Hey guys,
I've tried everything I can think of so help will be appreciated.
This is my bro in laws laptop.
He reported that he couldn't boot into windows.
So when I tested it out, it got stuck in 2 different spots
The Starting windows screen right after the bios and once it actually got into the log in screen but froze right there.
So I ran all the hp tests and they all passed.
I did a power cycle (took the battery out, flipped it over, held power for 40 secs but still nothing)
Can't boot into safe mode.
Tried ram sticks individually and in additional spots.
So i wanted to try and run the win 7 repair, tried booting from the windows cd and it again gets stuck on the starting windows 7 screen.
I thought maybe the hdd is bad so I unplugged the hdd and tried booting off the cd and still it won't get past the windows 7 screen.
What's going on here?
Mb failing?
Did I forget to try something obvious?
Help will be appreciated.
