HP Pavilion g4 2131tx, Hard Disk Error after Blue Screen of Death

Hello! I do not know what section shoud i post this problem, I apologize for it.
So my laptop is freezing for a days after BSOD. When I leave my laptop overnight for downloading torrents, I always receive the message "Windows has recovered from unexpected shutdown." when i woke up.
I already disabled all non-microsoft services, start up items and yet the desktop is still freezing right after the welcome screen but the welcome screen does not load too long.
The desktop freeze for more than a minute then it will go back to normal again until my laptop went to BSOD
and received this error from UEFI "Hard Disk Error." after restarting.
I ran the Hardware Diagnostic Test and I got the result:
Failure ID: RW042K-6MT6RP-MFPX1F-61BK03
Product ID: 65H69PA#UUF
I tried cleaning up registry and defragmenting disk and still no luck.
* My laptop is HP Pavilion g4 2131tx and still under warranty until June 2014.
* I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Service Pack 1
* My RAM is 4gb with a processor of Intel Core i7
* My AV is microsoft security essentials
* I am using Advanced SystemCare for cleaning up registry and defragmenting.
I was wondering if I could change my hard disk while it's still under warranty.
Thanks for your help!

Here is the Service Manual:

See Page 39. It can take any 2.5 inch wide 9mm thick laptop SATA hard drive. They are industry standard, interchangeable.
Here is one I would recommend:

This is a nice compromise with size, speed and expense. You could install an SSD for maximum speed. Post back if you need help with software or anything else.

  • Hp Pavilion dv4 Notebook Hard Disk error

    Everytime I attempt to boot up my laptop, I am greeted with: "Hard Disk Error, Please run the Hark Disk Test in System Diagnostics, Hard Disk 1 (3F1)" Upon running the Hard Disk test, Quick test returns "Hard Disk 1 Fault", and Full test returns Hard Disk 1 Fault, SMART check returns as passed. What happened? Do I need to buy a new laptop?
    Edit: After pressing escape to exit, up at the top left it says: Hard Disk Test Failed, Gard Disk 1 Quick (303), Hard Disk 1 Full (305) 

    No you just need to replace the hard drive. Can we have the full model number? A good hard drive is going to cost $75 or so and a super fast solid state drive will be maybe $150+. You might still be able to migrate/clone data. You might also look at the C:\ drive in My Computer or This PC and see how full it is. If you delete some stuff off it might take away the error message although doubtful. 

  • SMART Hard Disk Error after replacing HD

    Hi!
    I SOOO hope that someboidy is able to help me.
    I am NOT a novice but I am stumped.
    I replaced the HD with the same model HD that the COMPAQ CQ58 came with because the old HD was shot - how that happend eludes me.
    Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD in I wanted to put OS on it but I get the following error right after pushing gthe power button on:

    I also went to the Boot Options in BIOS in order to start from a USB stick and put the USB HD in first place.
    When I reboot it does not recognise any USB stick. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally  works on all machines I recoverd so far.
    No whatsoever luck.
    As I mentioned before:
    I am stumped.
    I have no recovery CDs and can't make one since I don't run Win8 on any of my PCs.
    So, any suggestions????

  • Error 13 = Blue Screen of Death?

    Thought I'd try this board and see if anyone knows anything about 'error 13' and Panther.
    I have been plagued by this error message which pops up whenever I try to print from either of my printers or burn a CD. This all happened after I tried to load a demo version of Adobe Illustrator CS2.
    Over the last day I have tried the following:
    * deleted the apple.com.print preferences
    * reset the PRAM
    * unplugged, unpowered and restarted the printers and their USB connections
    * deleted the printers from the print setup utility and tried to reinstall them (but there too I get the 'error 13' message. Printers won't load but they do show up as if they loaded. Just won't work, that's all.
    * tried logging in as a new user, and then the printer message is "Not enough RAM" to print.
    * repaired the disk permissions from the CD
    Generally I've done everything I can think of... except to reload the OS, which I hesitate to do because I have to first load Jaguar, then the Panther update, then the other updates. Last time I tried that things didn't quite work out.
    I do have an external backup drive, which also got corrupted as I tried loading the Adobe Illustrator CS2 on that disk too. Dumb I know...
    So... anyone know what 'error 13' means?
    Is 'error 13' the Mac equivalent of the Windows Blue Screen of Death?
    Thanks for any input...

    Hello Pawel,
    I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines. In order to narrow down this issue, I think it would be best to try only acquire from both cards without doing any triggerring etc. Also when performing this test, I would only want to acquire from 8 channels on both cards to see if this reproduces it. If this works, we can slowly add more elements to narrow down what the issue is and make us more effective to solve the problem.
    I also wanted to ask if you have tried this setup on another machine and if it worked.
    Along with this, have you tried to create two Digital Tasks in MAX and try to acquire for the same amount of time to see if the issue reoccurs here? This would tell us if this problem is connected to the driver/computer or LabVIEW.

