Pavilion Elite 9120Y running Windows7 (64-bit) has frozen. BIOS does not detect not SATA.

HP Pavilion Elite 9120Y (about 1 year and more) running Windows 7 (64 bit) froze in the middle of a task.  The fan used to rev up every once in a while for 1 year or more.

I opened the box and looked for the capacitors blown on the video card, but the video card is OK.

A few times I was able to go in Windows 7 safe mode, but the computer froze in safe mode.  After a while computer ceased to recognize the HARD drive.

Diagnosis (memcheck) startup DVD worked for a day or two before that stopped working.  Now, I have a Fedora LiveSpin USB and it starts after I disconnect the DVD, CD and HARD drive (SATA all).  Even when the HARD drive is connected, and the Fedora boots, he becomes failure SATA COMMRESET.

I have to power off / power on many times before the start screen appears (otherwise, it's only in black).

I have reset the CMOS (change jumper setting and changed back to the original setting).

In short, it looks like SATA features doesn't work anymore, or bad BIOS.

How can I request the upgrade of BIOS (for the HP 9120y website) if it does not start Windows 7?

Any other solution of workarounds, tips, troubleshooting pointers appreciated.

Thank you.

The phase I) prepare
Make a note of the version of the BIOS installed on your computer.

Phase II) prepare a bootable USB key.
Visit http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm to find out how to prepare a key USB bootable BACK.

Phase III) extract the ROM BIOS update the BIOS executable file.

(1) download the HP provided executable update BIOS.
(2) download 7zip from sourceforge.net.
(3) install 7zip
(4) run 7 - zip file manager, navigate to the provided HP the BIOS exe and extract in the content (by pressing the blue less icon).
(5) locate the VL (number) (number). (number) (number) file to the USB stick and copy.
(6) on the USB stick copy port or the VLnn.nn file and rename it HPBIOS.ROM.

The phase IV) BIOS upgrade
(1) switch off the PC, in need of updating
(2) fix the USB
(3) to start the PC, and you should see the c: BACK prompt.  No harm done so far.
(4) issue the dir command to see the HPBIOS. ROM on the USB stick c: / > directory.
(5) reboot the PC, but this simultaneously press the CTRL and the key HOME together when the PC starts.  Hold it for a minute.
(6) you can release the keys after a certain time (when we know the PC fan is buzzing and do something)
(7) you don't hear about 5 long beeps (which indicates the BIOS upgrade is complete).
(8) restart the PC.

Audit of phase V)
Check to verify that the BIOS version number reflects the newly installed version.

    Hello cello6996

    You are in warranty? If so, I would suggest contacting HP. If you are out of warranty, follow the steps below.

    How does a power button is essentially that it shorts two special pins. This short film is a signal to the power on the power supply and all components. A quick Google search reveals the most common method to do this is to disconnect the wires to the pins on the motherboard power button and then tap a screwdriver against just these two pins. Use gloves as a precaution. or a screwdriver with an insulated handle.

    If the computer starts correctly something wrong with the power button. If the problem persists, it is more than likely a problem with one of the hardware components and the problem will have to be isolated further. Let me know what happens.

  • Buffer SQL commands (get, run, save, etc.) in Developer SQL does not?

    I am a developer SQL 3.1.07.42 Windows 7 64 bit with java 1.7

    I have c:\test.sql that contains
    PROMPT Working
    and c:\testscript.sql that contains
    set echo on
    set serveroutput on
    /
    GET c:\test.sql
    SAVE c:\test_working.sql
    LIST 1 LAST
    RUN
    If I open a new worksheet and type:
    @\testscript.sql
    then press F5, I get:
    @\testscript.sql
    set serveroutput on
    /
    GET c:\test.sql
    SAVE c:\test_working.sql
    LIST 1 LAST
    RUN
    If the c:\test_working.sql is not created and the content of the script is not executed.

    What I am actually trying to do here (and maybe you guys have a better idea) is to capture the output of the sql command that appears on the client, send it to the server, treat it somehow and then do everything with her (she log in my case).

    For example (a very simple example from my scripts).
    spool c:\temporary.tmp
    create table test();
    spool off;
    
    get c:\temporary.tmp
    0 begin insert into logtable (msg) (trim('
    100 ')); end;
    
    save logit.sql
    
    @'logit.sql'
    the idea is to be able to save the output of any control block / anonymous plsql in a way that can be sent to the server for processing (this is for most mistakes, of course).
    I can intercept DBMS_OUTPUT turning SERVEROUTPUT then a DBMS_OUTPUT. ACTIVATE and finally using DBMS_OUTPUT. GET all the lines and the process/log them, but I have not found a way yet to catch the rest of the "TERMOUT' of treatment other than the queue, but even then, I couldn't find a way to get the local file (content) on the server; and this idea GET/SAVE/RUN appeared to be feasible but its does not work (I even tried interactively, but maybe I'm doing something wrong).

