EMERGENCY ! please help me ! Why the OFF key would not boot me into the hp recovery partition ?

I  bought a hp Pavilion dm4-2015dx for just over a week or so from Bestbuy.ca.
When I have tried to launch the recovery by pressing F11at the start up this morning, the following is display.
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.............
file:\Boot\BCD
Statue:0cx0000225
info: an error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration
Note: I recently did a partition, I divided up local discs C into A and B discs, I wonder if that has an effect on my computer?
Please help ! I only bought the laptop for just over a week

  • Ask for help: NEW PC (MSI H97 Gaming3) would not boot

    Dear all, I am skilled computer person. I my life I did build many computers. But this time I have an issue with power up and boot.
    I have components:
    1) new MSI mainboard H97 Gaming 3
    2) new INTEL CPU Core i5 4460 BOX with default fan and heatsink
    3) new MSI VGA 285 R9  (working in other computer so VGA is OK)
    4) new 1600 MHz RAM ADATA CL9 2x4GB set. I also tried RIPJAWS CL7 2x4GB 1600MHz
    To be exact I did test these two RAM sets: RIPJAWS G.SKILL F3-1280CL7D-8GBXM and ADATA AX3U1600W4G9-DMV CL9.
    5) new 700W power source 90+ efficiency. I tried other Power source (got same error with MSI H97) which works in other computer, so the issue does not seem to be the power source.
    This is the behaving of the new system: on Power ON the all componets switch on, fan rotate the Sound Boost light up in red, but all run only for 3s and than automatically switch off. After 2s it automatically start again and switch on for 3s and again switch off and on again and again and again same in cyrcle. When I push Power off button for 5s it completely power Off. The Debug LED blink for 16x times.
    I tried to power on without the VGA MSI 285 R9. Same issue as with VGA pluged in.
    When I put the RAM out, the computer starts and buzzer beep like there is no RAM, so normal behaving. But with RAM inserted it behaves strange. I did test two set of RAM with CL7 and CL9 all 1600 MHz. Is there any limitation for 1600MHz and CL ? Should I try 10CL or 11CL ? Or limitation in 2x4GB sets? I did not find any such information in any manual for the H97 Gaming 3 board.
    I tried to reset the BIOS by shorten the pins, has no effect on the problem.
    I was thinking about some low fan rotation protection but I do not think this should be a problem?
    I can not find anywhere the debug LED coder for H97. There is no LED display like Z97 has, only one single led that blinks. In my case blinked 16x.
    Can you help me? What can be wrong and prevents normal boot?
    Thank you a lot
    Otto

    I have read this post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252119.0
    there is about a hard plug of the 24pin power connector to the board. In my case the 24pin connector is also very hard to plug into the board. But I tried to plug it without damaging the board by force. So it should fit inside. But I will try to check again.

  • HT1339 my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
    So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead?  You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
    You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support.  If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download.

    When I download the digital copy of the Hunger Games, it stops at 4.0GB and first returns an error code -1309 and then the code -50. Please help me complete the download. I have tried removing the .tmp folder and downloading it again, but each time it stops the download in the same place.

    I discovered the solution. The external drive I was saving it to was formatted as FAT32. In that format, the largest files can only be 4GB, which explains why it kept stopping at 4GB. I backed up all the files then reformatted it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), this is possible since I am on an iMac.

    You don't need any software to run the router at all.  Connect with your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password admin and configure your router manually like everyone else.

    Take the memory card out of the camer and put it in a card reader.  When it mounts on the desktop select it and try to change the name.  However, that might make it incompatible with the camera.  You'll just have to try and see.
