    Dell customizable desktop

    Intel core i5-4590, NO McAfee, 8GB memory, Nvidia graphics card, No Dell backup and recovery basic, 1T hd, No systems management, No Windows 8 English OS recovery -dvd There are other things but they are minor. Some things I have no idea what they do.

    I am in the USA. I was on the Dell site for hours trying. As my message stated they do not let you fully customize. Thanks for responding.

    Dell customizable desktop

    I'm from the old school where Dell would let you customize your desktop. Now I have to take whatever they offer. The precision will let you customize somewhat but not completely. Ex. I want a windows computer without windows 8. I want a 1tb HD and they only offer 500mb. They give you...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    I tried another monitor and nothing. I tried the "systemrecovercd" and it did nothing. I tried a "Knoppix live cd" and it did nothing. My knowledge of the connections of a MB is zero. I can pull items from the MB but I would have no idea what I am pulling. The MB is a h-Joshua-h61-uatx...

    Guess I'm going to have to junk the computer. If you guys are stumped then I don't have a prayer of fixing it.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Pardon me. I have two computers giving me trouble and I gave wrong information for the HP. There is NO beep at all on the HP. I also tried another keyboard and there was no change that I could see. I tried cntr/alt/delete and this did not shut off the computer. I am plugging the keyboard...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Clonezilla-live will NOT work on the computer that I can't boot into. I have no ram that I can test on the failed computer.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    The beeps are about 1 second long and 1 beep about every other second. Yes I understand. I tried PcLinuxOS and nothing happened. The DVD blinked a few times and stopped. Thank you.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    If I have an add in video card, HP put it in the computer when I bought it. I tried to get a Linux boot cd but they all seemed to come with an OS, which I don't want to mess up whatever is left on my HD. How can I get a Linux boot cd?

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Not a sold tone. A never ending series of short beeps. One of piece of information that might help: I use Clonezilla-live to back up my HD. It starts cold and boots into Clonezilla-Live. Clonezille-live will not boot on this computer. Fans are working. Don't have the vaguest how to check...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Thanks guys for helping. I swapped monitors and it made no difference. The computer beeps continuously until I hit F1. I have taken the battery out for a couple of minutes and it made no difference. I also went out and bought a new battery and that made no difference. At this point I am...

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Looks like "Easy Recovery Essentials" by Neosmart might do the job. Only problem is it's a tad pricy to use just once - $20. AND I am not absolutely sure it will fix my computer.

    can't boot windows 7 pro 64-bit

    Thank you for replying Eulogy. I don't know what a "post" screen is but my monitor is black if that is what you mean. I can not get into BIOS or anything else. I do not use Linux.

    I have a HP pavilion p7-1380t. (about 2 years old) I have tried all suggestions found on the web and none work. Have tried various boot up programs and they don't work. When I boot up here is what I see: black screen, mouse only flashes for a second, "F" keys do nothing, DVD flashes for a...

    Maybe a motherboard problem

    Thanks for your help. I removed the PT628. I removed the CMOS battery for an hour then plugged it back in. Lights come on in the front of the computer, the monitor light is on, I see the dvd player blinking and NOTHING else. Can't access BIOS. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a new battery but...
