Pavilion dv6-6c14nr: launch of the browser and redirecting on several occasions

For the last two days, I had a problem frustrating with my browser/computer - the browser will be repeated launch or redirect to the home page.  To be more precise, if the focus is on an active browser window (in other words, if this is the app that I use or this is the last application, I clicked on), the browser will redirect to the home screen.  If, however, the emphasis is on another application, a new browser window will be launched.  This problem occurs regardless of the browser that I use (and when a new browser window opens, it is my default browser, Chrome, and it opens to my home page, a new empty tab).  When I was working in Visual Studio, it opens the browser which belongs to VS, then repeatedly redirected to the home page by default for this browser. The frequency with which this happens varies, once every few minutes, at most of the time (more than once per second) - I got 40 + windows browser in less than a few minutes. I removed all of the Add-Ins and Extensions, under the assumption that one of them could be the cause of the problem - no luck.

I read similar messages on the HP Board by people who appear to have been able to solve this problem, despite the attempt of everything, including the relocation of the browsers and even reformat the hard disk!  Someone suggested that fixing file hosts worked for her, but I checked my and it seems to be as it should.

In fact, I wonder if this could be a hardware problem any. Seems not intuitive for me, of course, but here's the thing... a few days previously, when booting, I saw some kind of error about my fan works not properly.  I installed Speccy (by Piriform) to monitor the conditions of my system and noticed that my computer has been running hot from time to time. So, I know this sounds nuts, but I put an ice pack under my laptop (well, two trays full of ice in an oversized Ziplock bag) and the problem seems to have slowed down a bit.  Also, I noticed that this problem seems quite widespread on HP Pavilion machines.

Is it possible to fix this? Or will I stuck buying a new laptop? Although laptops are really cheap now, I really can't afford it. I suspect that the replacement of the fan would cost almost as much as a new laptop. But I can't work on it like that! Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello and thanks for your advice and comments.  After reviewing the comments posted to some old messages to people with similar problems, I think I understand the problem, but also a solution in the short term...

Apparently a fan problem is originally the computer overheats a little, and the heat is initially somehow the computer thinks that the shortcut for 'WWW-Home' is pressed several times (not sure of the mechanics behind this, but the shortcut implies the F5 key, which is located in one of the hottest areas of the computer).  The warmer the computer becomes, is more frequently as she considers the shortcut key display press and more frequently a new browser is launched.  So, a quick solution to the problem - disable the shortcut key (by editing the registry or by using a software like KeyTweak - the code for the key is 144, btw). Of course, I'll replace my fan in the next few days (I have a bag of ice below pending), but it's nice to have the use of my computer until there!

Based on the other posts, I've read, this problem seems quite common for my laptop model - a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6 c 14nr.  Most of the messages I read involved HP pavilions, and many of them were a HP Pavilion dv6 or similar.  Others with the same problem seem to have experienced worsening much more that what I have - many of them actually reformat the hard drive when nothing else worked - and if this still does not solve the problem for them, they got rid of their HP laptop. Perhaps HP can save this information as a 'known problem' and view the Guide somewhere for support staff and users to easily find?

Thanks again!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

    Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?

    I had to reload a HP Pavilion dv6-6c14nr with Windows 7 Professional.   Also, I need to install Microsoft office.  I have the installation discs to install the programs and licenses.

    Question using an installation CD the same process as with Dell computers.   Dells you choose F12 and select the CD drive and start the installation on the CD.

    I already know that there is the partition of re - install that can be used to recover a broken BONE, but if this OS is not the one you want, then you must install the version of the OS from the CD you want, format the drive as part of the installation and continue on the it.

    Once again my question is simply the key F12 serves the same function on HP laptops.

    Thanks in advance

    1. just to be sure, check the stop code (64680447) is correct.

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello:

    The problem is that if you look in Chapter 3 of the manual, pp 22-23, there are maps of separate used for the dual core and quad core processors system.

  • Everyone is having a problem with only being able to do a Google search and then nothing after that. I have to close the browser and reopen it to each search

    Since the upgrade to 12.0, I am only able to do a Google search. After the initial search, nothing happens when you try to make another. I have to close the browser and reopen it to each search. Any ideas.

    Try to start Firefox in safe mode. This mode disables all extensions, customizations, hardware acceleration, etc., temporarily for the diagnosis and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then it is probably a problem with the add-on. Restart Firefox in normal mode, and then type "subject: addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions, restart Firefox between each one, until you find the troublemaker.

    A few other basic problems you can try things is the following:
    Run all Windows updates, install all required service packs, etc.

    Updating your graphics driver (Firefox uses the graphics card for rendering and an outdated graphics card driver can cause problems. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers.

    Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.

    Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This check allows that there is no virus on your computer, causing problems. You can uninstall this program after having cleaned the infections.

    If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • If I click on "PIN to the browser" the sensitive axis is unselected and vice versa. I need object "PIN at the top of the browser" and 'sensitive pine' work at the same time. Any suggestions?

    In the latest version of muse to adobe, I have me against "PIN at the top of the browser" and 'sensitive pine' work at the same time.

    Now if I choose an object and the axis 'browser', "sensitive pine" is unselected and vice versa.

    The need is for the header with the logo and menu bar to be pinned to the top of the browser, so that the page scrolls in the header bar.

    Now when I click on the sensitive left axis for the logo and the sensitive right pin for the navigation bar, the "pin at the top of the browser" gets deselected.

    Any suggestions or workarounds will be appreciated.

    Hi all

    Thanks for that bring to our attention. We will consider adding this feature in the future.

    RyanDoyle - it's an interesting hack you have found! Unfortunately, I wouldn't count on that it works like this in the future, as a bug which is to operate. If you drag the screen to change the width of the browser as a Muse, you'll see that the behavior of the elements in the status button (a menu, for example) is different from when exported. However, if you make a small change to your hack, so it should always work: set button "width sensitive" State instead. In addition, I don't see why all parts must be in separate to this job state buttons, but I've only tried a simple example myself.

    An another workaround I used is to create another, more breakpoint. For example, if I have a menu that is pinned to the top left of the browser in the dots stop, then in a breakpoint, I would pin in the center top of the browser. Normally, I wouldn't add more breakpoints, but there is a way that I found to work around the problem. Ryan workaround is perhaps the best way to go if you take my advice and use a status button sensitive width instead of the width of the browser.

    Hope this helps,

    Anna
