i have a HP Pavilion g6z-2200 upgraded to 8.1 got a blank screen, revert back to 8, now i can't get any of my apps back because they want me to upgrade to 8.1 how do i know if it's safe?

Hello @061210 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would try updating to Windows 8.1 again. Make sure all of your Windows updates on 8 or done before the 8.1 update. Then, as soon as you do the update, look for any new Windows updates and install those.
Worst-case scenario, you have to revert to Windows 8 again, but I doubt that will happen

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

    I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

    Quit mail like this.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

  • I have a mac 10.4 and won't start up, just a blank screen with the restricted icon appears

    Last night I forced shut down on the computer because the colro wheel wouldn't let me do anything.
    In the morning i turned it on normally from the  power button and it never started up.
    Just a blank screen, forever...
    I tried the safe mode and nothing happened.
    Also tried holding the shift key after boot up and the apple appeared, then the RESTRICTED ICON.
    I tried holding the option key and nothing either.
    Tries command, option +P+R and I got the same restricted icon!!!
    I can't remember when it appeared the march kernel erro in a black screen and then nothing...
    I don't have the installation cd.
    What can I do now?
    Whatever I do I get the restricted icon.
    I am at my witts end...
    I know is an old mac, but can't afford a new one..and I have al of my work info and files there!
    (most was backed up though!...phew...)
    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP..

    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • HP Pavilion DV3 ( Scroll & Caps Lock LED's blinking four times + Blank Screen )

    Hi,
    I have an HP Pavilion DV3-2157cl
    When I press the power button, the screen remains blank. Also, the scroll & the Caps Lock buttons keep blinking four times.
    Sometimes, the laptop works like nothing's wrong but Most of the time, it remains blank with the blinking lights!
    Can anyone help me?

    i had a problem with my dv3 (blank screen keeps flashing) and used this method to reflow the graphics card/chip (see link below).  only try this method if you are at your wits end... and you are skilled with taking apart/putting together electronics.  it will take you a minimum of 1 hour (but most likely, about 2).  you will need a heat gun (about $10 - $20).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SziIr34Md0g
    to prevent it from continually over heating, you can try the penny mod (google it).  that's what i did.  you basically take a penny and sand off both sides until it is the right thickness and solder it onto the heatsink.  you'll need to remove the sticky blue foam that HP used instead.
    i also noticed that a laptop cooler placed under your laptop works well for keeping it cool.  it can be fixed again and again using the method above but it is time consuming.  to prevent getting a cold connection which leads to this problem, don't move the laptop.  yes, it sucks that you can't move it but that's the only option you have.

    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

    Looks like you can go to the Athlon 64 4000.
    You cannot upgrade the graphics in your notebook.

  • I have a HP Pavilion a6603w. I want to upgrade power supply to run powerful graphic card. Suggest

    I have a HP pavilion a6603w desktop model number FK555AA-ABA a6603w.  I have a low to mid level graphics card, which is the most that my power supply will handle. 
    I want to get a stronger power supply to run a high end graphics card with a self cooling fan.  Can anyone suggest an excellent, reliable power supply brand and model that will fit into my desktop case with minimum fuss?  I am not tech savy but I have replaced my video card and hard drives with no problem. 
    Thanks,

    Hello lugnut1204, I checked the specifications for your system and is appears the system shipped with a 250 power supply. The dimensions for this power supply are 5 15/16 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3 3/8 inches tall. Since your system is a MicroATX version, you would be slightly limited to a power supply of the same size as the original power supply.
    Here  is a link to Newegg where a Corsair 600 watt power supply can be found with almost the exact same physical size as you original 250 watt version. The Corsair power supply dimensions are 5.9 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3.4 inches tall.
    If you get a power supply too long, it may interfer with the back of the CD\DVD drives.
    You would need to locate a video card that you wanted and make sure the power supply requirements were less than the 600 watt Corsair model. Most of the mid to higher end cards require at leaset a 400 to 500 watt or greater power supply.

  • Hp Pavilion 1170uk graphics upgrade

    I have a HP Pavilion 1170uk and have tried upgrading graphics card to a Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX770 4GB.
    When I start the computer it stops at hp boot screen and says press esc to enter startup menu and beeps about every 10-15 seconds.
    I have put in a new 700w psu to run the card and when I put the original graphics card that came with the computer it starts up fine with this psu.
    This sounds like a bios problem and I have the latest bios from the hp website installed on machine.
    Is there a new bios coming out or can I get one from anywhere to run this graphics card or do I have to upgrade the motherboard aswell ?

