Constant beeps sound then Windows Boot Manager

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1107 X series of portable entertainment. When I turn it on I almost always get a series of very strong short beeps into 3 groups inconsisent. First group can be 4 to 6 beeps. Second group can have 1 or 2. Third group just going until the Windows Boot Manager appears.  Once I select the Vista operating system everything seems to start to work as usual.

Here's what I did:

1. replace the card motherboard and CPU

2 checked and tested the hard drive diagnostic and in another machine - OK

3. have you used a good hard drive in this machine - the same symptoms, no change.

4 RAM stick checked and tested in both slots and diagnostic test on another machine - good

5. have you a recovery of the default settings - operating system (OS) have behaved erratically.

6 do you have a clean installation using another machine - OS works but same symptoms as above with the beeps and Windows Boot Manager.

7 installed all required drivers as required in the Device Manager (after a LOT of problems trying to find the driver of HP download support - I had to search for HP Compaq Pavilion dv6-1107AX find a site linking driver downloads).

8. have you run AVG anti virus and anti-spyware (Malwarebytes, Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware) 3 x. Bugs nothingness based.

9 reset the BIOS by default.

Am also having problems anytime access BIOS. It takes several attempts, but can be obtained by pressing F10 immediately after the first screen with ESC on that option.  Also have problems Access Mode safe mode using F8 but perseverance is necessary and it will eventually work.

Other ideas anyone please?  Fear that I ran out of them.

Hoping, hoping, hoping...

As it happens, last night I stripped the laptop (still) bare bones that is

* motherboard with 1 stick of RAM and hard disk, CPU, x

* switch cover (market button and LEDs connected to motherboared,)

* external connected monitor.

I had done this before and the unit pulled up OK.  I wasn't hunting question do beep at this time.

This time I also connected the Assembly Speaker and connected to the motherboard as well.  And that's it-no beeps.

Re-assembled the laptop but this time to the left of the keyboard off the coast and pulled upwards. No beeps.

Replace the keyboard on - got beeps loudly.

Check all the keys. Each of them is spring loaded and seems to work very well. Clean the keys and hooked it to the top, but no change.

It seems that the problem has been a key stuck inside the whole keyboard and I'll have to get another. Ordered a replacement last night and will have to see how it goes, but I'm pretty confident.

The only question is now that the screen is in a particular color with a light blue in the Center and black around the edges. It is not a clear distinction but blurred between the two colors. Never seen that before.

Thanks for your reply.

    Several times using a Windows 7 installation dvd solves these problems. Until a couple of months, you can download an ISO to make a Windows 7 disc and I often recommemded that as a solution. Unfortunately deleted Microsoft Access to those files unless you have a retail license key. I don't know of any other place to download an iso without danger, so the only solution is to buy Windows 7 If you do not have a friend with a disk to use for the installation which you would activate using license key OEM on the label attached to the bottom of your laptop.

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

    When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Hi Maddy,

    This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

    If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

    If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

    If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

  • Remove Windows installing on the Windows Boot Manager

    Title: two Windows Vistas on my PC

    I installed windows vista on my pc, but it wasn't working properly, so I installed it again.  When my computer starts it now goes to windows Boot Manager where there are two window vista operating systems.  The first is OS (C) data D, and the second is OS (D) data C.  First of all, why my computer goes to the window instead of going directly boot manager in windows vista.  Second, how remove the windows version of vista that I do not want to and get the one I want to get into Windows vista without using the Boot Manager?

    Hi BertieBarfield,

    To remove an entry in the Windows Vista Boot Configuration, the simplest method is to use msconfig.

    To start msconfig:

    (a) click Start

    (b) in the search text box, type msconfig

    (c) launch msconfig by selecting it in the results of search above the search text box.

    After that the system configuration is launched:

    (d) go to the Startup tab

    (e) select the boot entry to remove.

    (f) click the button Delete and then click OK.

    Note: Be sure to be connected to the Windows Vista partition, you want to keep when you perform these steps if you do not remove the good installation by mistake, this will cause data loss.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Thanks again.

    The error specified in the link is not same as I get.

    But I tried another option yesterday almost similar to what I had created image of Norton Ghost of my operating system partition.

    -First I used the Dell recovery disk to store everything. Given that this option was not working and give me same above error.

    -File Win7 Home Premium ISO downloaded from http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-58997.iso

    -Burned the ISO to a DVD and booted up the laptop with this DVD.

    -Norton Ghost image restored to the OS partition using Norton software used for the creation of the image

    -Tried but got the same error, then I started mobile uses DVD Win7 and selected option to repair windows

    -Ensure the OS partition is 'active' with Partition Wizard (http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html)

    -Even once when I first started, I saw error like "Repair Windows (recommended)" or "run windows normally.

    -Selected "Run Windows normally", after that I have found no problem. My laptop works perfectly without any startup errors.

    Thanks for your help.

    In fact, Norton Ghost Image helped me restore the operating system on the new HARD drive and as I went through a lot of discussion on this forum before doing this exercise.

  • Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

    I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

    So currently I have:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

    With the new player, I want to:

    SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

    SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

    I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

    Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

    I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

    I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

    When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

    -Old Version of Windows

    -Windows 7 Professional

    Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

    Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

    Hi Mike,.

    I can't tell you why, who started, but I can help you disable this menu and safe you 30 seconds:

    1. System opened by clicking on the button start , right click on computer and then click Properties.

    2. Click Advanced system settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Startup and recovery, click settings.

    4. Under system startup, in the list operating system by default, unchecktime to display list of operating systems.

    As an alternative, you can leave this checked and simply reduce the number of 30 seconds.
