Blackscreen with flashing cursor HP small form factor dc700

PC is tidning on with the blue HP logo. After that windows 7 does not respond. It is just a black screen with a flashing cursor. In the start you can't ser any BIOS option or comand. What should i do?

Get to a Command Prompt in Safe Mode if you can and type: Bootrec.exe/fixmbr
You may also try a repair disk that you can create on another computer running Windows 7.
If nothing works you will have to perform a Factory Restore either through the recovery partition or recovery disks.

3548-XL-EN to switch with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports

Is it possible to connect my 3548 with a WS-G5484 directly to a 3560-24TS
with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) port?
thanks

Yes.. You will need a LC-SC connector. The part number for a 10-Meter Fiber Multimode SX LC-to-SC Connectors is "CSS5-CABSX-LCSC"

Random, excruciatingly slow load time with 7900 Elite small form factor desktops

Hi all, I have approx 300 HP 7900 Elite small form factor machines in my environment that were deployed just over two years ago. from the time of deployment we have experienced on about 50 occasions a random, excruciatingly slow load time that take about one hour for the user to login and open their programs. there has been no rhyme or reason for it, different floors, areas of the building, etc. I searched the forum for similar probs and didn't see one like this, I hope I'm not duplicating efforts from someone else's question... One thing we have noticed is that if we re-boot while it is going through the start-up process, it seems to "make it angry" and will lengthen the overall load time. We use the 32-bit Vista Enterprise OS. This is with a "stock" build, that is to say, our standard corporate build. our security policy does not allow users to install software, by the way. Thanks so much if you can help!

Hi,
How is the issue going? Usually, this error can be caused by missing third-party NIC driver. To solve the issue, we can download the missing network
driver and update the WDS boot image to include it.
In addition to the article provided by Chris, the following blog can also be referred to as reference.

Dual monitors HP Z200 Small Form Factor Workstation

I am waiting on my new Intel I-5 HP Z200 Small Form Factor Workstation running Windows 7. What do I need to run two monitors?  I believe that there is an HDMI and a DVI video output on the rear - can I run two monitors off of these two outputs or do I need a video card? If I buy a video card do I need one with two HDMI outputs (my preferred connection) or can I use the one on the motherboard and one on an add in card siumultaneously?

Hi,
For that card, with the right connectors and adaptors you can connect to TWO minitors ( Drive up to two 30-inch (2560x1600) digital displays through native dual DisplayPort connectors on a low-profile card.):

Bau you can add an adapter such as:

Hp pro 3130 small form factor freezing

Hey guys, I recently rolled out a HP Pro 3130 Small Form Factor PC to a client a month ago and they have been experiencing constant freezing. Basically the whole PC locks up and nothing can be done to revive it aside from a complete Power Cycle. As an IT Professional, I have done significant investigation and troubleshooting and have not been able to come to any conclusion. It appears to be completely random with no patterns (eg particular application or time) and happens several times a day. I have done the following: - checked event viewer for errors or warnings (none) - checked to see if a dump file is created (none) - run a CPU Stress test and monitoring the temperatures (max 70C) - run a RAM test (memtest) with no errors reported - run a HDD test (spinrite) with no errors reported - run a windows system file check (sfc) with 100% valid file integrity - downloaded and installed latest drivers - installed latest windows updates I feel I have exhausted all options short of either a complete OS reload (i would prefer not to do) or a warranty return. Any ideas?

Hello RTerrell,
If your computer is locking up and there are bands of lines going down the screen then something is failing hardware wise
1. Memory
2. Video Card
3. Power Supply
There could also be bulging capacitors on the boards.
The best thing is to start ruling out hardware components by swapping in new ones. The power supply being the first easy one. Then try with one stick of RAM at a time, try replacing the RAM with other RAM. Finally replace the video card. If it's still failing after that then it may be the motherboard, but I'm hesitant to think that.

What replacement power supply for m72e small form factor

Simple question
I have a bunch of lenovo m72e small form factor pc's.
is the power supply a standard tfx or some sort of proprietary system.
I was thinking of upgrading and also preparing for furture failure contingency.

Many thanks for the update. it is as i feared. i hate the proprietary major components.... oh well, thank goodness for ebay.
also, much less important as I figured out how to sysprep a machine to move windows recently. Since our office FINALLY migrated to windows 7 x64; any future upgrades will be fairly easy on a modern OS.
The m72e we purchased have 3 years support build in so it should be a while before I have to worry about servicing them.
Having said all this, the Dell vostro 200 systems we have are 7 years old and trucking along with no service issues so far.
Lenovo machines were cheaper / on sale at the time and dell has since discontinued their vostro line so we tried the switch over on 1/2 our workstations @ the office.
The speed of the system is fine but there are certainly some bios/hardware bugs that we have noted around the network card.
I doubt we will transition the rest of the systems to lenovo at this point. Sure is easy to service when all your systems are from 1 vendor and the exact same lineage though.

