Won't boot past the welcome menu when i turn it on

the fan on the CPU working? Try a different power supply the one you have might be faulty

Check BIOS boot options and assign local hard drive as first for faster boot. This is also where you set CD\DVD as first to boot from disc. Look for F Key press on start up. It will be shown on screen. These can vary.

Many HP machines also have a boot menu option during boot. Again an F key and may vary.

you can go to the BIOS setting? if you can,look for "Boot Device Priority" or something like that,it's usually placed on Advanced settings. Set the first boot device as your harddisk,save the settings and restart your computer
Please let me know if it's working or not

Windows won't start up? Well, try this Download Tenorshare Data Recovery from its offical site and install it. Burn it into CD/DVD, or USB flash, put into the computer you need to repair, Bios setting. It can make sure your important data will not lose. Best of luck

I had the same problem. I clicked on F2. in Bios screen I press f10 (save and exit), and windows started.

If this is under warranty take it back. If it isn't power the unit on with just the battery powering the unit. When you see the Windows splash screen drop the battery out after the screen goes black put the battery back in and press the power button. This should bring up the on screen menu telling you it failed to start or shut down correctly. Select, Boot in Safe Mode and see if the system will power on. If that fails you need to do a system restore. To access system restore options power the unit on and press and hold the F10 key, this will bring up the restore Windows options. From that menu select to restore your operating system. If that fails you will have to do a complete restore to factory default settings. If that fails you will have to replace the hard drive.

Upon boot up, press the F8 key and boot into safe mode.

Allow it to boot all the way into safe mode.

Once it finishes booting, then shutdown the computer normally.

Then, once off, turn it on again and allow it to boot up as usual.

Good luck

In my opinion I would reverse what was done in the video. if thats not possible I would do a comlete resotre of the o/s with your restore dvd or by pressing f11 or f10 on startup and follow the directions

One of an important file needed to boot up your laptop, or your hardware is loose. Try taking out the ram and putting it back in.
