vista boot problem

[toms]

hi

I have HP Pavilion TX1308AU running vista 32bit OS

 

actually, one day, my laptop don't want to boot.

when I press power button, my laptop only show light indicators and nothing splash on the screen.

But sometimes, when I hard reset it, it goes booting.

 

it happens many times and I got stressed, yes :(

 

I already check my disk for bad sector

defragmented it

update my OS

 

and yes, sometimes it happens again

 

one day, I tried to restore my OS using recovery disk supplied by HP

and yes, everything goes normal (for a while) :mad:

it happened again now

sigh

 

please help me!

Hi Toms and welcome to fpch.

 

This could be related to the RAM.

Locate the modules - they will be positioned under a panel on the underside of your machine - clean the connections with a pencil eraser and, if you have 2 modules, try it with just one.

Your machine will run a little slower but I want to confirm if you have a problem with one of the modules.

If you get the same problem, swap the modules over and try again.
