Other ways to boot in safe mode HP dv6 W7.

[xhimi]

hi. I have a HP Pavilion laptop DV6.
RAM: 3GB
CPU: 2.1 GHz
Graphic Card: 512MB
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE.
I installed a program boujou 4.1.
but when installed, after 2 minutes came a blue screen with some letters and stopped
From that moment did not start windows.
When the switch on, it seems only the hp logo and menu info F1, F2, F9, F11.
and after these seem only this: "_"that turns off the light and there is no other info I tried to start in safe mode but does not start with any of the buttons F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12
Can someone tell me other way to start in safe mode?
I did not lose because I made backup documents


Thanks to all.

F8
Press and hold it, or tap it constantly during boot up.
One of those methods should work.

If it were me xhimi, I would do a System Restore rather than trying to start in Safe Mode. Your new Boujou app may not be compatible with Windows 7 or you may have gotten a corrupted installation. Either way, I would undo it through System Restore before I took a chance on further damaging my system.

By the way, there's help available at the Boujou site as well as a forum for problem solving. Why don't you see if your problem has been addressed?

Hi,

If you manage to get the machine booted at all you can use msconfig to select safe boot on the next restart.



Also, as soon as the main HP splash screen has disappeared you need to continually tap F8 until the boot options menu appears.

Hi.
I can't start to do this you show me..
I tried and the system restore, but not completed.
I have dvd of installation of w7.
With this I can do anything?
Perhaps the commandprompt, any possibility?
On the dvd I tried startup repair = nothing, system restore = nothing,
At least I have the opportunity to backup.

When the the switch on, it seems only the hp logo and menu info F1, F2, F9, F11.

One of these keys (may be F9) should get you into a recovery options screen (pay close attention during logo screen) and browse through the menus carefully as there should be a "system restore" option as Imperfect1 pointed out above or Recovery options.

You only want to use the recovery options as a last resort as those options will either return your computer to factory condition and you will lose any saved media/documents + reinstall all of your programs or option similar to a repair install where you will only have to reinstall all/some of your programs.

Note: option may be labeled "Recover/restore your computer to an earlier time" or something similar.

Just as a point of clarification, System Restore doesn't affect or change any of the user's personal files/folders.

EDIT: or programs (depends on restore point chosen)

You are correct Imperfect1 , but I must stress to the OP the pitfalls of picking the Recovery option should the need arise.

rich46 the OP can not even access the advanced boot options by pressing F8 or reach the desktop making safe mode options in the tut unavailable.

Terve Xhimi, tervetuloa Seiska Foorumille.

Vanhemmissa HP'n Pavilion dv-sarjan läppäreissä esiintyy silloin tällöin kuvalemasi kaltainen buuttiongelma, kun joko akku tai emolevy alkaa olla käyttötaipaleensa loppusuoralla. Kone ei saa aloitettua ns. POST vaihetta (Power On Self Test, käynnistyksen itsetestaus). Ongelman ilmestyminen juuri nyt voi olla ihan puhdas sattuma, sillä ei välttämättä ole mitään tekemistä asentamasi Boujou softan kanssa.

Kokeile tätä resetoidaksesi kone:

• Sammuta kone
• Irroita akku ja virtajohto
• Pidä koneen virtakytkintä alaspainettuna noin 30 sekuntia
• Odota 15-20 minuuttia, liitä sitten virtajohto mutta ei akkua
• Käynnistä kone
• Jos kone käynnistyy, sulje se uudestaan ja laita akku paikalleen ennen uudelleen käynnistystä

Jos kone ei edelleenkään käynnisty, tule takaisin niin kokeillaan jotain muuta.

Toivotaan että onnistuu!

Hello Xhimi, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Older HP Pavilion dv series laptops can have this kind of boot problems sometimes when either the battery or motherboard is coming closer its life cycle. The laptop simply can't start the POST (Power On Self Test) and can therefore not boot. That your issue occurred first time just after you installed a new application and got a blue screen can be a pure coincidence.

You could try this to completely reset your laptop:

• Turn the laptop off
• Disconnect the power cord, remove the battery
• Press and hold down the power switch of the laptop at least 30 seconds
• Wait 15 to 20 minutes, plug the power cord back. Do not insert the battery yet
• Turn the laptop on
• If it boots normally now, turn it off again when Windows has booted normally, replace the battery before turning it on again

If your laptop does not boot after this procedure, come back and we'll try something else.

Good luck!

Anyway, i want to thnx all people here for your help.

First, I have to apologize Xhimi that I forgot you are not a Finn although you show Finnish flag under you avatar, so using Finnish language in my previous post was a mistake. Just after posting I remembered who you are, that we've had this discussion earlier

Sorry. No more Finnish to you

Then back to your issue. If your computer does not boot past that blinking hyphen on black screen it means POST can not run, which makes computer unable to boot. I still think this could be your issue, and if it was my laptop, I would repeat the resetting procedure once more.

Next thing is to check the connectors of hard disk(s). The HD's are located on the bottom of your laptop, under a lid attached with 4 screws. Open the lid, disconnect and reconnect HD's.

If everything else fails, but as you mentioned you can boot from your installation USB, you can do a repair install. It keeps all your installed applications and personal files. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

Please, do not have to ask forgiveness.
I really enjoy that you remember.
♥♥♥Many thanks for your support and solutions to tell.
But I missed it all, as made clean install, that I lost patience and got bored.
Can "I had saved all the files with the doc doing refresh install.
But this idea came after I had reached the middle of installation.
♥♥♥However, many thanks for your help and everyone here at SEVEN FORUMS.
