R51 Won't boot to desktop

[Adrut]

Have now tried (since no important data on the laptop are available) to reinstall WindowsXP easy. But when I insert the Windows CD is the message. Searching for Boot Record from CDROM. Not Found , Boot Failure Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device press any key when ready. The AMIBIOS Setup Advaced but with both the hard disk drive and the DVD appears. R51 Won't boot to desktop That is: Could it be that the BIOS on its own, inexplicably, not in a position to boot, too, Please call for solutions to the laptop to start up again

Before i too had these problems I had 4 or 5 times a strange problem that I had never had before. it happened when I was playing fable. at a time, I have a bug graphics, funny shapes appear and the game froze and the entire computer. I had to restart the computer by turning it off. Once I even had a blue screen telling me that there is a problem with "nvu4" or "NV4" I remember too well. I had this bug 4 or 5 times until I decided to abandon fable. And then, after that my computer has started, the screen went black suddenly and after the reboot.

Most probably it appears as the case of a virus infection so try scanning your system with a powerful antivirus application like the Microsoft Security Essential. This will definitely help you to get rid of this situation since the virus may have been using the memory. Hopefully the problem should be fixes as soon as you delete the viruses.

It remains the case of the laptop , more complex and therefore harder to troubleshoot. In this case, it is possible to test the proper operation of the hard drive, food, batteries and memory chips only. It is also possible to verify that the screen is not an issue if the laptop has a jack for connecting an external monitor (usually a connector VGA blue). It will suffice to plug a screen into the outlet and try to start the PC. Other possible faults on laptops are usually the motherboard and the connectors between the motherboard and hard drive or LCD.

If the LED lights sector .. LED or whatever it is that there is no power failure .. I always look for the CMOS (BIOS) maintained by the battery which could be totally a 0 volt? How old is this laptop? because this hypothesis would be the case if it would be at least 4 years approx. Try to find this battery and replaces the Ghost

I think you will now have to test all the hardware of the PC or by removing them one by one and trying to boot the PC if it can operate without (one memory module among others, a hard disk secondary, CD, DVD, floppy drive) or replacing them by others, either by testing it on another computer ( graphics card , hard drive , food , tablecloths IDE or SATA , etc.)

Here I have a Compaq (HP) presario dating from 2006, and this week's big concerns: the computer to boot at all, no LED lights, nothing, I plugged in, nothing Moreover, I board remove the battery and put back, and here it starts, then after a few minutes, he cut short. I do not feel that it comes from the battery, but if he started in security. Is this you can give me your opinion on this. Thank you in advance!
