Re: HP Pavilion a6152n desktop PC does not start

My HP a615n tries to start, the fan on the motherboard starts to turn, then stops, then it tries to start again and stops again. I replaced the power supply and the same thing happens. Any ideas?

Unplug the unit.

Locate the CMOS battery silver quarter size in its door-

Remove the battery (.) Use your fingernails or a pair of tweezers to remove the CMOS battery. Gently lift the metal tab. It is a low metal and can break easily. Don't lift the tab all the way or remove it. Take the tweezers or a nail and place it under the battery in the case. Lift gently to and pull)

Locate the jumper CLRCMOS or CLRRTC. There will be a jumper plastic that is in position 1-2.  (the rider will be near the battery holder).

Put the jumper in position 2-3

Press and hold the button for 10 seconds or more

leave the jumper in position 2-3 for about ten to fifteen minutes.

Put the jumper in position 1-2 (it's the default position)

replace the CMOS battery in his quiver

Press and hold the button for a few seconds

That's all!

You have cleared the CMOS memory

Now you can close the case and plug the power in.

You will need to go into the BIOS (F10 at startup) and set the time and date.

Now restart your PC

Please post your results here.

Kind regards

  • Vostro 200 desktop computer does not start

    Hi all, our company has an old desk, Vostro 200, which works very well for a few years.  A day after the cleaning, the machine does not start with the amber light.  Fans stop, even the power supply fan stops.

    I tried:

    1. using a different power supply, it's the same thing.

    2. using another CPU, it's the same thing.

    After I unplug power 4 pin for the processor, fans start working and it seems normal but show nothing.

    I also tried out the case from the jury and put it back, in order to avoid any shortened with the case.  It does not work.

    What is the failure of the motherboard? I had a copper shortcut or circuit on the map?

    Although it is an old computer, but we do not produce a bin with other parts in good condition.

    Thank you.

    One last thing is the license Windows XP OEM's sucks it as well as the motherboard has failed because the license is listed in the BIOS?  Thank you.

    CECTT

    Thanks Bev

    1. After spending the Green and black cables, the situation is the same: the fans stop with power of CPU 4 pin; fans of work without power CPU 4 pin.

    2. after disconnecting devices PCI/video /, the situation is the same, still no beep.

    3. after remove the memory, the situation is the same.

    After checking the CPU socket, I put that there could be some not vertical pegs.  Is it possible that I folded a few pins so that it didn't?

    Thank you

    CECTT

    Yes, it is possible, the processor installed correctly, for more information, go to pages 152 to 155 of the owner's manual, if the LGA 775 is damaged, this may require a motherboard replacement.

    https://www.Amazon.com/Dell-motherboard-Inspiron-systems-compatible/DP/B003CO0WQS

    The Vostro 200 was built with two different systemboards.

    Motherboards should have engraved on it model number.

    If she says G33M02, then it only supports Core 2 Duo processors.

    If it says G33M03 then it supports Core 2 Duo and Core 2 quad cores processors.

    What are the OEM sSpec numbers and processor that was installed as a replacement?

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005554.html

    Have you tried to reinstall the original OEM processor?

    In addition, the procedure is usually to Flash the BIOS to the latest version, before the upgrade of the Vostro 200 processor.

  • Pavilion dv-6 3216 does not start

    I'm trying to upgrade my Pavilion dv-6 3216 with a SSD 240G PNY. First thing I did was to create a set of system restore disks. Then I swapped the mechanical original 320G with the SSD drive.

    Then, I started the system using the recovery disk and used the Recovery Manager to restore the system to the SSD. The process went through all 7 DVD without error. At the end a message came to remove any recovery media while the system complete the recovery process.

    After clicking 'continue' the computer restarted, but he no more than a black screen with a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper left corner. I waited at least 30 minutes, nothing else has happened. I turned off the computer and restarted but it's the same thing. I went into the Boot Manager to ensure that the system was booting from the internal drive and got the same black screen.

    I gave the original mechanical hard drive and start Windows 7 system as before. I handed the SSD into the computer and went through the recovery process a second time. Same result - just a black screen with the blinking cursor.

    I ran diagnostics on the memory and hard drive and they both pass.

    I took the SSD and put it in a box external USB drive and connected to my office. My office can see all the files/folders the recovery process was copied on the SSD drive. Device Manager identifies the primary partition and active.

    A ran a scan of disk on the SSD in my office and it shows the disc to be in good health.

    So, what gives? Is there a compatibility issue with the SSD? I went into the BIOS but did not find any configuration/settings for hard drives. Is there a requirement for the destination drive of recovery to the brand/ability as well as the original?

