Hp pavillion desktop does not boot

I have an hp pavillion with Win7 installed. It was freezing from time to time and only could be rebooted after the freezes, until it just stopped  booting. It does not even show the BIOS screen and does not beep. Monitor shows "no signal" box. I've tried using a video card on the motherboard instead of the additional one I have, and also tried disconnecting hard drive and CD rom- no success. Reseating memory cards did not help either. Is there any way I can test what is wrong with it?

Having same problems with my Pavilion Slimline s3340.uk. Bad motherboard! Mine is a Foxconn. Looking for a suggested replacement part for mine as i cant find a direct replacement unit anywhere.

  • Satellite A105 WIN XP does not boot or load...

    Ok, so my wife's laptop has a boot issue. Model is A105-S4284
    The Toshiba/Phoenix screen loads, but does not boot/load XP. It gives a black screen, then sits for a few secs and restarts. it will continue this loop indefinetely as far as I can tell. When this happened, she complained that it has been taking longer for it to boot into XP recently. (Wish she had told me before)
    I can get to BIOS system utilites, Boot menu, and can access F8/Win Advanced options boot choices. I have tried the following:
    Safe Mode
    Safe Mode w/command prompt
    Last known GCFG
    Disable Auto restart on failure
    I have also done a battery pull and unseated the memory, even swapping left/right, and attempted boot from just one mempry module, all with no change.
    Apparently her DVD/optical drive is toast (apparently has been) so I can't do a recovery disc, but I did make a recovery USB drive. No dice there either.
    What have I not done? Since I can access the adv. opt. menu it seems winXP is still there. most likely she shut it down while XP was installing something, and now there is some type of error in the registry or somewhere, but I can't seem to recall or remember what my next steps would be to gain access to I can try to clean it up and recover.
    I would do a complete wipe and start from scratch, but her entire work portfolio is on the HDD and she (foolishly) has not backed it up, at least not recently. Is my best bet to get an outboard drive enclosure and set the jumpers to slave, so I can attempt to recover the data that way? 
    I'm a bit stubborn, and know my way around a computer, and I refuse to give up and drop it off at the geek squad.
    Please help!

    First things first. You should rescue the files.
    Remove the hard drive and place it in an enclosure accessible from a desktop via USB.

  • HP Z620 does not boot when external Seagate hard drive is connected

    I'm troubleshooting an HP Z620 workstation with 32GB RAM, one 500GB HDD + one 1TB HDD running Win 7 Enterprise 64 bits, this user has 2 external USB 3.0 HDDs,  one Buffalo 2TB  + one Seagate Desktop Backup Plus 4TB; the problem comes when the external Seagate HDD is connected and the PC is turned one, for some reason the PC does not boots, it shows a message that states "Non-disk or no boot disk error" and sometimes it tries to boot, but then goes thru the "Windows repair option" or "Start Windows normally" routine, none of these results on starting the PC.
    The only way this PC starts and works properly is when PC is started with the external Seagate HDD disconnected and then connected once the Win 7 is up and running; the problem described above does not happens with the external Buffalo 2TB HDD and the Seagate HDD have been tested throughly and no errors or problems have been detected on it.
    I'll really appreciate your attention to this, as well as your prompt response.

  • H8-1414 does not boot due to bios update problem

    Hi, I did a BIOS update  on my desktop last night , now it does not boot up  and the motherboard send 8 long beeps with no video output. It seems that 8 beeps correspond to motherboard  BIOS problem I was pressing ESC and F10 keys to enter Bios settings but no luck...always 8 beeps and no video. Need to access BIOS setting on the screen or do BIOS reset but don't know how to do it on this case. Any help ?...Thanks! HP ENVY H8-1414M3970CM MotherboardAMD FX-6120 , 8 GB RAMAMD RADEON HD7450 VIDEO

    Hi buddy,
    You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.

  • HP m9300t desktop will not boot

    Hoping someone can help me out here.  I think my motherboard is shot but would appreciate some second opinions.  My HP m9300t desktop will not boot past the initial "HP Invent" blue splash screen.  On this screen, I have the options to enter Setup, Boot Menu, Recovery, or Diagnostics.  Normally, this screen will display for a few seconds then the PC will start to boot into Windows but that's not happening anymore.  Instead, it just hangs on the "HP Invent" screen.  If I attempt to enter Boot Menu, Recovery, or Diagnostics, nothing happens.  If I attempt to enter Setup, it will display a message saying "entering Setup" but the computer just hangs there and never does enter Setup.  I hear my fans spinning, I *think* I hear at least one of the hard drives spin up (I have two in the system), the blu-ray drive activity light blinks as it normally does when I turn the system on, but again, system will not boot past the HP splash screen.  I have tried booting from the Windows cd (no luck) as well as attempted to boot with all peripherals disconnected except keyboard and mouse and again, no luck.  I have noticed that the past two days the system has behaved somewhat erratically, locking up two times requiring a reboot but I just chalked that up to general Windows instability and/or my installing of some new beta software for a HDHomeRun cablecard tuner I just installed.  Looking back though, maybe those were some warning signs that my motherboard was on the brink of dying.  In any case, what I am thinking now is that the motherboard needs to be replaced but before I go out and buy a new one, I wanted to get other people's opinions in case I am overlooking something.  Thanks for any help that you can offer.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.

