Laptop icons flashing HP Envy 6

My laptop HP Envy 6 worked fine the night before. It runs on Windows 8.1 and has Windows 7 desktop icons and on the start page has Windows 8 Apps.   I turned it off because we had lightning and storms on the outside and does not turn on until the next day.  When I turn it on now the computer lights up fine I login it takes me on the Windows 7 Desktop and icons will begin to blink and I can't access any of them and I can't access Windows 8 applications or help.  I noticed the Port with the SS USB flashing also.  I turned my computer off several times to see if it stops flashing, but it's not. He tells me that I am connected to the internet, but I can't access it to get help so I use another computer. Thanks for what help you can give me.

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

    Even if it is a Commercial product, here is a link to to test the battery.

    Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

  • HP ENVY laptop - 15-ae103na: HP Envy 15 AE-103NA fingerprint reader

    SO, since having a HP laptop, I had one for 4 months and then HP gave me this beautiful machine... Unfortunately questions... maybe my fault this time well!

    So, I deleted windows 10, installed a Samsung 1 TB SSD and installed my genuine copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x 64.

    I avoided to install other drivers and updates of Windows, just in case that leads to a format the drive again.

    So for now, I have not installed the chipset drivers, bios update or all drivers for the devices in device manager see the below, but I'll do it now... If necessary, they can be uninstalled.

    So, I was on the HP site, had the HP to choose my system drivers and the laptop and installed the driver list at the keyboard, mice & input devices etc. and installed the single pass software relevant... Nothing... even at the start... the drive is not yet flash or blink at all.

    Previously, I had the system in place all updates etc, then still nothing so I thought I would start again ensure a clean slate. Done the many things suggested on other threads, but nothing yet... so that brings me to create this thread, because it is of a different model of laptop someone elses discussions I've read.

    Eitherway SP74365 & SP71729 drivers do nothing,

    I would really like to avoid having another problem for 4 months with the client side of HP of things then I would really not the tech guys to dig and go hardcore on this issue, if you don't mind.

    I thank you very much in advance,

    Kind regards

    Well, I have figured it out.

    The key is not to install the latest version of Intel (R) _USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver.

    For 2015 ALL HP laptop computers that have Windows 7 installed, you need this driver...

    Intel (R) _USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_4.0.4.51

    Don't download HP cos it does not theres missing drivers in the installation package that is why devices such as:

    TruVision Cam, Bluetooth, biometric devices, and a host of other USB based devices don't work... the drivers are not included.

    Use THIS link, https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-8-9-100-Series-and-C220-C610-Chipset-Family.

    I recommend that you install it immediately after the new installation of Windows 7 before ANY updates to Windows.

    I can only really recommend this on the latest models of 2015 for example:

    HP Envy 15 AE - XXX NA

    HP Envy 17 AE - XXX NA

    but it will probably work with others too.

    Install drivers and reboot!

    After that, you can install synaptics simplepass, Nvidia, etc..

    You also won't likely NO internet access at ALL at first, you will need to go to HP site on another computer and download the graphics Intel, LAN and Wifi Intel drivers and install them in order to be able to directly download all applications from your laptop.

    IE on windows 7 is old so Web pages appear incorrectly/broken...download and install Firefox or chrome.

    Job done! I'm going to this post in the forum and see if I can get it to make a post sticky!

    Good luck!

  • Computer laptop screen flashes

    Hello. My laptop screen started blinking last night and it jumps between desktop screens and start. Also, the icons on the taskbar disappear and reappear when it flashes. I see that others have had this problem on another thread, but it does not resemble a solution posted after the first response.

    So far I used F8 to access Advanced Boot Options to run a system restore. I did the last update of HP using as reference. The restore went very well, but does not solve the problem. I tried to go back to the previous update and run another restore, but then I got the message that the restoration has failed, and my c drive could be damaged. I can't run a check on this record that the laptop doesn't let me log on as an administrator on the application of the control panel when I right click on it.

    II have worked on this problem for the last 2 hours and don't know what to try next and would like some ideas. I'm not very techno then simple instructions work best. Thank you.

    Hi AndreaJJ,

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I saw your post about your laptop flashes between the desktop and the start menu. I'll be happy to help you. I did some research into your solution and found very little information but I found some promising information. Let's look at disabling the Windows Error Reporting Service. To do that you need to access the Services that third link will show you how to get to Services and how to disable a service. In the list you will be looking for Windows Error Reporting Service and disable it. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

    To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • reload the page current icon flashes black to pale gray?

    Reload current page icon contiually flashes, it will sometimes when you close the browser, then align to the top. I wonder if something is not compatible?

    This is related to the JavaScript, but I can't understand what the blinking cursor. It grows only on JavaScript-heavy Web sites. Examples include http://www.nytimes.com.

    My suspicion is that there are some types of waiting for AJAX call floating around, but the mark button to reload flashing trying to communicate is not clear. The cursor flashes constantly at you, but does not tell you what it means, what he wants or expects you to do.

    I can't find any documentation on what this feature (?) bug (?) is supposed to be. It would be good to document or provide a message to info-bubble/overview by telling the user which means in fact the blinking cursor. I would dig through your bugzilla system, journal/publication of change notes, but I can't know when the change was introduced and backlog of Firefox dev docs is GARGANTUAN, and it's just little boring.

    A Firefox developer can answer this question and tell us what really means the button reload flashing?

    In addition, I want to emphasize what seems to indicate to users that they should "reset to firefox to default settings /" is an unacceptable answer. I have a specific configuration for my address bar, button bar, the menu bar, tab bar area, and I like it like that. One of the reasons why I like Firefox is because it allows me to customize such things. Telling me to nuke and suffer with the default settings of focus-group-tested is garbage. No thanks. This isn't a solution.

  • HP Envy laptop - 15-ae011na: HP Envy - keyboard and Trackpad not working after the mode 'sleep'.

    HP Envy laptop - 15-ae011na

    I have this laptop for only 1 week, he did various updates. I guess that's from Windows 8 to 8.1. He also completed an update of the BIOS with HP Support Assistant.

    Question: When the awakening of my laptop mode 'sleep', my trackpad and keyboard do not work, I have unlock my PC using HP Simple pass, then press the power button to restart the machine.

    Troubleshooting: I followed some advice for troubleshooting on the support page which lead me to uninstall the keyboard driver then restart my machine. I have all the latest drivers aswell.

    Someone has an idea what might be causing the problem? Ideally, I'd like to do a restore or upgrade of Windows 10 immediately.

    Thank you.

    Looks like this has been caused some my driver problem with Windows 8.1 and I guess that's with HP SimplePass such that it would not recognize the keyboard and the trackpad after waking up to use it.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 that looks like a solved the problem.

  • HP laptop: adobe flash does not work

    I'm so frustrated.    I have a new HP laptop and have had problems since day one.

    I was getting a green screen during video playback.    Came to this site and saw that I have to install adobe flash uninstaller and then reinstall adobe flash.

    Tried once and it worked for a few days.    Came back today and decided to uninstall adobe flash again and reinstall.   I uninstalled and now it won't let me not reinstall because it affirms that this computer comes with adobe already installed.

    He takes me to their test page and said that I have already installed.   BUT I did not and it does not work.

    What now that I do, I'm about to throw this laptop in the river.   Help, please.
