Do you have a Windows Recovery Disc? You can use that to repair your boot manager.

Yes most all PC's can be "Fixed" it is just a case of parts and money. http://www.retrevo.com/support/HP-DV5-1140-Laptops-manual/id/23082bh634/t/2/

Ok perform a system restore, press F8 at bootup and choose safe mode desktop, when you are asked if you want the safe mode desktop or system restore, choose restore, and when ask if you want restore or desktop choose restore, restore to a time BEFORE the driver up date and follow instructions and reboot, you should be back where you were.Or start up in safe mode desktop, at desktop, go device manager and "Roll back" the driver. reboot, should be OK




You will have to troubleshoot and find out where the fault is. Here is what I do….. First, check the Power is ON, cable is OK and IN PC, Then open PC up, and remove all power connections from everything EXCEPT the Motherboard Connector.(s) (Remember where they go, draw a diagram etc) Power the computer up, and does it switch on? NO, Then, remove the RAM, does it Boot up? YES Faulty RAM, replace. If it still does NOT then your Power Supply Unit is probably Faulty.(But it may be the motherboard) either way we need to test more with a known good power supply. With know good PSU, plug this one into the Motherboard Connection(s). Does it work, YES. Problem Solved. OK back to Frst: Because it DID go the PSU WAS OK, The MB was OK & the RAM was OK, Now then we plug in each of the other Items, DVD Hard Drive, etc, etc. One-at-a-time, until we find the one that stops the PSU. (It has protection and will "Shutdown in event of a fault") The one that stops the PSU is your culprit, replace whatever it is.

Click Start- search "device"- click device manager- select"+" -ACPI FIXED, Right click, select uninstall -then Restart.

Once restarted, Right click on the taskbar, near the notification icons in the bottom right of the screen. Press properties. At the bottom of the popup are 'System icons', and check the Power icon, and try one last restart.

You cannot see HD because there are no apropriate SATA drivers included in windows XP CD. So you need to create custom windows XP installation CD

To install windows XP in that laptop u will need to create custom windows XP CD, how will you do that:

1. Download nlite from http://www.nliteos.com/
2. Download drivers for that laptop
3. Download service pack 3 for windows XP
4. Install nlite for windows XP and run
5. Follow instructions and include SP3 for XP, all the drivers for laptop and create ISO Image
6. Burn ISO Image
7. Install Windows XP
8. Good Luck
   

Ok. Then you can Factory Restore your PC. Doing this, as you very well know, will remove all data and put your PC in a state which it was in when you bought it.

1. Restart your PC(or turn it on)
2. Fit F11(or anything that relates to recovery)
3. Cancel the AutoDetect if it starts up
4. When you land on the screen with a window that has quite a few options in it, look for one that reads Factory Restore/Recovery.
5. Choose the option and wait for your PC to be restored.

This option is automated and really quick.
When you log in to your windows again, check if it is possible to make a recovery disc. If so, please get one done. This will help if your recovery partition goes for a toss. Let me know if you need more detail or help. If your problem is resolved, please rate.

Hi:
You most likely have a bad hard drive, and a disk set is not going to help you, though you will need it too.
What you need is a new hard drive, a copy of all the drivers for your laptop, which you can download for free from HP. If HP won't send you a copy of the recovery disk, you can use any OEM copy of the same operating system that your laptop has a sticker for, but you won't have all of your programs.

Did you inadvertently move the task bar below the bottom of the screen per chance?

If you are plugged in, the battery icon will be replaced with a plug.

If you need addidtional help with this, let me know. I want to help you

It just could be in an enviroment that is too hot. Try using the laptop on a cool flat surface that does not block the vents in any way while in use. If the problem still persists you have 2 options, 1. Upgrade to a better heatsink/fan unit, or 2. Spend $20-30 on one of those laptop cooling pads and use it whenever you use the laptop. Hope this helps.

Make sure you don't have any discs on DVD rom or CD rom. if you don't , uplug comp. from outlet, remove the battery, press and hold power button for about a min..reconnect it to electricity and power back on...If it does not work, respond to me.

Check on the manufacturer website for a driver update for video card.

if hp dont have solution for that my advice is buy a laptop cooler or call HP to replace your computer, i was looking for the reviews and there are no negative reviews and hardware heating

which one is heating..the battery or the computer itself, you can check in hp web site if your computer and battery are in recall.

delete and reinstall your email software.

It depends what program you used to add it in the first place. Open the software and look for settings, or just uninstall it.

desktop or laptop. ? external Keyboard or internal
