HP pavilion dv6-61 48nr Entertainm​ent PC crashed and get error OxcOOOOOOf

Idifoblem with my pc-ware it had been hacked. Took it to a local businessman who agreed. Got it back and before I really cheup.ed it out--had a new router with a new password installed by internet provider. The IT who worked on it said he was going to "Reformat and reinstall windows". He called me to ask if I had backed up my personal files. I told him " no but remove everything ". He saved all kinds of files and reinstalled them. Within a day I started having problems again. I realized quickly that someone had remote access to my PC. Within a couple of days there was a hidden network set up using my router. My ISP said I was connected but I wasn't. They said it was my problem and should be reported. I was never able to get my settings to match the ones on his hidden network--naturally, since my pc was being remotely controlled. I was totally locked out of many files. There were a lot hidden, but I found a way to get them to show up. I could not get online and I got so angry that I opened the registry using the command regedit. This person probably thought I was too stupid to know anything. Anyway, I started deleting his files and crashed the PC. I had my back up discs and was going to reinstall. (Couldn't use them first time because whoever had hacked it had done something to the CD/DVD drive and it was stuck half open/half shut. The local guy put a used one in. I didn't check it before I deleted half the registry. 
I ran the diagnostic tests and the hard disk passed, as did the memory test...both the quick and the full. So I put my recovery disk in and ggrrrrr it gave me the message "Status: 0xc000000f.  Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."   At this point I was ready to destroy it...then I got on iPad, which I hate,  and did a search on the status/info I got and found hundreds had the same problem--all seemingly originating from different problems. Now I am wondering if there IS a way to restore it without spending a fortune on it. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!  Lexi 

Hi @Lexi_25 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. Sorry to hear about you getting hacked and I will be happy to help with the “boot selection failed error message”. You will need either an installation CD or a repair CD to fix this issue. This third-party link will show you how to create a repair CD, which you can do on another Windows 7 machine.

  • HP Pavilion dv4t-5100 CTO Entertainm​ent Notebook PC Graphic Card Replacemen​t

    Hello all,
    I have, as listed in the subject, an HP Pavilion dv4t-5100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had a few questions about it. First off, I bought it 2-3 years ago and the NVIDIA graphics card it came with has broken, and by broken I mean it doesn't function the way a working card would. To get into detail, it is a NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 630M 1GB, and there are updates for it, however, when I try to update, I experience the following, I can download the update just fine but when I go to restart to install the update is when I have problems. As my laptop starts up again, it crashes and I have to do a System Restore. Thus, I consider it to be broken.
    So, I wish for help from the HP Community.
    I wish to know if I can purchase a replacement to me installed on my laptop to get another 630M put in or if better yet, I can instead upgrade to a newer NVIDIA graphics card without having to buy a whole new laptop.
    Please help,
    Sincerely --RareFindsYou

    For your case of a dead GPU your only choice is to replace the board with same matching board with the GPU fixed. Otherwise if there is a eBay seller that does GPU repair is the only other way to fix the dead GPU problem. I doubt being 2-3 yrs old HP would repair or fix your dead GPU and if they do they would mostly likely swap the board with another board hopefully with the GPU fixed.

  • Need to rebrand Hp Pavilion DV7-3165 do entertainm​ent notebook

    An IT guy told me it needed to be rebranded, and I have tried the system recovery discs and they don't work. It says that the product information is invalid. HP IT guy told me to come to the forums and it will tell me step by step on how to fix it. it also says BOOTMGR is missing. I haven't found much information on it. Please help!

    Hi @bweb42 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx Notebook and Windows error message Bootmgr is missing.  The disks you are using should be exactly the same Operating system as what you had on the Notebook. Here is a link from Microsoft for the error. It gives you a step by step instructions. 
    If that does not help, here is a document on repairing and reinstalling the Operating system. 
    You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue.
    I hope this helps you out.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

    I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.  The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the  40GB size I wanted through disk management.
    It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
    I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
    1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
    2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
    3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
    Thanks!!

    Hi RanSri,

  • Pavilion dv6 system restore go's to 23 % and stops. I do not have a install disc Running Win.7

    What can I do to get windows back . I get a prompt to put in a installation disk. Can I get it to work without one.
    If not how can I get one
                                               Please Reply
                                                                          John

    Hi, John:
    You can make your own W7 installation/repair disk.
    Select the repair option which will be on the lower left side of the install screen after you boot from the disk.
    If you can't get the PC to recover and you can read the 25 character W7 product key on the bottom of the PC, you can use the install feature and install W7 back on your notebook.
    Here are the instructions for doing so.
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr overheats once in a while and shuts down

    My fiancee has a laptop that overheats once in a while and shuts down. She says when she turns it back on, it gives an error saying "There's a thermal temperature of 90". Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? She says it doesn't happen when she's running alot of things, it just seems to happen sometimes. I have yet to see it happen or the error message.

