Yes, and maybe.How's that for a clear, concise answer?When using the Restoration Disk, or a fresh new Installation Disk; if there are bad sectors you will be advised that CHKDSK, is about to run. (Or instructed to use CHecKDiSK, and how)CHKDSK will then see if there are good sectors that it can move info over to, OR; you will be advised that you have an irreparable hard disk. (Harddrive)Reformatting is using the Restoration Disk, or Full Installation disk; and when asked choose Full Install.(Destructive Installation)Do NOT click on Format in ANY other way.USE the Restoration Disk, or Full Installation disk.(Otherwise you will wipe the harddrive clean, and you do NOT want to do this)For additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

One thing I wish you to know right off of the bat;When Windows is installed on a computer, it assigns hash values to certain major hardware components;1) Processor2) Motherboard chipset3) Harddrive4) BIOS program, version, and date5) Graphics chipsetChange any two of these components, and Windows will 'think' it is being stolen.'Thinks' the Windows program that has been installed on that computer, is being removed, and installed on another computer.Microsoft User's License states, "One GENUINE copy of Windows per ONE computer"[Microsoft makes a Master disk of a Windows operating system. From it all GENUINE copies are made, and sold to the consumer]IF, you are LUCKY, the Windows activation screen will come up.IF not, (Which is MOST of the time), you need the Restoration Disk, or a new GENUINE copy of Windows.You are upgrading the motherboard. (GOOD for you! You rock!)You will be changing at least the motherboard chipset, and BIOS program. (And version, and date)Just wanted you to be aware.Got all your ducks in a row, don't need the above info?Let's continue;I know you do not need this info, but IMHO you are wasting money, in buying a MicroATX form factor motherboard.(Yes, I know it is what is required to fit that computer case)Why?Because of the limited space inside the computer case. MicroATX form factor motherboard, is usually installed in a MicroATX form factor computer case.Such is the case with the Pavilion a6645f Verde Desktop PC,1) http://www.geeks.com/largePic_all.asp?invtid=FQ424AA-PB-R&pic=FQ424AA-PB-R-soft.jpg2) Motherboard Specifications,http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01357135&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=3820313#N50The photo of the motherboard is upside down, in relation to how it sits in the computer case. See how the 4-pin ATX +12 Volt power cable is in the way?http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#atx12v4See the Electrolytic Capacitors on the left side?(Right side when installed in the computer case)Radial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors,http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/electronic-components/capacitive-products/leaded-electrolytic.aspxSee the audio ports square metal body to the left, above the Electrolytic Capacitors? (Orange and Blue ports)Limits;1) The size of the graphics card. General consensus is the longer the graphics card, the more graphics 'power' the card has.Sounds dumb I know, but look at the average length of high power PCI Express graphics card, that pack a graphics 'wallop' (10 -1/2 inches, and longer)Also the thickness of the graphics card. 2) Micro-ATX computer case cuts down needed air flow, to the cooling components inside the computer case.I know you are stating you are going to change, and upgrade the motherboard, but generally all of the MicroATX motherboards, follow the basic setup of that Asus M2N68-LA motherboard.If I were going to spring for a better motherboard, and graphics card, I would also spring for an economical full size computer case too.One example,http://www.directron.com/cs888uvbl.htmlNot what I asked for joecoolvette. I understand. Thank you for letting me post a constructive argument.To go on;The Asus M2N68-LA motherboard has an AM2+ processor socket.Supports AMD processors that use an AM2+ processor socket.It also supports DDR2 Sdram ram memory that operates at 667MegaHertz, or 800MHz.(PC2-5300 and PC2-6400, respectively)If you are going to replace the motherboard, you probably want to use the same Processor, and Ram Memory. ('Natch)A) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Biostar-TA785GE-AM2-AM2-AM3-AMD-TA785GE-128M-Motherboard-/140808779966?pt=Motherboards&hash=item20c8db78beNOT an advertisement for website, nor seller.Solid Polymer capacitors used for the processor motherboard voltage regulator circuit. (Which is part of the motherboard voltage regulator circuit)Supports AM2, AM2+, and AM3, AMD processors.Supports DDR2 Sdram at 667MHz, or 800MHz.Supports SATA harddrivesSupports IDE (PATA) or SATA optical drivesDo I think it will just drop right in? When you are referring to a pre-built computer manufacturer case, and an after market motherboard? Maybe yes, maybe no.It does come with it's own I/O shield.(Input/Output area on the back of the computer, is where the Mouse, Keyboard, audio ports, etc., is mounted.The I/O shield is the thin metal plate that surrounds them)Will it fit? Maybe. Will the expansion slots on the motherboard, (2 - PCI, 1 PCI-Express x16), line up with the expansion slots in the computer case? Maybe.Just one example. There are more around.(Buying from Ebay. Just stating some examples in case Ebay is one of your choices. This seller indicates will not ship to outside the USA. No returns or exchanges.29 sales. 100 percent feedback.If it were me I would look for a motherboard with Buy It Now, and a good return policy. Just saying )It is tough to find a decent motherboard, that has a processor socket that will support an AM2+ processor, the correct processor Front Side Bus, (FSB), and 667 or 800MHz DDR2 ram memory, AND is a MicroATX form factor.Everything is going to DDR3 Sdram, and is usually an ATX form factor motherboard.For additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