    Any ideas/suggestions on the topic are welcome.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    According to the 3.1.04.72 SQL Developer documentation, the "get" command (among others) is not supported:
    Help | Table of contents | SQL Developer concepts and use. With the help of the SQL worksheet | SQL * more supported and unsupported statement...

    If the options are limited. If sqlplus is available and use it as an "external" tool will not conflict entirely with local policy, these links may interest you:
    Re: sqlplus vs sqldeveloper
    Easy Connect and sqldev.conn issues

    Otherwise, you can add a feature request for this on the SQL Developer and see if such an improvement is a priority for the community.

  • Error - the computer is running an operating system Microsoft Dynamics CRM does not support for the installation of the Extension of reporting Dynamics CRM 2011.

    Original title: Dynamics CRM 2011 Extension of reporting facility.

    Nice day

    Asked me to install this program called Extension Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 report Authoring on one of our PC network operations.  The computer is a Dell OptiPlex 960 under Windows XP SP3.  When attempting to install the program, you get the following error message:

    The computer is running an operating system Microsoft Dynamics CRM does not support.  To install this product, you need to upgrade your computer to an operating system supported.  For a complete list of supported operating systems, see the documentation for Microsoft Dynamics CRM (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=181018)
    For additional detals see logfile C:\Documents and Settings\bcodom\Application Data\Microsoft\MSCRM\Logs\BIDSExtensionsSetup.log

    Now, normally, I just coordinates with the end-user to him upgrade to Windows 7, however, after watching on the download page of this application (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13818), I noticed that Windows XP is one of the supported operating systems that can be installed on.  In addition, after looking around on the Technet documentation, I was not given a definitive answer on whether or not this application is not supported on Windows XP.

    So, my question is creation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 report Extension works on Windows XP SP3, or do we let us upgrade this computer to Windows 7?  Thank you!

  • Pavilion dv6 - 2138ca BIOS does not recognize mSata

    My son has this laptop and he tries to upgrade using an msata. This has been installed in the slot msata, but from the start, the BIOS laptop does not recognise andboots off the portable drive 2.5 inch (also a SSD). On enter in Windows 8, Disk Manager does not see the drive. I can only conclude that the BIOS has not considered or the other.

    Hello

    This site is NOT for an mSATA SSD. It's a location miniPCIe for a TV tuner. I saw some people modding the BIOS, it could be used as a slot mSATA, but I don't think it would work on your laptop. The only successful modding has been reported on some HP ENVY 15-3000 with generation processors Intel first. However, I can help you with the list of authorization for incompatible wifi. That can be removed and users can use any wireless card they want.

  • not able to uninstall Assistant support hp in hp pavilion g6 1301tx with windows7 64 bit os

    I have a little problem with my computer pavilion laptop g6 1301tx. I installed the new version of the hp support assistant in my lappy and it worked for a few days.

    One day, when I want to use assistant suport that it does not work and one assistant support window showing was arrested. So I tried to uninstall the software and I did it via Control Panel, he showed the uninstall is complete but the application is always present and it is not removed completely. Now I can't install hp support assistant.

    When I want to install it, again I am the guest below as crush or not?

    hp support assistant now not the list in the Control Panel then how to remove...

    Help me please...

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Unless you still have the installer, download the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - download links are to the bottom of the page - and Save the installer to your download folder.

    http://h18021.www1.HP.com/helpandsupport/HP-support-Assistant.html

    Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note that If you have a 64-bit installation, download and install the Installer x 64 64-bit .msi on the link below.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then, right click on the HPSA installer you download earlier, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  The newly extracted folder, right-click on UninstallHPSA and select "Run as Administrator" - you may well see no progress of this attempt uninstalling, then leave the laptop at idle for a good 10 minutes before restarting it.

    Open your download folder and delete the "record HPSA extracted" so you are just left with the original installer that you downloaded.

    Now run Microsoft 'Fixit' on the link below and use it to install the new version of HPSA.

    Disconnect the PC and press and hold power for 30 seconds. Remove and replace the battery CMOS. It's a $4 item. Now let's see what happens. If no joy, then try the steps above once again.

    If your PC support has been changed or modified then put it back in its original state.
