HP DX2450 format microtour slow start on the POST screen.

Hi all

The product name and number: HP DX2450 format microtour

Operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

When I turn on the PC, it takes the computer about 20-30 seconds to access the menu of POST/HP screen.  After that, it starts in Windows 7 pretty quickly and is normal.

Then, when I hit the power button the screen is black with "no signal" displayed for about 20-30 seconds, then upward appears HP POST screen and it starts fine.

I tried everything under the Sun for this remove:

1 pulled all the system RAM and started with inserted individual sticks.

2 MemTest not ran - no error

3 HDD Regenerator only ran - no error

4. the disk check is ran - no error

5 disabled floppy, USB, LAN boot, groups of CD-ROM, diskettes groups, internal speaker audio in the BIOS - do luck

6 reset CMOS - cannot set date/time - no luck

7 Ran HP Diagnostics to start - CPU, RAM and disk hard everything is OK

8 Ran SMART test on hard drive - everything is OK

9. disconnect all USB devices at startup - no luck

10 reinstalled Win 7 on another hard drive plugged into PC - no luck.

11 upgrade BIOS to the latest worm (5.63) - no luck.

I'm out of ideas.  I'm starting to convince myself that works it's just the way the PC and its normal for it to take 20 to 30 seconds of kick.

The only other thing I did is upgrade RAM to 4 GB, but memTest doesn't show any errors.

Any ideas, guys?

Kind regards

Jonathan.

Hi Danjen,

I finally discovered what the problem was.  It was the dedicated AMD Radeon 5450 graphics card I have installed!

I took the card and returned to the integrated graphics card and it starts instantly.

I should have known, really.  I just forgot the graphics card.

Thanks for your help.

    VIC, welcome to the forum.

    Normally, the BIOHD-2 error message indicates that the hard drive has failed.  Here's a guide to help you run the SMART for the reader of the BIOS test.  If you get a similar error message, you must replace the hard drive.  Also, here is a guide to help the recovery of the system once the drive has been replaced.

  • Satellite M40 - 129 stops starting after the Toshiba screen

    Hello
    My M40 continues sometimes to start after the Toshiba screen. He stops and all I see is the blinking cursor. No Error Message or something else and normal boot from the HARD drive. Boot from CD (for example. Œuvres of Knoppix). This problem sometimes occurs and traceable for me isn´t.

    Hey Spoony

    Unfortunately on this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Each user has a specific configuration OS and we don t know how your operating system is configured.

    You can boot OS in safe mode? If Yes check what the problem may be a little. If there is anything you can do I recommend you save all your data and preinstall unit using rescue media. If you do this I recommend also to create two partitions.

    Don t compare WXP and Linux startup procedure. As you know that Knoppix using just the RAM and no HARD drive for the race.

  • HP Compaq dx2300 format microtour CPU Upgrade requires the bios update

    Hey, my Hp compaq dx2300 format microtour came with a core2duo E4400 processor, I had an E8400 CPU because they share the same socket LGA compatible on the motherboard and it fits perfectly, only the pc does not start, then read around some sites say it is supported by my MSI motherboard A 0, 90, others only reported up to E6700 what I don't understand, is why it wouldn't work? I BIOS v1.14 (latest news on the list of dated drivers '2008'!) and can't seem to find a solution for this, please tell me what to do I don't want to be stuck with a CPU, I can't use cause it isn't a way to map mother read it, thanks in advance!

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, you're stuck with an E8400 which won't work in this PC.  See page 4.

    Here are links to the quickspecs for your model.

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12668_na/12668_na.PDF

    An E8400 processor will not work in any case with x chipset Intel 94 or 96 x chipset.

    In order to run an E8400 into a PC, there need an Intel 3 series chipset or 4 of the series.

    Of course a processor must adapt to an outlet, but is not the only criterion needed to make it work.

    If you put expensive RAM and/or incorrect RAM then Yes. iMacs are very sensitive to the RAM and you must use quality RAM, more experienced on these forums users use OWC (www.macsales.com) or critical (direct purchase). RAM should also be installed in pairs. If you purchased anything else, then after a report of EtreCheck of your system and we can look for obvious problems.

  • Satellite U400 - color of the shell of edges and slow start of the housing

    Hi all

    Just bought a Satellite U400-15B and am loving the laptop itself but have the following two issues.

    First of all, regarding the case I noticed that on the edge of the high gloss base (where he meets the not shiny black plastic bottom) the paint is already peeling.

