Pavilion dv6700 won't start

I'm having a problem with my laptop that I've never had before. As it says in the title, I have an HP Pavilion dv6700. I was using it today, for nothing different than I usually do (an MMO, internet, and msn), and it randomly turned off. I blinked and tried to turn it back on. All the lights turned on, then it shut off again. So I thought it might have overheated and took out the battery, and waited until it was cooled off to turn it back on. For a bit it stayed on, told me to scan during startup, which I agreed to. In the middle of scan it shut off again. Now it won't even get that far, it just turns on for a split second and then turns off.
I looked at the help section, but it didn't seem to help me. It referred to lights blinking, and none of my lights are blinking at all. They all light up as if it's going to start, then all die at once. No deviation from that. Is there anything I can possibly do?

  • HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen

    HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen. Sometimes says missing operating system after changing boot order. I have seen error message 303. This happened after I couldn't stop coolncheap popups so I saved everything to another computer and did a complete restore. When I was in the process of getting it back to working order I allowed updates recommended and optional and then everything started.

    Also pressing F11 won't take me to recovery

  • Hp pavilion dv5000 won't start up anymore

    My notebook pavilion dv5000 with windows xp is not starting up. The battery has been dead for a while now but itwalkways worked fine with the power plug in. After a while, the computer would unexpectantly shut down after a few minutes. Now, I can not get the computer to completely turn on. I am prompted with the black screen informing me that "windows has not started successfully due to a recent software or hardware change.". It gives me the options to start with safe mode or windows normally. I have tried every option multiple times. The closest I can get is choosing to start windows normally. Theblack windows xp screen loads and then the computer dies again andTatars the entire process again. What can I do?

    Try using this document to perform a hard reset on the notebook: http://goo.gl/C9BLD
    If that does not work for you, just let me know and i'll see what else I can find for you.

  • HP Pavilion p6774y won't start, 1 short beep 1 long beep

    My  HP Pavilion p6774y now makes one short beep followed by one long beep repeatedly when I turn the power on. Nothing comes up on the screen. I've taken the RAM out, switched them around, cleaned out all of the fans including the one in the power supply, taken the video card out, unhooked all extra things like monitor, mouse etc, no luck..

  • HP Pavilion Desktop: Won't Start/Towe​r Lights Up

    I have an HP Pavilion p6130yv running Windows Vista.
    For several weeks, occasionally while working, my monitor would suddenly turn white, preventing me from interacting at all with the interface (no mouse arrow, no response from Ctrl+Alt+Delete, no auditory response whatsoever). Sometimes, before it went white as described, my screen would flick every half minute or so. I could easily get rid of the white screen by restarting the computer. No problems for several days until it happened again. Rinse and repeat.
    I left my apartment for two weeks to visit my family, and I return to find that now the computer will not boot. The light on the tower comes on, there's the familiar whir and click, but the monitor does not show any activity, just a blank screen. Most of the time... I find that, if I leave it off for awhile, the monitor will display the startup screen and begin to boot when I turn on the computer, but then it goes blank again, always after reaching the Microsoft loading bar (see the image at bottom of this post).
    It does this before I can enter startup repair or safe mode as well.  Also, when this happens, the tower will usually light up and power down several times before actually showing anything on screen.
    That's the breadth and depth of it. Thank-you very much in advance.
    P.S. There was a power outage several weeks ago, but I do have it connected to a surge protector. Could it be a virus?

  • Pavilion dv6700 shuts down durring start up

    My Pavilion dv6700 laptop will not power up.  When I press the power button the bios screen comes up then the laptop shuts down.  I was having problems with overheating and now think the processor may have overheated one too many times.  How do I know for sure if my processor is bad?

    I think is the system bios mem problem.  and the cpu to the fan, got low voltage,
    when there is not enought power to spin the fan. at certain timing. the problem will started.
    so, to fix this..///
    BUY a NEW one!
    I had almost trashed mines. i got so piss off.
    My old laptop bought it in 2007 still works like charm.Never had any problems.
    which is not a HP brand.
    This one dv6915nr, i had send 3 times to the HP to fix problems...
    and now my warranty expires. and this freaking problem started, no dvd-drive, won't bootup.
    No tpm or tpm has a problem. Turn on...Turn off, Turn on....

