Hp dv9700 cannot load windows 7 black screen blinking cursor
Last response: in Components
Hello,
I am trying to do a clean install on a brand new hard drive of Windows 7 but I cannot get the CD to boot when I start my laptop. I went into the BIOS and have the drive order with the CD/DVD booting first. When i start the computer, it shows the HP introduction screen but instead of starting the Windows 7 installation like it should, it just shows a blinking white cursor on a black screen. The laptop I have is a HP DV9700 AMD Turion64 with an NVIDIA graphics card 2 GHZ processor with 3 GB of RAM and originally came with Vista but there was a hard drive failure so i had to order a Seagate 320GB hard drive and formatted it. I know that this particular laptop has problems with a lot of people with the motherboard but I don't think that this is a motherboard issue. Just cannot seem to get the laptop to boot from the CD. I know that this CD can boot from startup since I have tried it on another computer. Can anybody give me any ideas on what might be preventing the CD from booting on this laptop?
Thank you

I have the same issue.
DV9700z with AMD Athlon 64 (X2) and nvidia graphics card running Vista.
My optical drive "disappeared" first 4 weeks ago. I could not get it back. Tried to install a new optical drive, same issue, device manager cannot see it. 3 weeks later, my HDD "died". Cannot boot windows. I see the HP invent welcome screen, then "No Operating System found" msg. I know the HDD works because I tested myself and just to make sure, had it tested.
With this configuration, it is a known issue that the MB gets fried by the overheating of the graphics card.
HP wants $400 to fix the issue and they say it's the MB.