    It is mainly about above the left USB port, CD drive in Rabat and at the rear above the battery (only visible when the lid is closed). It is very minor and is only visible when looked at her carefully, but obviously I paid a lot for this so do not want to look all worn in a few months. Someone at - it? I took a look at a few display models and its mixed, some are worn in areas similar some are perfect. I would like to exchange it, but I'm afraid that the replacement can be another problem like a dead pixel or may have the same problem only worse?

    Second, I noticed that my laptop takes a long time to start compared to my old Toshiba A200 which also runs Vista. I removed a lot of bloatware and the Toshiba TEMPRO, which I heard is also causing problems, but I still have this problem. It seems to start fine until the Vista logo screen then it takes awhile, while displaying "Please wait".

    Anyone has any ideas on this?

    Hello MrAK

    If the laptop is brand new and you have a few days only I recommend you contact your dealer as soon as possible and. Talk with them and explain that you don't want to have replacement with dead Pixel or something like that. I hope they will understand you and help get new but 100% good laptop.

    Slow start is discussed several times. I have Satellite A300 and commissioning was horrible, but now, after a slight modification it starts after only 1.5 minutes.

  • Slow start of the missing files?

    I recently deleted some .tmp files and since Windows XP (SP3) is very slow to start. I did a clean boot and it takes so much time. The delay occurs after the Welcome screen disappears from the screen and lasts a little more than a minute. After the start, everything seems to work normally.

    Is the delay caused by Windows looking for missing files? If so, do I have to reload from CD and then reinstall SP3?

    This was due to an update for .NET Framework 4. My actions have been a coincidence.

    See: KB 2571181 for a fix.

  • Satellite U940 Windows 10 update, very slow start to the top

    Hello

    It looks after upgrade to win10, the SSD is not used to quickly boot up the laptop.
    How can this problem be solved?

    In tools, defragment disc, it shows all of my partitions as SSD drive so I can't defragment.
    Why are they displayed as SSD? I think that the basic motivation is a 500 gb HHD and only a 32 GB SSD is included.

    Also in the management of the computer disk SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB of capacity and is not used (all 11.22 GB free)

    Help, please. I want to get the quick start of the win8.1 and at the same time be able to defragment my HARD drive.

  • Windows 7 x 64 extremely slow start and the screen 'welcome. '

    Hello!
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500:

    Intel C2D 2.5 GHz
    4 GB DDRII 800 MHz RAM
    400 GB 5400 RPM Toshiba HDD
    ATi 4650 GPU

    I have Windows 7 Pro X 64 OS real, through MSDNAA

    The boot takes 17-21 seconds on the Welcome screen (20-30 seconds ' welcome'), then 1-3 minutes on open office.
    I have all the drivers installed, I tried to start the removal of unnecessary startup programs, but it's the same thing, only 1-5 second faster.
    I reinstalled my OS several times, the HARD drive is in AHCI mode, but I tried to 'Compatibility', but does not solve the problem.
    After bootlogo, there is very high HARD drive activity (people with disabilities search indexer and superfetch too)
    With x 86 startup is about 1 min.

    I suggest a bit of required diagnosis. Try this [how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7 | http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135]

    original title: can not go beyond the Welcome screen, or the safe mode works - Vista

    About 2 days ago I received the 'blue screen of death '. I tried to connect to the main user account, but the screen would not go further than the Welcome screen. I then tried to open a session through safe mode, but that no longer works. After a few tries to connect to my user account, I tried to log in through the guest account, which has worked. The guest account has worked as it should, I was also able to use the internet. After that I tried to connect it to my main account again, but it still does not work. If anyone can help me with this, ID really appreciate it!

    Here's what I got on the blue screen of death:

    If this does not resolve the problem: Please reinstall your copy of windows vista completely

    Depending on the symptoms, it is very likely that this problem is caused by a conflict with third-party drivers or services. If you have a back up of all your data, please reinstall the operating system. A new installation of Windows Vista is always an effective way to solve such a problem. After formatting the hard drive and reinstall Windows Vista, we will obtain a new installation of Windows Vista. It is more stable than the current system.

    At startup, the iMac rings and goes to the grey screen where he hangs up and does not progress.

    Thank you very much!

    Paul,

    My iMac (early 2010) has just started doing the same thing.  Initially, I could start in recovery mode, but download time was 18 hours and time increased.  I stopped the download and downloaded the installation on a USB disk on my MacBookPro in the hopes that I could start the iMac to the USB instead soon and not tomorrow. Now, I can't get the computer to boot on the USB stick or the recovery partition.

    So he can start on the USB key you must hold down the option key when you hear the chimes boot.  Then maybe you can try and have some success.
