  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1260t CTO: stuck at the screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom

    I unplugged the graphics card to clean dust. After that I connected everything again, he stuck to the blue screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom. If I press ESC at the beginning, it will go to a black screen and it will show the basic information of the computer (information about the processor and memory). It also show this black screen, "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom and it will show "Start menu" in the lower right corner. If I press F8 at the beginning, it's going to be the same black screen, but it does not "Start menu" show in the lower right. If I press F10 at the beginning, it will go to the same black screen, and it will show "setup" in the lower right. Can someone help me solve this problem? And thank you very much!

    So I suggest to look at the following and try to 'Clear the CMOS settings' as described at the bottom of the page: HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, IPISB-CH2 (Chicago).  Then see if there is no change at all.  If there is no improvement, then use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp, fill in the form, create a folder for your question and then use the information to contact HP.

  • HP Pavilion - "press ESC for Boot Menu" on initialize to top

    Hello

    I have a Pavillion g6 laptop running Windows 7.

    I ran into a problem when booting the computer displays the message "Press the ESC key for startup menu" momentarily, the screen goes black, and this message again.  No HP logo ever, just this message appears.

    I am able to access the HP Boot Menu and I ran across each of the diagnostic tests, and all of them have passed (battery, memory, HARD drive, established and start-up). I also reset the BIOS to its original settings. It is said that there is no update for the BIOS and no versions prior to a restore to.

    I have not installed, changed or deleted in any material.

    I tried to do a hard reset (power remove battery and hold it for 15 seconds). Who did nothing.

    Finally, the Windows recovery option brings back me right of the black screen where it asks to press the ESC key.

    My questions:

    -What are the precise diagnostic tests indicating that the memory, HARD drive and battery are fine? If they pass these tests, it excludes these items as being the problem?

    -What other things could be the cause?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Other information to help diagnose this, let me know.

    Hi Kyledow,

    I read your message. You can try first of all as a result of this document on the boot configuration order. That this would take effect until Windows has started and would not change on the system restore.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    The diagnostics are very reliable. Make sure you have removed all external USB devices before all the steps.

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion dv7: Press esc at the startup problem

    I get the Press esc for boot menu message and it crashes it whenever I try to start. I can make it work if I remove the battery and hold down the button to start for 10 seconds or more. I know that it is supposed to discharge the static electricity while doing this, but what else who don't.

    I'm shocked that a seemingly independent problem could cause such a problem but after swapping of batteries for laptops with a friends same battery, my laptop has no start-up problems. I tried several times and no problems. It seemed to be too quickly into the routine of starting for something like that, but I guess that my problem is solved.

  • In the start-up procedure, how can I remove "press ESC to access the Start Menu" when the machine hangs at the HP logo screen?

    Hello

    I am running 64 Win7HP on a laptop HP dv3, processor Core 2 Duo 4 GB DDR2 Ram, 320 GB HD, just as it came out of the box when purchased directly from HP replaced EXCEPT Vista OS with 64bits Win7HP.  Machine worked fine until the LAST update of Windows, where during the reboot, I got to the HP logo screen and in the lower left corner of the screen appeared the statement (for THE FIRST TIME) "Press ESC for the Start Menu."  Pressing Esc translates into another command "press Esc...".  Break. " When you press ESC, you get a black screen until the machine goes to sleep UNLESS you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. If you press the 3 key combo, it will continue to start and brings you to the screen of your password for access and then operate nicely, until you turn off the system. So, how can I get rid of the superfluous instructions and get this thing here where he turns and goes directly to the screen of password without intermediate steps?  Restore points are long since gone for immediate access to the front last Win Update.
    The answer may be simple, but until now it has escaped my low range.  Any help is appreciated.

  • HP ENVY 14-1000 CTO Notebook: fact ENVY 14 t - 1000 CTO (2010) have UEFI firmware?

    This model (from worms 2010) he UEFI firmware? I don't see any indication that it made, with Windows, information system, the Mode "BIOS" is "legacy". I do not see switches to BIOS legacy in BIOS emulation is set up.

    But this would be the case of paranoia, that there no UEFI firmware, but I did it is legacy emulation mode continuously or something?

    Confusingly, the Web site offers an enigmatic named "HP update BIOS UEFI." Just an update (which I was not able to install) it changes from one thing to another?

    It was an interesting experience.

    He was able to start the "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)," How about that?

    So, the answer is that it can start binary EFI, but there must be another reason that my operating system is not booting in this way.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.  Follow the procedure on Page 59 of your Interview Guide & Service to remove the RTC battery.  When finished, press and hold power for 30 seconds and then leave the laptop for 10 minutes.  Reinsert the RTC battery, replace lids etc., reinsert the battery, plug in the AC adapter and try to start the laptop.

    If the above does not help, shut down the laptop again.  Try typing away to f10 you start the laptop to see if it will enter the bios menu.  If so, under the Advanced or the Diagnostic tab, you will find the possibility to run tests on the hard drive and memory.  Post back with the details of any error message.

  • How can I install windows7 alongside windows 8 on a pc of UEFI firmware

    I've been a fan of windows8, but now I just can tolerate more. I find myself posting several times on the forum because I bought a pc brand new windows8 in June 2013. Windows8 is a cool OS but I can't take more with the problems, he gave me. I find myself punching my pc because of the anger and closing the lid really hard because I hate windows8 performance.

    First question:

    My wireless lan driver is horrible. I can't download large files on my pc because my computer disconnects every 10 minutes after I connect to a wireless network.

    Second question:

    My mouse sucks. I was a big presentation in my school and the next thing I knew was that my mouse had disappeared from the screen. It's really annoying because I had to reinstall the drivers, then restart the computer on a projection screen. This happens often and it is one of the reasons why I want windows7 on a partition.

    Third question:

    Most of my keys on the keyboard still stop sometimes. Most of the letters or homework, I type on my laptop must be checked several times before submitting it.

    I tried to install windows7 on my pc on a different partition, but it simply doesn't. I know that its to cause of UEFI firmware and I have put it in legacy mode, but my windows8 will not start when I do this. I have seen and read a lot of posts, but it doesn't seem to work. At one time I tried to install mac that wasn't a good idea.

    How can I install Windows7 alongside windows8

    PS: I love windows8, but I can't use this operating system more at school because it bothers me a lot.

    If you keep the computer abuse, you have nothing to use or reinstall Windows 7 on. Treat the system with the best care.

    Are you sure that most of your problems with Windows 8 is not related to:

    1 driver with your network card problem?

    2 have you tried to connect to the Internet with a wired connection to see if the problem persists?

    3. have you checked for Mouse/touchpad update the drivers from the manufacturers Web site?

    4. it looks like the issue with the keyboard and all the problems, may be chipset related, you can also consult the manufacturer of your laptop site for driver chipset update.

    5. considering that your system was manufactured in June of 2013, it probably came with Windows 7, Windows 8 No, you would of course, was given a free upgrade to Windows 8 depending on the date of purchase.
