Pavilion dv6-6c43cl pc. Text scroling across screen on startup stating many changes to regestry

I have had this laptop for over a year and have never seen text rapidly scroling across the screen as it did today on initial startup and before windows 7 startup. It was indicating thousands of changes to a registry. Is this a bug or some attempt to control the computer or steal information? What is this? What should I do, if anything to be surre my computer is secure? My computer seems to run ok.
No new hardware or software has been added or installed.

I have seen this after a big update from Microsoft via Windows Updates.

I lost sound on my laptop, hp Pavilion dv6-6c43cl Entertainment PC.

All settings on my laptop show the sound up all the way. I am able to hear the female voice for the instructions but nothing else. I also tried a dvd and again, no sound. I used to have sound when the computer booted up but that does not happen anymore.

Go to your support page and Download & Save latest IDT Audio driver. Next go into Control Panel,Programs & Features and Uninstall IDT software. Restart the laptop and after Windows loads fully install using the downloaded file.

Pavilion dv6 went dark

I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop running MS7pro. The screen recently went black. I am running it using an attached monitor. The backlight is working. I suspect it needs to be re-plugged ie unplugged and then plugged back in. Any suggestions?

Hi @BruceWK
Welcome to the HP Support Community! I see that you are having a problem with your display screen. This could be a hardware problem with the display screen itself if you are able to see it on an external monitor. If you want to check the cables I can help with that by providing a guide but I will need your product number for that.

Audio stop working in a Pavilion dv6 with vista enterprise 64

Hi guys,
I´m having a very strange problem with my girlfriend´s laptop. One month ago, we bought a HP pavilion dv6-1117es with Windows Vista Home 32 bits installed. I changed the S.O. to a new Vista Enterprise 64 bits. Everything works perfectly. Last week while she was working with MS Word, the sound system stops working. Nothing changes and the laptop didn´t show any errors. I made all the tests I could imagined without success. Frustrated I decided to reinstall the S.O. but there is no sound.
Steps done:
Review and reinstall drivers from HP. I also have uninstall all the items in the audio system and the laptop rediscover the hardware without errors.
I have tried any option both in the windows vista audio mixer and in the IDT application selecting any audio source possible.
I have updated the laptop bios into the latest version.
I have tried with several external speakers and I have the same result.
Also updated MS UAA.
Also restarted audio services
Symptoms:
The problem is that everything looks ok. The mixer shows the green bar up and down when I play any mp3 song. It seems to work in all the devices including external speakers, double speakers, SPIF line out and HDMI out. There is no red crosses or yellow warnings anywhere.
Please help me.
Thanks-

HI Jaimese, yes I tried XP service pack 2 does not help.
I did a system reinstallation apparently that worked for all of 10 minutes,
then back to teh same thign. It must be a software issue.
Theonly time when it sort of worked was when the HP guy told me to uninstall the IDT drivers, then windows vista reinstalled it again.
I did a total clean install , meaning I wped the HDD clean through system restore that did nothing.
I don't know what to do. Well......... actually I do . If nobody takes responsability
A) return HP comptuer to retailer.
B) Take a trip to local Apple store. (yes they are expensive but at this point I should not have to do a clean install one week into ownership).

Built in microphone problem with my pavilion dv6 3017 tu

i am using pavilion dv6 3017tu noteboook. Few month ago days ago i have changed my laptop motherboard due damage. And now i am seeing that my inbuilt microphone phone is not working. I ahve checked everything. Suggest me. Thanks

First, I would like to clarify the scenario some. You state "few month ago days ago" and the motherboard was changed. Was the motherboard changed a few months ago and the microphone stopped working a few days ago or do you mean that the motherboard was changed just a few days ago and the microphone hasn't worked since then?
According to this, the unit came with FreeDOS as the operating system. Is it still using FreeDOS or was it changed to a version of Windows? If so, what is the current version of Windows installed?

Pavilion dv6-3130tx Blue Screen (BSOD) on adding RAM to second slot

Hi there,
I own a HP Pavilion dv6-3130tx with total of 3gb of RAM, one 1GB chip and one 2 GB chip. Recently I have been getting a lot of system crashes/freezes and occasional Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a variety of error messages. On contacting HP care in India they said to check the RAM chips and the slot for any problem. I have identified that the second slot is one creating the problem as the system crashes if use any one of the chips on that slot while both the RAMs work fine on the other slot.
Additionaly the RAM port/slot cannot be replaced as such, and since it is out of warranty getting the motherboard replaced isn't an alternative either.
So does anyone have any idea what might be the best way out of this problem?

