HP Pavillion stuck on blue screen

Hi Ink.

Where is this blue screen ac-curing? in Bios? or just before the OS boots? Does it happen at the exact same time?

Let me know there are a fews things it could be.

Kindest Regards Rob."

Tks for replying Rob,
It is before bios, when i power up...the blue HP screen is almost immediate and I cant get it to respond or doing anything after that.

So it's freezing at the HP splash screen that normally hides BIOS post information.

Could be a hardware problem, try clearing cmos, if you can then get into bios, disable full screen logo or whatever HP will call it so you can see what is going on.

If that doesn't work, disconnect your drives and see if one of them is dragging it down.

Hi Ink Try what das says even if you can get into post bios? What i would recommend though over everything else is to go to your local IT Repair shop and ask them just to put a new RAM Dimm in just to test it, i would most probably say it is either you motherboard or RAM! The first Generation Pavilion laptops had the biggest motherboard issues with regards to breaking. What they did was they put an extremely irate Nvidia mobile graphics card into that series of board without sufficient cooling which would overheat a little over a year or two! it was the biggest stuff up on HP"S behalf, this is when they re introduced Compaq again, to up sales as the demand for HP"s lessoned as the biggest sellers where the HP Pavillions at that time, it crumbled there reputation!

if its not the RAM on the laptop, then it is most defiantly is the Motherboard, in which case throw the thing away unfortunately to say, it is a expensive mistake.

Kindest Regards Rob."
