HP Pavillion P6115y Windows Vista 64-bit Will not power up.

The PC was running OK when shut down, when starting the next day it starts and stops continually. Power light comes on, hear hard drive start then power light goes off the comes back on. This continues until power cord is removed.

Hello PJ2497,
Many things can cause the computer to shut down after a few seconds. If you are not even getting into Windows then we know that your OS is not the issue, however it leads me to believe it may be a hardware issue.
The first thing you should do is open up your computer and clean everything. Ensure there is no dust and all fans work. If the computer is not getting adequate airflow the system may shut down after a few seconds to protect itself from damaging itself.
The next thing to do is try to isolate and identify the component that is failing it could be
1. The CMOS battery
2. Faulty RAM
3. Faulty PCI video card
4. Faulty Power supply
5. Faulty Processor
6. Faulty Motherboard
Let's first clean the system and check to ensure all fans are working to see if the issue corrects itself. After that we can start trying to rule out hardware components to see if we can identify which has failed and is causing the issue.

  • HP Pavillion dv9810us, Windows Vista 32 bit, Will not start.

    AC connection is good. When I push the start button lights flash but nothing happens, computer will not start. Quick play and DVD cause the same effect.

    At this point I would go ahead and contact HP Support. If your inside the United States you can contact technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    Hi Tamekia,
    I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
    Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service
    Note: The title of this document is not specific to the issue you are experiencing or the operating system you have, but the 3 steps and instructions are what I suggest we do to resolve the issue you are experiencing.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 7 64 bit will not recognise network adapter!

    Windows 7 64 bit will not recognise network adapter!

    You have an older Mac that has 32-bit EFI
    you need to use Windows 7 32-bit or modify the DVD.
    Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
    Stuck at Select CD-Rom Boot
    Hint: Windows 7 SP1 update will need 8GB free space. Windows takes at least 16-20GB. Add in page file, hibernation (each size of physical RAM). Plus any programs and data you store. Cache and temp files (1-4GB) and you get the idea. you will find you can't even login to the sytem. Seen it happen.

    REMOVE the partition using BCA and create 40GB, being sure to leave 20GB free for Mac OS X volume also.

  • Windows Vista Boot camp will not show video card

    Hello
    Im running a macbook pro in windows vista 32 bit boot camp mode. Every thing works fine except that the device manager only shows the VGA adapter and not the Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT I have equiped. I cant find any drivers for this card. Is there any way to get Vista to use it properly?

    Hi,
    The factory reset is necessary I guess. Is there still the recovery partition (D: drive)?? If yes, press esc(ape) at startup and then F11 and follow the instructions to perform "Factory Reset". Before you do this make a list of hardware such as graphics card, wireless card, ethernet card etc. from the Device Manager to know what drivers you need from the HP website in case that the factory reset goes wrong. You could also follow this to install a fresh system which I would prefer.

    I would not recommend to upgrade the system to Windows 7 and Windows 8 is completely out of question. The lappy is too old for W8 and I don't think it will perform well even on W7 if you manage to install all drivers.

  • WiFi Sync for Windows 7 64 bit will not sync

    I have had this issue for the past several months my iTunes WiFi Sync will not recognize my iPhone on my WiFi network. So, I got to plug in the phone to sync and update apps alot. I very rarely can get the phone to sync with itunes to update apps and sync photos and what not. It has been happening ever since iOS 5.1.1 was released and iTunes 10.6.3 was released ever since then and now it doesn't want to recognize my phone on my wifi network, so i can not sync it without a cord. Prior to the 5.1.1 and 10.6.3 releases the phone and itunes had no issues everything would work just fine for that short period of time when 10.6.1 and 5.0.1 was around. I am trying to see if anybody out there has had the same issue or relatively close to it and maybe give me some suggestions to what I can do now to repair the issue and get itto sync wirelessly again without issue. Thanks so much in advance for any and all suggestions and help.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A, Vista 32-bit, will not connect via usb to my PC!!!

    I used to have this all in one connected to my pc, until I was experiencing a few printing issues, so I decided to uninstall it!  When I tried to reinstall it, the pc will not connect it.  I have tried different ports and have replaced the cable, also downloaded the latest software and drivers all to  no avail.  I can connect wirelessly to my laptop, but unfortunately this isn't a solution for my desktop as it's not wireless, therefore it has to be connected via usb.  At my wits end, please help me!!!!!
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can you try inserting a flash drive into one of the USB ports in the printer, to make sure it reads it?
    The port on the printer might be what's giving you the issue. Also, can you try connecting the printer USB to a different PC?
    Let me know the outcome.
