HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx will not boot with continual blinking capslock

Hi,I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx laptop with Windows 7 64 bit that will not boot up or go to the Bios screen. When the laptop is turned on, you hear the system fan start, power button light comes on, and the caps lock button starts to continually blink once every three to four seconds. The HDD activity light is also on but is solid red with no blinking. No changes have been made to the laptop and it was working perfectly fine just a few hours earlier. I have attempted the hard reset of the computer and reseating of the memory cards, but the laptop still would not boot. Any help on figuring out what is wrong with the computer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. HP Pavilion dv7-4065dxProduct # WQ861UA#ABA

hp dv7-4065dx caplock key continous blinking the same problem i also faced but do the below step which solved your problem Bios corruption power on your laptop block the fan air through cotton or any cloths 10-15 minutes (after heating) then power off and remove the cloths and power on it should be display visit hp driver and download the latest bios & bios tool first install bios tool and select usb to store connect a pendrive for location after installed then install your latest bios after sometime it will auto reboot and install the latest bios we sure while updating bios power adpator must be connect problem solved........

Pavilion dv7-3165dx will not boot up

This pavilion dv7-3165dx has worked flawlessly for 8 years. Now when I turn it on, the lights come on and the fan runs, but nothing loads up, not Windows, not BIOS, nothing. The screen stays blank. I have cycled the power several times with the same result. I checked the BIOS battery, and it is good: 3.25 volts.

Hi there @Terry49,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that your notebook is no longer starting up properly, and I am happy to help with this.
I would start out with this process, and see if there is any change. It is possible that just the hard reset is required.
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Also check your power adapter, and if you have another one, try it out, and also try a different wall outlet.
I hope this helps.

HP Pavilion DV7; System will not boot; Memory Test Failed using Advanced System Diagnostics

Not sure exactly how, but I managed to contracted several variants of the nasty Rovnix virus and now my system will not even boot into Safe Mode after trying to restore to several different restore points. Enabled bootlogging, but not sure how to retrieve the log.
Currently am able to get into HP Advanced Diagnostics and began Start-Up Test. Test failed on Memory Module:

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

MBP15 1.83 GHz Will Not Boot With 3GB Upgrade

I'm trying to increase my MBP's ram to the 3GB limit. This is a 1.83 GHz 15" model.
It will not boot with 2GB & 1GB sticks of identical mfg & specs. It will boot with one or the other...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stradioti

Hi
according to the Apple specs for the 1.83GHz mbp's - 2Gig of memory is the limit......
512MB (single SODIMM) of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 memory on 1.83GHz configuration; and 1GB (single SODIMM) on 2.0GHz configuration; two SODIMM slots support up to 2GB
Crucial Memory says the same.

HP G62 Will Not Boot With Power Cord Plugged In

I have an HP G62 laptop that is about four years old. I've had a couple of problems with it before that were resolved relatively satisfactorily, however five or six months ago I started having a new issue. The laptop will not boot with the charging cord plugged in, whether there is a battery in it or not. Nor will it return from sleep mode (screen black, status light on the power button flashing) with the charging cord plugged in, whether there is a battery in it or not. It simply shuts down and I end up with an error screen the next time I boot up. I have tried other charging cords and it has been the same, however the cord will still charge the battery. This means I have to charge the battery, unplug the cord, boot up the computer. This annoyance is worsened by the fact that the battery is old and unable to hold charge for very long at all and I fear one day even the battery won't be enough to boot the computer.Can I fix the power cord issue? Should I buy a new battery? Or let my computer give up the ghost and scrounge for a new one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the charger input could possibly need replaced and/or the charger

My HP pavilion dv7-4069wm will not come on.

Hello, my HP Pavilion DV7-4069wm will not come on. The screen is black and the caps lock blinks 1 time every 3 seconds. Is it my CPU or motherboard?

System will not boot with Seagate 3Tb expansion drive plugged in.

I have a HP Pavilion HPE h8- 1214 Desktop , I recieved a Seagate 3TB expasion drive as a gift but when plugged in, the system will not boot. It turns on but thats it. It never gets to the boot sequence. I have it plugged into the top 3.0 usb slot and have tried all of the other slots as well with no sucess. But if I leave it unplugged the system boots right up. I can then plug it in and it works fine. I have plugged it into my wifes HP All- In- One and it boots fine and works. I have a WD 2TB drive that works fine as well on my system . I have searched Segates support for hours and all they say is to change the boot sequence. Have tried that, no go. What they dont get is no matter what I do if that drive is plugged in it never gets as far as booting and reading the boot sequence. Please help. Thank you!

Hi NcBunky,
Are you using Win 7 64 bit? Did you update the Texas Instruments (TI) USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller?
I have an H8 1380t PC. Updated the TI USB 3.0 driver and had the same problem.
When booting the PC with the USB 3.0 external drive connected to the PC the PC would not boot. When booting the PC with only the mouse, keyboard, and a USB 2.0 external drive attached the PC would boot. Once booted you could attach the USB 3.0 drive and it worked fine.
Solution was to roll back (reinstall) the TI USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller to the original factory installed driver.
System now boots with the external USB 3.0 drive attached.