    Is it possible that the recovery disks are corrupt? It does not seem that so much as there is no problems/errors during the process of creation or the restore process. I would try to create a bootable USB key or another game but the Recovery Manager limit the creative process to 1.

    Does anyone else has encountered this problem after replacing their hard drive, either with another mechanical drive or SSD?

    Hello Calgary_BMW,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you have replaced your 360 Go drive (5400 RPM) with a SSD 240 GB and after running the system recovery, are unable to start Windows. It is probably the case because the recovery media is to install the bootloader on the SSD drive even as it was on the HARD drive; pointing the bootloader to another source, which would explain the blank screen and a blinking cursor. If this is the case, that the recovery media won't work, then we are quite limited with options.

    Option 1: Purchase a copy of Windows and run a complete Windows installation, which must recreate the bootloader on the SSD and the start of your player. After the installation of Windows, you should be able to run your media recovery and restore of your software.

    Option 2: Cloning the mechanical drive of the SSD. This option requires you to connect both the 5400 RPM drive HARD and the SSD at the same time. Your laptop has only support for a SATA connection, so this will require the use of another PC with multi-SATA (any desktop PC) entry. There are a large number of suppliers who provide software to clone the disks, all these can be easily found with a simple Google search.

    I would like to know how it works for you.

  • HP Pavilion P6-2496ea: Pc does not start, no startup screen is

    Hello
    I have a HP Pavilion with D7B29EA #ABU product number and model number P6-2496ea.

    I tried to run a repair on a HARD disk that was connected externally, it was taking too long so I cancelled the process and rebooted my PC.

    The reboot took much too long, so I forced shut down the system. Then I tried to turn on my PC, but it does not reach the power upward.

    When I tried to turn on my PC, I noticed the following:
    -no screen, just a screen black (I tried different video output on the PC, but with the same result, no video)
    -LED 'on' which starts as amber and then turns to blue flashes only on amber.
    -by turning the HARD drive and the fans are running.

    I tried to reset the BIOS to factory settings, but not joy.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all

    After some research, I came to a conclusion that the above symptoms were caused due to a corrupt BIOS.

    I run a BIOS reset procedure several times but only started to notice results after 24 hours a BIOS reset.

    Reset method for those who do not know the BIOS, please see the steps below:

    1 turn off the machine.

    2 - remove all the USB connections of the machine (the keyaboard dongle and mouse apartment)

    3 - Unplug the power to the system.

    4 - with the cable disconnected, amd press hold the power button on your machine for 3-5 seconds.

    5 - Remove the battery from the motherboard BIOS.

    6. remove the jumper from pins 1-2 amd put on pins 3-5 (for HP Pavilion p6-2496ea, for other models please refer to the manual of the motherboard).

    7. usually you leave the machine in this State for 15-20 minutes and then follow the rest of the instructions. If a reset of 20 minutes work try a reset 8 or 24 hours (leaving the machine with the reset jumper on).

    8 - Mount the batery.

    9. remove the jumper to reset the pins and fit the default PIN, 1-2.

    10-card sector in the system.

    11. turn on the machine, you should have a boot system.

    I hope the above helps you guys, it certainly worked train me.

    Good luck.

    LED light is orange by the AC adapter cord but other than nothing. Tried to remove the battery, running only on the AC adapter / CC and other obvious solutions, but still nothing. What should I do? The bloomin' thing is new, so I doubt that something wrong with cord or battarey West.

  • HP Pavilion TS Sleekbook 14: HP Pavilion TS Sleekbook 14 does not start

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 TS that simply no longer starts.  The last time that I used it, I had installed an antivirus (Avira) on this subject. Now, when I try to boot, it freezes on the password screen. Or it starts but does not load anything. All the advanced recovery options have failed. I tried the system restore and even tried to factory reset it because all my files are saved in LV, nothing works. Every time I try these recovery options, he encounters an error and restarts. Thus the cycle starts again. I ran a test system expanded on it, but she encounters an error on check Optomised DST

  • Pavilion DV6-2140ED: Pavilion DV6: 10 Windows does not start after the upgrade memory (4 GB-> 8 GB)

    After I upgraded the RAM in my HP DV6 from 4 GB to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB Kingston KTA-MB1333 / 4G), Windows no longer starts. I get a blue screen and it keeps restarting.

    I think that the memory specifications are similar to the Samsung M471B5673EH1-CH9 original memory: Ghz 1333, non - ecc, 1.5 volts, case latency 9 etc.etc.