    Thank you. I will see if this works.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7 Home Prem; Error code 0xC1900101

    Have been trying to upgrade to Windows 10 (from Windows 7 Home Prem 64 bit). However, the upgrade fails showing an error code 0xC1900101. Tried uninstalling MCafee Antivirus and upgrading, but that fails too. Also, checked and installed all 'other' available system updates and tried. But no luck.During the installation process, the failure occurs when the system has finished copying and is in the process of installing drivers (that is, after the second restart). I have noticed that the 'installing drivers' process was also almost 90% complete. Once the second restart process begins, the system hangs and processor keeps running (and so does the cooling fan, at its highest speed). Earlier, had heating problems which used to hibernate my system during this process, but have fixed that now. And I get this new error message (in the subject above).Guess, the issue occurs when the system is trying to install drivers or when it is trying to upgrade its configuration. Need help!

    I dunno if this is related but I had an error as well during the upgrade on an HP DV5. You can find more information on the error if you analyze the dump file (.dmp) found in the Windows.BT folder right after the upgrade fails. You can use a utility like BlueScreenView. In my case, the upgrade crashed at around 75% of the total process (when configuring settings). Analyzing the dump file showed that the error was caused by a driver named 000.fcl, related to Cyberlink and their DVD player. Turns out this is used in the HP QuickPlay feature. After removing HP Quick Play, the upgrade proceeded as normal. Hope it helps anyone with a similar problem !

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Notebook - Internal Hard Drive Options

    Greetings,
    I just purchased an HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (at Costco), and so far it's been a great deal. Everything seems to be working just fine.
    Because I do a lot of development work in Virtual Images, I have been running a number of external Hard Drivers from the notebook over the couple of weeks since I've owned it (including an external SSD). All that seems to work fine.
    But, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to install a second Hard Drive or SSD in this Notebook Model. I saw on the HP site that some Notebooks allow the installation of a second Hard Drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest it can handle such a configuration.
    My primary objective for doing this would be to retain the original 1TB Hard Drive that came with the Notebook, but have a secondary SSD Drive to perhaps run the Paging activity from, when such functionality is needed upon running some of my larger Virtual Images.
    Any assistance with clarifying if this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

  • Can't Install Cyberlink PowerDVD on HP Pavilion DV6

    I recieved my HP Pavilion dv6-6145dx a couple of years ago and I was surprised to discover that CyberLink PowerDVD was not included with the notebook. I went to the HP Support drivers page and found PowerDVD (version 10) and downloaded it.
    However, every time I try to install it, it does nothing. I can run the setup file but before the screen appears it closes without warning.
    Any help is appreciated!

    It didn't come with the laptop, so I guess it doesn't work.
    But, upon inspection of the setup files, I decided to delete the VerCheck.dll file. Afterwhich setup managed to go through the screens and install perfectly.
    Is that dll file crucial to setup? Does deleting it cause problems to the program after it is installed?

  • HP Pavilion dv6 System Recovery disabled

    I bought my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook (running Windows 7) about 2 and a half years back.
    It worked beautifully for about an year and a half after which issues began to crop up. First, it was my battery that gave up (I operate it on direct power now with battery backup of around 5 minutes), then there were blue screen errors and the machine getting hot around the bottom left at times (mostly when I ran games). I still continued to use it without taking it to the techician. After a couple more months the DVD drive stopped working for no reason (it opens and closes but does not read the disks).
    I had it last week when the machine's fan (I guess it's the fan) started making loud grinding noises. The noises get louder when I'm on the internet. The technician took it down and gave the fan a proper vacuum but the noise persists. 
    Also, the system has slowed down due to virus attacks (I suppose). There are weird advertisements on this laptop when I run sites like youtube and google. These ads that don't appear on my other laptop. Some sites take an awful lot longer to load (mostly on Google Chrome). The system also, at times, just stops responding and I have to directly switch it off without properly shutting it down.
    Now, with some help from forums here I decided to run the 'System Recovery' but it displays the following message: 
    "Restore your computer to it's original factory condition (Disabled : Please use Recovery Media to recover your system)." I was given no disks for recovery at the time of purchase not that it would have been of any use as my DVD drive no longer works.
    With some online help I also ran Hard drive and Memory tests. The Hard Drive test gives the error: "hard disk 1 quick (303)." I gather that means, my hard disk is dying a slow death now.
    Now my system has ran down it's warranty and nothing seems to work. The machine seems to be in a tangle, what do I do?
    I somehow would love to factory reset my laptop without an external drive. Is that Possible? What am I looking at?

    I understand the problem.  HERE is a thread that gives the best possible solution for the same situation.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
