@denzel

I don't think so. if it is then he wont have been able to install it in the first place.
Known issues with this range e.g. disabling the sata in the bios so as to install xp

and get hold of sata xp disk in other to work. had it been he installed xp ontop of
vista without disabling sata controller in bios then definitely i will say yes it might have

contributed to the problem. bro the things is yeah if he can get to the bios then that's good
if not then reinstalling vista will sort it. wink

wackhack:
Someone should please help me o! My system went blank and all the keyboard are not functioning. At start up it only display Intel Centrino and after that it will go blank! What can i do o! I'm using Window 7 beta, HP pavillion dv6000 wit 1gg ram and 150g hard disk. It doesn't even go to safe mode.
What can I do?
Dear Wackhack,

connect to external display such as a monitor or LCD TV then test
if you get a display then you need a Bios update. let us know
and one of the tec we be able to pinpoint you to HP website.

If no display after connecting to a monitor then you are looking
at hardware problem. Here is your diagnostics hold 3 of 5 fingers on
J, K, L and press firmly on each key at the same time for 40 seconds this usually
resolve most issues then test. if no joy pop the battery out+charger and
any other device attached such as external mouse etc

Dont be alarm ! hold one of your finger on the laptop power button for 40 seconds
this usually get rid of any static build up then test with no battery. immediately keep pressing

f10 to gain access to the bios where you a blue screen press f9 or anything that says
load default settings then f10 to save and exit then wait should boot up to windows
didnt shutdown successfully. start windows normally then give us feedback and the next
tec will be able to attend to you. however Hp has confirmed hadrware issues with this range of
laptop. Please scrool up and find the link i posted to a user with similar problem.

Good luck and thanks for enquiring.

I have a problem with my system, if i boot my pc, it will come up to windows level, display all desktop icons (i mean my files on desktop), after that the system will freeze. Windows will then report an error message
"The exception unknown software exeption (0xCOOOOOd) occurred in the applicational locatin ox78138a8c; click 'ok' to terminate the programme, click on 'cancel' to debug the programme".
When I click on 'ok', the desktop icon will disappear, and the system will be on a stand still (not responding). Then the only option is to remove power because windows will not even been able to shut down.
While when I click on 'debug', Windows will report that "the instruction at 0x78138a8c reference memory at 0x78138a8c. So if i click on ok windows will report that "the memory could not be written (tpsrv.exe)"
Any update on the diagnostics you were advice

Bios version is F .3D

Processor type Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3500+

Total Memory 512MB

OPerating System :Windows Vista Ultimate edition

System board ID 30B7

Hope you guys have a clearer picture on my situation. The start up noise is that persistent and my system can't finish booting?

Is the re-installation corrupt?


I tried running XP but the system is not picking it (recognizing)
Pls help
Thanks for providing the above information and looking at the problem so far. I'm afraid this is a hardware issue
and need to be service by a technician. ok on you left hand side where you have the power button try pressing on the
plastics and see if you same noise. if no joy then is a hardware issue. Good luck

he exception unknown software exeption (0xCOOOOOd) occurred in the application location
highlighted in bold is a clue as to what the problem is. an application is causing conflicts somewhere
as a result your computer was very slow. best bet is to follow denzel advice boot to safe mode
by pressing f8 repeatedly none stop then uninstall those programmes i ask you to and give us feedback

Good luck !

Thanks, but it sound a lil bit complicated, I mean burning the iso image of that, i dont really get that. Please help throw some light on that
Dear Wafijoe,

Thanks for your recent enquiry, the advice you were given was absolutely perfect.
However you may wish to carry out more diagnostics to narrow down the cause.

I take no panda security installed ? if it is simply go to control panel or use google
to find out how you can uninstall  panda software. I take you don't have norton
or limewire installed ? if it is could you please remove them as well then test.

Afterwards press control + alt+ delete go to task manager then processes look for tpsrv.exe
and try ending the process. you can do this first before you do the above doesn't matter.

Next time we would appreciate you telling us make and model of your computer, this is to
speed and guarantee tec replies. Good luck !

@Deji

Base on your advise to another member, I tried running the diagnostics test

TEST STATUS: #1-7 Fail

What does that mean?


I am anxious to hear from you.
Thanks for reading and following previous advice. Actually, I believe the #1-07 error is the result
of SMART failing in the SATA controller. That is a mainboard issue, the hard drive may be just fine.

For assurance, you might try to test the drive with the diagnostics and repair tools from the drive
manufacturer. They all offer something like Hitachi's DFT (drive fitness test) on their websites.

HP inbuilt HD test can sometime deceive. so, am reckoning is motherboard fault not a hdd.
reading through the link i gave you i am satisfy to let this off as a motherboard replacement,
however try updating the bios like i suggested on my previous reply.  to make sure your hard drive
exist go bios again look for main on the left hand side then should say Sata Hitachi or similar.

let us know what it says then give us a feed back. in addition try playing round until you see an
option to check for your bios version could be the old version. for better understanding check

laptop are not easily upgradeable as suppose to a PC, however
if you have extra slots you can upgrade your video card, sound etc.

In other to achieve this you will need SATA to IDE converter. if you live in the united kingdom
pop in to your local branch pc world or currys and enquire about SATA to IDE converter or
ask at your local computer shop. This is a link explaining it's functions

Thank you so much. its a continuous beeping until when i press CRTL button, it wont stop or CAPS button before it will load.

Its not loading into windows again, if not it could have been an easy task to upgrade the systems BIOS. What do I do?
I will strongly recommend reading HP advice with the link i gave you. take your time
and see if you can copy Bios update unto a cd/dvd from a different machine pop the
disk inside your laptop and follow on screen instructions. Best bet follow the link
i gave you. you will need time to go through them. Good luck !

@dehning

Here's your diags

Turn off Turn on keep pressing F10 until a blue screen appears
use your arrow key and go down to diagnostics hard drive self test
go for long test and make sure laptop is running through the mains.
after the test you will given a result pass or fail. if diagnostics is not
available no worries leave it on the blue screen while is plug to mains
examine for 1 hour until it shut itself down, if it does then is a hardware fault.

if it doesn't shutdown withing an hour is a software and will be a case of
reinstalling everything back to scratch and make sure you backup your data.

Good luck and thanks for enquiring

I didn't get your point. How can I fix this noise at start up? Hope you get the question now.

The laptop is DV6000 HP
Dear guseman,

Thanks for the above enquiry and do appreciate your explanations. HP DV series laptop
has known issues which is widely known. I'm guessing 2 beeps at start up, is that right ?

Does it boot into windows ? if it does then you will need a bios update to resolve this issue
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&lc=en&cc=us

If does not boot into windows take out the battery and charger and hold down your laptop
power button for 30 seconds then test. Do not take it to a technician until you have followed
our instructions then technician. The last resort is for the engineer putting a new motherboard
which cost alots + labour et cetera. Good luck !

The second problem is that the battery of the Dell Vostro 1510 core 2 Duo hardly lasts for 40 minutes, Is this a design problem with this brand of laptop or that the battery of this fairly used one is bad? embarassed
