HP G42 Notebook Windows 7 - continued to crash - now says Reboot Device not found.

I have a HP G42 Notebook Laptop 
Product Number - XZO46UA#ABA 
It is a Windows 7 64 - bit PC  
 What it has been doing is Constantly Crashing and going to blue screens, and when you move the mouse to turn it on the fans ill be very loud, and at times Lap-top will get extremely hot!!  Just Yesterday it crashed and then restarted but then it went to a black screen that says (Boot Device Not Found) and i don't think that i have a Reboot Disk!! 
And there has been absolutely no Changes made to the PC before this issue had accured. 
If anybody can give me any information on how to Fix this problem or if i have to go to HP store or have Technition come out? 
                  >>>Thank you!<<< 

Please close the topic:
Suddenly the system now recognises that the monitor has a 5-touch input and the installation is running.
Not sure what solved it:
- Had Windows check for a frech driver (it was up-to-date)
- Fiddled around a little in Paint just to see if 5-touch input is working
- Activated a second display (not touchscreen)
I then looked at the System information screen again, and the number of tocuh point appeared correctly

  • Boot device not found. "Hard disk not exist". windows not booting

    Product: HP G72-110SA
    OS: Win7
    two days ago, I was installing updates on my computer and when it was about to restart, it froze. After waiting for 10 minutes, I had to turn it off by pressing the off button. From then on, the computer turns on but shows a message "Boot device not found".
    I have tried all the BIOS tests that I could find on the net for the hard disk, eg: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443465&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&la...
    This gives me a "Hard disk not exist" error. I tried resetting the BIOS, that didn't work. I tried taking out and putting back in the battery, the memory and the hard disk. Still no luck.
    I then booted ubuntu from cd on the computer. It works just fine, including the internet etc EXCEPT the HDD is still not detected.
    I had some pretty important stuff and no back up, so would appreciate if someone can help me get back the data. If not, even if I know its just a HDD failure and not a motherboard/BIOS problem, it will be a relief as its probably fixable.
    Thanks

    Hi there ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I would be happy to assist you. As there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number. (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?) When I went to www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup, it gave me documentation and troubleshooting steps to follow. One of the documents it provided is called Hard Disk Error Displays before the Computer Starts. NOTE: I recommend at this point you make an immediate backup of all important data and files. Here are instructions on how to Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8). Please follow the troubleshooting steps provided, re-post with the results of the troubleshooting in detail. Thank you.

  • Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

    Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
    Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
    I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
    I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

    Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

  • HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system

    My Duaghter is out of the country studing abroad.  Her PC would no longer boot up so she took it to a support shop. They replaced her hard drive, fixed an over heating issue and reloaded her PC.  Now she is getting this new error message and she is desparate to get this fixed.  We have owned this PC for only 2 years. I am sure it is out of support.
    HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
    She took it back to the support shop and they upgraded her bios, but that did not fix the error message.
    Please help!  What can she do  now.

    Hi:
    Normally that means the hard drive failed.
    I know it was replaced but maybe the replacement drive went out too.
    There is a hard drive diagostics tool your daughter can run in the BIOS.
    I suggest she run it (enter the BIOS by tapping the F10 key as soon as she sees the HP welcome screen).
    Then once in the BIOS, there should be a diagnostics menu..one for memory and one for the hard drive.
    She should select the hard drive diagnostics application and see what it reports.
    Then go from there based on what is reported.

  • Windows 7 says "USB Device not recognized"

    Hi!
    I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and 64-bit iTunes installed. My iPod Photo 40GB won't work with that computer, but works fine with my old XP 32-bit computer.
    Is there any way to solve this problem? When I plug in the iPod, it says "Installing driver" for a short time, then says "USB device not recognized". I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times, tried to force W7 to install drivers from "iPod Updater 2005-01-11" and also used Windows update.
    Are there any 64-bit drivers available? I really need to put some music on the iPod now!!

  • Berkeley DB XML crashing on Vista (entry point not found in Xqilla.dll)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run Berkely DB XML on Windows Vista but it countinues crashing and I cannot find the reason. I downloaded the Berkeley DB XML source project and compiled it in Visual Studio 2005, following the compiling instructions.
    If I compile everything in debug mode all the sample apps and the dbxml.exe work correctly. The problem arises when I compile everything in release mode and I try to run dbxml.exe or any aother sample app.
    Debugging the helloWorld application I get the following error, even before entering the main() function:
    Entry Point not Found - The procedure entry point ?allocateTempVarName@XQDynamicContextImpl@@UAEPB_WXZ could not be located in the dynamic link library xqilla21.dll
    Anyone ever encountered this problem ?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Matteo

    Matteo,
    Have you tried just compiling and running the xqilla.exe command-line program to see if that works?
    Regards,

  • With Windows 7 or 8 on my 2710p (built in webcam), the camera driver says "HP Webcam not found"

    I had the webcam running on my 2710p with Windows 7 for quite a while, but after I plugged in an external webcam once (I think it was Microsoft branded), it's almost as if my built in webcam dissappeared.  I tried formatting the computer to Windows 7 and now Windows 8 (both 32bit), hoping it that a fresh install would fix the issue, but when I try and install the sonix webcam driver from the hp drivers page for the 2710p (using W7 Home Premium 32bit drivers), it says "The HP Webcam has not found! Please plug in the HP webcam and then run installation again."  The only unknown device in my device manager is the PCI controller, which I don't really care for.
    What's going on here? I'm pretty tech literate but I'm kind of stumped here.
    This question was solved.

    Webcams are fragile and I suspect yours has died. I think the fact that it happened while you were using an external webcam is coincidence.

  • I have Windows 8 on a Dell laptop, i upgraded to 8.1 When i download iTunes, when i click finish, awindow pops up that says," Application support not found, uninstall iTunes and download again,Error 2" After 3times,it still says same thing.

    Hello Community, I hope ya'll can help me. I have a Dell Laptop with a 32-bit Operating System, running Windows 8 with Media Center. I Upgraded to Windows 8.1 recently. Some of my Apps I had with Win. 8 were not compatible with 8.1. This next is my problem, When I install iTunes everything downloads fine until I click finish. @ windows pop up, 1 after the other. The 1st one says, " Application Apple Support not found, Uninstall iTunes and try download again. "  Then a second window says, " Error 2 ",  "The iTunes Application cannot run without the Apple Support ...."  What is this "Error 2" and is there a fix for this? I appreciate everyones knowledge in helping me come to a solution. as I aint no hi-tech redneck!    Thank you,  Bob Bryan

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

  • I was cleaning up my laptop to free up disk space, Itunes is now saying itunes was not installed correctly error 7 (windows error 14003) What do I need to do to get my itunes back?

    I was cleaning up my laptop to free up some disk space. I now can't get into my itunes ??? It's saying Itunes was not installed correctly error 7 (windows error 14003)
    What do I need to re-install to get my itunes back?

    Is there also another message, Rob, citing a particular file? If so what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)
    Are you running XP, Vista or 7? (I'm assuming 2000 must have just been a slip of the fingers.)

  • Safari 7.0.6 crashes: Dyld Error Message: Symbol Not Found

    After I did the latest MacOS update (10.9.5) Safari (7.0.6) no longer runs. I repaired permissions and also rebooted in safe mode so I could potentially remove any spurious plug-ins, but the last time I did this was with MaxOS 6 so I have no idea where to look in the current version.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
