Windows 7 Instalation CD error

What is fried?? The HD? As of your last posts you have mobo function, power and are booting disks. This is fried?

 

[ToxicXGL]

The people we took It to said it was fried I dont know but I am going to take it to geek squad to see what they have to say about it

 

[gregrocker]

OK let us know what you find out.

The hd is fine but aperrently the motherboard is gone

 

[ToxicXGL]

I got my computer back after a while and I loaded it up it said windows had an unexpected shutdown so I loaded normaly and It said windows is loading but the logo didn't show up and 1 minuet of it loading it shut down and now it's stuck at the main screen with the f9 f11 etc options

 

[gregrocker]

Didn't you just take it to a shop? Did they charge you to fix it? What did they find?

If you paid to fix it I would take it back and tell them they need to fix it correctly which is what you paid for.

 

[ToxicXGL]

We did take it to them we paid for a diagnostic and then they claimed that our motherboard was fried and Said they would fix it and that never came around so we decided to take it back I don't know if he's right cause he was wrong quite a few times

Reinstall the new HD you first wrote about. Make sure it is installed securely and then look in BIOS setup to see if it shows up.

If so, boot the Win7 installer and see if it detects the HD for install. Install WIn7 following these steps: Clean Install Windows 7

What is the make and model of your computer? Fill in more of your System Specs in bottom left corner of your post if possible.

You repeatedly refer to more than one Hard Drive. Do you have another HD to try installing alone. Does it show in BIOS.

If you can enter BIOS setup then the mobo may be OK. But you need to get the HD to show up in BIOS so we can proceed..

I pressed f10 to go into set up and it gave me this

 

[gregrocker]

What is the F10 key used for on your computer? Have you used it for this before?

If you are trying to boot the disk use this: How to Boot your Computer from a Bootable CD or DVD

 

[ToxicXGL]

F10 goes to my setup no I am not loading from a disk just started up my comp and went to setup and this came up also wht do I do now?

 

[gregrocker]

What setup? Factory Recovery?

 

[ToxicXGL]

F10 to go into like startup setup spin can see my bios and hardrives etc

 

[gregrocker]

You referring to BIOS setup, where the settings for your BIOS reside? I've never heard of them being on F10.

What is your mobo make/model?

 

[ToxicXGL]

I have a HP pavilion p6310f pc I don't really know the motherboard to well but when I tired to get into bios of gave. Me That picture and now I don't know what I should do

 

[gregrocker]

Pavilions use different keys F1, F2, F10, F12. Have you used F10 before so you know it is the correct key?

If so it appears to have lost it's hotkey to the BIOS.

 

[ToxicXGL]

Yes everytime you asked me to go into bios I would press f10

 

[ToxicXGL]

Now it is not doing anything it
Is just sitting and the boot up screen as I cant get into f10 setup, boot menus or anything

 

[gregrocker]

Turn it off for awhile then see if you can access BIOS.

When you installed the HD do you think you might have messed up something with the mobo, cables, etc which is shorting the mobo? Can you go over it closely? Did the shop look over this?

 

[ToxicXGL]

The shop basically did nothing they don't know anything and what do you mean by install the HD is their a disk I can use or somthing was one supposed to come with it?