Dekstop DC7800p Small Form Factor system

Hi,
I've got a dc7800 Small Form Factor system. It was working fine but after a reboot it won't start up normally anymore. The black POST screen appears, RAM testing starts to count up and then I see and error about "system options not set". After less than a second, a blue window in the middle of the screen displays the message "smart card authentication" and below that, "smart card reader not present".
From a bit of reading it seems like a BIOS problem but I can't figure out how to really reset the CMOS and get things working again. I've tried removing the CMOS jumper and booting the system, removing the power cord and CMOS battery for 10 minutes.
Is there a way to do one of the following:
- force the CMOS defaults to reset and remove the configuration that requires the smart card authentication?
- force a BIOS recovery, with a key combination or by using a different jumper or jumpers on the motherboard?
I see various other jumpers and pads on the motherboard like "ROM RCVRY" and the E15 Boot Block Recovery Header but scant information about how these might be used to solve the problem.
It seems to me that the hardware is fine as it powers up and displays the POST screen. It's like a BIOS setting has been reset to require a smart card, even though there isn't one, nor even a smart card reader, in the system.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

After doing some research on the message, I came across this post.
Apparently, your PC has a smart card optional system (maybe it was government surplus).
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/DC7800-smart-card-athentication/m-p/10691...
Now, if you can get into the BIOS menus, if you look at the top of page 8, you will see what you need to do in order to enable/disable the smart card reader message.
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01162201/c01162201.pdf
Whatever the problem is, it is a security setting issue, and clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS will not have any effect on that setting.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the security settings or protect tools software on HP business PC's.
I have a dc7800 (and only use HP business desktops and notebooks), so I am very familiar with all the other aspects of the PC, but that one.
You may want to post your issue on the HP business support forum, business PC section. Hopefully someone there has experience with turning this feature on or off.

No Audio from HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor PC display port

Hi
I have a HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor PC that has a display port. I bought a display port-HDMI adapter to use it on my LG plasma TV. The video is fine but i get no audio.
Please what do i need to do? does my display port support audio? The symbol on it has the DP++ sign which indicates it should support audio.
Please assist me.

Hi:
To the best of my knowledge, your PC does not support audio out of the display port.
Check your sound and playback menu in the contol panel, and see if you have 2 HD audio selection choices. If not, you won't be able to get sound out of the display port.

No sound output on installing a hdmi support graphics card on HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor

when i inserted a HDMI support graphics card on g-force nvidia on my HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor no audio output was availabe i need a support for this problem

You will have to switch the sound Playback from Speakers to the Digital Audio output.
Disconnect the speakers from the default output at the rear of your PC. Sound will be output through the HDMI cable to the device it is connected to if the video device has HDMI sound capability. If you have it connected to an HDTV it should not be an issue. All you will have to do is use the TV's menu to accept the computer input instead of cable.

Z77A-GD55: Boot stuck with flashing cursor (need help!)

When I start my computer, it says A2 in the lower left of the screen, and then B2 for quite a long time. Afterwards, it's just a white cursor flashing on a black background, and nothing else happens.
I have recently installed a third hard disk and changed my graphics card (from 2x Sapphire HD 7970 to 1x EVGA GTX 760).
What can I do to fix this problem?

Quote from: badboy2k on 20-August-13, 05:16:16
A2 = IDE Detect (looking for a hard drive as you do not have a OS that could just be the issue there)
B2 = Legacy Option ROM Initialization <---- that is a problem and may indicate you have a problem with your EVGA GeForce GTX 760 as that is usually a Graphics Card issue code (check its seated and connected properly)
was the 3rd HDD clean (new with no OS on it) and what SATA port you got it attached to?
I removed the graphics card and connected the screen cables to the motherboard instead, and then started the computer. I worked fine, but of course, I can't use it how I want to without a graphics card.
I then tried to insert it again, and made sure everything was connected properly. When I then started the computer, nothing had changed, and it was still stuck at the flashing cursor.
The new hard disk was clean, yes. I previously had my three drives connected like this:
- SSD (240GB) and HDD (2000GB) connected to the two SATA 1&2 (6.0 Gb/s)
- Optical drive (Bru-Ray read/write) connected to SATA 3 (3.0 Gb/s)
When I installed the new hard disk, I connected the old 2TB to SATA 4 (3.0 Gb/s), and the new 3TB to SATA 2 (6.0 Gb/s).
The 240GB SSD is the disk with the operating system (Win7 64), and this is still, and has always been, connected to SATA 1.
Does anyone have any possible solutions for my problem from the information currently given?
I haven't been able to use my dear gaming computer for four weeks now, and it's driving me crazy...

Screen is black with flashing cursor

Hello, After a dropping inccident with my macbook all i now get is a blank screen with a cursor flashing in the top left corner!, i have tried to reset the pram as disscussed in other topics however this does nothing! Any further help before a trip to the mac clinic,
Thanks for any help, Baz

Well Baz as you know it doesn't sound good. Sorry to hear about that. One thing that you as a user might check out before taking it in is to see if the RAM is still seated well.
A hard knock like that might have been enough to unseat it and that can cause the MB not to boot up. Other than that I'd say a trip to the shop is in order.

Dc7700 small form factor - I get 9 red led flashes when trying to turn on computer.

I have replaced the power supply and I continue to get the same 9 red flashed.
If I push the power button twice in rapid succession I get a green led but I do not get any monitor feed nor does the hard drive get accessed for booting.
Please help!

Hi:
9 beeps could mean:
1. Check the voltage selector (red switch) on the power supply to make sure it is set for the right voltage.
Unplug the A/C power cord from the PC and wall socket. Change the voltage switch to the correct voltage.
Wait 30 seconds and plug the PC back in.
2. Replace the system board.
3. Replace the processor.
Please see the troubleshooting guide, Table A-2 at the link below.
