Start up Agro

Big Boy J · 10-05-2009, 01:27 PM

I have my daughters laptop and it has problems when starting. It opperates on X and is a H Pavillion dv2000. When it starts a black and white HP window appears with Press f10 to enter setup or press f11 to system recovery. It then changes to a dos screen with safe mode, safe mode with networking. safe mode with command prompt, last known Gppd confirguration or normal startup.

Selecting any of these gets me nowhere the thing just goes round in circles. any Ideas as to how I may be able to resolve my problem and get it working again?

Many Thanks
BBJ

1. Remove battery
2. Remove AC power
3. Remove and reseat your RAM modules.
4. Replace yor RAM modules
5. Hold down your power button for 1 minute
6. Replace your AC power (not battery) and turn on.

This is called a hard reset. If it works COOL, then replace your battery. If not then we will try something else. Good luck.

Please post back.
