luckyCO: pls if you can i wil be very grad. Only what u need to do it to get dvd about 3 or 4 and open from options on how to create recovery cd. It is found from control icons. Then burn them for me,i wil pay you. Thanks

Most Hp has a recovery partition that can be
access by pressing f11
on start up until you see a recovery
manager. try it for yourself.

The hp in built recovery will
not work if the
recovery partition has been
altered or affected by a MBRvirus

pawn89: do u have any anti virus running currently and u wanna install another one and each time u try it restarts on its own, or, u don't have any antivirus program running on your laptop currently and u intend to install one, but whenever your try installing your system restarts, please which one of em is your situation?
thanks

irst of all many viruses are created daily and also the anti-viruses.

there are many,many kind of viruses..

one such kind is called stealth virus
it means it won't be detected by anti-virus
software while scanning. there is a code which
hides the virus from anti-virus.

another type is called logic bomb.
it means the code will run every time when a
particular condition is satisfied.

so as an example in your case it may be like that
whenever you run the installer for avast,shut-down the computer.

use the best anti-virus. avast is definitely good
but you should also understand that wherever there is
windows there are viruses. windows and viruses are like brothers.
they simply can not live without each other. ..:d..

SO, see what anti-virus can be installed on your computer i.e. Malwarebytes
if it succeeds then do a full system-scan..remove the viruses
detected. try cleaning your registry and temporary files using ccleaner.
point is make ur system clean..

never run windows without anti-virus..
if none works then format ur computer(take back-ups first)..
and after formatting the first thing to do is to install a good anti-virus..

You'll need a a windows xp cd. look under the laptop
it should says windows xp home or professional edition

slimsixtusx: compaq presario cq60, mavis beacon doesn't work, windows 7

pls explain better

CY09: Thanks to all who suggested solutions, i finally fixed the printer. After a long and stressful troubleshooting, i noticed that it was a hardware related issue. I found out that the logic board was bad, so i simply replaced it, and voila, the printer started working. I hope someone learns from this.

Wow ! you finally fix it.

Emma4dfuture: Hi; I have a pc that behaves this way: Any time someone clicks on a folder immediately after logon, the "Do you want to delete the folder" dialog box pop up. Sometimes it starts deleting them by itself. Please what do I do? I find this problem knida annoying. Thanks a lot.

1st
The folder didn't delete itself a virus deleted or moved it.
do you have antivirus software, please check to make it has not
expired download malwarebyte to scan for viruses/Malware

2nd
After that click start, all program... accessories click run
and type in mrt press enter and selct full scan

adewasco2k: I think this chart will help out
Look at this chart.
Number of Blinks or Beeps Location of Blinking LEDs Component Being Checked Error Condition Continuous glow Battery power LED Battery The AC adapter is attached and the battery is charging, but does not yet have sufficient charge to power the notebook. 1 Caps Lock/Num Lock CPU CPU not functional 2 Caps Lock/Num Lock BIOS BIOS corruption failure 3 Caps Lock/Num Lock Memory Module error not functional 4 Caps Lock/Num Lock Graphics Graphics controller not functional 5[b] Caps Lock/Num Lock System board General system board[/b] failure 6 Caps Lock/Num Lock BIOS BIOS authentication failure Continuous blink AC power adapter LED Power adapter Insufficient power

Scharck: oh I said the display remains blank and the CAPS LOCK key blinks 5 times.

I cited the above from adewasko previous post

Have you previously updated the bios without charger or
with charger and peripherals connected such as usb stick
or a printer. is xp or vista

In the meanwhile, please be careful and beware of ESD
before opening the memory compartment.

Yes remove one memory stick at a time and try powering on as normal
if no joy remove the other stick and try with other one. also
remove the hard disk to test. Memory rarely fails and ifit does it
would notify by using a sound i.e. beeps not caps lock. in my experience
the caps lock usually pointing towards bad mobo or corrupted bios/ cmos

Please refer to the above the problem is a
motherboard and need a new one.