HP Pavilion Elite m9258 will not boot up. Won't recognise USB ports -mouse keys etc

HP Pavilion Elite M9258
70 percent of the time will not boot up.
Computet light is on. DVD drive will open and shut. Fans sound slightly quieter when this happens.
The monitor comes on but the light goes to orange. When I press any of the monitor buttons, it flashes a message for a few seconds telling me it is in sleep mode and invites me to move the mouse or press a key to continue
The problem is that the USB ports are not recognised by the computer at this point. The infra red mouse light flashes briefly when the computer is switched on then goes and remains off. The keyboard is also unresponsive.
The sole fix that I can find is to repeatedly turn the computer off and on again. After 70 -100 attempts ( over 4 to 6 hours) it suddenly boots up normally. The problem began a year ago and is increasing in duration and severity.

I have unplugged all external devices like you told avro500 to do and I did finally get it started but the computer still freezes and it is doing it more often as time goes by! I even paid HP support the $100 dollars (or around that amount) to fix it but it keep happening even after they worked on it but it was after the 7 days or what ever their policy is! They downloaded some security suites and ran their scans! They left Advanced system care, ccleaner and superantispyware on my computer and I was just wondering if they could be conflicting with my paid norton internet security? I have become very flustrated because first off I paid a lot of money for this computer and it's not even 2 years old yet and I also have paid HP a lot of money to fix it and all the guy from India could say to me was "I have been working on this computer and it hasn't froze up so the problem must be fixed!" Well it's not!! and I don't know enough to fix it myself so thats why I paid you a hundred dollars to do it for me! haha thanks for any help!

Pavilion tx 1000 will not boot up

I was using my pavilion tx 1000 a few months ago and the screen suddenly started to fade to full white and this happened. My notebook will not boot up after powering on. The lights come on except for the wifi and mute button indicators. The fan starts and then stops after a few seconds. The screen remains blank. I took it to a family friend who changed my motherboard and it's been working for about a few weeks. The screen faded again like the first time two weeks ago but I left the computer alone and tried to turn it on again and it magically worked. Just today I tried to turn it on after what seemed to be normal use without any problems and the same boot up problems occurred. Does anyone have a solution or at least an explanation? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem. I finally got my HP tx 1220us to boot at power up and also start automatically after reboot. All without replacing the motherboard. It's been nearly two days now and the computer has been booting up without a problem.
I do not know what cleared up the problem. I did try all of the solutions offered on the net such as:
1. Removing the Norton Antivirus
2. checking connection for ram, hard drive etc.
3. Stopped the sleep/hibernation mode.
Nothing worked. HP suggested that I replace the motherboard at cost of $399. I could not accept this simple and easy solution, not yet. Not until, someone could tell me which part of the motherboard was bad or at least get me the error codes from POST.
I found out that one can buy for under $9, a simple display unit, which would tell you the POST error code and what the error was in the POST operations. However, this unit works only if you have a PCI slot or USB and Parallel printer port. The Tx1220 does not have the PCI slot or the parallel printer port. Technically, one can buy a parallel to USB adapter for under $20.
I checked with Geek Squad. They wanted $70 to run tests on the motherboard. So I decided to do something else for a change.
I took the following steps:
First, I restored the Operating System as soon as I got the notebook to boot up. The computer started booting up at first try and even restarted after Windows restarted the computer.
Second, I also replaced the Norton Internet Security 60-day subscription installed automatically by HP by default to plain Symantec antivirus.
(Note- Windows does not do a clean uninstall of NOrton Internet Security or the Antivirus program. You will need the Norton removal tool from Symantec to do a better job.)
Also, I later removed the symantec antivirus program and replaced with the free AVG program.
Third, I disabled CLCApssvc. (I believe this program controls the webcam- not sure what else it does. You will see this program listed in the error message -windows event viewer).
Fourth, I also changed the screen resolution to low/medium settings,
Fifth, I stopped the sleep and hibernation mode in the power settings.
I do not know what or which of the above actions actually cleared up the problem. It is a mystery.
I strongly believe that this is not a hardware problem rather a software problem. Something happens in between after POST completes its process and the OS takes over. I might be wrong but, either SAV or CLcapsvcs leave behind a conflicting set of instructions, which stops the boot up process to Windows.

Airport extreme will not boot with USB hard disk plugged in.

