Disk will not load on first pressing of power button

I have a 2-3 month old HP Pavilion p6 Series HP P6-2317c- PC which is running Windows 8 64 bit with IE 10. When I push the power button the disk light starts but will not load until I press the power button to restart 2 or 3 times then it works fine. I've never had this problem with an HP product before. It's still under warranty obviously can someone help!!! Please I don't want to ruin a new computer or power source.

Opening the case will not void your warranty. If, once you open the case, you cause damage to the PC, the warranty will not cover that damage. So, for example, if you yank too hard on something and break a connector while you're in there, that particular damage is not covered. But I doubt you'd do that if you follow the instructions carefully and take your time.

See the section titled "Exclusions." Nothing in there about voiding your warranty if you open the case.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep. File sharing off. What else can help?

Hi fremley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
Some System Preferences settings (see below)
Open applications (see below)
Input devices (see below)
Expansion cards (see below)
Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)

HT201269 my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button, any suggestions

my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button. It is showing as greyed out. Any suggestions ?

I am having the same issue. After hunting around on the community boards for a while, I noticed that ZoneAlarm Firewall came up fairly often as causing issues with syncing. I re-activated the firewall that came bundled with my less-than-a-year old Windows 7 pc and completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I dragged and dropped one of my playlists to the iPhone 3GS and then most of my music then came back, but I am still unable to get all my custom ringtones (created in i ringer) to reload. I've tried dragging and dropping to no avail (I use "manually manage" because I add audio books from the library).
Others have posted these same issues and the odds that we are all doing the same exact wrong thing seems astronomical - there must be an issue with the latest firmware update. Different iPhone versions, different OS on computers, PC v Mac - all having problems after the latest update. Coincidence? Hmmmm!
If you do have ZoneAlarm, it might be worthwhile to change that...

Hey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

These are Toshiba's instructions (last updated July 06 so is the P10 covered?)
How to boot your Toshiba PC from CD-ROM, LAN, or diskette
Print
Document ID: 98080545
Posted Date: 09/16/04
Last Updated: 07/21/06
Operating System: BIOS
Category: Boot/Reboot, CD
Distribution: Public
Applicable Models: Portege All

Satellite Pro All

Use of any software made available for download from this system constitutes your acceptance of the Export Control Terms and the terms in the Toshiba end-user license agreement both of which you can view before downloading any such software.
Information:
Many Toshiba PCs can boot (start Windows, or another operating system) from devices other than the built-in hard disk (HDD) or built-in diskette drive (FDD). These devices include USB diskette drives, CD-ROM discs, a local area network (LAN), and PC Card (PCMCIA) hard disk drives.
Toshiba PCs that offer alternate boot devices allow you to specify which device to boot from (the 'boot priority') by three methods:
From BIOS Setup (semi-permanent setting)
Boot priority specifies the order in which the computer searches for a bootable operating system. For example, if you set your system to boot from devices in this order: CD-ROM > HDD > LAN, the computer first checks for a bootable CD, then for a bootable HDD, then for a bootable LAN, and loads the operating system from the first one it finds.
Different models offer different options for setting boot priority. For information about how to access the BIOS/CMOS settings on your Toshiba PC, please see the Support Bulletin entitled "How to access the BIOS Settings on your Toshiba Portable PC" that is applicable to your model. By setting the boot priority in this manner, the boot selected priority setting will be retained for all future restarts, until it is changed again.
From the Boot Device Menu (temporary setting)
When the TOSHIBA splash screen is displayed when you first turn on your computer, a boot menu prompt may be displayed for a few seconds near the bottom of the screen, indicating that a key (F2 or F12, for example) can be pressed to display a menu of boot options. The time allowed for detecting the keypress is very brief, so you'll need to be both prepared and quick.
On some models this prompt reads Press F12 for boot menu. On others, it may say Press C to boot from CD-ROM. On still others, there may be a row of colored icons representing the various boot devices (HDD, FDD, CD, LAN, PCMCIA, etc.) Press F12 while these icons are displayed, and then use the arrow keys to move the cursor from one to another. As new models are released, the wording of these prompts may change.
On models that offer a text boot device menu, simply press the key corresponding to the desired boot device from the list of available devices.
The selection of a boot device from any of these boot device menus affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
From the Boot Device Hotkeys (temporary setting)
Immediately after pressing the power-on button, press the hotkey for the device from which you wish to boot:
Hotkey Boots from device
C IDE CD-ROM1
F ISA FDD2
U USB FDD3
N internal LAN adapter4
The computer will boot from the selected device if it finds a bootable operating system, otherwise it will search for a bootable device, following the boot priority set in BIOS Setup.
"IDE CD-ROM" refers to the computer's internal CD-ROM drive (built-in, SelectBay, or built-in to a Toshiba docking device).
"ISA FDD" refers to an internal or SelectBay diskette drive, or an external diskette drive that connects to the PC through a special Toshiba-proprietary connector.
Not all models support booting from a USB-connected diskette drive.
Not all models support the hotkey for the internal LAN adapter, even though they may support booting from LAN.
The selection of a boot device from Boot Device Hotkeys affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
Notes:
Booting from a CD in a CD-ROM drive requires that the CD be made bootable when it is created ('burned'). Simply copying files to a CD does not make it bootable.
If a "PXE..." error is displayed when you start the computer, it indicates that the computer is attempting to boot from a network (LAN), but is not able to find a remote boot server. If this happens repeatedly, and you are not deliberately trying to boot from a network server, change the boot priority in BIOS Setup to make 'LAN' the last entry in the list of boot devices.