Scharck: Pls correct me if i'm wrong but When you said to reseat the hard disk and memory modules I assumed you meant to remove and return them back which I was capable of doing myself.. The model no is Compaq 615. that's what I got off the underside anyway. thanks.

Cant remember what the problem is again, please remind me

donbig: hi guys i really really need your help please, i have just recently bought an compaq CQ56-112SA and a couple of weeks later i strarted to get some crackling noise now and then on the right side of the speaker , this is sooo irritant i really anoying and i wonder what it is iv tried so many forum links and settings to change it but nothings change : please help M̶̲̥̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ ooooooooO!

I am please to offer you a wireless remote support. go to google and download teamviewe install
it by choosing non commercial use and let me kow once it is once. I'd remote see what I can do for you.
It entirely up to you if you want to. I am a computer professional not a nigerian 419

I am deji2009 A winner of computer section 2012. let me asap. I am free tonight at 10pm Nigerian time 11pm

mdsocks: i bet you didnt do the second sggestion

I'm thinking same because the previous diags should
have nailed it. Moreover is the poster using 32 bit or
64 operating system

If Mozilla did not I'd be very surprised !

Alternative try Google chrome
if no joy proceed below by using
internet explorer ake a look at the
security tab under Tools/Internet
Options. If it doesn't work with default
settings, you can lower the security level

for Internet or add the site name to the
Trusted sites zone. There is also a
Certificates section under the Content
tab which is rather complicated.
Some sites are blocked simply because they
forgot to renew their certificate on time.
In the past, when I encountered a
problem there was usually an option to by-pass
the protection, but it's possible there could be
a group policy setting that was changed from its
default in order to further lock down IE.
Did you set up IE yourself or was the computer
supplied by your company? Please check that your
computer clock is set correctly.

all4naija: Please, your question is not clear enough. Are you installing from the CD or just trying the OS from CD? what is your system configuration and the Ubuntu OS version?

I gave you a round of applause.



That's the right Questions

Who knows the poster may
be installing it from a
Hiren boot cd. He could
be dual booting because
it rare for a user to have
Ubutu as main Operating Sys

abysirius: Some few months ago I got this new laptop and 1 of the vry first thing I noticed few days after I bought it was that the battery level stops going up even when the system is still connected to power. It's plugged but not charging. Initially it happens once battery level is about 80% full but not any more because it keeps goin down. Now it stops chargin d moment battery level is around 38%. Even recently I notice that the charging port is not contacting with power well. I'll need to squeez the pin in very well into d port for the system to b connected to power supply. Pls help!

mdsocks: brand new...as in you removed the packaging and still noticed this??

Don't tell me you didnt take it back to the seller or it's not covered?

If it's brand new as you saw best bet take it back to them...your battery, ac adapter is bad and it's too early to be changing those kind of things in a system except you acknowledge that you have used the system badly.

What's the make and model number. This is common on some Dell's and Hp Compaq models.
The pin inside the laptop could meant that your dc jack is weak in other words it
need resoldering. for the battery charging issues check google for battery memory effect

[quote author=Seun-T]Pls I have this mini laptop going to 2years now but for the past six months now, I have been having serious problem with it and I have tried all my best possible reviving it (been that I am a young coming up computer engineer). This is problem, each time I put it on all I see is powering light On nothing else,no display,the fan sometime spins and sometime it doesn't,no Cap light,no sound,no processing light blinking.. I have tried every possible solution I know reviving it, in terms of opening the casing,cleaning, removing d RAM replacing it with working RAM,the Hard Disk...but all my effort yield no good result but i discover that by abandoning it for a very long time (weeks) without touching it,it might work properly for three to four days and stop working again. Me no get money i for take it to the Samsung office...so pls help this poor boy with right solution...thank you all in advance for your suggestion.
Product: Samsung
Model: N150Plus
RAM: 2gig
Hard Disk: 320gig
Processor Rate: 1.66
Notebook[/quote]you also need to understand that if something fails to work
then is a hardware problem. we can only advice you.

Scharck: Thanks. I've done it. it's still not working. I'm afraid it's the board.