  • New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

    Hi there,
    I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
    To give you some details:
    - I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
    - The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
    - Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
    - PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
    - when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
    My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Focx,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
    This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • Satellite L745D-S4214 Does not boot; HDD recovery partition not working

    I tried to apply the recent windows 7 updates and my laptop no longer boots.  I tried to press F12 and select the HDD Recovery partition, but it does not boot regardless.  There is a message that it does not communicate to a specific device.  I believe the address called out was 0xc0000e9, but I am going by memory.  I never created a recovery CD because I thought I was covered by the HDD partitions.  This was purchased on 10/26/2012, so it should still be under warranty.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi I'm going to assume that your recovery works like mine and that the recovery partition is still good and not corrupted.
    Shut down your PC. Press F12 and select HDD recovery. Click enter. This should start the recovery from the hidden recovery partition.
    PS I would advise you to make the recovery discs or USB recovery Try this first.
    Perform a power cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with boot problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery).
    Unplug all wires or peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Try starting the computer.
    If your laptop starts normally now, you're done!

  • Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

    Hi
    I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
    When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
    When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    jt

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
    Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
    Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
    You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
    In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    Bye

  • X102e - Hard drive does not boot into Windows

    Hi, I was trying to reinstall Windows on my X120e.
    I tried clean install with Windows 7 Professional, but the hard drive does not boot into the Windows once it has done the first phase of the install(you know, the copying part)
    After the restart done by Windows, it goes as far as "Starting Windows" but does not actually boot into the Windows.
    When I try to install Windows with another HDD, the device works well, but I can't swap the HDD because it is not 7.5mm think HDD.
    Is there any possibility the HDD will work trough any software-level process? The HDD works fine as external HDD when tested with external HDD adapter, and installs well. only problem is that it fails to boot

    Thank you for reply.
    This is not exactly the issue. I was talking about the HDD originally installed in the PC.
    The PC successfully recognizes the external disk I used to install the Windows, but the problem was that I did not boot into the "First boot" screen, which basically works on the already installed data.
    As of now I have installed an SSD and is working fine. strange part is that HDD works just fine when I use it as an external HDD via adapter. Strange huh?

  • Toshiba Satellite P870 upgraded to Win 8.1 does not boot

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P870 with Win 8 preinstalled. Soon after upgrade to Win 8.1 and basically successful removal of “watermark error” (secure boot activated) the machine stopped booting completely: after pressing the power button ventilator sound
    is heard with periodically changing loudness as well as clicking sound from the speakers. The screen stays black. Attempts to start the PC through pressing F2 or zero buttons did not produce any result. Neither did I succeed with recovery discs I created before:
    the system simply does not boot from the disk. It looks like I tried all options offered by Microsoft and Toshiba. I would be happy to roll back to factory settings.
    Could someone give me hint what to do next?

    Hi,
    For the issue, let us know how to remove the “watermark error".
    Meanwhile, I would like to confirm if you could access the BIOS.
    I suggest you update the BIOS version to test it.
    If you want to repair the startup issue, you should use windows 8.1 recovery discs or installation discs.
    Meanwhile, if you cannot access the BIOS, it may be caused by hardware, I suggest you contact the Toshiba manufacturer for further help.

  • Reset Password - System does not boot from DVD

    My System: Macbook Pro - 2Ghz Intel Core Duo - OS X - 10.6.8
    Hi everyone,
    i forgot my password. So i want to boot from install DVD to reset the password. Unfortunately my macbook pro does not boot from DVD (10.6.3).
    I press c all the time...but sometimes the macbook pro throws the DVD out...and sometimes nothing happens.
    The DVD drive is working fine...
    Any other idea?
    Thanks in advance.
    Fabian

    So when you boot holding option it shows a padlock with a password field? Is that correct?
    In that case we're talking about the firmware password, which you can't reset via the install disk. There is only one way to do this, I'm not certain if one is allowed to divulge that information publicly - might want to try googling "reset firmware password"

  • Macbook pro does not boot after upgrading ram

    I have a macbook pro late 2011 which runs with mavericks operating system . I have tried to upgrade my macbook to 8Gb. Macbook does not boot when the two ram slots are filled with 4GB ram but runs well when the slots are filled with 2GB ram. When i try them individually with one slot of 2GB ram and another slot with 4GB they run perfectly which shows status ok in the RAM info. What could be the problem . 

    Around here, most of us recommend only Crucial and OWC for RAM because it's guaranteed to work with Macs and it's what most of us have. If I were you, I would return the RAM and look at purchasing RAM from either Crucial or OWC. If you can't get their RAM to work then you'll know that there's some trouble with your actual slots.
    Good luck,

  • KT6V + sempron 2800 does not boot when BIOS saved

    Hi,
    I have just bought a new sempron 2800 to be use on a KT6V LSR. I plugget in my KT6V but was not recognised well (but all was working ok with windows). To be recognised, I have flashed with the last bios of MSI my motherboard... and now I have the following problem:
    - I clear CMOS, then boot. It comes ok (processor detected and set a 1200Mhz)
    - Then CMOS has a bad checksum: I enter setup, then load default, save.
    - I reboot: the computer does not boot up.
    If I re-clear CMOS I can re-enter setup and modify frequencies or other options. But when I save my modifications, then the computer does not reboot anymore (I have to re-clear cmos again)...
    I tried to apply the configuation I found in this thread:
    http://forums.amd.com/lofiversion/index.php/t69536.html
    It says that SDRAM must be at 333, FSB at 166 and multiplicator at 12. When applying this settings, it does not boot (the leds indicate that the chipset initialisation (the first step) does not pass).
    If I just load biios default, the leds indicates that it fails when checking the memory (second step of boot). I suspect that it's a problem of memory (but my memory was working well before !): it's 2x512 of DDR 400.
    Any suggestion is appreciated :D . I spent several hours trying to configure the bios but it does not boot..
    (I'll also try to find help on AMD forums...)
    (Some extra info: my PSU is 26A for 12V, so it seems that it's not due to the PSU (as I read in the FAQ of this forum).
    Thanks,