Did the 3GB of RAM come with the computer or did you upgrade it at some point?
What version of Windows are you using?

HP Pavilion DV6; Black Screen & Atikmpag.sys BSOD with external Monitor

Hello Guys.
I have HP Pavilion DV6 Core i7 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Graphics Card. Two weeks ago, I started getting continous Atikmpag,sys BSODs. The operating system also started giving me warnings about the hardrive. After a few days, the BSODs got more frequent. Then one day, I was doing normal stuff on my PC and the Display Driver crashed. Instead of recovering, the PC froze. I forced restart my PC but it got worse. The display of my laptop went black. I connected the laptop to external monitor which detected the display. When I tried to load the windows, it started giving me the Atikmpag.sys BSOD on the start up. Now the operating system works fine in the Safe Mode but with nothing on the laptop's screen. The soultions I have tried so far are.
-Reinstalled the windows thrice
-Removed the drivers and installed the updated ones a bunch of times.
-Rolled back the bios to an earlier version
-Removed the hardrive and tried to load it from an operating system installed on external flash drive
-Tried loading the PC with linux on external flash drive
-Opened the laptop and cleaned it thoroughly
-Removed all the components and plugged them one by one.
-Removed the old Atikmpag.sys in system32 folder and expanded it with the latest ones.
-Installed every thing fresh from HP website
None of these tricks have given me any luck yet. The only way, I could use the operating system in normal mode, is to delete the atikmpag.sys file in safe mode and then log on back in normal mode. I also analysed the minidump file through window debugger and it says that atikmpag.sys is causing this crash with the TDR message. I did all these with an external monitor as the display of the laptop is black since that day.
Below are the detailed specs of my laptop.
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 (64 bit) Home Premium
Version: 6.1.7601
System Model: HP Pavilion Dv6 Notebook PC
Processor: Intel Core i7 Q 721 @ 1.60 GHz
Bios Version/Date: Hewlett- Packard F.29, 11/7/2011
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 6GB
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB
I have tried almost every solution available on these forums but still have not gotten any where. I am wondering how could the display, graphics card and hard drive stop working at the same time .
I would really appreciate if someone colud help me through this problem.
Thank you
P.S. Kindly ignore my English mistakes as it is not my first language.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1260se with factory installed operating system of Vista. When booting up the computer, I receive a blue screen with this error message: STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}.

I do not have recovery disks for this computer. I tried to order them but them seem to not be available. This is my daughter's computer. She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it. We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here. That may be the best option.
You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well. Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible. This should allow you to recover the PC.

Blue tinted screen, menory problems, underperforming battery - 5 day old HP pavilion dv6-6005sa

I bought a new HP Pavilion dv6-6005sa 15.6" Laptop - Linen White on 14/06/11 from Currys digital, Arndale Centre, Manchester. The laptop is less than 1 week old.
The screen is a frost blue colour from the second I turn it on to the second it is turned off. Weirdly I can see the entire screen, just that everything is blue!! Does anybody know how this can happen??? When I move the screen it flickers from normal to this blue thing. A loose connection maybe?
I am unhappy as I got to send it back to the shop for a under 21 days replacement involving an expensive airmail delivery :@ The alternative would be a 3 week investigation in the lab which I cant be bothered with!
Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon with a HP laptop screen? I also am beginning to experience memory problems and the usb prots are on the blink. I have looked after it very well, it has just been sat on a desk for 5 days! Can anybody explain me this phenomenon and if it is a comon problem with HP laptops?
Now for the next problem as if a faulty screen and memory cache wouldnt be enough! The battery:
The battery specs are as follows:
Lithium-Ion 6-cell battery
'upto 7.5 hours battery life'
The battery is advertised to perform 'upto 7.5 hours' however I get maximum 4.5 hours doing absolutely nothing on power saver mode with the laptop with it just sitting there idle on a desk. At the same time I also had wireless and bluetooth off; screen brightness set to 0%, maximum processing chip power reduced to 20%; battery saver mode active; all major applications closed).
I get maximum 2-3 hours doing basic tasks with it such as word processing. Gaming I get maximum 1.5 hours.
The battery checker displays the following:
Status: Ok (0)
warrenty type: 1 year
cycle count 0
manufacturer: 13-42
battery age 136 days
serial number: 12587 02/01/2011

Cell Voltage 2: 4177 mV
Cell Voltage 3: 4177 mV
Cell Voltage 4: 0 mV
Status: 0
AC Power: True
CT Number: N\A
I have highlighted in bold the things I thing are suspicious. I feel the results are those of a malfunctioning battery. Could anybody tell me if I am correct withmy assumptions?
As I am no expert coes anybody reading this think these results are normal for a new battery and can you provide me some insight to wether my battery might be faulty or not?
Basically I think at least one of the 6 cells inside the battery are malfunctioning.

