Recently Ive been having problems with my laptop, specifically booting it up. What happens is the screen remains black/off completely, the cd-rom starts to spin and all the lights come on. A few seconds after this all the lights black out, the fan shuts down and the computer makes a noise like it was rebooted. The screen never turns on and the computer just hangs at this point. Therefore I cant even get into the bios to mess with settings and since its an HP computer it has no recovery discs (they decided it would be smarter to put all the recovery stuff on its own hard drive petition.
So the only way I can get to any screens or boot settings is to start the computer as a DVD player. For some reason that works without a hitch. However, you cant get to windows when its in DVD mode. Sometimes after starting it as a DVD player and resetting the boot options will allow me to start the computer.
So anyway, I am not extremely hardware smart and I am really desperate to get this fixed. I have not tried formatting the computer yet, I plan to do that in a few days, but Im not certain it will help as it seems like its a booting problem. |
