Hello wormsbefamily.  I understand that you are unable to get your laptop to start.



This error usually refers to the master boot record.  This part of your hard drive, it is which instructs the computer to boot from a specific partition.  In order to advise you on how to solve the problem, I will need you to let me know what version of Windows you are currently using.  Once I have this I'll provide a link explaining exactly what to do.



Nice day!

  • Replaced the Hard Drive shows in my computer on HP Pavilion m8120n Vista Home Premium

    Hello

    I replaced the second hard drive on my HP Pavilion m8120, Vista Home Premium OS due to the imminent failure.  Before that, I called HP Tech Support and I was told that I had to replace the 360 GB HD.  I bought a 1 TB HD that I was told would work in my system.  Following the instructions, I backed up all the files, installed 1 TB HD and down the system recovery.  Now I don't see the disk newly installed in the computer; However, I see it in the disk as ONLINE - not ALLOCATED management.  What must I do to see it in my computer so I can use the new drive?

    Hello

    In disk management, right click on "Unallocated space", click New Simple Volume, click Next, click Simple and then follow the instructions to complete the process - should then appear when you look under the computer.

  • Drivers XP for Pavilion m8120n

    It is a system that I have downgraded from Vista with the help of this forum a few years ago.  Do to a hard drive failure, I'm trying to reinstall everything.  Look in Device Manager, some drivers miss me are for the ethernet controller (an I got Intel closes before the end of the installation), wireless LAN, PCI device, communication controller SM Bus controller and PCI simple.  I believe that the PCI device is a modem that I don't use so don't really care in this regard.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    It was very strange, but everything works now!

    I made another copy of the Setup with SATA drivers disk and everything worked as expected.  Must have been a glitch in the first CD I burned.  Wish I would have found that a few days ago.

    Thank you for the locations of the drivers again. This was very helpful. I had completely forgotten the chipset drivers.  Now I'm babbling...

    Many congratulations,

  • Video update for m8120n card

    I have upgraded my Hp Pavilion m8120n PC.

    Here is a link to the plug on my computer

    http://h10010.www1.HP.com/wwpc/ca/en/Ho/WF06b/12132708-12133156-12133158-12133158-12133158-80230858-...

    I already updated the operating system to Windows 7 64 bit and 8 GB memory.  I'm looking to upgrade the video card then and don't mind the upgrade of the power supply to avoid overheating.

    It currently has a GeForce 7350LE, 128 MB of memory DDR, i/o Ports: DVI, S-Video, VGA

    I do not save files like photos, music, videos and documents on the pc, everything is recorded on the personal media player, to clean the PC. I use adobe photoshop and illustrator, play WoW and Second Life.

    Currently, I have an option to upgrade the video card in one of the following:

    1. 512 MB: $ 79.99

    2 DER III 1024MO $119,00

    3. the strength: 1 610 MB $149.00

     

    The specifications of my computer said that until 623 MB Total available graphics memory as allocated by Windows Vista.

    As I am now running on Windows 7 64 bit, I can go on the 623 MB? I would go with the III DER 1024 MB, but don't know if it will work for me.  And say I'm not for the 512 MB card, I notice the difference in the graphics, or would be - this small difference?

    Thank you in advance.

    Gabygab, welcome to the forum.

    The amount of video memory on the video card is not limited by the operating system.  So, you can certainly buy a card with 1 GB of memory.  This will give you a good performance increase.

    I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  These are all very good manufacturers.  The key is to stay less than 9 "long; 8.5 "would be better.  Otherwise, you may have space problems.  The map in the link I have provided may not be the card you purchase, but this is a good example of what you need.  Read the customer reviews on any card you choose.  They give you the straight scoop, manufacturer hype.  At this point, I went to the ATI/AMD cards.  ATI offers software (Catalyst Control Center) which allows you to adjust the fan speed and overclock the card if you wish.  Remember one thing, more speed equals more heat.

    The upgrade of the power supply (PSU) is a very good idea.  It would give you more choices of video cards.  Most of the cards more recent mid-level requires a minimum of 400W.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  The PSU is the backbone of the system, this is not a place to cut costs.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.

  • Windows system error - event id 12 of HAL.

    Hello

    I use a PC HP Pavilion m8120n Media Center, which has been upgraded to Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) SP1.

    Current BIOS is dated 5.09 Date 08/06/2007 revision.

    In the Windows system log, I noticed that whenever the PC goes into sleep mode (standby), it generates a HAL error with event id 12. It says low memory was damaged when going in standby mode.

    The Microsoft documentation says that it is a BIOS problem. I checked the site of HP support for a BIOS update, but found none listed. I noticed that HP offers some laptops BIOS updates to fix this.

    Is there an update available for the m8120n BIOS solve this problem?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The problem has occurred with your previous operating system?

    There is not an update of the bios posted for your PC.

    You can read this article.

    You can try to clear the CMOS memory.  Given that your PC is of 5 years which is on the life expectancy of the CMOS battery, you might consider replacing it.  It's a $4 item.

    The suggestion below is a long shot for a possible workaround if you ae not not using RAID.  If you do want to try the suggestion below, then you will have to live with the question.

    The default sata mode setting is RAID.  If change you it to AHCI then the storage option rom cannot require CMOS space. You may need to reinstall the operating system. There is a possible workaround solution to reinstall the operation.  Don't forget to backup your data. Run the MS patch. Then boot in the bios (f10 setup) and change the sata controller to ACHI mode and save the settings.  If the PC does not start, then change the setting back of the bios.

