My laptop is fucked up
#1

I have a HP Pavilioin dv7, and it's OS is Windows 7.

the problem is, that when I start up my computer, it has that HP logo, but then it turns all black.

I have tried booting and system restore, nothing is working, anyone have ideas to fix this?

I think their was actually a topic here discussing all the new HP computers failing after a while.

there was a topic about that yes, but that was way after I bought my laptop. I had this laptop since about January.

Well you should be covered under warranty than.

Lets hope I still have it, though I hope my hard drive doesn't need to be cleared or replaced. I really need things that are on it.

The fact that it goes all black doesn't really give me an indication of what it could be, If it was somehow a hard drive failure there are data recovery techniques and stuff if it has really important data. This is why its good to backup all you're important files on a USB drive as I've had the same kind of stuff happen before. Did you check BIOS at all to check if your hard drive is showing up?

No, I haven't tried BIOS yet, I'll do that now.

EDIT: I have the bios showing up, but what am I suppose to really look for in it?

Man... i had a HP computer and the OS is soo fucked and the funny think is i didn't even do anything to it, and it was only 2 years old. Id go with IBM computer, best and the most reliable in my case.

Yeah, well I don't really have enough to buy another, plus this is not a very old computer...which worries me.

I'd be curious to see if you're HDD is set to boot or if it is even being detected.
