HP Pavilion 15-e011nr OS/Software :: Upgrade To Win 8.1 - Cannot Reboot And Get To The Desktop
Mar 17, 2014
I have upgraded from win8 to win8.1 on my HP Pavilion model 15-e011nr. I can't reboot and get to the desktop. The notebook PC goes into a cycle of automatic repair, then gives a choice to restart or try advanced options. I tried to use F8 or delete to go into safe mode. Do you hold the key down or continue to press it repeatedly while the computer is starting up? Or is there another method to get to safe mode.

I have the Pavilion g7-2235dx with Windows 8.1 operating system. Nearly every automatic update messes up my ability to get on the internet. The only way I can connect is to uninstall all of the updates. The icons on my desktop also stopped working. When I click on them, it goes right back to desktop. Can't pin them to the taskbar either. The ones on the taskbar won't open by clicking on them either. Have to right click and tell it to open. Also problem getting my Norton anti-virus to open. Says it working but can't open it.

I have a client that brought me their HP Pavilion DV6500 laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium edition) that seems to have a severe issue.
When you attempt to power it up the lights above the keyboard all light up and you can hear the hard-drive spin up but then it reboots itself and begins a continuous reboot cycle. Nothing at all appears on the screen ever. The DVD/CD drive spins up momentarily (indicated by the yellow LED) but powers off when the laptop reboots itself (as one would expect).
The only way to stop the continuous rebooting is to press & hold the ESC key; this prevents the computer from rebooting, the lights stay on, but nothing appears on the screen and the DVD/CD drive will not read the recovery disc(s).
I have taken the following trouble-shooting steps:
1) Unplugged the unit from AC power & removed the battery. I was sure to hold in the power button for 30 seconds to ensure the capacitors were properly drained. This reset did not fix the issue.
2) I reseated the RAM and switched the RAM sticks (there are two of them) in trying to determine if it is a RAM issue; no affect with this attempt either.
3) Have attempted to boot into SAFE-MODE many times with no luck.

I have an Ideapad Y510P with 24G SSD and Windows 8.1. I uninstalled the Express cache by a mistake. So I want to re-install it. Unfortunately, the install program told me that I need to reboot the system even I tried to reboot or shut down the system several time.

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.

An unknown icon appears on my desktop named " Thumbs.db ". It appears on my desktop screen as well as in some files and folders. Whenever I delete that icon, it goes for some time but again comes back on the desktop. And sometimes after deleting the file the desktop turns completely blank with purple background and again comes back to normal in few seconds.
My hp product no. is : C9M34PA#ACJ
The full model no. is : Hp pavilion notebook g6-2301AX
Operating System : Windows 8.1 Single Language 64-bit

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8, and it will start up to the main desktop but has a constant loading hourglass running, and cannot click on anything, no icons responsive, only ctrl/all delete. It did say my amd graphics driver couldn't be found. My screen also blinks blue and back to desktop like it is possessed.

I've tried a hard reset (pulling battery, unplugging power cord and holding power button for 20 seconds), then reinstalled battery, plugged in power cord and started laptop by hitting esc and checking all of the parameters listed - (running tests offered - all came back okay). I tried to do a safe restart with the F8 key, but it did not accept and went to normal startup. What am I missing?
I can't get the screen to stabilize long enough to get a lock on an icon for opening a program or the main page.

I have a HP Pavilion dv9500 notebook and yesterday after more than two years of pretty much running smoothly it wouldn't boot. First it actually booted into windows but the whole desktop screen was frozen with mouse cursor. So I turned it off, turned it back on and it booted into blue screen and restarted itself. After couple of tries I booted into safe mode which was running fine.
I wasn't sure what the problem was but I was thinking it must be software related, so I loaded an image of my system which I've used before and knew was ok. But even after putting a brand new OS it was doing the same thing.
One time I was actually able to boot into normal mode so I thought maybe the issue got resolved magically. But, I have my external monitor plugged in and even when in normal mode the signal wouldn't go through, so I had to use my laptop monitor. I kept trying to switch the signal and even though it was showing the icon like it's transferring nothing happened. So I checked my video card properties and the card all of the sudden had no drivers and was basically unrecognized by the OS.

I have a HP Pavilion dv5-1215ee with the following specifications:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400
(2 GHz; 2MB Level 2 Cache; 800 MHz FSB)
My questions are:
1) Is my notebook capable of upgrading its processor from T6400 to T9600 (2.80 GHz; 6MB Level 2 Cache; 1066 MHz FSB)?
2) If so, then it would mean that it would be a decrease of its battery life, right?
3) And if I do upgrade, is the difference noticeable? I mean, if my RAM would still be 2GB DDR2, and if I do upgrade, is the change very noticeable?

I'm running Vista 64 and one of my recent windows updates, for the .NET framework, is not able to complete (I don't think it completely downloaded), but when I boot up it keeps trying to complete installation then reboots the computer when it can't, in an endless loop.
What can I do? Does Vista have a 'Safe Mode' or something where I can bypass the normal boot up and be able to get on there to grab my few unbacked-up files, then reinstall Vista? Any other kind of temporary fix? I've been seeing a few weird things for the last couple of weeks so I want to do a clean reinstall no matter what at this point, but I REALLY need to grab a few super important files first.

