Intermittent boot problem with Compaq Presario V6305NR

On pressing start button, laptop starts, but blank screen comes. After every few seconds, it keeps on rebooting, but nothing happens.
I have tried pressing F10 and Esc button on startup, but nothing happens.
Moving finger over multimedia touch buttons causes them to beep.
Few times, it shows the BIOS, but does not detect the hard-drive.
Very rarely, everything works fine and OS boots and works fine (without any sign of problem).
I replaced RAMs, hard-drive and DVD Reader in other laptop and there they worked absolutely fine.
I even tried removing the battery, connecting external monitor, keyboard, but nothing worked.
BIOS version is F.3D.
When opened, CPU fan and heatsink were dustfree.
Product Specs: HP Presario V6305NR, 1.6 GHz AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-50, 1024MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm), NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)

After few days my laptop stopped starting.
It showed no activity, as its motherboard had got fired up.
It was fault on their side (the faulty BIOS fan control algorithm), that let the motherboard to over heat.
I updated the BIOS, but it was too late by then.
Luckily my laptop was still in extended warrenty period (2 years from date of purchase).
I sent it to their service center and they repaired my laptop free of cost.
Its working fine now.

Problem with Compaq Presario V6000 laptop

Hi forum members! I am a newbie to this forum and i would like to introduce myself, my name is Hammy and I am from Glasgow. I have a problem with my laptop whih is a Compaq Presario V6000 running windows Vista, 32 bit product number V6254EA.
A few weeks ago when i turned on the computer it failed to boot up, the only thing visible on the screen is the bar at the bottom of the screen with `Microsoft Corporation` displayed below it.
I have tried starting it up in SAFE MODE but all that happens is that a certain amount of windows system drivers are loaded and then goes no further!
I have purchased recovery discs with no joy! I have also tried a hard reset which has not solved the problem. I tried the `hard drive self test, which after approx 30 seconds carrying out a quick test displayed the following message #1- 07 Fail.
If it is the hard drive or the motherboard that has failed is it possible to replace them.
Thanks

Did you burn the recovery disks? Will follow up with the manual and a link to buy the hdd.

Sound Problem with Compaq Presario

Hi,
I am using a Compaq Presario SR 1630IL desktop, Prod # EG224AA#ACJ, S/N INI54709VG. In my system Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.4 are installed with Ubuntu as the default OS. The PC is using Realtek ALC 880 sound card. The linux sound module is snd-hda-intel.
My problem is with the sound in linux. In windows the sound is very fine but in Ubuntu it is very less although my external amplifier is in full volume and the internal audio mixer too. I am using ALSA latest version for ubuntu.
I have tried all the howto's available in the webbut couldn't improve the situation. Is there any problem with ALC880 chipset in lunux.
Eagerly waiting for the assistanse from HP
Thanks

Wireless and batter problems with Compaq Presario CQ45-315TX Notebook PC

Was using my Compaq a year or so when it suddenly stopped detecting the battery. Short time after it stopped detecting the wireless module (listed as error 702 during startup).
I've already made sure all of my drivers are up-to-date, automaticaly and manually. I read in other forums that a BIOS update would fix both of these problems. I downloaded the reccomended update to go from BIOS Version F.66 to F.66A. I'm not sure if it actually worked as the update was to the same versio and ID as the existing BIOS.
Is there another update for BIOS F.66 as the ones I've tried don't seem tio change its version after they run, or is there another solution to this problem?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the Conexant HD Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45166.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the Conexant device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the Conexant installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

Problem with Compaq Presario CQ60 Laptop

Periodically laptop will not turn on. I had a message "critically low battery". Tried plugging in and no response. couple of days later, computer responded and did turn on. This situation causes great distress as I fear work will be lost forever. do i need new battery? Please advise. Helene

Hi,
Let me summarize, your laptop won't start from time to time and you had (have?) a "critically low battery" message.
When your laptop doesn't start, plugging in does not help.
When you face the problem, try to remove the battery from your laptop, plug it in and try to boot without the battery.
Batteries are well known to cause that kind of issue and if your computer does start without the battery then you may need to replace it with a new one.
But before you purchase a new battery, have a look there :

This tool will certainly help you.
Regarding your files, even though at that point there seems to be little to fear, you should always back them up as they are more valuable to you than any piece of hardware!
With an up to date backup, anything can happen to your computer, you're safe otherwise there is always a tiny chance they can't be recovered (it's impossible, as an example, to recover files from a stolen laptop...)

