windows 7 boot error
I have a HP pavilion p6823w I have the basic windows 7 and I have many problems and I need help.
I bought this computer in september, and I havent downloaded anything except the windows updates and norton antivirus wich my stepdad INSISTED I had.
I didnt do anything different, it was running perfect, and then my computer flickered and restarted, and now it wont go any firther than the blue hp screen.
I have no option for safe mode, F11 system recovery will not open. F9 diagnostics will not open either.
esc boot menu will work and so will F10 setup.
If you wait too long on the blue screen, a black screen shows up and it says Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
I tryed to run a system restore disk and it told me that there are no drivers.
I got a screen a while ago that said that there was a hard drive error. I looked it up and a link somewhere told me to open my computer and disconnect and re-connect my SATA cables and I did and I havent seen that message since, so I dont know if that worked, and I am really hoping for a relatively simple fix. Any ideas?