change your power supply to 600 or higher coz video card needs high power to perform at its best

delete and reinstall your email software.

desktop or laptop. ? external Keyboard or internal

no pc told, Pavilion means zerothat name is is used on desktops and laptops for agesthe HP has diagnostics so run those. HP.com tells how.not told desktop or laptops. just 1 word."Screen"first Pavilion was 1995

HP.COM << go there. And ask a real question ,you did not.

learn to google mate. this is no secret,gee millions sold. A6Y530A the partsurfer shows true model, and fails this is the only post here ever asking for reverse code lookups on models fake, and is not easy in vast cases I guess you have no such PC, (look like) so why ask this>? what prompted this quest>? not told why not ask seller for photos of it if this is a pre sales question , is it>? google and bing and HP all show that model # is BOGUS so go back to your sell and ask the we can not guess PCs ever. HP product ID# is best on the service tag for SURE. where did you see this number, not told. or that number is some 20+ year old COMPAQ PC ,lost in the sands of time, and no google hits. you posted to HP forum, (not real) Hp.com is real

what does not working mean (KBD) dead, or 1 key bad or row. what? symptoms matter most, for sure in a LAPTOP IS IT the word Pavilion is on laptops and desktop, dig? G mean zero , the service tag does not just say "G" sorry. easy peasy lemon squeezy HP.com complex URL no? go there tell them your model # or better the service tag code ! . then magically HP puts you on YOUR service support page and all manuals and all driver before your eyes. amazing no? NO told at all or of a laptop or desktop or what./? you posted ANON so I can't just read other posts by you to learn what PC this is , no I can not. there are over 100 PC called G series, and vast years. some PCs by them G1 to 7 are generations, like HP Pavilion g6-1029tx Notebook. if you can find the service tag the product ID # is what matters most this code includes (real model, version , options and country sold) see this, older PCs by them had this. see that , all matters but do not post SN/ or service codes in public. mine: procuct code (nnnnnnABA#) https://www.pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag-elite8540w.JPG I will guess it is 17" laptop, here is the mess just that 1 sized once you see this you know that G series means not MUCH> https://search.brave.com/images?q=hp+G+series++pavilion++17%22+G&source=web

old PCs do that, for many reasons. but no PC told at all just HP. 40 years of PCs ,10000 + models nobody can guess ever. but I do have the answer, in pure generic form. did you buy the PC like that used and bad Wifi. ?