I find that hard to believe unless you are a
computer tech or have a previous knowledge
on how to do it. Okay if you had tried that
please take it to a computer shop further
diagnostics and repair. what's the full model
number of the laptop. for example Compaq 204-404SA
windows vista

adewasco2k: I think this chart will help out

That's right from the compaq hp website. the guy with the bsod
screen was trying to install xp over sata achi or what or windows
7/vista over compatibility mode

kay29000: This started a couple of days ago. I would be using the laptop, and the screen would just start blinking all of a sudden, then stop. It does this many times of the day. And then today I noticed a green line at the top of the screen.


Please, I would love comments from people that are familiar with this problem.


Thank you.

connect to external monitor and see if it is the same

Dave ama: Thanks

I guess the problem has been fixed by adewasko.

Scharck: Pls help. The screen of my Compaq 652 remains blank after turning it on and the CAPS lock key led blinks five times? what could be the problem? any solution?

adewasco2k: Try this:
1. unplug the computer from AC power.
2.remove the computer battery.
3.hold down the power button for at least one minute (Hold down the button like you want to On your computer).
4. after holding it for sometimes, replace back the battery and try it now

Get someone to reseat the hard drive and memory modules,
it is usually the sign of faulty memory or motherboard components.

Dave ama: Still bringing out the same thing

you need to start pressing f8 as soon as you
on the lapto keep pressing it non
stop you should get the screen
advanced boot option. also make sure
our laptop i actually off by removing the
battery and then try it again

mdsocks: ok...have you tried entering through safe mode...i.e. press f8 while the system is starting up and select safe mode... report back...

Dave ama: There is no external hard drive, did the last known configuration, but also comes up with the blue screen.

adewasco2k: that is Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD,The blue screen usually occurs when your Windows operating system (OS) detects a problem or error that will not allow it to continue working properly.

truly you cant be sure what caused it but you can figure it out. so let me walk you through some troubleshooting which i can remember now.
1. if you remember installing a program lately, uninstall it, it might not be cool with your configuration.
2. if any external hardware is connected, remove it i might not be compatible.
2. restart your system, whule its about to boot, press F8 and select Last Known Good Configuration. may be you did a setting which will not work well, this will date you to the last setting before the problem.
3. this can also come up when you are been attacked by virus, so do a virus scan.

you can also check the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for more clue about what went wrong.

may be others can add to this

If no joy restart f8 and select disabla auto restart on system failure
so you can write the error down

Get the code for the blue screen at the bottom of the screen in the format 0x00000
and try searching the google website for a solution

Is this an hp laptop ? what's the model number ? e.g. Acer 5920

Windows 7 vista or xp. you may need a repair disk to do automatic
repairs. have you trid f8 and see if repair your compu..is available ?

My colleague suggested safe mode, tried that and click start
start, all progr..access..., system tools and system restore
select a date before the problem started and follow on screen instruc...


Mostcommon: Driver update. When you update your driver you may end up
incompatible/corrupted drivers. This is the most common BSOD problem.
Go to safe mode put your original driver back

mdsocks: You can try resetting the Bios to Default, by taking the battery out for 5 minutes or doing ATX hard reset

Also, based on hp's beeping error, since it's 2 beeps then it's bios error like you said but can also try removing the rams or if you added any new hardware remove it and try this to see if it works.If it however doesn't work then you need to locate the jumpers on the board which i won't recommend ..

MAybe deji can help better....

or read this please..it's an hp forum

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01732674&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1816340

Mdsocks has said it all. please read http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10000910-64.html

did you install any bios update before this problem started ?
whats the model number e.g. hp dv950-ea. on the laptop
does it say NVIDIA. if it is and we concluded the motherboard
is the problem it may need nvidia graphics card reflow. not a
road road fix fix or cheap to do the equipment is available but
expensive. this method fix hp vnidia issues, ps2 issues and, dells
laptop mx series and xbox. its a completely waste of time asking you
to do it by yourself using a heat run and foil. the problem will come
back.oftenmost people buy another computer.
