DV2700 NOt starting up after recovery?

HP  Entertainment PC - DV2700 Laptop
*Windows Vista Home Premium*
2GB Ram
Hi there,
Have had my Entertainment Laptop for some time & it has always been excellent for us in the way of watching films, browsing the internet & Helping my daughter with her homework.
Recently has become very slow until today on boot up it would not pass the windows loading screen? After a few attemps it came up with the repair screen & showed it had run the repair & recommended restarting the system.
I did this & it just went back to loading the windows screen again to which it just hangs. It has been like this now for over 2 hours & the HD on the front left seems to be very hot? I have shut down the laptop from the mains & have it just sitting there now?
To be honest, im not to headsup when it comes to computers & would like any laymans terms would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time & patience for hearing me rant on, I suppose when you like something, you just donr want to let it go.
Thanks again
Tman

  • IMac does not start-up after recovery screen.

    My iMac (late 2008), does not continue to start-up.
    After switch-0n, I get a grey screen with Apple loge, a 'busy' indicator and a 'progress bar', which fills slowly.
    When the 'progress bar' is completed, the iMac switch-off.
    When started again, the same repeats it self.
    Any keyboard combination does not work.
    What can I do..?
    Kind regards

    Hello Stephan
    Start with booting up to the Recovery HD and then use Disk Utility to verify the hard drive. Check out the first article to go through those steps to sort you out. If for some reason that it checks out and you are still having issues booting up, then you will want to reinstall the operating system. I have provided the steps to reinstall OS X Mavericks, but the steps are the same for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Also if you can somehow back up before you go through the troubleshooting to make sure that you have a safe copy of your date.

    Same thing happens when i click restart.
    No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

    Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
    You can see the crash reports in this folder:
    "C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
    See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • 2007 Mac Book pro Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    My Mac Book Pro started having issues. I tried to relaod the operating system and it worked for a moment. When I tried to do a time machine back up it failed.
    Now itr Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    Dr.Conga,
    did you try to do a Time Machine backup from your MacBook Pro, or a Time Machine restoration to it?
    Are you trying to reload your current version of OS X (10.7.4, to judge from your signature), or are you trying to reload the version of Mac OS X that came on the grey installation DVDs that originally came with your MacBook Pro?

    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Logic pro not starting up after install.

    Ive tried to install Logic pro twice and both time it will not start up after install. can someone tell me what is the best way to install this program correctly? should i just pay apple more money to install the program for me?

    I have exactly the same problem. Whilst 8.0.1 would hang during startup without displaying the splash screen intermittently 8.0.2 crashs every time a few seconds after displaying the splash screen.
    Although my computer is almost 6 years old it is perfectly adequate for audio work. I hope this is fixed soon. Unimpressed with the quality control.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start up after entering correct password.

    Hi MJTOOTS,
    Since you are getting to the login screen, it is booting past the "gray screen" phase, so try the steps in this article, like a Safe Boot.

  • New Macbook Pro does not start up after updating...HELP!!!

    Hi,
    My new Macbook Pro does not start up after it got updated. The first time I used it, it was perfect. I updated it and restarted it when it told me to but it doesn't boot. It shows an apple and a spinning circle when it turns on but that's it.
    Can somebody please help me?

  • IPhoto does not start up after upgrading

    On my new iMac iPhoto does not start up after migrating. Upgrade from iPhoto 6/Snow Leopard > Lion 10.7.1 with iPhoto 9.1.5. When the conversion is finished I can see the new library, it works allright. And with packet-inspection (or how is that called in English) all maps & data seems to be OK; I can check the seperate pics.
    But: iPhoto won't start up a second time (grey screen with infinite spinning wait cursor). The same thing is happening when I add a new library and drop in some pictures.
    What can cause this problem?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • R12-oafm, forms and oacore not starting up after IP adress change

    Heloo my friend;
    I had problem while i changed my server IP...when i start adstrtall.sh script its end wiht :
    adstrtal.sh: Exiting with status 3 and adoafmctl.sh: exiting with status 204 ...soo my login page doesnt come to explorer and it gives HTTP 404 page not found error
    So here is the solution:
    Cause
    The OC4J lock files contains the IP adress, after the ip adress change the lock files includes the wrong Ip adress which caused the OJ4J to fail
    Solution
    1 - open a new shell and set your apps environment
    2 - cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
    3 - adopmnctl.sh stop
    4 - check if it is really down: ps -ef grep grep opm
    5 - delete the following:
    rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oacore/persistence/*
    rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/oafm/persistence/*
    rm -fr $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/persistence/*
    6 - adopmnctl.sh start
    7 - check if the issue has been resolved: adapcctl.sh status
    I hope its helpful

  • My MBP will not start up after restart

    My MBP (late 2011 running 10.8.something - receintly updated) will not start up after I had to do a restart to install Blackberry Desktop software (for my wife, I promise).  It chimes, gets past the grey screen with the Apple logo and then just sits on the login screen but with the background only, no account or anything.  My mouse pointer is there and moves but nothing else.  Anyone have any idea?

    Reboot holding the Shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this is Safe Mode and will disable the at boot kernel extension file that Blackberry installed.
    When you get in uninstall the software using their uninstaller. Then reboot normally again, visit their website for a update if there is one.
    Blackberry/RIM software has been causing issues around here lately.
    If your machine refuses to boot normally again, then run through this list 1-8,, by #8 your machine should be booting normally again.

  • Listener service not start automatically after reboot in Win2K server Clust

    Hi all,
    I set up a two node Server Cluster with Microsoft Windows 2000 server cluster service. Hardware are two HP DL380 servers and HP MSA500 (the shared storage). The cluster's IP address is 10.1.241.65. When I shut down both servers and restart the primary server, the listener server service will not start automatically. The listener log is:
    Started with pid=1108
    Error listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.1.241.65)(PORT=1521)))
    TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
    TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
    32-bit Windows Error: 49: Unknown error
    The service is set up automatically start. I suspect the cluster virtual IP is not available immediately after reboot. So I tried setting the Recovery after first failure and second failure to 3 minitues each, and setting up Dependencies of the listener on the cluster service in the Win2K Service panel. Neither worked.
    The service can be manually start.
    Any suggestion?
    Frank.

    The command to start automatically the listener is :
    lsnrctl start
    check the parameters in : <ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin/listener.ora
    check the IP address or host name

  • Satellite A300-15A does not start up after Alcohol program installation

    Hi...
    I bought Satellite A300-15A yesterday and after completing the Vista installation process, I tried to install "Alcohol" but my notebook shutdown and now I'm not able to start notebook.
    It is not starting in any mode.
    I forget to make recovery discs. I think Alcohol is not compatible with Vista. Error which i receive is below.
    Can anyone tell me the solution?
    Please help urgently
    "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: blah blah... "

    Sounds like a familiar problem to me, as I had the same one with the Daemon tools. After installing those tools I couldn't start my Windows XP any more. I guess it somehow mixed up some drivers or registry entries, but not sure about that.
    Ok, you can try to deinstall the tool by first starting Vista in safe mode (press F8 before Windows boot up).
    You should be then able to enter Vista without problem.

    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