1. the wifi card is missing, as was super common 10+ years ago.
2. someone put in the wrong card, not from HP list
3. HP blacklists (bios blocks) none HP cards (wifi)
4. the card needs a driver to work if not it is dead or 1/2 dead.
5. the PC needs 1 more driver to make the wifi buttons all work , all buttons related, if not they are dead or act odd.
6. The OS is infected, no OS told at all, not one clue nor if upgraded the OS, and not vast drivers are wrong or missing, (classic)

Im sure this this is not the free w10 upgrade, if it was that too kills drivers dead, for sure HP told you this unstated PC will not run W10 and has zero support from HP, on w10 AS YOUR SUPPORT PAGE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU AT HP.COM

today there are many PDF , Viewers not juts Adobe ! google finds them like this. https://www.google.com/search?q=pdf%20viewers

bad news now your bricked it just like miillions did google bios update bricked my PC and cry. why are you here and not at HP.com only they can recover bios. they changed the rules now 10 time. so only they know this, and are pain to deal with. UEFI is the enemy here, new rule and regressive as can be. in fact all new PCs can not be regressed, and some old now they even delete the 20 version of bios there, to force that. not saying they did that to your PC, but keep that in your head on all HP PC. the last bios upgrade stated, no going back. the Cntrl_+B might work , the flashback bios trick\ in your manual if you read it.

nobody can we erase all and reload the OS fresh. did not say you can not try but that 99 out 100 will fail.

100% dead black screen no text or HP SPLASH screen now. The problem is hardware where we buy hardware for free, less than at deity level or a thief. you tell me.... no PC told at all not one tiny clue of 1000s of HP models for 4decades are we to guess models and lie to you? now the GENERIC answer USA PCs only sorry I do not do others. fans dead? no beeps> codes no Caps lock key blink codes. no text errors.? 1: does PC run BIOS pages if huge now shorted old relic battery is removed ,yes bingo 1. 2: is the RTC coin cell dead, ,Bingo 2. a $1 uSD ,USA cost. here. 3: the pre 2010 all have bad CCFL lamps; do this flash light test? https://www.pcdied.com/monitors_and_screens/flash-light-trick.html#flashlighttest if yes, that is a $50 to $100 USD parts repair , labor more. repairs are serial process, as fixing one thing bad ,uncovers the next this is how mans machines work just like that. NO PC told, NO PC told,NO PC told,NO PC told,NO PC told,NO PC told,NO PC told, all I can do is BEG,

hp.com go there tell what PC it is (above is wrong, you truncated it) only full model names and number all work. or use your service tag number.

DEAD ZONE IS THAT A PC GAME OR just means in a quandary. yes, is he answer. wifi zone dead, move closer to the router. bingo. WIFI YOU MEAN, "SPECIFICALLY" not Bluetooth or WWLAN 5G. sure. BLUE, I GUESS YOU MEAN YOUR CABLE MODEM IS BLUE LED GLOWING?, well , there are 100s of routers and modems now, even mixed. to 1. yes if the modem LED show connection is good that means it is. but does not mean he PC is ok , nor the router nor the DNS setting best is, call your ISP if all PCs fails and home if only one fails on wifi the say so and we fix just that one failing PC. or reset the router and modem if all fail.

1. first do the modem , pull the AC power pack from modem
2. replace in a minute or 2,
3. the wait for modem to show all good LED CONDTIONS.
4. THEN DO THE SAME ON THE ROUTER.
5. DO NOT PUSH ANY RESET BUTTONS OR BAD HAPPENS.

The ISP will tell 1-5 and does to every caller. endlessly ISP means internet service provider,

are you locked out of VISTA desktop, not told?????? yes that is a vista option, but not by default ever. we can not see your screen to see the truth. there are 7 layers (or more) on any modern PC, even fingerprint reader. learn to post a photo of any screen you see , that fails. even use cell phone to do that and magic happens , truth. no PC told at all, 4 decades of them back to compaq HP days. vista means jan 2007 made PC if came new like that. yes one can set VISTA (any windows) to expire soon. but that is not the default ever. if someone did that to you the answer is simple. control panel + users change it. or read this, https://www.top-password.com/blog/turn-off-password-expiration-in-windows-8-7-vista-xp/
