also "see" a usb installed, but will not boot from it.
    I have removed all power and cleared the CMOS several times and I still have nothing. Tried two different hdd's which have been in the machine and same results. 
    HELP!! I should have never messed with it......

    hi k4pew,
    One rule after a BIOS update is to Load optimize deafults after updating.
       Try that go inside BIOS Hit F9 to load defaults then F10 to Save and Exit.
    If not
    Try turning on the computer and start hitting F1 to load the Recovery Menu and see if that will push then Try Reseting the PC.
    If still the same Im afraid that the BIOS needs to be reflashed.
    Im not aware of any flash tool or a your Previous BIOS Version Firmware available for download.
    You can try calling Lenovo Technical Support for any options available for repair.
    Im sorry to hear what happened
    Regards

  • Computer will not boot up.  I have tried running disk utility and re-installing OSX.  It says disk locked

    I am new to Macs and have bought a 13" Macbook Pro and a IMac 21.5" 14 months ago.  I have only used the Macbook pro about 15-20 times and after upgrading to Maverick it will not boot up.  I get the white screen and a spinning circle.  I have tried Disk utility repair and even re-installing the OSX, but it says disk locked.  I do not recall setting any password protections or passwords.  I now have a brick with a lit up Apple logo.  If anyone knows how I can bypass the disk lock error or reset the laptop, please let me know.  This has not been a pleasant conversion from PC's.  Even my IMac blacks out from time to time and both happened right after my factory warranty expired.

    The internal drive is malfunctioning. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    COMPUTER DOES NOT BOOT UP ERROR MESSAGE HARD DISK 1

    Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance  you have a 640GB hdd so you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 500GB hdd.

  • Help needed on startup. My computer will not boot from the CD drive!!!

    Problem with iMac G3 333, the Message on the screen states: "The System Software on the starup disk only functions on the media, not if copied to another drive." Like a fool, I copied the system folder from the original system software 9.2.2 on to the iMac. System disk which is not a complete system folder when used on the computer. I have searched the Internet, but can not find an answer. I have tried everything, holding down the C key, "Delete, Opition, Apple key, shift" holding the mouse down on startup, various combinations of other keys, etc. The CD starts to spin, but the computer switches to the hard drive and the message above returns. No matter what I try I still can't boot from the tray loading CD drive. Is there any Firmware code that I can use. I know how to access Firmware on the Imac and can boot the iMac using Firmware, but I don't know how to use Firmware to boot the CD drive which I need to do so I can reload the original software. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP? Thanks, Jim

    Yes, I have tried both System Softwares a number of times. The C key will not boot up the CD drive and the harddrive always boots with the original message. I need to get the CD drive to boot so I can reloaded tge original software. Do you know anything about booting the CD drive using Firmware? Jim

  • Blue screen, computer will not boot up

    My computer, when powered up gets stuck on a blue screen and will not boot up. I have restarted & held down the shift button for safe mode & it goes to a white screen with a grey apple icon but will not move past this screen. How do I get the computer to boot up?

    Sounds like your system is hosed. Try [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. Of course, from the sounds of it, even if you get the drive repaired, it may not fix the problems with your system.
    Do you have backups? If not, your only priority at the moment should be to figure out how to back up your data, or what data may still be intact if your drive is badly damaged. If you have another Mac, the easiest way to do this will be to boot the machine into [FireWire target mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661] and copy whatever data you can.

  • Computer will not boot up but fan will turn on and stay on.

    I have a Gateway and I did not have enough memory.  I bought 1Gig to give it enough memory to run the basic systems.  I added the memory to the slot in the hard drive and now it will not boot up.  The fan just turns on and runs.  I took out the new memory and it does the same thing.  No working computer.  Need help on what I should do besides Punt.
    Thanks,
    ZCDJSouza

    First and foremost, recheck all internal connections to make sure you didn't bump something loose while replacing the RAM. I had the exact same thing happen to me once before only to find that I had accidentally loosened the cable to the hard drive.

  • Computer will not boot up correctly in any mode.

    Hello,
    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with Windows 7 that will not boot up to my log in screen and it does not matter what mode I put it in..safe..etc. I have tried everything I know to do ...like system recovery in the recovery manager. I have no recovery disk or anything. Any help

    That means the internal drive has failed, or there's some other hardware fault. What backups do you have?

  • X61- XPSP2 - installed new BIOS 2.19 - Will not boot on Ultrabase

    I upgraded the BIOS 2.19 and now .. my Ultrabase is not recognized (which means on CD-ROM) and the laptop will not boot when docked at all.   Even docking after boot .. won't recognize the CD-ROM and external ports.
    XP serivce pack 2 
    X 61   (and no its not the tablet)
    Latest BIOS 2.19
    Side problembutdefinately related ... I also have the newer external batter for the X61 that mounts on the bottom of the laptop ... THAT will not recognize either.  So it's def somethin with the bottom connector.
    I'm not sure what to do here at all.  Any ideas???!!!

    I agree w/Jerry and have had similar experience albeit with different software (I use Acronis True Image) but same concept. 
    Also, your model number looks a little strange.  Expect to see something like: L505-S5993.
