Pavilion Elite m9452p: Flying Blind with a HP Pavilion Elite m9452p - no video at all - HELP!
It is a Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor Intel PC with 8 GB of RAM and 750 GB drive HARD + 1 TB back up drive running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (it came with Vista 64-bit home edition Premium, but updated for win 7 just now).
It has always worked perfectly, but last week there was no video at all when I turned it on. The monitor says 'No Signal' on an otherwise black screen when turned on.
HDD lights indicate activity and I can hear readers spinning and the LEDs for the DVD and the wireless signal light up as well. In addition, ports Ethernet led Flash and show activity, as does the DVD player if I put a disc, but no video at all.
I did the following to try to resolve this problem:
1. I checked the monitor I was using is working;
2. I always connected this PC to another monitor DVI to work with no luck.
3. I have connected the PC to a working VGA monitor with no luck.
4. I connect the VGA monitor to the VGA port, integrated with no luck.
5.i tried to boot in the BIOS, but there again, no video is not sure if it goes to BIOS or not;
6. I have read somewhere that the built-in VGA port will not work if a video card is present, so I removed the video card of exisitng and connected to the VGA integrated with no luck;
7. I bought a replacement video card (it came with a MSI V240 500 MB PCIex16 card and got a card XFX Radeon HD 5450 1 GB PCI ex16); I installed the new card and tried again without success;
8. I don't remember if this PC was set to beep on the POST before he always started quickly and without problems. Now that I'm looking for any beeps, I don't hear everything but yet once, can't remember if it still beep before;
9. looks like it's a hardware problem, but I also tried to boot from a drive of W7 64 Bit repair, but even once, no video so don't know if it works.
The last thing I remember having seen it was a Windows Update I think to include an optional update to the video driver. I don't remember if I acdcpeted that one or not, but it seems to me that the drivers for the MSI card (nVidia, GE Force pilots I think) that does not correspond with an AMD Radeon graphics card drivers - this is why I opted to get the Radeon card).
I have not tested the original map, mainly because I don't have any PC with which test (I have a Core 2 Duo Pc with a PCI slot ex but not an ex16 PCI card. I don't know if this card would be retro-compatible with this PC or not).
I vaguely recall disabling the onboard VGA in the BIOS, but do not remember if it is with this PC or another.
I hope someone has a way to put video on so I can uninstall all recent drivers or updates that may have caused this (or I can enable VGA integrated in the BIOS).
I sure hope the MoBo is not messed up (it does not fuel upward hard drives, the DVD player and the fans, etc.) but with no video, it is difficult to know what is happening.
Help!
OK - SOLVED!
After re-reading my post, I realized that if the BIOS for the integrated video card setting had actually been changed, I could re - put these default settings by resetting the CMOS.
I had not tried to clear the CMOS by the cavaliers to the MoBo, so I'm the manual MoBo and I cleared the CMOs (which would reset the BIOS to factory settings). I restarted the PC and voila! I now have the video!
Sometimes the simplest things will solve the whole problem!
I felt bad that I couldn't solve this problem, as I can usually solve everything that came out on any of my systems, but here I answer my questin oiwn and solved the problem - I hope this will help others too!

25xi Pavilion: Pavilion 25xi cannot find video sources! Help!
My monitor of 25xi Pavilion serves me for almost a year now, but rather all at once, a serious issue was raised.
I was helping a friend fix a few problems with his HP 2511 x, being understood that we had similar monitors, and I had exchanged with his computer monitors. My flag has acted very well on my friends computer, whereas he knew that his monitor is having problems. But when it came time to return my monitor on his computer that deserves it, it now seems to be stuck searching through video signals before settling on the mode finially 'sleep'. My monitor worked perfectly previously.
After some tests, I noticed that when it is plugged into HDMI and VGA, the monitor seems to linger to seconds about 2 or more before moving on. I could not reset to factory settings because the monitor needs to find a source before doing so. Although, I have reset the screen using my friend's computer.
My monitor had been not a single scratch since I bought it, and all ports appear to be functional, clean and intact. Strangely, no signal at all can seem to get to my monitor at the moment.
any help would be appreciated!