  • m8120n Pavilion Media Center: can not enter audio speakers

    Hi, I just bought a set of speakers Creative Inspire T5400 2.1 which have 3 sons. I plugged in the audio, but I get no sound. The three shots that I plug are marked side rear c/sub.  The speaker is marked simularly. The volume mixer is marked device, speakers and Applications, Internet Explorer, and the two show sound on the screen but no sound from speakers. I replaced a set of speakers that only has one wire for the computer and taking, in that it goes is marked 'out' and it will output the sound quality. What should I do to get audio for new speakers? Thanks for your help. Jim

    I did some research and I think I have the answer to my problem. The motherboard on the HP m8120n is a P5BW-Louisiana (Linden) which has a Realtek ALC885 audio configuration. Unfortunately when get you it, it says "audio integrated is not available if a sound card is installed." On this model there is no sound card but it is provided with a TV card, which I'm sure would also disable audio integrated.

    So it seems I'm stuck like Chuck. I have no immediate plans for the TV card but I'm not going to get him out because these speakers are not otherwise valuable. I'll just sell on Craig's list and get a pair of computer speakers that runs out of the output.

    Thanks for your help, Jim

  • Pavilion media center tv: M8120n

    Computer hangs after startup.  Will work for 3 or 4 minutes then the mouse and keyboard stop working.  The infrared sensor shows no more red light. This may cause to freeze the computer?

    Thank you for the additional information.

    We will discuss what is obvious.  When a computer is more than 8 years, it's a dinosaur. This means that all components could be at fault.  Imagine, running for more than 8 years with all the heat that develops every time that it runs.

    Well, I got that off my chest.  Let's go back to the next step - memory.  You must remove all modules and replace them one at a time.  Use the slot closest to the processor which should be the #1.  Start the computer to see what's happening.  It is the best way to test them.

  • m8120n with a resolution of Dell U2711 Max

    I bought a Dell U2711, tested the monitor on another system with success and get a maximum resolution of 2560 x 11440.  When plugged up to the HP with a Dual Link DVI cable, somehow I can't get 1600 x 1050.  When hooked up via a VGA cable I get 2048 x 1152.  I contacted Dell, reduced to HP itself (not much help from Dell if they tried).  I've updated the drivers for the monitor and the graphics card, Geforce 7350, nothing does.

    (Ah, FYI, I searched the forum, found nothing on this subject, my warranty is also up.)

    From another thread, it's because of the card ATI 6570, set up with an Nvidia GT 430 has solved the problem.  Don't know if this applies to me since for some reason any VGA got better resolution, as well as the HDMI Jack.  (Oh yes, I also tested the cables on another system, works very well it)

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion Media Center m8120n desktop. According to the specifications, the computer came from the factory

    GeForce 7350LE

    1 - DVI (and VGA with included adapter)
    2 S-video (and video Composite using adapter SV-CV)
    Interface: PCI Express x 16
    Maximum resolution:
    DVI (single bond capable): 1920 x 1440 @ 60 Hz with reduced shutter
    TV (S-video or Composite video): 1024 x 768 interlaced

    As stated in the specs, DVI is a unique link with a resolution of 1920 x 1440 max. It's not affecting your monitor, but 1600 x 1050 is perhaps the best compromise between the two. Please install a new graphics capable DVI (DL) double bond to support higher screen resolutions.

  • HP m8120n no Ethernet in the Device Manager and not detected

    Hey all:

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion Media Center m8120n (product sheet here) and I recently did an installion of installation clean factory, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with a DVD retail of Windows. I managed to get the drivers for almost everything, but there are some persistent problems.

    The most serious of them is Ethernet. I can't find drivers ethernet for this machine, even after the update of Windows running several times, no hardware drivers have been found. The ethernet controller/port is not still appear in Device Manager at all!

    I tried to use the driver for this calculation pager on the HP support site, but there is no mention of all the Ethernet/LAN drivers at all.

    I read that sometimes it is important to update the chipset first driver in order to get the job of ethernet. Since HP provides no chipset driver, I decided to try updating the chipset 8120n with theutility to update Intel drivers Intel's Support page.  I have updated to version 9.4.0.1017, once the Web page has scanned my system. However, even after the update the chipset and Windows restarts, I have still no Ethernet at all.

    Depending on the product specifications page, under the section network, the computer uses a controller Ethernet Intel 82566DC. However, after trying to install the driver for the Intel 82566DC since the Intel, the installer website told me that no network controller Intel were present on the system.

    What is really worrying, is that not only does the Device Manager does not even see an Ethernet controller, but the Intel drivers update utility didn't recognize it under the section "Wired" after that the latter had analyzed my computer. Ethernet controller also does not appear under system information.

    I'm starting to wonder if it is a hardware issue and not a driver problem at all! The Ethernet port may be damaged or does not work for Windows do not install the drivers, or even recognize it.

    Does anyone have advice or steps I could take to rule the hardware problem and find a driver that works for my installation of Windows 7 on this computer?

    "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -Issac Asimov, from its roman Foundation.

    Good new! It worked! It was really the BIOS that was causing the problem.

    On the Advanced Settings tab, there is an entry called Onboard LAN off, just like the desktop I have to work!

    After booting, Windows installed the drivers for it right away, and now I get to enjoy this sweet Gigabit speed on my network!

    I'm so happy that it was not a hardware problem, and that it was a simple change to the configuration of the BIOS.

    Thanks for all your help!

    I'm as resolved marker.

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports.