Problems with Compaq Presario CQ61

I have a Presario CQ61 and recently updated the iTunes software installed. Everything worked fine until I went to shut down the computer. While waiting for the windows menu to load it crashed, since then it hasn't worked (some 5 days).
When I turn it on it asks if I want to restart in normal windows mode of safe mode (recommended).
I have tried both options. They both seem to work, the green bar moves but then I am faced with an indeffinate blank screen.
I have tried removing the battery, making sure there is a full charge and that everything is connected properly. The power button is lit up white and the WIFI button is blue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue booting the notebook up. You could be having an issue with Hard Drive in the notebook, Sometimes when the Hard Drive is bad it prevents the notebook from booting windows.
Try and test the Hard Drive in the BIOS. Follow this document and it should guide you through testing the Hard Drive and the memory.
Please let me know the outcome. If you have any more questions let me know.

Problem With Compaq presario V3500

Currenty i have used Compaq V3500 since september 2008 ( before i bought CQ40-308TU, since i feel satisfied with HP-Compaq product). but a few days ago, my notebook suddenly crash, after (unfortunally) my guarantee has expired. After i can solve the crash, and can enter into system, my ram only detected 1GB( i have been upgraded into 2GB). i tried to check and test whetever sodimm is dead. but after i check, the reslt for my sodimm is alive. i found later, the problem is on the socket for sodimm, one socket is dead. since my guarantee is expired, i tried to service at general notebook service centre. but they also give up for this matter. they suggestion is to change the mainboard with new ones, and this will be costly enough. could anyone suggest the other option to fix this problem without replace the mainboard with the new one??or this was already general problem for V3500 user from the start?( maybe v3500 is a failure product from HP-compaq?)
This question was solved.

With a dead memory slot your only option is a new motherboard. Yes, the whole V3000 line is a cousin to the Pavilion dv6000 line, which has not been a sterling performer to say the least.

Problem with Compaq Presario F700, F767NR

I am having trouble with my laptop,
-The bottom gets hot fast
-Shuts off unexpectedly (it is almost like the battery dies but it is within 30 minutes or less of the computer being fully charged)
- When the computer is started up the screen that has the horizontal scroll bar, it will stay on the screen not leaving it until the computer is restarted manually with the button and the computer is restored. ( I believe there is a correlation with the installation of updates and programs makes this more likely to happen)
-When the computer is on and the lid is closed, when it is opened again it takes and unusual amount of time upwards of 5 min to get a picture to show up.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give.

try cleaning the fan. I had to open mines up and clean the fan real good and also put new thermal paste on the cpu also

Since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

since upgrading to ios7 I have intermittent wifi problems with ipad2

You need a larger internal drive and you definitely need to uninstall any Avast product, using the instructions at the developer's website. A 120GB SSD with only 9.6GB free just isn't going to cut it - you need at least 9GB in free space just to run Mavericks and many people suggest that 10-15% of your disk (particularly on a SSD) should be free space.
Good luck,

Poll: Do you have cold boot problem with SB X-FI Fatal1t

Hi guys:
I have post a thread regarding the cold boot problem with SB X-FI Fatalty and OCZ GameXStream 600W SLI power supply combination. Apparently, no one has answer to that . In addition, I have recently RMA'd my psu and received a brand-new unit. The same problem still exists. If the problem is really with the power supply, doesn't matter what kind of the setup I have, I should still have the cold-boot problem. However, it doesn't seem like that. Doesn't matter what kind of cards I put on the motherboard, as long as the SB X-FI Fatalty card is there, there is cold boot problem (even with the setup of cpu, mother, ram, and the sound card only, WITHOUT video card and harddri've). And for other different setup without the SB X-FI Fatalty card, there is no cold boot. The cpu and memory are running at stock speed.
My post regarding the cold boot issue:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=79753
There is one user on the forum saying he has the same problem. Therefore, I think it might be the imcompatibility between the X-FI Fatalty and OCZ GameXStream PSU.
I would like to know how many people that has the same problem that I am having. So I can possibly narrow down the problem and contact OCZ tech support or creative tech support with more information. It would also be benefitical to those who have the same problem as I do.
Please post your system setup as well in the thread.
Greatly appreciate your opinions. Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200604:58 AM
Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200603:22 PM

I would venture to say that it isn't your powersupply, but more likely the X-Fi. I had troubles with my system, until I pulled out my X-Fi and replaced it with a non Creative Labs sound card. One of my troubles, which I incorrectly blamed on my powersupply was the ASUS A8R-MVP motherboard I had and the X-Fi XtremeMusic card, was after gaming for 4 hours, was the?sudden reboot of my system. Powersupply before, was an Antec TrueControl 2 550watt PSU. As it stands right now, I no longer have the parts mentioned and have a decent 700watt powersupply in my system, along with an ABIT AT8 32X motherboard. As you have probably seen there are a lot of problems with the X-Fi soundcards, and I in my right mind can't blame the motherboard, powersupply, motherboard chipset, ram, or any other component in ones system, if one is having trouble other than the X-Fi itself. I'll be honest, there is something quite frankly wrong with the X-Fi, and exactly what that is, I'll probably never know like most people.

K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
K8N NEO4 Platinum
165 opty dual core
2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
160GB sata2
7800GTX
X-Fi platinum
600 watt seasonic PSU

Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here.

