round and round

hello my problem is that when i turn on my computer,it keeps doing a shut down then starts up over again. it doesn't even get to the windows screen;my computer is a hp pavillion dv6000. i have tried a hardstart etc but no use.is there a way to fix this problem please help need to get it running. :cry:cry:confused

 

The first thing i would do is pull the motherboard battery out for a few minutes with the power cord unplugged, then put it back in and see if it will at least post. Let us know what takes place. ed

 

tryed your suggestion didn't work, do you have any more thoughts on how to fix this problem!

 

Unhook everything, hard drives, cd roms, try to get motherboard to post with nothing hooked up, remove memory, try one stick at a time, let us know. ed

 

like the post but my computer is a laptop hp dv6000. put more memory in it i still have the same problem!

 

where is the mother board battery located and if this doesn't work what are my other chooses?

 

How far does it boot up? Does windows attempt to start?

 

doesn't get that far it shows a black screen,i hear it trying to start then it cut off and tries to start again.it does this a few times then it may or may not start up.

 

Can you hear the cpu fan running when its trying to start up.? ed

 

yes i hear the fan when i start up and my keyboard light i hear the hard drive making nosie too!

 

Your power supply may be the issue. It might also be the CPU overheating. Make sure the CPU heat sink and fan are firmly attached to the motherboard. If that's not it then I would try another power supply. If you have changed/installed hardware recently it could be that the motherboard is touching the case and causing the shutdown.

 

Holiday was like me, didnt realize this is a laptop, try hitting f2 or what ever your numbers are to get into bios,[setup] , if it does post, set bios to defaults and try again. ed

 

yes i tried to get to the bio but it still keeps restarting,are there any more suggestion to get me pass this restart. got me going crazy with this.this is a laptop.

 

Try putting a bootable cd or dvd in the drive and see if it will boot from it, last resort you can reinstall windows. ed

 

A friend of mine had the same issue as you which started with the wireless connection going and eventually over a period the same start sympton occured. HP have have BIG probs with this notebook and one of the commenest was a fault in the Nvidia Graphics card which was overheating and causing all sorts of problems. I do hope you have some warranty left on it. Dont want to alarm you but have a read here............
