HP Pavilion 15 OS/Software :: SleekBook Won't Display Boot Menu With USB - Restarts Continuously

Sep 24, 2013

I have an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 (Model: 15-b022es) in which i'm tryig to install Linux. Since the day I bought it, I've been unable to boot anything directly through USB. I've searched a lot on this topic, and the usual causes are Boot devices order, Secure boot or Legacy Support options. That is certainly not the case, since I have tried all possible combinations. In fact, the exact symptoms that my laptop exhibits aren't described anywhere I've found. This being:
 
If I insert an USB drive in any port of the laptop, it renders the computer completely unable to boot. It's not that it freezes, it restarts again and again, but never goes beyound a black screen and making some HDD sounds (usual boot up sounds, nothing weird). Within this state, with the USB still inserted, I can access the BIOS configuration by pressing F10, but can not access boot devices menu (usually available at F9), because pressing F9 will just cause a new reboot.
 
In the past I accessed the boot menu by not inserting any USB and then pressing F9, then I entered the USB, entered and left some random folder to force refresh the display (and so show the USB), and finally selected my USB. This is a bit hacky, and I can no longer apply this solution, since my HDD is completely erased now and there is no folder I can enter to refresh the screen and display the usb drive.
 
Now the thing is: I can't manage to install any operating system back into my laptop if I can't boot from USB, so how can I do that? Right now all I get are continuous resets of the machine before even getting to the boot menu. And what is the cause for all those reset?

Sony :: Vista Restarts On First Cold Boot

Apr 9, 2009

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ483N with Windows Vista Business Edition SP1. For some reason, everytime i first boot up my laptop Vista will automatically restart with no error messages whatsoever.

I disabled the automatic restart option in vista and the same thing happens. However, once it's done the initial restart everything works normally and therefore i dont think it has anything to do with over-heating. I used to have windows xp pro sp3 and this did not happen

Dell XPS 17 L702X :: One Time Boot Menu

Feb 22, 2013

I have a XPS 17(L702X) with Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit and am in the middle of a Dell support issue regarding the Nvidia graphics card.

Dell support have requsted I run diagnostics from the "one time boot menu" (I have run this before on other laptops but my problem here is.

Dell supports says tells me  "Immediately press the F12  key once every second until ?Preparing one-time boot menu?, Shows in the upper right corner of the screen."

However all I get is "Boot Menu" (With options underneath) in the centre of the screen. Is this the same thing?

HP Pavilion 17-f114dx Display :: No Desktop After Boot Up And Log In

Jan 22, 2015

I have owned my new HP Pavilion 17 17-f114dx for only a month and it has worked great up to today.  When I start it, it now takes slightly longer to boot up and log in.  When I log in, I should see my desktop, but instead, I get a blank screen.  I am able to see my cursor.  I pressed control alt delete to see if anything looked abnormal and I am able to get to my task manager.  Things looked fine to me.  I am also able to right click a process and select "show location in folder" by doing this, it does bring up the folder.  I can navigate to my internet browser from there, and still get online to post this, but my desktop is not there. 

I have not installed any new hardware.  The only software changes that I made were an installation of a game and I tried to update my version of Adobe Flash Player which was unsuccessful for some reason. I have tried doing a hard reset twice with no luck and also tried plugging it into my TV and nothing has worked.

1. ubuntu
2. PCI LAN: Atheros Boot Agent

Dell :: Latitude E5510 Won't Load Past Boot Menu

Apr 25, 2012

I own a Dell Latitude E5510.  I *love* this laptop.

However, today I started having a problem with it.  The laptop turned off suddenly.  When I went to turn it back on, it began to load as usual with the following things on the screen:

1. the circular logo in the center of the screen.

2. the "press f12 for boot menu" thing in the top right corner.

3.  the blue loading bar beneath the circular logo in the center.

What happens is the blue bar fills up, but then the screen goes black.   It doesn't just instantly go black though.  It starts from the top of the screen and moves to the bottom.  It does the same thing when I press f12 to get into the boot menu.

HP Envy TS M6 SleekBook Display :: Touch Screen Stopped Working

Sep 28, 2014

Laptop is only 9 months old.  I did all of the updates and then my touchscreen stopped working - that was 4 days ago.  Today I did a system restore to the point before the 1st critical update (9/24/14).  It still does not work.  Did it corrupt my driver?  And if so, what is the name of the driver?  How can I restore the touch screen...
 
Product:  EOLO6UA#ABA
System:  x64
Processor:  AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics

I just received a refurbished HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k125dx Sleekbook. I can't set a resolution higher than 1366 x 768 though according to specs the native resolution is 1920 x 1080. I updated the  Intel HD graphic driver and the BIOS but that did not work. Did HP possibly reinstall a wrong display as part of the refurbish?

Dell XPS L502x :: Laptop Won't Boot / Fan Turns On / Spinning Continuously And Emitting Cold Wind

Sep 17, 2014

So I broke my laptop (xps l502x) while traveling. The hinges were broken so I couldn't open or close the lid. Dell has stopped supporting this model so I had to get my own parts and replace it.

After replacing, I realized that the screen turns on but is white and the motherboard beeps 8 times continually. I realized that was an issue with the lcd connector. I tried to fix the connection. Now the laptop turned on, booted. But I couldn't see anything on the screen. The screen was lit but displayed nothing, everything was black. Then I removed the lcd connector and put it back again. This time the laptop doesn't even turn on but fan turns on with a loud spinning sound and emits cold air continuously.

HP SleekBook TS 14 Display :: Windows 8 Lock Screen And Touchpad Unresponsive At Power Up

My Pavilion TS 14 Sleekbook running Windows 8 did two updates today that required restart for both. I don't know what the updates were, I have it set to autoload important updates. When I tried to "flip" my lock screen to enter my password to open, the screen did nothing but show energy waves around my fingertip. Used the keyboard to open to password page. Tried to pull up touch screen keyboard, nothing. Used regular keyboard to type in password and then the touchscreen works fine.
