HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK N5190 FAILS TO BOOT-UP AND SHUTS DOWN AFTER POWER SWITCH TURNED ON...

When I press the on switch slider, the notebook shows lights then CPU fan begins to spin.  It immediately slows down then stops.  Power light stays on, but nothing else happens.  No startup screen, nothing.  To do it again, power cable must be disconnected then reconnected.  Does anybody has any idea? Please help.

Once you get it to turn on, I would check to see if there is a BIOS update available for your machine.

  • Is Lion slow booting up and shutting down?

    After I installed Lion, my macbook pro is slow to boot up and shut down.  How can you turn off "re-open windows when logging back on"?

    The beeps on startup are often indicative of RAM problems.  The opening chime is the only normal noise on startup.  Shutdown should be essentially silent.  To the Apple store, PRONTO!
    Ciao.

  • New 27" iMac taking ages to boot up and shut down

    i JST bought, literally a week ago, a new 27" imac core 2 duo and it takes forever to boot up and shut down
    boot up: 30 - 40mins
    shutdown: undetermined (shut down at 1am, was still shutting down at 7am when i got up for work!)
    anyone any ideas?

    For the startup part, I would reset PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and once it gets to the Desktop, open System Preferences +Startup Disk+ pane. Make sure your internal drive is selected (highlighted) as the startup disk choice.
    Not sure about the shutdown issue, since there are many potential causes. One could be a running process that is having a problem quitting. Try starting up and then immediately shutting down (give it a few minutes to fully start up but shut down before you run anything else). Does it shut down quickly, or do you have the same problem?

  • Why is it slower to boot up and shut down

    For the last few months, at least since I updated to Mac OS 10.7.3 (this may not be related), I have noticed that the boot up sequence is a lot longer (4 to 5 times) than it used to be.  Although not as extreme, the shutting down sequence is also taking a lot longer than previously.  My software updates are always done and I run VirusBarrier X6 and BOINCManager in the background.  Is this normal or is this symptomatic of a problem?  Thanks

    It's symptomatic of a problem. You might start with:
    Boot into Safe Mode and do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When it completes then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    If this does not help then create a new user account. Log into the new account and then see how startups and shutdowns go. If things have improved you have issues created in your normal user account.
    I would also suggest uninstalling software like VirusBarrier. Unless you require BOINC software I'd uninstall it, too. Also, check your Login Items in Users & Groups. These can prolong both startup and shutdown.

  • Satellite C660-106 wont get past boot screen and shuts down

    hi all new here
    well we have had our c660 106 for 2 month now,but the missus decided to drop it from about 6 inches high, it stayed on but the led screen is cracked internally as the colours were bleeding over etc,unwatchable.
    It stayed on untill today and ive been pricing screens up.(had it connected through rgb to my home lcd)
    i had to unplug the laptop and turn it off,but now the problem is when i switch it on it will do the inital fire up to the toshiba black screen where i have the options 0f f2 and f12 but then immediately turns off completely, we are worried now as we have a 1 yr old and we have everything she has ever done on there,
    is there anything i can try
    i know warranty wont cover it as its obvious the screens broken and not just failed.
    any help would be brill
    thanks

    Hi nicolas221078_1
    This sounds to be some damage to the motherboard or cooling system and this is why it is now turning off all I can say is are you able to access the BIOS if so then it may be the HDD but if not then you will know 100% it is the motherboard.
    If the HDD is ok then you can take it to a data recovery service that should be able to recovery most or all of the data that is stored on the HDD.
    also just another thing to point out is to check the memory is sat correctly in the laptop this will not cause any issues with a warranty, also have you though about contense insurance they may cover the damage laptop.

  • My hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheatin​g problem and shuts down suddenly. please help..

    my hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheating problem and shuts down suddenly.  please help..

    with that age of laptop we immediately suspect an issue with dust clogging the exhaust fan or the thermal compound between the heatsink and fan breaking down and needing to be replaced. The laptop needs to be opened and inspected in other words. 

  • Slow booting and shut down. How?

    I just bought my macbook pro 13" just a month ago, and now the motherboard has crashed. Sent for repair and is useable now, but the booting up and shutting down took longer than before. What should I do?

    Hey Joseph! Thanks for your help. Now the shutting down seems to be faster by a bit. But it still shows the blue screen which i hate to see. Starting was as usual slow.
    The only program that needs running upon start up was MSN. And it usually doesn't gets signed in by itself even when it's checked at "auto sign in". And I'm not sure if msn itself is having any issue, or has it got something to do with my mac, because sending messages online was kinda terrible. There were many times where I typed a chunk of messages and after 5-10 mins then they told me that it wasn't sent at all. Plus it keeps logging me out. SO ANNOYED.
    And lastly, safari web browser KEEPS CRASHING. that i have to force quit it many many times. I wrote to Apple support alr. Hope that they will get back to me soon abt this. It's kinda frustrating to use it when there are so many issues whereby I don't even know the cause of.

  • Extremely slow boot and shut down

    I've been experiencing VERY slow boot up and shut down times (in excess of one minute for both booting and shutting down). I've removed everything from my login items and I still have the same problem. I have a late 2007 black MacBook with 10.5.3 on it. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try running a cache cleaner and clear out all system and user cache files. Onyx is a good freeware application for this. There are several others of course.

  • Mac Mini LED blinks and shuts down at startup, takes 2-3 tries to boot...

    I have a Mac Mini PPC 1.42GHz. When i boot it up after non-use (cold), the LED blinks once per second and it boots all the way into MacOS and shuts down several seconds later. It will usually do the same thing the second time around. On third boot its usually fine. Not thinking its related, I have reinstalled MacOS anyways. No good...
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The flashing LED is usually indicative of a power-on self test failure, normally leading to the system failing to boot at all. Once per second would indicate the system fails to recognize available RAM.
    The fact this happens when the system is cold (with an implication that it doesn't happen when the system is warm) might indicate the RAM module is no longer firmly inserted, or that the contact face on the pins has oxidized slightly. In this situation, I'd begin by opening the system and removing and then reseating the RAM - in the G4 minis this is relatively easy since there is only one RAM slot, and it is exposed with just the top of the casing removed.

  • MacBook Retina shuts down after a few seconds after every boot

    Hi there
    My retina macbook keeps shutting down after booting and rebooting by its own a minute later. No error message is displayed or anything like it, it just magically shuts down.
    It had been working fine until now but it seems to be going crazy for whatever reason...
    When it shuts down by itself, I can't turn it on myself. It does it on its own even if the lid is closed and then shuts down again after about 30 seconds.
    This only happens when it's connected to a power source (it doesn't even start when it's not).
    I have tried to reset the PRAM without success.
    The only time the issue doesn't happen is when I do a Safe Boot.
    Can anybody tell me what is up with my Macbook (I really need it for work AND school).
    Thanks

  • Mac shuts down after boot. Is it the logic board?

    mac shuts down after boot. Doesn't go beyond gray screen with apple.  Is it the logic board?
    I do not have the start up disks to safe boot or check the hardware.
    Any ideas what the problem is or is it junk?  It is 8 years old.

      Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
    is being checked.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    I'd let the machine sit for awhile in open firmware & see if it stays alive.  Do a few prints.
    Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."
