Jameel263:
I did all what you suggest. Itz windows 7 ultimate. But the fan is working and all other led lights appears.

This netbook came with windows 7 starter not
ultimate version. it also has 1gb ram hence y is
so slow in the meanwhile restart keep pressing f2 to get to
bios once there press f9 or anything that says load default and
f1o to save and exit.

secondly

Disconnect the power from your computer.
If possible remove the battery and external devices.
Hold the power button for about 15 seconds
Put the battery back in the computer
Reconnect the power
Press the power button to turn on your computer

My bother windows 7 on a Dell D600? The system was not designed to run Vista talk less win 7. My advice here, run a low level format on ur Hdd, if it does not complain of bad sectors, then I will advice u downgrade to XP, if it does, change the Hdd, and install XP. But if u still insist on 7 at least upgrade ur RAM, download win 7 audio driver for D600 if its available, that should take care of the audio problem. But I will still advice stick to XP.

On the optical drive issue, u may want to use another disk or try another drive.
thanks boss. Never knew windows 7 was too much for the dell. I would downgrade as you've adviced. Thanks again

deji2009:

does dell have the drives on their website ? yes or no
run windows 7 upgrade advisor on the dell it will
tell if you can upgrade it but doubts it. you may have done it before
but to me personally i wouldn't waste my time on
something that does not exist so good luck with it anyway
you will have a scary blue screen of death and the laptop
will shutdown every now and then.please adhere to kighttemplar advice
thanks boss of life. You saved me once, still grateful bro.

Naturaly is shouldn't run. You can not run a 64-bit application on a 32-bit host system. The host system or the app will advice u to run a compatible program. On the other hand u can run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit host system.
i was refering to the OS windows 32 or 64 bit

The speakers are possibly bad. You need to replace them. $20 can get you good working speakers.

If it fell or had been knocked by somebody you need to open the hard disk compartment and make sure it is seated properly.Put off your system and unscrew the nuts for the hard disk bay, remove the hard disk and put it back properly. After that restart your system.

Return back with your findings!

When an HP laptop refuses to restart but can shut down, what exactly could be the cause?

honeric01: When an HP laptop refuses to restart but can shut down, what exactly could be the cause?

software/registry problems.
use google to find out how
you could get to safe mode and
use system restore to take it
back to when it was working okay

1st
when in safe mode try to restart, does it restart ?
if it does go to safe mode again and use system
restore to take it back to when it was working.

it doesnt restart itself either does it go off itself. It refuses to come up again when it needs to be restarted for a program to complete an installation. E.g antivirus.

That's much better.
if the laptop fails to
on itself after restart then
that's a different problem.
if it comes on but not
booting to your desktop
then use the safe mode features
Yes use the safe mode
as described in previous
message.

I take it to be a dell or an Hp
windows vista or windows 7