Hi there,
I'm using the Airport Extreme Base Station, and I find that if I have a USB hard disk plugged into it, it will not boot up, it only hang-ups with an amber light, and stays there indefinitely. It's not a terrible issue because it can be overcome by unplugging the disk then rebooting, but it's irritating, especially when I'm not home and there is a power temporary outage and my wife can no longer access the internet or I can no longer access my disks over the internet.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Marc

I'm going to have to replace the unit, as I'm unable to turn off DHCP services, which is wreaking havoc on my server based environment.
Considering THIS issue *AND* the major DHCP show stopper, frankly, I'm debating etiher the fire pit or tossing the damned thing into the intersection and watching it be reduced to the trash that it is.
Either way, there'll be 7 feet of pack ice in **** before I buy another Apple networking product.
I'll decide later, with a jaundiced eye, regarding our XServe unit. Might reformat it to Linux...

Pavilion g6 ID46 will not boot

Product: Pavillion g6 ID46
Serial # [edited by Moderator]
Product # A6Z74UA#ABA
OP sys: Windows 7 Home Prem OA
My husband's Pavillion G6 will not boot. What happened: returned to the computer after being away for a while, shook the mouse to wake it up, and the screen "exploded into lots of colors and moving pixels." Screen went black, then a "would you like to start over in safe mode" screen popped up. He attempted a safe start, but it failed and gave him a Bios Application Error 501. He tried to restart the computer, but it hangs on the "Starting Windows" screen with the 4-color icon.
I have:
Removed the battery and tried to restart. No good.
Took hard drive and and reseated it. Ditto.
Tried to start in Safe Mode, before and after what follows below. "Loading files" always get stuck on Windows\System32\drivers\CLASSPNP.SYS
Burned and ran a Repair disc. Took 4 hours and the program ran to the end when I was asked to restart. Computer hung on the "Starting Windows" screen. (I have let this screen run for over 5 hours without it changing.)
Ran the System Repair program twice, same results.
Ran Start Up Tests. Passed Primary Hard Disk Self Test, Hard Disk SMART Check, and System Memory Test (100% passed)
Tried restoring BIOS using Windows + B and power with several attempts. Power button LED stays on, about 20 seconds later a small LED on 'caps lock' button begins flashing white Twice. Black screen and nothing happens after 5 minutes. Looked this up and 2 blinks is supposed to be BIOS corruption.
Error Log lists these: Hard disk 1 Quick 303, Error 501, and Error 03F0.
I do not have a great deal of computer smarts, so appreciate any help you can give, especially if the help is in simple and easy to follow terms.
Mahalo in advance!

X79A-GD65 (8D) will not boot with 4930K or 3930K

Short version:
My system will not boot but gets stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization"
Detailed description:
I just bought this system and am when I tried to start it it got stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization". I have removed everything that is not necessary (gfx-card, HDDs, etc.) and only have the CPU and one memory stick inserted (in slot 1 as per the manual). I have also unplugged and put back all power cables from the PSU several times. I have also tried using BIOS A and B.
As I read on this forum that a BIOS update was needed for IVY-Bridge CPUs I bought a 3930K today to see if I could get the system up and running but it still gives me the same error code.
My board serial number is 601-7760-010B1312109204, assuming it is manufactured 1312 = December 2013.
I don't know the BIOS revision as I have never managed to get past the 09 status code.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Bought this monster PC as I have a delivery for a client in need of some RAM-heavy processing, so am really starting to feel stressed out about this by now.
Thanks in advance!
System details:
- MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) X79 S-2011 ATX
- INTEL CORE I7 4930K 3.4GHZ 12MB S-2011
- INTEL 530 80GB SATA SSD MLC RESELLER KIT
- INTEL 530 480GB SATA SSD MLC BULK (4 of these)
- FRACTAL DESIGN INTEGRA R2 750W
- ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI SILENT
- KINGSTON 64GB 1600MHZ DDR3 ECC REG CL11 DIMM (4X16GB) W/TS (two kits, 128GB in total, don't really need ECC but that's what I could find needing 16GB sticks)

even compared to just 10 years ago sales staff have became really dumb as there just hiring people who do not care about anything as long as they get there cut of a sale (usually all they know is basic Consumer parts they stock) and nearly non of them unless they specialize in that level of equipment will have 0 idea what they work with on a pro level part (ECC memory tends to be used on servers and Professional workstations so if they do not use that type of gear then they probably have no idea what ECC really is at all)!
also in that time some major things have happened especially with computer parts like the memory controller moved from the Chipset to the CPU same with the SATA controller , onboard GPU (thats now on the CPU and some have it some don't) and alot of other things and I guess that the people you dealed with had no idea the memory support has very little to do with the board (all the board can do is have BIOS Timing sets now and lists of parts it supports) and is now to do with the CPU alot more as it has the important stuff on it (there very close to a SOC (System On Chip) now)!
if you plan on building another computer remember to do some research yourself before you get a CPU as it is nearly the most important thing of all and they have different features tied to them and do not expect sales guys to have a idea unless there also a Technical support staff member too and work on computers that are of the same class your trying to make and have at least used the same level gear (usually if your doing something like that find a friend who is a computer nerd tell him what your trying to do and get him to help you choose all the parts)!
let me know how it goes when you get the Xeon and have it installed?