My hp pavilion elite hpe-204f video does not work
My hp pavilion elite hpe-204f video does not work so I replaced it with another video card that worked. After installing the card and start the system I saw the video on my monitor. Great! I need to replace my video card. No problem.
Afer by purchasing and installing a new video card, I have no video. I put a new one in another computer. This works. I put the video card which worked yesterday... that did not work.
Then, I put the original video card that I thought that did not work on another computer and Yes... it worked.
Should I assume that I have a bad graphical location on the motherboard? If so, short of buying the same motherboard is there anything else I can do?
Thank you very much for the research.
Hello
The integrated video processor still works when the video card is removed? If Yes, then try this memory bootable Diagnostics CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn the disk using Imgburn.
If the above is successful, then re - install the map graphic and clear the CMOS.
Another thing to try:
A good cable video know.
A known good monitor.

I work with dreamweaver cs6 running on Apple Mavericks.
The site definition window shows all different fields by opening. I have to click blind with the mouse cursor in this window until the fields appear.
It is somehow very annoying to complete the connection to the server and all the other things.
Is there a solution?
If this is the case, I think that it is perhaps a good idea to uninstall Dreamweaver. Before you reinstall, make sure that your personal configuration file has been deleted (see reinstalling Dreamweaver (or the extensions Manager) fails to solve problems). You should then have a completely clean copy of Dreamweaver has again the default settings of the program.

I hope someone can help here?
I have a desktop HP Pavilion p6-2054uk (Windows 7 64 bit - i5, 3.00 Ghz - 6 GB of RAM) that I bought in 2012 and especially use of HP products.
By starting my PC the other day, it will not start and crashes on the HP splash screen. When you press ESC, F10 and F1 and F8, it simply changes the screen to a black screen with 7 lines of text giving the details of my PC base on this subject. It should give me other optins at this stage, but does not work.
The HP Pavilion p6-2054uk hard drive does not start even another hard drive OS I've tried from another computer with Windows 7 64 bit on it. Troubleshooting a few others, I even tried a fresh new hard drive in it with a new copy of Windows 7 64 bit to install into the CD Rom and it will not yet go through the HP start - that is abnormal screen since usually, it detects the Windows CD and install. Furthermore, fans in the PC work normal, as the eject the power of the PC CD ROM light is on too. I tried all the three available inside power cables and tried diferent nine cables sata/data and another monitor entry too, all to nothing done.
The hard drive that was in the HP Pavilion p6-2054uk when he stopped to start up is fully accessible when placed in the other machine I have. Therefore, it is still operational.
The notable thing only I did in the days before it were installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 but I do not think that it would cause a major problem like this, noting also that another hard disk OS (without Creative Suite 6 is installed) and a new facility wouldn't start either. Therefore, I am afraid a harware issue any.
What could be going on here?
Side for the second or 2 of optimism about the usual boot the PC normally makes noises, it looks like he died immediately after, suspended on the HP screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there @dougaljoe,
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your computer does not start and it is indeed suspended at the HP logo even with a different hard disk (with configured operating system) installed. I'm happy to help you with this.
I suggest that you perform all hardware diagnostics in the BIOS/UEFI. Please also refer to the following, as it covers a range of start-up problems, and if you follow the symptoms you experience should be useful. It includes information on diagnosis. Computers HP - computer won't start (Windows 7)
According to you it might just be something easily replaceable, or something more simple to set, or in a worst case something requiring maintenance. If the worst case rears its ugly head, then try a hotline. Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and call HP. If you do not live in the United States / Canada, please click on the link below to get contact information for your region. http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html If all goes well, he will not come to that, but it is preferable to have the information if necessary.

Hello. Maybe it's a software or a hardware failure, then run the diagnosis of ePSA on hardware. It is normal to have no audio in safe mode.
I had a similar problem a few months ago due to the failure of one of my modules of RAM.
