pc doenst boot
hey :)

today i got up and realized my pc doenst boot.. it turns on, but then freezes at the HP screen that has the shortcuts for setup, boot menu etc..

funny thing is that if i click on the shortcuts, it just appears, "loading boot menu" but it doesnt do anything ... :-.-

also cant format because it wont load any boot cd since it dont even get to the part of recognazing the CD..

any ideas?

u must go to the BIOS and then remove all boot devices except cd-rom. Then it loads the disk 100% sure.

pass a rubber gently in the memory card, in the yellow part of it (that bar)

i had a similar problem and that solved
2012-05-20 19:45:39
a rubber? uma borracha? :0

yes, it will "unmagnetize" the card or something like.

but well, try what the other guys said first, then you try this :)

this is a hardware issue... your system seems to be failing the POST test... what you need to do is open up your CPU and check for any hardware device that isn't tightly screwed... Do check whether the RAM sticks are properly inserted into their respective slots or not...

i thought it was software issue XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2012-05-20 20:21:50
unplug your HDD and see if it works ..
2012-05-20 20:37:04

2012-05-20 21:46:46
I think its a HDD failure .
2012-05-20 20:51:51
unplug the memory sticks one by one... You can try to remove the CMOS battery and wait a bit...

2012-05-20 21:50:48
no.. a friend told to do that.. is it simple?
2012-05-20 21:58:38
"You can try to remove the CMOS battery and wait a bit.."
that is it
then bring it back
2012-05-20 21:59:32
not hdd problem because pc loads without it . check
not supply power, because pc turns on . check
u said i was not memory problem . check

try to unplug any card reader, cd/dvd reader ..
does your pc "beep" when while botting ?
remove CMOS battery and wait some minutes .
i'd say its graphics or memory problem .. try to use another one .. or memory failure ..
2012-05-20 22:27:17
have u tried to boot with an other hdd? it could be that ur hdd have died. other then that u shud try to take out ur CMOS battery for a bit n put it back in as more ppl have said before me. also double check that everything is tightened properly n is in its place.

Just remove the battery for 5 minutes. Disconnect any device (mouse, keyboard, modem, etc) except the monitor of course.

Also, disconnect the power cable from electricity (even if your computer is off, there could be some electricity going through so disconnect everything)

After 5 minutes. Put battery back on and power cable and turn on. After it turns on connect your mouse, keyboard, etc.

I've had this problem a couple of times before
and got it solved everytime by doing this.

Tell me if it worked.