    I also have an HP h8-1170Uk and have just fitted a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 780 Ti WINDFORCE 3X OC 3GB GDDR5 and as with you it won't boot. Just says press ESC and beeps at me. What a waste of money! I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the motherboard?
    Have you done anything to resolve the issue?

  • I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen.

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen. It’s mostly unresponsive; will not access BIOs w/ f1 key; will not Recover w/ f11. It will respond at start-up to ESC, displaying “Loading Boot Menu…”, and w/ f10 “Entering Setup”, but never proceeds past message.I have never upgraded the BIOS I have disconnected and peripherals, net connection and replaced the CMOS battery. I have also followed a suggestion to disconnect the mouse and keyboard on start- up to see if they are the issues. Nothing is working.

    Hi,
    If you can enter setup, then go into the bios and see if the hard drive and the CD/DVD are recognized.   If you can't get past the entering setup message then try the below procedures.
    Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any.  You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink.  Plug your PC back in and give it a go.
    Try this procedure and see if you can isolate the issue. Trouble Shooting Power Supply Issues. Don’t skip any steps.

  • Hp Pavilion dv6765ev RAM upgrade

    Hi all,
    I have an Hp Pavilion dv6765ev notebook, which I own since April 2008. It came with a total of 2GB RAM (2x1GB). Since it is already 6 years old, I am making some changes (for example, I ordered an SSD to replace the original HDD disc), and I was thinking of upgrading RAM.
    I would like to be sure what RAM to buy. If I am not mistaken, I can upgrade up to 4GB, it's DDR2 (2x2GB)? For example, is the following kit ok?
    MUSHKIN 996559 4GB (2X2GB) SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT
    Do you have a specific brand to propose? What should I pay attention to?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    This is the manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295877.pdf
    Specs: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?javax.portlet.begCache...
    The RAM config you chose is correct for your system.
    The brand details I don't know, but it had good rating in newegg-
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146697
    You can put the 2 memory sticks replacing the two pervious ones.
    For related info:
    The part numbers listed in manual for replacement if ordering via HP post store are:
    http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=453774-001
    http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=457437-001
    They are replaced by this new part -

    So, 800MHz is backward compatible with 667MHz too.
    This CRUCIAL RAM is a good one too:

  • Pavilion g7 RAM upgrade

    I would really like to play computer games on my laptop but they all lag really bad. I was wondering if upgrading the RAM for the system would help or if that's even possible. I have a 4 gB RAM right now but I would like to upgrade to  6 or 8. I think the product number is QE304UA#ABA but that could be wrong. Does anyone know what I can do?
    P.S. if I have the wrong product number and it's blatantly obvious, just let me know and I'll try to find the real one.

  • Pavilion dv6 WLAN upgrade

    Hello, I have a dv6 product number A1U57AV.  BIOS F.19  Win7 64
    After many chats with support, I wanted to put my findings out, and ask if anyone has found any solutions to this issue.  I was trying to upgrade my Intel Centrino Wireless N 1030 WLAN card with the Intel 6230 Advanced N card.  It states in the manual that my motherboard and chipset should support this card.  I ordered the 6230 from Amazon.com, and it didn't work.  I figured I had a non-genuine part, and returned it.  I was rooked into ordering the same card for nearly 4x the price from HP Parts.  I did so, and found that the same WLAN hardware configuration error 702 came up before the win7 boot page even came up.
    I found through investigation that the part numbers of the hardware are on a whitelist in the BIOS, and if the configuration fits the restrictions, the hardware will work.  Unfortunately, I found that there was a mistake in the recording of the part numbers for the WLAN hardware. The 6230 is listed instead with a duplicate 1030 part number.  The correct part numbers are as follows:
    Intel Centrino Wireless N 1030 WLAN module 631956-001
    Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN module 636672-001
    The 1030 card is not cutting it for me, and is ruining what is otherwise, an outstanding laptop.  It's like having training wheels on a Cadillac.  All that would be needed is to insert the correct part number into the BIOS program code, and I am off to the races!
    Can anyone help me?  Anyone have anything better to tell me than support did?  How do I get this problem to the engineering/programmer level of support?  So many questions.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Please do not post same question many times. Thanks you. Try another one:
