Hello. My HP Pavilion dv 6000 laptop was working fine, until one day, after starting it up, it shut down before windows completely load. Now when I press the start botton, there is no response from the laptop. WHat could have caused this?

when u turn on your laptop press F8 and hold find the 1 that says last know configuration ok try that

Hello, You can download them for free from HP support website. If you have windows xp installed on your laptop, try this link:Windows XP Drivers
If you have windows vista installed, then try this one: Windows Vista Drivers
Good luck!
Thanks, Lolita

Is heatsink connected to this problem? (sic) Most probably not, it is more than likely a simple Driver problem. Try to startup in SAFE MODE, press F8 at boot time. If this works you could run a "System Restore" back to a time before it went faulty. Or troubleshoot from safe desktop.

you could have accidently changed to external monitor with Fn +F(the number is 8 on my comp but could be 5 on yours-check keys on top of the keyboard it has a picture rectangle / little TV), anyways to check that attach external monitor to your laptop(must have a VGA cable) if you have a picture on external monitor try Fn + F(depends on what you have on ur keyboard) it should bring you a window with choices to choose laptop LCD or external LCD choose 1st one .
hope that is it.

Try lowering your display settings when it is hooked up to the external monitor. Then try the laptop screen again.
Right click an open area of the desktop, select properties, click the display tab. In the lower left of the box there is a settings slider, try lowering the settings and see if it gets better.

sir, This is the rare problem. This the cause of a computer virus. For this you need to format the system. I would suggest you to please take it to the near service center, they would format as well as a strong antivirus they will install to it.

Restart the system holding down f11 key to run system restore to factory default setting. Remember to backup your documents

Rate this dear

may be due to internal boot failur or malius software

I had this kinda problem solved on a Acer 5920 LAptop. The webcam driver was the culprit. Remove the cam driver for the same, the windows driver will take over and then i guess it will work fine. I figure its a driver issue or a TSR program not quitting. If this fails try uninstalling recently addes program or driver.

It sounds like something is overheating to me. Also, it could be a bad motherboard. Try putting your laptop on a hard surface. I carnt stress this enough. Also, you can try cleaning out the laptops cooling vents with some compressed air (you can get it at pcworld). At the end of the day and it still wont work, send it in for repair. Good luck
