Hard drive has failed.

The monitor is not receiving any signal from the PC. When you push the power button ON, is there any activity on the PC (LEDs on, power supply fan, etc) or it's just dead ? In this case, yes, the first thing to check is the power supply.

Hi, by drives are you referring to your floppy, harddisk and CD ROM or just the CD ROM? Since you indicated that you can go to My Computer, I am assuming your HD is working and booting to Windows but your CD won't read inserted discs. You may want to try and uninstall the CD, (Right click My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Managemr, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right click on your CDROM, uninstall). Reboot the machine and see if XP auto detects and re-install. Assuming that the CD ROM has no hardware problem, then it should work. Should this fail, you may want to try to force your registry to restore your CD (Be careful, there are risks involved). This requires that you edit your Registry after of course backing it up. Should you feel comfortable doing this, the procedure and registry entry can be found at http://www.theeldergeek.com/restore_missing_cd_or_dvd_drive.htm. Hope this work out for. Kind regards.

Appears that recovery disk #2 is bogus. U can try to get a new set from HP (fat chance!) or you can do a reload from a normal, retail OS disk.

Hello Most laptop or PCs, has a combination keyboard pressing keys, that invoque the restore routine. usually F11 or F10. others has DVD, check and see what you have of these two. in the first one, you recover from a disk partition the whole OS.

Its all about go to HP page, and bios updates, the instructions are there too! but be aware you have to be more specific on model, and BIOS dates.

You may have a virus, malware, adware, a browser hijacker, or pups (potentially unwanted programs). A. If your computer will boot and you can operate it ok... Download and install Malwarebytes and Superantispyware (Note: If you can\'t do the download on your machine, do it on a friend\'s, put them on a thumb drive, and install them from it). Then scan your computer with each program, and quarantine anything found. B. If your computer won\'t boot, or can\'t operate properly after boot... Tap F8 when you are booting, select "Safe Mode With Networking". Download and install Malwarebytes and Superantispyware (Note: If you can\'t do the download on your machine, do it on a friend\'s, put them on a thumb drive, and install them from it). Then scan your computer with each program, and quarantine anything found. C. If this process finds malware, to keep stuff like that from coming back, I recommend you get the paid version of Malwarebytes.Good luckG

If the fan making a smooth spin, but the noise is too loud, then it means the fan is trying to dissipate the heat. Probably the air inlet and or the air outlet (also the fan itself) is dirty (or clogged) and you need to clean it up using a canned air. You may need to open the case/body if the dust become a dust ball (and you need a tweezer and qtip to pickup the dust ball and clean up the fan blades).

Ask The People Who Work At HP To Find Out !

if u r listening extra vibration sound with actual sound just change speakers

try using a can of Air Duster on the bottom of CP57 where your fan is located to clean out the heatsink allowing your system to stay on and figure out the issue.

no proberly not,you should never do so.i understand you wan't to add moore memory (RAM)windows 32x can only handle max 4 GB.windows 64x 8-12 GB.invest in some new memory (RAM) that's best.

If you boot to safe mode is it the same? What proceeded this issue? Any damage? Updates? Overheating?
