My 3 HPs died the same way, Usualy its because of the god awful cooling that affects the graphics chip. You could try to reapply thermal paste and reset the CMOS battery by taking it off for a second. Wise thing would be to just buy another machne and get data bac from HDD.

 @magorkhe1, No offence but what's the point of stating your RAM and HDD size to ask for help for this problem? And maxpayne, you must be some special kind of breed to buy a third HP when two had died before. Don't buy HP. It overheats.

Once you setup Bios: 1st is cd Rom and second is Hdd?  It should automatically check second on one ?  It is asking me rebot and select proper bood device or insert bood meida in selected boot device and press a key. I was able to go on window 7 before, why it is asking me this?  Once I was able to go to Safemode too. Last edited: 30-Sep-13 08:54 PM

 Furke, lots of people with HPs when they were cheap and popular.  Gorkhe why dont you make a bootable cd, download a tool from link below. Select the windows iso you downloaded, and burn it to dvd. here: http://www.microsoftstore.com/...

धन्यबाद सबैलाई : फुर्के ब्रो : Roommate चाहियो भन्ने तर कुन राज्य को कुन सहर अनि कुन स्ट्रिटमा छ भनि नखुलाउनेलाइ चस्का दिने हरु थुप्रै थिए : HD र RAM थपि दिए पछि ए तेरो मेमोरी कम भएको कुरा तिर धागो नतनकिएला ,  खोजेको कुरा नै समयमा पाइएला भनि राखेको हु प्रभु |

RIP HP, your Windows 7 Restore partition is corrupt, Like with most HP, prolly your GPU is already fried as well..buddy.. I've had several posts right here on sajha, years ago, DON‘T BUY HP !!! But, since it's your “someone”s laptop, tell him/her the sad story. Btw, it's not called redownload, it's called Windows 7 factory re-setup using recovery partition. What is 'default slot'? anyway..

एउटाले हराएको घोडा खोज्न गएको घोडा बन्न बिर्सिएछ | एक हातमा दुबो अनि अर्को हातमा लिदी बोकी एस्तो खाने र एस्तो हग्ने हरायो देख्नु भा छ भनि सोद्थ्यो रे | टेक्निकल भासा लेख्ने बेलामा न आए पछि पर्याबची सब्द को प्रयोग ले काम चलाउनु परेन ? कम्प्युटर ले cdrom पहिले रिड गर्ने अनि पछि HD  रिड गर्नु पर्ने हैन ? मेरो भनाइ यो कम्प्युटर ले एक पछि अर्को रिड गर्ने तरिका लाइ DEFAULT भन्न खोजेको हु , बुझ्ने ले मिलाएर पढ्नु होला |

I took off the wire hooked up with cd rome and placed on Hard drive. Now it shows start window normally or safemode. But it is taking me nowhere?