    It's a laptop DV6-2140ED HP with a processor Intel i5 - 430 m and Intel mobile chipset HM55.

    The bios detects 8 GB and it also passes the check/test of memory. As far as I know that I have also installed the latest bios firmware: F.1D. Reinstall my Windows 10 64 bit does not work either: with 8 GB I also get blue screens, after I try to boot my Windows 10 bootable USB drive.

    I read other people having the same problem, but I have not read a solution yet. What can we do about it?

    Hello:

    Please see this discussion.  You buy a very specific memory for any HP laptop with Mobile Intel 5 series chipset.

  • H9-1150 Pavilion: H9-1150 PC does not start with WIndows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with ASUS 960 GTX card.

    I've seen others have posted simular questions, but I thought id repost this even in the case where there is more help.  I have the Elite Phönix Pavalion h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  and the bios HP 7.07 (seems no possible to upgrade the bios).

    As others have had I install the new graphics card, the 960 Asus GTX card that came out last month and the system start gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds and then it goes to a screen that is black with a blinking cursor and nothing else happens. cannot enter bios or settings for HP...

    I tried to disable UEFI boot devices in bios settings and enable only the legacy devices (after him swinging back on my original card, then move on to the new card), but it still gives 3 beeps after the start.   However, I was able to get into windows. Although I think that this may be due to turn off the computer with the old card in without power first. and after 3 beeps (which always blocks you on the bios menu) sometimes it appears the window where you can select the safe mode or normal mode... as sometimes happens if you start your computer with windows 7 If you had just it off without turning off power or something.  There, I can get into windows and run the PC and graphics card without problem, it's just when I try to start the problem happens.

    and suppor HP no. is NOT a fault of the card itself. As much before. I bought an EVGA card earlier a GTX 780 and SAME problem happened (although I have not tried to remove it then devices boot UEFI)...

    There is a problem of spacific with HP computers that seem to lock 'new' start-up equipment.

    Honestly not be blunted. I really think it's bad what I read somewhere that even if HP would never say it they do it on purpose to prevent people ruin of guarantee or any "liabity' that occur by people any other hardware on HP computers inventory installation

    makes no since to me.  the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact his race he now once I was able to circumvent the blocking (temporarily) check markers, everyhting is fine tracks of card 3 times faster then old (that should be the case).

    But it's just this block as HP for some reason any installed on their bios/cards mothers is the question.

    Good news is I got it from amazon and I have about a month, until I return. which I think this time I'll make.  to see if something pops up in a month or something.

    It's the ONLY solution, it seems that HP has officially to deactivate start secure Windows 8

    but this isn't a computer of windows 8. and I guess even if install windows 8. the issue wouldn't disappear because given that its an older bios, there is no way to have a secure boot option to delete?

    HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a straight answer on this subject.  Is it ALL WAY to solve this problem? Can you not just do an older BIOS update to allow this? Or do you simply not want to worry about old PCs?

    anyway I think that it is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise MUST run on demand

    It's a PCI express 16 x slot card that is 3.0

    Here are the specifications of deetailed according to the guidelines of your page

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03273835

    the card SHOULD WORK fine.  I thought the GTX 780 was a little too much for the PC as he had more then a six pin port and needed a little more power, so at first I thought it was the question. so I returned it. and has now got this new card.

    However, the ASUS GTX 960 map requires the SAME power that the card GTX 550 it by default and the SAME SIX connector

    so it SHOULD work.

    and performance tests indicate that it FACT it's just stupid... bios that asks the question.

    I'm afraid to turn off the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows starts normally after you turn off the startup UEPI devvices because he cannot start properly...

    HP you are one of the largest suppliers of computers you know technology what are YOUR computers.  WHY cant you give us a direct awnser on this.

    ITS VERY frustrating

    and to be honest if I can't solve this problem, I am very hestient never buy another product HP if their spacifically computers have this new method of hardware locking.

    because I have the card now works on my pc, it runs great! 3 times as fast as it should! and yet, I know in the back of my mind, if I can't understand this bad likely issue just to send it back... less I have time.

    and for now, I did not have money to buy a new pc. This PC is JUST perfect for what I need for now another card then you want a little better...

    He shoudnt be as much hassle there?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You need update the BIOS that is listed under Windows 8 to support the new graphics.   You must upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8, you can install the update to the BIOS.  While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way.  8 BIOS version is your best chance to get the latest graphics cards to work.

    You can Windows 8 Enterprise 90 days trial.

    If you decide to install W8, then create external recovery HP Media and backup your data before doing anything.

    The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Maybe you are looking for