  • Pavilion G6-1b59wm won't start at all

    Good day .. I have a Pavilion G6 that won't start at all when the power button is pushed. I've tried it on battery only, and with the power cord plugged in. Yet nothing.
    Here is what I see: When the power cord is plugged in, the power LED next to the port is white. I press the power button and it momentarily flashes white (and the F12 LED flashes). Nothing else happens. No other LEDs lite, and the screen remains black.
    DIagnostic steps followed:
    1. Battery was removed, and unit unplugged. Power button held for 30 seconds, and plugged back in. Nothing.
    2. Battery removed and unit plugged into the wall. Power button pushed and nothing.
    3. Tried a different power cord, different battery .. nothing
    4. Removed the RAM boards, power button pushed .. nothing
    5. Removed the hard drive (RAM still uninstalled), power button pushed .. nothing
    Any further suggestions ?

  • Pavilion dv5-1151 not starting.

    Got a HP Pavilion dv5. It is about 5 years old.
    Last Tuesday the AC Adapter started to heat more than usual. At first the laptop turned off and I waited for the AC Adapter to cool down and retry it and it worked. After reusing the laptop for another 30 minutes, the AC Adapter went very hot again and a small bang sound went from it (it died).
    I got a new universal AC Adapter but the laptop won't start.
    Symptoms:When I plug the new AC Adapter into the power jack, the light near the power jack turns on like it did with the old one, when I press the power button to turn it ON, nothing happens.My battery is long time dead but I tried it anyway. With battery and AC Adapter the light in front of the laptop (front left) is on, showing that the battery charges but when I press the power button to turn the laptop ON, that light shuts down and nothing happens.
    Any ideas?

    You could probably use the dv5-2134nr without an issue. I'd really recommend you just call HP to order the factory restore discs.

  • No Audio Devices - HP Pavilion dv6700

    Hello,
    I would like to start by stating my computer specs. It is an HP Pavilion dv6700 (Entertainment Notebook PC), model dv6815nr, Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Today I installed the newest version of Adobe Flash Player, which caused Firefox to crash. So I downloaded uninstall_flash_player.exe from the Adobe website. Then I downloaded the archive of Flash Player 10, and installed the previous version. When I restarted my computer to allow the changes to take effect, it would not restart correctly. The power light would come on for a few seconds, it would seem like it was starting up, and then it would crash, only to try to restart again. It repeated this process until I held down the power button to manually shut it down. After a while it was able to start up correctly, only this was when the audio problems started.
    First, it said "HP QuickTouch On Screen Display has stopped working." I initially thought this was the main problem, but I realized having no audio devices installed was the real problem. When I hovered the cursor over the audio symbol on the bottom right of the screen, I got this message:
    When I right click the audio symbol and click playback device, it says "No audio devices are installed."
    I opened the Recovery Manager and reinstalled the "HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with Smart CP" since it seemed like it might be an audio driver or something. That didn't work, and neither did a system restore to two days ago (5-29-09). I also tried installing something from "RealTek" which I think was an audio driver, but that did nothing.
    I tried to find an audio driver on the HP website but I didn't see anything related to audio.
    Can anyone help at all? Thanks for any advice.

  • Computer won't start from hard drive or CD, and won't perform system recovery.

    I have an HP Pavilion g7-1314nr. Yesterday it froze and I held down the power button to turn it off. After turning it back on, it started a disk check. I turned it off during the disk check, and upon trying to boot it back up, it told me booting failed and to press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to try again. After multiple attempts, it stopped displaying this message.  Under system diagnostics, I ran a boot test, and it failed. Attempting a system recovery brings up the start-up windows logo, and then a black screen with an enlarged cursor. This morning, I inserted a recovery disk and told it to boot from internal CD/DVD drive. Like system recovery, it brings the Windows logo, and then a black screen with an enlarged cursor. My computer is incapable of booting from either the hard drive or a CD. What do I do?

    Hi @TeridaxXD001 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g7-1314nr Notebook and issues with Windows 7 and starting up.  I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults. You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the fan issue.
    Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 7. There is a section on getting past the HP Logo screen.
    If that does not help at the end of the document it shows you to do a hardware test.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices before troubleshooting. Disconnect all non-essential devices
    Hope this helps you out.

  • Movie Maker won't start

    I have a relatively new HP Pavilion, core I5, 16gb, Intel HD graphics. It came with Movie Maker installed, but Movie Maker won't start - says I need to make sure the PC meets minimum requirements. Say what? It came installed -  I expect it to work. Now what? (I knew I should have gone Mac...)

