Do these first: turn off computer remove battery and ac adapter if plugged in then press and hold power button for 10 seconds
> After doing this put the battery back and ac adapter then try to turn on computer if it gives you the same thing, you may need to reseat your rams or memory module
> if you are not that familiar with doing the rams get a help, if still having problems there might be a problem on the mainboard

HP Pavilion ze2308wm laptop won't boot up

It could be the memory modules (RAM). Get the information from those RAM sticks (manufacturer) and replace them with new ones to see if that solves the issue, if not then maybe the hard drive, and if it's neither of those, I hate to say it, but it sounds like a bad motherboard :(

Trying to reformat my PC but can't get into BIOS set up.

Hey,

Seems the screen is slow to start up, right after pressing the power button, keep tapping on f1 or f10 untill the bios screen or something else comes up. that will definitely get you into the bios and dont mind if the computer starts to beep, slow down a little and keep tapping.

Thanks,
Ekse