HT3964 My MacBook is not responding when I press the power button, does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you :)

Hi, when I press the power button on my MacBook nothing happens and it is driving me crazy If anyone knows how I can fix this problem, I will appretiate it very much
Thank you

Try an SMC reset, which can often fix that: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 . Note as you scroll down, there are two sets of directions for MacBooks, depending on whether you can remove the battery or not.

Just purchased CS4 but disk will not load at all, cannot install

I have been looking around on the forums for a day or so but have not seen anyone else that has this problem. I insert the CS4 disk into my DVD rom and it is not doing anything at all. It wil not load, if I go to My Computer and click DVD rom it causes my comp to freeze.
Notmally I would assume this is a problem with my disk drive but when I put any other disk in there it works fine. Now experimenting I tried placing my frien'd photoshop elements disk in and it does the exact same thing.
I have tried all the other tricks like turning off the firewall, virus software, removed Adobe reader and Flash. But nothing has changed. What else should I try?

The first thing to do is to check if the Photoshop disk is in fact ok or not. Are you able to read the Photoshop disk on another computer?
If the disk is ok, there is something specific to your drive/system which is causing the problem.
You can find loads of discussions about DVD drives freezing the system in various forums. Some general troubleshooting steps: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/53821.aspx

My Macbook will not start. I push the power button and nothing happens. It is fully charged. I removed the battery and tried to turn it on while plugged into the wall. Still nothing is happening.

I have a MacBook. It went to sleep and I could not wake it up. I shut it off by holding the power button so it shut off. Now I can't get it to start at all.

Pages will not load on first try

Ever since the last Windows update (yesterday) I am having frequent trouble loading web pages.
More often than not, I get a page saying the page is cannot be found. Clicking on the "try again" button causes the page to load normally.
In addition, on one page I got that same message within a site (part of the site would not display) and reloading the page resolved the issue.
I restarted the computer but it was no help.

Yes I have encountered this problem as well, however when I'm on WiFi it's fine.
Anyone else experienced this ?

Help! Apple will not help me with a faulty power button

Hello,
Approximately, 6 months ago, I took my iPhone 4 to an Apple store because I had dropped it. Completely smashed! I had to pay £180 and they gave me a new iPhone.
Last week, the power button seemed to stop working. It doesnt click. It doesnt do anything. They have told me they can't replace because the phone is outside of the 90 day warrenty they give on refurbished phones.
I find this appalling Is there anything I can do?

No