MSI P45 Neo-f with intermittent boot problems

PSU: Real Silent Nexus NX-5000 500 watt
*Soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy
OS: Windows XP home, service pack 2
*Lite-on IT dvd-rom drive
*floppy disk drive
I also have 3 case fans spinning away in a marginally large Chieftec Dragon tower.
The parts I marked with an asterisk (*) are parts that I removed from my old rig and re-used.
I'll try to give a clear rundown of my problem and the steps I've taken so far.
3 days ago I acquired the P45 Neo and installed it into my system, together with the 8800GT videocard. I was still using my old PSU, a Chieftec 360watt. This PSU served me well for 7 years, but it was starting to build up noise while trying to keep up games on my old rig.
I had some trouble getting the system to boot, I tried changing some of the 4 pins wires going to the hard drive and the dvd drive. I don't know if it was luck or if I managed to divide the load properly for the system to boot. But I succeeded into booting up, got into the bios and eventually installed WinXP.
As soon as it was time to install the videocard drivers, it stopped responding. I assumed it was a power issue, since I could only install the 20pin and 4pin cpu, but my Chieftec PSU didn't have a 24pin plug to the mobo - and it needed replacing anyway! So I bought a new 500watt PSU that had all the required plugs and more wattage.
I installed the new PSU, checked every connection and pressed the power button. 'Lo and behold, the computer starts up. I install the videocard drivers and it proceeds with no problems. I try to install the soundcard, but the cd says I don't have one installed. I fix that by going to the System list and install the drivers from there. I install a firewall. By then I have successfully rebooted the computer 3 or 4 times. I decide all is well and turn off the computer. But I realize I wanted to check up something on the internet.
I press the powerbutton. The PC power light go up for just a fraction of a second. I can see the blue LED of one of the case fans switching on just as briefly - then it goes out. The computer keeps trying to turn itself on. It looks like it's hickupping to try and boot!
I turn off the PSU power on the back-side because the computer keeps trying and wait for a bit. After 10 minutes, it still doesn't work. I leave the computer for a bit and return an hour later. The computer then starts up with no problems. I turn it off after a few hours, do a reset, start it up, no problems. But then the next day it happens again.
It's pretty tough figuring out what the problem is because it looks..almost random. I considered it could be a heat issue, but sometimes it *does* start up just after it's been turned down. Checking the bios shows no strange temperature shifts.
Hope anyone can help me, because I do not want to go back to my old Asrock mobo

While powered down I cleared the cmos data, removed the Dane Elec DDR2 module and set the bios to optimized defaults. Computer restarted to WinXP with no problems (it has been off the whole night). I shut down WinXP, wait a few moments and then turn the computer back on. Alas, it won't start and starts hick-upping. I turn power off at the PSU again, so it stops.
Now I try switching out the Kingston module instead. By now the computer has been off for 10 min (while I write this entry on laptop). I press the power button on the PSU and then the power button on the front. There is a short pause, lasting a second. The computer turns on, longer now, but it only lasts 2 whole seconds before it turns off again and goes on again (I believe now you can call it powercycling). It repeats this process until I shut off the PSU.
I check to see if I have installed it properly and try again but it starts powercycling again.
15 min pass, I put the Kingston module back in, press the power button and voila, this time it does start. WinXP shows up, no problems. I leave it on for a bit and then shut down. And when I press the power button again - the feeling of dread returns, when it starts hickupping again.
I'm going to see if I can install one of the memory modules from my housemate. Then hopefully tommorrow, I'm going to try if I can test a different PSU, since I see someone else on the forum - who recently posted, has the exact same power supply and also has boot problems, coincidence... or not ^^;.

No bootable disk problem on Compaq Presario CQ42

Hi,
I recently ran into a problem with my Compaq Presario CQ42-117TX laptop. I had a few regular updates installed and when I tried to restart the laptop to complete the update, it booted for a longer period then usual before flashing a blue screen for a second then blacking out.
When I restarted it again, it said there was no hard drive detected. I ran a BIOS system check and it couldn't run a quick test on the hard disk. When I try to turn it on normally, it goes to a black screen with a few details on the hardware inside and the last line reading 'No bootable disk -- insert boot disk and press any key'.
Any form of help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Touch pad problems on Compaq Presario C56

Hi,
1st time poster here, so I hope I'm in the correct forum for this.
I recently purchased a Compaq Presario C56 with Windows 7, and already the mousepad/touchpad is developing problems in that it is quite slow and sometimes fails to respond to any touch from the finger tips. It is noticeably worse when the using the laptop when the battery is charging.
I have installed the latest drivers for the touchpad, and in terms of other software that I have installed, I have AVG free running and a few other applications installed such as Blackberry Desktop software, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office.
Is there any know issues similar to this with the touchpad?
Thanks
