Hp m9500z crashed, able to restart and restore, now no HP splash screen, just hangs

Hp m9500z crashed, able to restart and restore, now no HP splash screen, just hangs. after unplugging power for several hours, i was able to get system running, ran disk scans for errors, no problem.  few minutes after vista is up it crashed again.  when restarting all fans run full speed, no hp splash screen on boot, nothing.  i have tried resetting CMOS using the jumper trick, nothing.  removed the battery, nothing.  i have even tried the blind tricks i have seen suggested, like pressing F10 for 8 seconds, etc.  during one of the last times before it totally died out i ran the BIOS system diagnosis, everything was fine.  I am thinking I have a corrupted bios.  Any ideas? Could be a fried motherboard, but I am hoping its not that bad.  Product num nh836av-aba.

From your description I would suggest unplugging the video card and trying the onboard video.  Your mb specs should be these: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01635688&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
Please ensure you have some esd protection and NEVER delve into your unit without first physically unplugging it from the power at the wall

  • HT201263 after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen

    after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen. I have done this several times. One time, the display went to the home screen, but immediately went back to the white screen when I plugged it into the charge cord. The music continued to play however. help!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    first try a different usb cable, remove all other usb devices, and try a different port in back on desktops if possible.  if no luck see these
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column  two drives plus possibly  a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install.   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

    Hello Bethandfive,
    You may need to restore the iPhone while it is in what's called 'recovery mode.'
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Notes:
    In certain situations, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically go into recovery mode after an update or restore issue. If your device is already in recovery mode, you can attempt to restore using iTunes.
    Cheers,
    Allen

    I updated my iphone and restored, now it is not being activated as this cannot be done anywhere in India. the help desk at a store asked me to restore it but there isn't any restore button now!

    A compatible SIM card would be from AT&T and would not work in India.  It sounds as if your iPhone was hacked to unlock it and when you updated it, the hack was removed, thus relocking it to AT&T.

  • After going through and deleting a bunch of e-mails i got a crash dump, then restarted and as my computer tried to load, i got another crash dump and then when!

    I went through my e-mails and took out a lot of ones that looked like junk, then went to upload my Facebook page, and I got an error message about your box was full, so i emptied the cache. Tried to restart and got a crash dump and had to shut it off to restart. It restarts in the large format, so you have to restart again, and it crash dumped when it tried to run. Not sure but this OTshot keeps coming on and didn't know how to fix it when it pops up as my page tries to start! This causes error messages and my Flash Player error about not loading or accessing properly!

  • Problem: Auto restarting and restor error 9

    Hi,
    I've purchased a 2nd hand iphone 3gs, it was working fine for 10 days.
    after that suddenly it became auto-restarting , when I tried to restore it,

    Can you help me please, my iphone is not working for 3 days.
    and it has no warranty.

    Just doublechecking. Have you tried the advice on error code 9 from the following document?

  • Firefox 4 initially worked fine, but after a back-up and restoration (now on a hybrid disk) it cannot find the bookmarks and crashes when I attempt to open the HTML file

    I installed Firefox 4 on my 2010 13" MBP, standard configuration. It worked fine except that it didn't recognize any of the add-ons I was using and, to be frank, I don't like the interface as much as v.3. But ...
    Then I backed up the entire HD, wiped the HD, removed it and replaced it with a Seagate hybrid HD. I then booted from the b/u and installed the entire HD contents on the new hybrid HD. Everything runs fine except for one thing -- Firefox 4 now will not recognize my bookmarks.
    I tried reinstalling FF4 but this made no difference.
    I did the b/u and restoration with Carbon Copy Cloner which I have used successfully for many b/u and restore operations on this and the white MB I previously owned.
    Uh oh! I just tried to save a new bookmark (of this page) and it did not save -- or at least, it did not show in the "Show all Bookmarks" pane.
    HOWEVER, when I start typing in a URL, it FF4 comes up with the completed URL in a flash. e.g. I typed "wiz" and FF4 showed me the completed URL (which should be in my Toolbar bookmarks and which I visit t least once daily).
    Kind regards

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *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.
