I have a HP Pavillion, Model h8-1010, Product No. QN557AA#ABA, S/N 4CE1270NQ1, windows 7 home editio
Screen freezes up randomly, I called HP and Tech support had me unplug everything, including power cord and hold down start button for 20 seconds to release built up static electricity. It did not work. Computer randomly freezes, can not use any keystrokes, no error messages. I have to reboot computer to get it to come back up. Has happened since it was new, Oct. 12, 2011. Varies from 1hr. to 12 hrs to freeze
Hi,
Shut down the PC. Tap away at f9 as soon as you start up to access the access the Diagnostic Menu - let all the tests complete and post back with any failures.
If all of the above tests pass, try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, click Computer, left click Local Disc C once to highlight it, right click Local Disc C and select Properties. Click the Tools tab and then click the button to 'Check the Drive for Errors'. In the following window make sure both boxes are ticked and then click Start. Part of this process will require a restart to check the drive.
Regards,

I have a one year old HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC // Product number : B9P49UA#ABA
I'm currently experiencing a Hard Disk 1 failure. It will not open windows and I can not get my system recovery options to open either.. I simply get a gray screen and none of the boxes/options for recovery will appear. the Failure ID Code is: 94PNMK-68K77G-MFPX1F-60VQ03 // SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER THIS.. I'VE DONE ALL I KNOW TO DO AND I CAN'T ACCESS MY LAST RECOVERY POINT AND DO NOT HAVE A RECOVERY DISK!!! If I choose "Start Windows Normally".. it appears to start.. says it is starting.. and then just freezes with those words on the screen and never will open windows. Upon powering up I chose "esc" and opened my Advanced System Diagnostics - 4.1.0.0 Out of the Hard Disk, Tuneup, Run-In, Start-Up (all failed and have the same Failure ID) ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY PC!!!
A SMART hard drive error or DST failure typically indicates that the hard drive has failed or is about to fail and will need to replaced. After replacing the hard drive, please use the HP Recovery Media you previously created to return the computer to a factory like state.
If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

HP Pavillion model # p6654y System Recovery
I purchased a HP Pavillion model # p6654y about one year ago. Recently, when my son was using the computer, the system became completely unresponsive. He uses gaming sites, so he may have caught a virus. I don't know. I ordered the recovery disks, followed directions, and the monitor just stays at "starting windows". (I let it go overnight, just to make sure I was giving the disks enough time to work, but there was no change.) Computer never gets to "system recovery" screen, just stays at "starting windows" . Any suggestions? The disks are new, clean and undamaged. Thank you.
Hello NancyStLaurent, You might try using the hard drive for the HP Recovery Resore of your system instead of the HP Recovery Restore disk set.
If can attempt this by pressing the F-11 key when the HP Logo appears. If you manage to enter the HP Recovery Restore Utility, select the destructive procedure and the hard drive will be reformatted and wiped clean of all the software on the hard drive.
After this process completes, the system should reboot and start as it did when you first booted the system.

HP Pavillion Model #: 20-b086in PC moves at snails pace
Model #: 20-b086in Product #: H3W32AA#ACJ Serial #: (Personal information removed) Software Build #: 12AP3AR8603#SACJ#DACJ Service ID #: 20130609 PCBRAND #: HP OS #: SL
I purchased this PC on 7th November 2014 from a dealer in Pune,India. The specs are Intel Pentium Processor CPU- G645, RAM 2GB, HDD- 500GB. OS- Windows 8.1
Quite apart from the challange of learning Windows all over again ( because it is a far cry from a seamless transision from all earlier versions of Windows) , my frustration majorly stems from the fact that this PC is slower even than a snail. I simply couldn't believe my eyes. My previous PC was also a HP Pavillion and even that was slow, despite having a 2GBRAM and a 500GB hard disk).
But the slowness displayed by THIS masterpiece of a PC takes the cake. I can't even shut it down without going through several steps of trials and errors....trying it first this way and then that way....till something works.
ALL programs and apps ( including the MS Office that I purchased along with this PC ) run slow on this PC.
It has nothing to do with the speed of my internet connection, by the way. Even MS Office runs abysmally slow on this PC.
I cleaned up all temp files and wiped all the blank spaces in the hard disk. I removed as many programs and apps as realistically possible from the Start Menu. But to no avail. Even Google Chrome has become extra slow.
Model #: 20-b086in Product #: H3W32AA#ACJ Serial #: [edited Serial Number by Moderator] Software Build #: 12AP3AR8603#SACJ#DACJ Service ID #: 20130609 PCBRAND #: HP OS #: SL
I went back to the dealer who shrugged and told me to get in touch with the HP service centre.
From past experience with my earlier HP PC I know that the servicing in INDIA is outsourced by HP to some small companies, including a company called Reddington who are notorious and infamous for their bad service.
I cannot get the PC checked by an outsider because that would effectively void the warranty...
So what do I do?Hello @JAYANTA13,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, this post has instructions.

Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games.
Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.
Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:

Hello Everyone,
I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards
Mithunyou can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
GPT (GUID)
EFI
Mac HFS
Lion Recovery
Windows
And now you have two HFS
One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.
