Solved HP Pavilion DV1000 Laptop Multiple Errors

Hello, this will be long so I'll get straight to the point. I have an hp pavilion dv1000 laptop running windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. This has worked perfectly until yesterday. I was running disk defragmentor when power went out, restarted laptop, ran for a bit then keyboard and mouse stopped responding. Restarted laptop, keyboard and mouse work in bios and windows 7 safe mode, beyond that, nothing. Reinstalled windows 7, keyboard and mouse working, installed audio driver (conexant aclink 97 audio), immediatly keyboard and mouse freeze. When I restart laptop in safemode and disable audio driver (which worked perfectly before) keyboard and mouse work. Another thing, I have tried booting ubuntu live cd and slax live cd, keyboard and mouse work during setup, but stop working once operating system, i.e linux, starts running. I have tried everything, formatting hard drive and reinstalling windows 7, updating drivers, nothing works, and the system is acing strangley, wont even instal vga display drivers.

Thanks, sorry for many typhos

Hello wizzar, welcome to the forum

When you have a problem like this over multiple operating systems, it suggests a hardware failure, was your laptop connected to the mains supply when the power went out?
It may help if you were to post a snip Device manager and ensure that your chipset drivers are installed.
When I look for drivers for your laptop I do not find any Windows 7 drivers, what drivers are you using? and if they are the Vista drivers are you installing them in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html

Hello Pooch

Thank you for responding, the laptop was not intended for windows 7, i.e no official support, I was able to get by on extracted windows xp drivers which worked fine for about 6 months. I think it's hardware failure. On windows 7 whenever the audio driver was enabled, the keyboard and mouse would stop working. keyboard works fine in bios. I have installed ubuntu 11.04 as the default os, keyboard does jam, but after removing and reinserting battery, keyboard seems to be funtional again (for past 2hours now) so i guess i'll just have to make do with ubuntu, it's not a bad os.

OK thank you for the answer and I hope it continues to work for you

Just an afterthought, if your laptop continues to work OK with Ubuntu, with full function and you should decide at sometime to try Windows 7 again there is a good chance that the XP drivers may also work in compatibility mode.
