Hello my name is Angel and I have had my Hp Pavilion Dv2000 series model dv2120us for over two year. It has given me trouble in the past but nothing I couldn't solve, till now.
Yesterday my aunt gave me a hp battery that fit my model computer. She had found it at work. That night I put the battery into my laptop removing the old battery (works fine) and let it charge up over night. This morning I unplugged the laptop and started the it up. Everything started up well and it had just gotten to the point were your active desktop loads then it shut down unexpectedly. At this point I knew the battery would not hold a charge so I switched it out for my old battery and processed to start up my laptop again.
Now here is were the problem starts. My computer will power on ,turn on all the lights (wifi,power,etc), but then dirctly after the HP screen will take me to a screen that says.
" We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent Software or hardware change might have caused this...If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure..."
Along with that it give me 5 choices
1. Safe Mode
2. Safe Mode with Networking
3. Safe Mode with Command Prompt
4. Last Know good configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
5. Start windows normally

I have picked each and everyone one of the options. With the first 3 choices it will try to start in Safe Mode. The screen fills up with files being loaded and then it will quickly flash a Blue Screen and then load the HP logo over and send me back to the choices.
With the last two choices(4&5) it will show the Microsoft Windows XP screen and a loading bar but then again it will quickly flash a Blue Screen with text.The time between the blue screen and the computer resarting back to the HP logo screen and then again to the start up options is so fast that I'm unable to read what it says.
I have been very discouraged by this and have failed to find anything on google to troubleshoot. Hoping someone here might be able to help me.

- Angel

PS- I was thinking some internal hardware may have been damaged by the faulty battery.
