  How repairing when HP Pavilion dv7-4065dx will not run the operating system, disk hard main self-test result 303.

  Hello

  303 error seems to indicate that the drive is defective and must be replaced - it is also compatible with the problem you describe.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disc replaced.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

• failure of the targeted reading test and smart short self-test

  I have over problems with my computer is - it related to software or hardware?

  Please advice

  • The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user of imminent drive failure while there is still time to take action, such as copying the data to a replacement unit.

  The above is an excerpt from the article below:

  S.M.A.R.T.

  The thread below from Windows SevenForums describes possible solutions:

  Windows 7 - SMART short self-test fail
   http://www.SevenForums.com/hardware-devices/148900-smart-short-self-test-fail.html

  I strongly suggest you to immediately perform a backup of all your personal files, data, and anything else that is important for you to external media (an external IMO is better but you can also use CD/DVD or a USB flash drive) until the hard drive breaks down.

• SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

  HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

  Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

  I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

  It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

  Try this:

  1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
  2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
  3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
  4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
  5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

  Figure 1: Example of a primary hard disk self test screen

  
  

  The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

  Let me know the results of this test.

  Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

  I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

  You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

  With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

• XPS12 SMART short self-test fail WHD16 LY6

  "When you run the Dell ' Checkup" utility on the SSD drive, the drive will fail with:

  SMART short self-test fails WHD16 LY6

  The remaining tests are ignored. The suggestion is to update the firmware. However, my drive is:

  LITEONIT LMT-256M6M 256GB mSATA

  and I can only find firmware on the Dell site for both LITEONIT SSD 256 GB drives, or precisely what mine are. (Only LITEONIT LCS-256M6S 2.5 256 GB and LITEONIT LMT-256M3M MSATA 256Go are listed).

  I have the latest drivers for the disk (9Q23_Storage_Driver_X6KKJ_WN_11.5.0.1207_A01. (EXE)

  Are there available firmware, and if so where is it please? Otherwise, what is the next step?

  Thank you.

  Thanks, EJN - F12 diagnostics appear clean. I guess that I'm worried about this then.

• my file were gone in all menu programs start but it still usable in the c drive... Why? and how to get back to normal

  my file were gone in all menu programs start but it still usable in the c drive... Why? and how to get back to normal?...

  its empty in all programs but available to the c drive... can someone help me? /

  The elements of the start menu are a few shortcuts to the files on the C: drive you mention.  Done that caused all the elements of Start Menu to disappear?  This is sometimes caused by viruses that hide items on the computer, make sure that the computer is virus free, run a Malwarebytes scan on the machine.  If the machine is free virus that then I suggest that you do a system restore to a point just before the problem started.

  What type of driver sound has extension wav? Which audio driver should I download Windows 8 and how?

  Sannia Hello,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

  1. do you try to play audio files. WAV extension?
  2. If so, what happens when you play the files? They do not play, or you receive an error message or a code?
  3. What is the brand and model of your tab Windows 8?

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  File (WAV) Audio Waveform format is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) binary stream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and used the format AIFF on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Windows for audio usually compressed gross systems and not compressed. The usual bitstream encoding is the format for linear pulse code modulation (LPCM).

  Audio driver is common for all types of audio files. However, in order to play an audio file with a specific extension, you may need a special codec that you can install. You can refer to this article:

• "display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 310.64 not responding and has successfully recovered"

  I always get the following error message "display driver nvidia windows kernel mode driver version 310.64 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". It sometimes lets my screen refresh but often he kills to the video out all together and I have no choice but to hard restart my system. I did the thing to uninstall/reinstall Nvidia, Dell and Windows all with no success. I am running windows 7, graphics Nvidia Gforce GTS250 in a Dell XPS420. Any ideas out there are appreciated!

  Your Dell was origonally supplied with Vista, there is no win7 drivers available from Dell.

  All drivers obtained through windows Update are generic drivers.

  I also assume that its a Nvidia card you have purchased.

  Account these two elements that he may very well be an incompatibility with drivers problem, for which there is no resolution on the current hardware
