HP DV7 6000 notebook will not boot
This laptop suddenly just would not boot. I did find it turned off the morning that it would not boot up and I do not usually turn off the unit but just let it sleep. so it must have had something turn it off. I dont know what though. The only thing I can get it to do is to boot in safe mode and it will not restart from there though. Safe mode seems to be fine though. It would portend that things are not all that bad since it does operate . but will not boot up at all. I tried to run startup repair numerous times as well as i have rebuilt the MBR and reloaded the system from an image I had on disk as well as changed the ssd out for the old harddrive that was freshly formated and loaded with the win7 os as a backup if needed. I need it! But it will not boot either. I at a loss as to what to do next. The unit is rather old but was not giving me any problems at all. It is a sandy bridge processor which does run hot but I have often cleaned the fan out to keep good air movement over the cpu so I dont think its a thermal issue. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
