• HP Pavilion dv7 second HDD installation problem

  Hello

  I recently bought an internal WD7500BPVX 750 GB SATA HDD compatible with my HP Pavilion dv7 - 2030eV to be used as a second hard drive, since I already have a 250 GB HARD drive on the laptop. I also bought a SATA cable which I think is compatible and a caddy for the disc. When I connected the SATA cable and pressed the Start button the laptop powered upwards for about a second and then stop.  I disconnected the SATA cable and left only 250GB driver connected. When I turned on again your laptop booted normally. Once I tried to connect the new HARD drive again the same thing happened. Any ideas what might be happening? I checked two times for parts compatibility before you buy, but I can't rule out it as a cause.

  Thank you all in advance for your help.

  Hello

  This series does not start with two different hard disks. If you want a second hard drive, you need the same 250 GB drive as the original to make it work.

• HP Pavilion w2216h monitor repeating problems...

  Hello, I own a HP Pavilion w2216h monitor. It is the second that I own. The first has almost the same problem as the one I have now... but since it's on the warranty sent me a new. Now, it is up just like the old. I think that there is a fault to underscore with this monitor, but I'm not sure.

  The problem with the monitors is almost the same thing.

  The first monitor would have distorted color and lines of this violet/red/brown go through it, I don't remember if it was in the vertical or horizontal. It does not matter because it was under warranty and I got this new monitor sent me. Same model.

  For the second monitor, the screen gets very white, then slowly goes black. The colours seem to fade and blend each other. If left to run its course, ends with the screen goes black with shades of white and other colors in random places.

  Here's the info...

  HP Pavilion w2216h Monitor

  Computer HP Desktop running Windows 7 64-bit edition

  Graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 9800GT

  It is connected to the VGA DVI cable. Connecting the monitor to the video card.

  Here's what I did and checked so far...

  I checked the video card carefully, the drivers are installed and up-to-date. Works well with 2 other monitors different brand and size. There is no overheating of any kind and the DVI connector works very well. So the problem is not with the video card. I checked all the cables! Swapped, cables and tight, raging, then tightened again to make sure.

  Recap. The computer is good, the video card is good, the DVI connector is good, the VGA cable is good. This leaves the monitor to blame. Now here's the question is it broken? Or can I fix? Also I'm the only person having this problem? If this isn't the case, please answer, cause I have the impression that it is a recurring problem for many people who own this product. Thank you for your time.

  Hello Rockets1995,
  
  If the screen is white that usually tells me that it is a bad connection. If you are still under warranty then you can start there.
  
  If you are not in the warranty and you want to try an auto repair then you can go that route as well. If you open the monitor there is a small tablecloth that connects the screen to the Board of Directors, this cable is likely in the open air and is not firmly connected.

Is having problems starting, if the battery is in, just lift the lid, it will get to start to boot or with the battery, plug the charger will get to start initialization. Unfortunately, he never through the start cycle die in 5 seconds, no matter if I press F2, F8, F11 or another F key, I entered the bios once, but once again, he is dead a few seconds.

• Very slow SSD OCZ Vertex 3 Pavilion MSI MS-7184 problem

  Hi guys, hat

  I ve becomes a gift from a friend in the form of a Pavilion Desktop PC.

  The first problem is that I don't really know the type of flag of it.

  What is certain, is that it is equipped with a

  • Card mother MSI MS-7184
  • 2 GB OF RAM
  • Radeon HD 6570 chart and it has the
  • BIOS version 3.48
  • HP P/N: 5188-3246

  This is my second (big) problem with it:

  I have buyed an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD, hoping I am going to upgrade and increase my speed to WIN 7 Ultimate. Not my day... it's so slooooow. I tried bothways, that is, copy of the system partition on the new SSD and new installation WIN7 Ultimate on the SSD drive.

  I searched on the net on SSD include slow questions and the only things I found were that I have to activate the option to access HDD AHCI in the BIOS, option that I have not in my BIOS.

  All help aprecciated!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Please report the number of HP for the PC product.

  Do you know what level of firmware your Vertex 3 is running?   Firmware version 2.22 is the last.  If your firmware is down 2.06, then you need to upgrade gradually.  I would not be to update the firmware if you decide to return the SSD drive. See my information below.

  I think that the card mother MSI has only SATA I, which is very slow for a VERTEX 3 allowing to operate at full capacity.  Frankly, I'm surprised that the VERTEX 3 works even on a SATA what should I wear as much SATA III SSD will not work on a SATA I port.  Review this OCZ VERTEX 3 document.

  You can see if you can return and exchange for another SSD that is backward compatible with SATA I.  Maybe the Vertex 2 or the agility-2 would be better for your needs.

• HP Pavilion m4-1001TX: startup problems

  Hello! My laptop is a HP Pavilion m4-1001TX. Recently, I updated my Windows laptop, 10 OS. Subsequently, I met problems white screen, which was resolved by resets hard (as suggested by various forums).
  