  • Two PCIe-6537 read error and blue screen of death

    Hi all
    I am reading two PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sample rate acquiring all 32 lines each with externally supplied clock and external trigger.
    When operating separately, no problem, but when two are read I get
    a) on average of 25% of time error reading the data (time out error but happening before the actually time set by timeout, i.e. immediately after trigger)  and
    b) a blue screen of death after 1h or so of constant operation.
    I have a feeling a) and b) are related and LV causes the system crash with so many errors. NI support seems to think otherwise. 
    I am using Dell Studio XPS 8100 and I have done all the firmware updates for the Chipsets etc. It has
    not changed anything.
    Changing single line to whole port reading does not change anything. 
    Any ideas what to try else?

  • ITunes 9.2 causes fatal error and "blue screen of death"

    I installed Itunes 9.2 this morning and whenever I tried accessing this version of Itunes, my system hangs and showed me the infamous “blue screen of death”. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes but nothing seems to work.
    Anyone encountering this problem and is there any way to solve this? Thanks!

    I was using v9.1.1.12 and could not synch my iphone with outlook although with other versions there was no problem so was keen to install the new version of iTunes yesterday (9.2.0.61). Installation went fine, iTunes opened up perfectly and read my music library and hey presto synched my phone with outlook. I was well pleased. Closed down itunes and went back to working A couple of hours later as my secretary had updated my calendar I plugged in my iphone and itunes started to open then.... disaster. The blue screen appeared.
    I restarted again, and again and again and the same thing happens everytime iTunes was opened (independently or when plugging my iphone in). Tried 4 times.
    I did a repair using itunes installer. No change stilled blue screened when opened. I then had the bright idea of uninstalling iTunes totally and reinstalling. No change - itunes begins to open then causes blue screen.
    The next step I uninstalled itunes. Did a disk defrag and then thought I would reinstall version 9.1.1.12 and install the newer version over the top. But hey you have guessed it, the older version would not open because the library it was using had been created with a newer version i.e. v9.2.0.61 - nice one iTunes!!
    So at the moment I have no iTunes at all so am stuffed. So, iTunes solves one problem but creates another. Do they ever check these things???

  • MacBook Pro Hard Disk Crashed after Frozen Screen

    Hi
    Very unpleasant experience with my first MacBook.  My MacBook Pro Book 13'' (late 2010 model) screen froze on start up.  Realised that the battery was low and plugged the power adapter in, and let the frozen screen continue hoping for it to start in a while, only to realise that the entire laptop heated up significantly.  I switchd the laptop off and let it simply recharge.
    No luck on restarting after laptop was fully charged despite several attempts and following all instructions on Apple website, including SMC reset.  I took the laptop down to the store and the Genius Bar team informed me that the hard disk had corrupted and they could not retrieve any data.
    Wondering if this is a common problem, as I have never had a hard disk failure before and specially surprising as it is relatively new laptop (<1 year) old ? Seems like a technical fault with the laptop prima facie.  Some data was not backed up recently, and now I need to look for a recovery specialist, with costs to bear despite Apple Care.
    Any suggestions on recovery specialists in London who do not charge a fortune ?
    Thank a Lot !

  • Iphone 5s stuck in recovery mode after BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH (BSOD)

    Hi
    I have a replacement Iphone 5S which is out of warranty now and I am suffering from severe BSOD issues. I used the phone for a week and it was working fine till I experienced the first BSOD, the phone went to restart automatically and it was fine. Few hours later it again went into BSOD and recovered. Slowly this issue got prominent and I had to hard reset the phone to bring it back again. I tried to restore the phone to factory settings through iTunes a couple of times but it still keeps on having BSOD. Now when I turn on my phone it shows the apple logo and then screen goes blank and the phone switches off after a min or so. If I connect my iPhone to my macbook it says detected an iPhone in recovery and needs to be restored but when i initiate the process my phone shows the apple logo then shows the progress bar underneath the logo but before the process can start the phone shows the BSOD and shuts down. I do not know what to do now as I cannot even open the phone and I do not have apple support in the country I am in.
    If anyone is able to understand and help me here I would greatly appreciate it, and please let me know if you need anymore information.
    PS This BSOD has been completely random and was not triggered by any specific app or event.
    Thank you!!

