Hello
1. did you perform the restore factory settings or clean install on your computer?
Unfortunately, you can not recover the data on the computer after the factory or a clean installation is called.
The factory settings are preinstalled at the factory this is what you'll get when you restore provided the factory with the partition recovery or recovery disks. The recovery software uses an image file to re-create the disk hard as it was when you bought it.

HP dv6-3042tx - replacement hard drive? Computer would not start after Windows update
Hi guys,.
I'd love to help I bought a HP DV6-3042TX about a year and half ago. I hadn't used for a while and when I turned it on, he had to do updates etc. for windows 7. These all downloaded and installed. However after they have installed I couldn't restart my computer.
I did a diagnostic boot test and got in return

Hard drive 1
This mean that my hard drive is actually dead and replacement needs? If so is anyway to recover my files and what model of hard drive can I replace it with?
Any help would be great
Thank you
Hello
The drive Self Test (DST) short error seems to indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.
Regarding your existing files, a possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is following the process described in the link below. The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can run from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure. When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.
Replacing the hard drive is a fairly simple procedure.
The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.
The procedure to replace the hard drive begins Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.
Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see here for more details.
If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.
If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin here.
Kind regards

I got to my computer today and there was a blue screen with white writing about him say a word on the internal discharge. Then later in the day, the computer froze, after a while the screen went black with just the cursor on the screen. I restarted the computer and now it just does not start. In normal mode it gets as far as the loading screen Windows with the movement of green bar but stays on it indefinitely. If I try to start in safe mode it gets as much as crcdisk.sys and then crashes, and if I try to boot from the Vista recovery disc, it also only gets the windows loading green bar and stay on it. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:E:\ application not found
So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.
IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.
So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.
Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.
SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.
I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.
I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.
Help, please.
I spent so much money on these games, and I love them! I don't have the money to buy a new computer.

computer does not start after installing video card
I, m new here so please bear with me. I have a PC HP Pavilion Media Center TV (m7434n) I'm trying to replace the video card (Nvidia GeForce 6200SE with Turbo Cache) in. I am trying to replace it with a Nvidia EVGA 8400GS. I delete all the nvidia drivers, make sure that the pci-e card is used in the implementation. I have then to remove the old card and install a new one. When I try to start the computer, fans turn on but that's all. There is nothing on the monitor. The computer does not start. I replaced the power supply bestec 300 watts with a new antec brand 430 watt power supply. When I reinstalled the old video card, the computer starts ok. I tried to replace the video card with an ATI Radeon HD5550 too and it's the same thing (the computer would not start), reinstall the old card and it starts up fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gary,
You may have a compatibility issue with the ATI HD 5550 and 2006 PC model. I've seen other posts where ATI 5xxx video card did not work in older HP PCs.
When you are referring to the installation of the older video card do you mean going back to the integrated video card? Moving the video cable to the card installed?
Install the NVIDIA 8400GS and connect the video cable. Now follow the instructions for clear the CMOS.

Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM
Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.
Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.
Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well. And that's it as far as the computer becomes. After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect. I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point. I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected. Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success. I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well... Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).
The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.
I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.
If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.
Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.
At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?

Computer does not start after running the utility Boot Lenovo.
Hello
I replaced the power supply with a CX550M of Corsair, increased memory by exchanging the 4 GB to 8 GB for a 16 GB total, I added a hybrid 2 TB Seagate HDD and all worked fine until yesterday, about 1 month.
Yesterday, I decided to run all the tests of the Lenovo startup disk and after that I restarted, the computer does not start.
When I press the power button, the fan starts and it stops after 3 or 4 seconds and nothing happens, the monitor says no signal, I removed the external USB disk and printer, I reoved the second drive and the same thing heppens.
Any idea what this problem could be? Would it be a bad power supply?
Thank youMario
Resolved, I erased the memory CMOS, moved to following ankle boot, back up the cmos.
Thank you

Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card
I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.
System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.
Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me. Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:
1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?
2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011. And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?
In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.
Hello @Eric_Z,
I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.
Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:
- A PCI Express x 16
- Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
- A PCI Express Mini Card x 1
As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.
Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.
I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.
I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

This Pavilion comes preinstalled with a nVidia GeForce GT 630 graphics card. The fan on the card goes bad - the card smells "burny" when I run, the fan works really hard and the computer crashes while playing graphics-heavy games.
I tried replacing a PNY Verto GeForce GT 730 2048 MB DDR3 card. But now, with the Verto installed, my flag starts, it crashes just on the HP splash screen. I can not start safe mode nor can I access the BIOS settings.
Care of the Verto seemed to think it would work in my Pavilion - PCIe 2.0, at least 300W PSU. I searched online for help but can't find a solution for my problem.
Any tips?
I checked the support page for my Pavlillion and I noticed a updated driver for my computer's BIOS. I installed and it seems to have solved the problem.