  A week ago, I met the same problem. However, I tried the suggestions (from hard reset, external LCD screen, BIOS recovery, for re-allocation of places the memory module). Whenever I start it, I can hear the hum of the fan 3 seconds, but then everything is silent. The power button and LED f12 button is down as well.

  Once again, Hello.

  So my laptop will not initialize correctly for about a month and a half, which led me to use my tablet.

  Anyway, it took me a long time before deciding to disassemble my laptop. Because ultimately, I could so he had repaired, I tried to check his parts. Verification of entrails, the fan is full of dust.

  After cleaning, the laptop worked properly. (FINALLY.)

  so for you guys, try troubleshooting step by step made by HP. However, if these things didn't work and your laptop is probably a year or two and you haven't cleaned his fan, you might as try though clean it by compressed air or disassembled.

  Disassembly, check the code of product in your laptop and search for it on HP Media tab. The research would generate some links, one of them showing a manual on how to disassemble the laptop properly. Follow these steps carefully.

  I hope this post helps you on about the start-up problems.

  NOTE: Disassembly for me is my last choice, so DO NOT REMOVE IT unless YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IT.

• Satellite C660-1GK - C HDD partition problem

  Hi all!

  I have the Toshiba Satellite C660-1GK for a year and a half. After 6 months, my hard drive is dead.

  First the laptop has been really slow, then started the famous clatter of the disc.
  I made backup and checked the disk with tools from Hirens. Toshiba diag will read even not she, Smart said that his State of health is bad bad sectors (30% or more), began to burst... I therefore took the laptop to my ASP.

  They replaced the disc and then 13 months later (a week ago) the same story! Disk health went even lower (was 11%) and bad sectors initially jumping like crazy.
  Once again, a trip to ASP.

  I have my laptop today with a new drive. After that reading posts on this forum, I'm afraid that there or card mother/problem of power or we're just all with no luck with readers.

  I just, I can't accept that the disks die randomly every 4-12 months to meet. My last drive on HP laptop lasted 4 years! I have about five more months of warranty and I'm really not satisfied with the situation. This laptop is on my desk, it has own station with nice, big fan so this isn't overheating - basically, I took out of the House in September.

  I'm careful with it! But if the disk dies before the end of the year, maybe it's time to get a new laptop.
  Toshiba no, this time :(

  Please, you have any ideas, advice... ?

  Hello

  A few years ago, I bought a laptop from another manufacturer.
  My first HARD drive died after over 2 years of use. I bought another, has replaced the old HDD and the new HARD drive died after 4 months of use.

  No matter which HARD drive is going to die sooner or later because his part instrumentation it s a question of HARD drive use and the question of how you handle all.

  In my opinion it s a bad luck of course sound always pity if a HARD drive starts to malfunction but I m afraid there are not many options to prevent it.
  Of course, you can switch to a SSD drive which is stable in use. I did a few months ago, I bought the 250 GB SSD drive and replaced the internal HARD drive

• HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n problem

  So I had this problem which started today.

  When I booted my PC: HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n - it goes to the startup screen with the HP logo but it remains just there frozen.

  Another thing I have noticed is my mouse and keyboard are not powered at all even though they are correctly connected to their respective ports.

  I don't know why he acts up like this now. I tried to connect the mouse to another PC and it worked, so there must be something wrong with the HP Pavilion itself.

  Wouldn't be the motherboard or some circuit?

  Other things to note that I got this PC reformatted all for more than a year with an installation of XP (as he came originally with XP).

  Restarted the PC and still has the same issues. CD Player opens, the PC itself is powered and the screen is frozen on the blue screen HP startup. (Shows the menu and controls everything, but can not yet exploited cause there is not going to the keyboard.)

  It is possible that a RAM module is either lost contact with the slot, or is defective. Can help with reintegration.

  (1) note what slots are occupied. Remove all the RAM of motherboard. Here's the tech manual. Put 1 module in the slot located near the CPU. According to the chassis, it could have a radiator/fan together.

  (2) unit to retest. Repeat with additional modules.

  (3) any module that tests OK can be reinstalled in appropriate accommodation.

• Pavilion g6 HDD space very quickly

  Hi, I bought a laptop Pavilion g6 a month ago. I love this computer and get used to the new system.

  But the only thing that concerns me is that hard drive space is used very quickly. That's scared me, eventhoug I have a 500 GB hard drive, that is 390 GB now. It updates every time feeding on hard disk space.

  Since I am new to this, I don't know what to do to stop this. And also, I'm afraid that if I do not have the regular updates of HP my computer will not run as it should.

  HP Pavilion g7-2240us Notebook PC

  Model #: C2M31UA

  Please help if you can I have a paper to write, and this problem is difficult/impossible to work with.

  Hello

  Maybe it's a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.

  Open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand keyboards, right-click on the "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" entry and select uninstall.

  When this is finished, stop the laptop.

  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.  Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

  Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f9 to load the default values (sometimes it is f5, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

  Kind regards
