My hp dv6000
The graphics got very big, and later when I rebooted it refuse to display rather it will make a beep sound 3times

Pls what is the problem, and how can I resolve it?

Big display is clear indication of a driver issue. Sounds like your system may have defaulted back to "Standard VGA adapter"

But since you are unable to see any display at all...then you may have a bad video card. But do check the beeps you are getting from the manufacurers website.

or takes a great courage to face the tide of smart test. for the records, smart means self monitoring and reporting technique. Once the hard disk fails this test, is periodontal failure or permanent crash is inevitable. I'll advice you to speed at ussein bolt frequency too get a new one or backup and fold your arms. cool

This sounds like a power management issue. Most times manufacturer's image comes with their own power management software that determines when the screen should dim. I'm guessing the F3 function key allows you to wake the computer back up for that laptop.

Who manufactured the computer....?
Look for any power management software that is installed and edit the settings...or you can disable it and use microsoft's power options tools.

Now if this issue just started all of a sudden...then you may need to update your drivers and your bios firmware as well.

HP usually house their bios firmware on their website.

It sounds like you may have to uninstall and install the software again. If you are able to do that...please try that.

Im sorry but im not sure what else specifically that could be causing the issue.

I would recommend utilizing system restore and going back to the last day the software worked for you.

Dont be scared of using system restore...as long as you are not going too far back...maybe a week or two weeks