Go to Power Options in the Control panel and select the Power Saver option. Do not choose balanced. Then run your battery capacity tests again. Hopefully the new setting will improve the time that you get.

Pavilion dv6-3227cl entertainment notebook powers on but only has a black screen

An HP Pavilion DV6-3227cl Entertainment Notebook, that is approximately 2 years old and is running Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD Vision Premium, will power on but not boot up. The fan runs and the "caps lock" light flashes once approximately every 4 seconds but all I get is a black screen with no cursor or error messages. There are no beeps. The power supply indicator illuminates (white) for about a second, then turns to a dim orange when the battery is installed, but remains white when the battery is removed. However, the two indicator lights (I'm not sure what they are for) next to the USB port nearest the power indicator light illuminate as follows: the one on the left (as you are looking at the right side of the notebook) is white; the one on the right is orange. Both are fully illuminated (not dimly as the power indicator light). The power indicator light is not as bright as the other white indicator near the USB port. The notebook has booted up and appeared to be running one time since having this problem started, but I have not been able to get it to boot up again. I am told the battery is bad (it's my brother in law's notebook), but is it possible the problem is with the power source rather than the processor or motherboard? I appreciate your comments/advice on this matter. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi fejevitzky,
Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.

My laptop ( hp pavilion dv6-6b27nr entertainment PC) willl not start up. the screen is blank.

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6b27nr Entertainment PC (Win 7) It would start up with the message "BIOS RECOVERY" . It then would not start up at all. I took it to a repair shop, they contacted HP and got it working. i took it home and it worked just fine the same day, however when I tried to use it the next day the screen is just blank. i tried the take out the battery process with no effect. i then tried tapping the f11 key at start up. the fan came on and it made some noise, but has failed to show anything on the screen. When I turn it on the caps lock key blinks continually in a sequence of two blinks. (When i brought it home from the repair shop I downloaded malwarebytes and quarantined 87 pups etc. )

HI @owe ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you received a bios error and the notebook would not start. You took it to a repair shop, who contacted HP and got it back up and running. When you took it home it ran fine. You downloaded malwarebytes, installed and ran it, and quarantined 87 pups etc. When you tried to use it the next day you get a blank screen and the lights blink twice.
Here is a link to Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps . Two blinks again refers to the bios.
You should not be having a bios problem so soon after just having it repaired.
There may be a hardware issue that is causing this and I would test the hardware rule that possibility out. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
If you are still unable to determine any problems, you would have some options.
You can try to restore the bios yourself. Restoring the BIOS
As you just got it back from the repair shop, you could take it back to them to see what they say.
As you stated that the repair shop called HP, you may be able to acquire a reference or case number to refer to and call them yourself. Just to clarify you do not need the case number to contact HP support but it would allow them to more easily locate any case notes from the previous call.

HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej On-Screen Display not working

Hi, I have an HP pavilion dv6-6c01ej and I want to use the on-screen display, to see for example when the volume when I turn it up or down (also for brightness change and so..).
I looked in the Programs and Features in Control Panel and saw I have the last version of the driver (version 1.3.5).
I couldn't find the actual prgoram in the Start menu (I don't even know if it exists).
I wanted to download it again so I can try uninstall and install, but the file could not be found, using this link:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55152.exe
From here:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-dv6-6c00-entertainment-notebook-pc-serie...
I don't know if it's the same driver for all the pavilion dv6 pc's.
Also, I tried downloding the HP MediaSmart for that, but the download failed for some unknown reason.
So, How can I turn this feature on?
This question was solved.

Hp pavilion dv6 laptop has a black screen problem.

Hello,

The laptop is working,have the necessary sounds after i
turn it on,but the problem is that the screen stays always black
..I connect the lap top to tv screen or external monitor and it shows that everything is working properly.
The laptop may have hit a hard surface. The laptop worked well until about 1 week ago when I turned it on and the screen was hazy at first. I turned it off and turned it back on and the screen was completely black but still had the start-up sound. Someone suggested I see if it works on an external monitor and that worked.
Does anyone kow how I can fix the black screen of my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?
I do lots of study with it and have my exams coming up soon. I need my laptop to be mobile with me and not stationed in one place. Thanks in advance for the help!