    I have basically the same problem. I haven't used my phone for over a week now because it's stuck in this loop. In my case, I've been able to restore the phone a number of times but soon after I get it set up again, it just dies again and goes back to the loop.
    I went to my local Apple store and had an meeting with a genius. He spent some time looking at it... We actually got it to restore and die again right in front of him.. but he had no idea what was wrong with it. He told me it's no longer under warranty so I have to buy a new phone. I told him about all the people I've read about on threads just like this but he didn't seem interested. I can't believe I'd be expected to buy a new phone for what is obviously a problem caused by these iOS 8 patches. There are so many people having the exact same problem for the exact same reason.
    I have an iPhone 5 (32gb).
    At this point, I'm just going without a phone.. which is very unfortunate because we're in a terribly hectic cycle at work and I'm basically impossible to contact out of the office now. I'm getting tired of hearing people tell me I should go by an Android phone.
    I've never had a problem with an Apple product before. Would there be any use of contacting Apple support via phone after already having met with a genius?

  • Iphone won't turn on After blue screen of death, even after press sleep and home buttons simultaneously.

    I was watching YouTube on my iPhone 5 and all the sudden the screen turned blue and phone stop responding to any buttons. I some how pressed the volume buttons and power button and the phone went off but since then it can't turn back on. I tried to press the power and home button simultaneously but still nothing. After that I removed the case from my phone and noticed there was moisture on the back of the phone, I didn't drop the phone in water. Any suggestion how to turn on this piece of crap. Thanks!

    hopefully they'll have your iphone in stock!!! if they do, they should just replace the phone.

  • I updated Adobe Flash player and now each time I use Firefox for video get a serious error with blue screen of death pointing at device drive ati2dvag - BUT ok in IE 8

    See above

    I tried updating my ATI driver but I continued to have intermittent problems (system hangs and unexpected reboots) with current versions of Shockwave in Firefox - a right pain in the neck. I noticed that the date changed on the driver ... but not the version ... ??!!
    So I am now back where I started (I rolled back the device driver):-
    Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64
    ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, device driver version, 8.401.0.0 dated 27/07/2007.
    Haven't the folks at Adobe/Firefox heard of 'backwards compatibility' ?!
    It seems I am stuck now ... until a version of Flash comes out which addresses my specific problem ...
    Does anybody have a solution ??
    MANY THANKS!

  • "GRUB HARD DISK ERROR" possibly after update

    Hi!
    I rebooted my com to a GRUB HARD DISK ERROR after fiddling with wine and updating through pacman. Even the grub menu isn't shown... it just stuns there. Previously, I killed X server a few times using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace... i suspect maybe pacman was still updating when i did that or sth.
    However, the files on the disk are still accessible, when i booted with knoppix. Not really sure what caused this. Any ideas greatly appreciated...

    Managed to get in fine with super grub boot disc. Any idea how i should proceed? Reinstall grub or sth?
    My pacman log shows that there had been a successful kernel update and...

    sometimes when i turn on my laptop , it appears " smart hard disk error. The smart hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. To ensure not data loss, please backup the content immediately and run the hard disk test in system diagnostic. Hard disk error (301) "

    Hi max40,
    A hdd error 301 is a error there will come if you harddrive is dying or are dead. I will recommend you to get a backup of your data asap before it totally dead and fet the HDD replaced. If you are under warranty(check here) contact HP support and get them to help you with a new HDD. If you are out of warranty I will recommend you to buy a new HDD and replace it with the old one.

  • SMART Hard Disk Error - Replace Hard Drive?

    A couple of days ago I recieved an error when I started my computer (HP Pavilion dv6-6071eo), saying "SMART Hard Disk Error" followed by a message telling me that the SMART hard disk check has detected and imminent failure. It told me to backup my files and then press F2 and run a hard disk test. On the last row it displayed "Hard Disk 1 (301)". I tried to run the hard disk test, which failed instantly. I also ran the BIOS hard disk test. It passed the short test without problems and then stopped rather shortly after the long test started with the error "Hard Disk 1 Full 305". My computer has also been running slowly over the last week. From what I've read so far it seems I have to replace my Hard Drive. Is this correct? If yes, would this be a suitable (functional) replacement: http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010151237/western-digital-black-2-5-320gb-7200rpm-sata-300-16mb/#intcmp=searchProvider_dacsa. Also, would it be worth it (and possible) upgrading to an SSD for noise and heat reduction, which is a problem with this laptop (and several other simular laptops from HP) compared to other laptops. Also, it might be good to mention my warranty has expired.

    Have you checked to see if there is any free space left on the hard drive? A full hard drive will make the system run very slowly and it can also keep the system from working properly if it is full enough. The fact that you pass the short test means there is nothing major mechanically wrong with the drive. Just right click on the icon for the main drive likely C:\ in "Computer: and select "properties". If the drive is not actually full then I suggest replacing it. Yes, if you can afford an SSD there is no question that is the way to go. There is nothing not good about an ssd other than an occasional struggle to install it. I have been using ssds for a while and I have never had the installation problems we often see reported here but don't be dissuaded, we are here to help .