    Hello mbhaub
    The system at a glance looks powerful enough to run Movie Maker, however, the Intel HD graphics chip may not be powerful enough and can be causing that message. I found a Microsoft Answers thread where it is stated that you should update you Intel HD video drivers. The other option (especially if you intend to do HD video editing) would be to purchase a stronger dedicated video card.
    “Error code: c945000e Sorry, Movie Maker can't start …” when I start Movie Maker
    What are the Movie Maker system requirements?
    What is the exact model of your HP Pavilion?

  • HP Pavilion DV2500 won't turn on

    I'm posting this out of desperation, hoping that someone out there can offer some advice. My wife's HP Pavilion DV2500 won't turn on. When I press the power button, the blue "power LED" comes on (as do the blue lights under the DVD controls and the "harddisk LED" flashes once... the computer fan whirrs into action, but then nothing happens. The screen is always black, nothing appears on the screen. I've tried removing the battery and holding the power button for 60 seconds. I've tried turning it on with the power cord and battery both in, just the power cord no battery, just the battery no power cord, etc. It doesn't make any difference - doesn't power on with any of those configurations. I've also tried unscrewing the panel on the bottom and removing one RAM chip, leaving the other in. Then putting it back and removing the other. Then removing them both. Again, it doesn't make any difference - doesn't power on with any of those configurations. (FYI, the blue light around the AC adapter does light up blue when the AC adapter is plugged in... so that's not the problem) Any tips? The computer is out of warranty, and I'm living in France. It's nearly three years old, so it's probably not worth the labor costs of taking it to a service center. I'm happy to open it up and try to fix it myself - unless it involves a soldering iron! Please... any advice much appreciated.... thank you!! 

    I hadn't used my my DV2500 for about a week. Last night I switched it on no problem downloaded and installed the MS updates ok.About 15 mins later the machine switched off with no warning, and it was connected to the mains, so no power issues.I started the machine up again which started loading Windows Vista Home Premium. during startup it switched off again.I started machine again and message stated Windows Start up repair recommended which I proceeded to do, another message appeared stating that Windows needed to be repaired, so I bit the bullet and decided to reinstal the o/s from the factory image. The machine loaded the Windows files and started to format error message appeared stating corrupt windows file and that I should load the recovery disc which I did. I rebooted the machine from the disc, started to format again and the machine switched off again. All that happens now when I switch on are the blue lights come on. I cannot access the bios or anything, it will not boot up from the disc, just pretty blue lights!I now have a machine that has no o/s pretty blue lights and a blank black screen.From reading the other posts it seems like a motherboard problem.Ideas anyone? p/n  KC453UA#ABA

  • Motherboard issue on Pavilion dv6700

    Hello,
    My HP Pavilion dv6700 (6810us) has been acting up and on Monday would not start up at all. A local IT guy said it was an overheating motherboard issue. Will HP fix this for free? When I try to start it up (while plugged in or not plugged in) it sounds like it is going to and shuts off after 1-2 seconds and then 5 or so seconds later it will automatically try again and keep on trying until I take the battery out to stop it. The IT guy said it was "inadequate heatsinking on the CPU and GPU" which led to overheating.
    Thank you,
    Ali

    alivk,
    I really don't know.  You'll have to contact HP by phone and setup the repair to find out.  There are other places that repair the system boards on these models besides HP though.

  • HP Pavilion G4 won't boot

    My HP Pavilion G4 won't boot. It starts up, goes to the HP logo screen then blacks out and the process is repeated endlessly. When I press the ESC butto. To access the device info, boot options, etc., it does not shutdown or turns off/on abruptly.
    When I first opened it, it says something about a thermal error (overheated maybe) but that was already hours before my sister last used it. She says everything was fine and she was able to shut it down properly. I don't know if it's important but we're using it without a battery for 1-2 years now.
    What could be the problem here? I hope it's just a software issue and not a hardware one. Praying that there's a fix where I won't lose a single file.

    Hi @VIPN
    Welcome to the HP Support Community! I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot to Windows. I will be happy to help. When it goes to the black screen do you get a flashing cursor at all on the screen?
    Try booting up in Safe Mode to see if that works. If you got the thermal error I would suggest trying the HP document Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating, it will have you cleaning the fan using compressed air.
    Does the Caps or Num Lock keys blink at all? If so how many times?