I own HP Pavilion DV8229ea [url]
currently I have 1024 MB DDR2 533 MHz (2 x 512 MB) and I want to upgrade the RAM to 2Gb.
I want to remove the current slots that are installed and I will buy and install 2 new slots, each one is Kingston 1GB 667Mhz DDRII (2Gb in total).
My question is:
Will it work on 667Mhz or will it be downgraded to 533Mhz? Or maybe it will not work at all
On HP website it's not written that the mainboard supports 667Mhz FSB.

in upgrading HP PAvilion ZD8002AP laptop.
1. I believe the HDD is 5400rpm, can you please suggest a 7200rpm model to replace it?
2. I believe the video card is ATI Mobility Radeon X600, is there a newer compatible card I can upgrade this with?
3. Is there a Blu-Ray burner drive I can replace the current DVD burner with?
4. Is there any way I can control cooling fan speed or temperature control? Bios is F.34.
5. I have already upgraded RAM to 2G, is it possible to go to 3 or 4 G?
6. Are there any other upgrades to improve speed and performance for this great laptop model?

i'm trying to upgrade my RAM and a system scan earlier from www.crucial.com revealed that i've got 2 spare slots (i'm surprised!) i could insert.
it is my 1st attempt to upgrade a RAM on a notebook. Warranty has expired and heck, it's time to learn! I've flipped to the back of the laptop and taken out 2 screws (labelled with mem), only i've got existing 2x 256mb RAM.
Is there 2 more slots where i need to take out the top cover? Tried to remove many other screws (including the ones labelled keyboard) but couldn't quite pry open the front lid (where the keypad is). Or I shld just chuck aside the existing RAM slots behind (assuming that crucial scan did a mistake on the available 2 slots).

The laptop is supposed to have a 64 Bit CPU. I tried to free upgrade from Win 8.0 to Win 8.1 but I get the message that I cannot upgrade because my CPU is not capable of the upgrade because of something missing from the CPU like NX or SSE.
HP, somehow forgot to inform the owners or the customer base of this defect. Hoping to not have any problem, I have lost my previous OS, Win XP Pro. There is not even a driver for Audio for Win 8.0.

I bought my lappy before 2 months. but eventually i found it gets reboot due to overheating...n it happens near about 5-6 hrs of working time, when i use it with enough power supply.
one more problem with that is Battery started draining comparatively faster than it was initially...
I feel my money got wasted ...i cant find any problem in any software....it happens generally when i play heavy games.

I tried to install XP SP2 on dm1 (su4100 version), already up and running now.
The problem was about screen brightness, it seem that xp cannot remember the last brightness level. Every time I rebooted, the screen brightness always set to max level.
I have tried to change Intel chipset and vga driver, but still nothing.
all the Fn + key button worked, even for brightness setting.
Tried installing latest QuickPlay driver, it get worst (it doesnot match with function, in dv6700 Fn+F7,F8 for setting brightness, in dm1 Fn+F3,F4)
The other issue was "pop" noise when windows is starting, but I already solved with some registry trick (which was posted in this forum)
I owned notebook with XP before, and the screen brightness always followed power scheme, if I change the scheme the brightness level will set to the last it was.
So, anyone have any suggestion regarding my brightness issue ?
If some how I can't solved this issue, Is there any 3rd party software for managing power scheme like in vista for XP ?

what type of memory is compatible with my girlfriend's hp dv2000 laptop?
All I know so far is this.
It comes with 2x1gb sticks of PC2 5300 200PIN DDR2 SODIMM
I am interested in getting 4gb for her. Would OCZ be ok?
I am looking at these right now -
[url]
They are OCZ PC2-5400 DDR2 SODIMM 200 pin
Would these be compatible with her laptop? Or can someone recommend something else???
The 5400 is just the max speed it runs at, so it would be ok if it wast the 5300 like the stock hp has?

This laptop has a t6600 processor that does not support virtualization. I have Windows 7 pro installed and I need to run some things in XP mode for work. Can I just upgrade to a p8700 processor? Will the BIOS have to be changed?

my computer has an AMD Turion mobile 64 ML-34 Processor and that the properties of the ml-34 are the same as the ml-37 (2.0ghz instead of the 1.8ghz). I installed the new ml-37 processor and well it didnt work. The screen will not come on with the new processor.
SO i put the old chip back in, but I have no idea what to do now, to get the new processor to work.

I set the power options to 50% brightness then click save changes and reboot, the display stays at 50% until about 30 seconds after i see the desktop and then the brightness goes to 100%
I have the brightness in the INTEL graphic properties, colour correction and brightness is set to -60 as low as it will go, and it says like that after reboot but the brightness still goes to 100%
Windows mobility center brightness does not fix the brightness either.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 320gb hard drive that I purchased in August 2013. It has been a great computer until last night.
I shut it down and later rebooted it.
It seemed normal until the wallpaper ( a photo of mine ) appeared as normal. The date and time was showing along with signal strength and battery strength.
None of my short cuts appeared and none of the keys on the key board work - at all.
I tried rebooting and hitting F8 to go to safe mode - nothing.
I tried a memory stick and a SD card but computer will not recognize anything. I would go back to all factory defaults and lose my files if I could get access.
