HP G70 with Vista, wont recover back to factory settings without Blue screening!!! Arghhhhhh

‎10-25-2009 03:29 AM

Hi All,

 

in need of help.

 

I was bought this laptop for my birthday in Feb... so it is still under warrenty.

 

I have already sent it back to HP once as I had a power supply issue and when it came back they changed my HDD!!! Which worked perfectly when it left! But never mind resolved now by giving a new power cord.

 

Now  a few months later it randomly starts blue screening after connecting it to my tv. Which i have done many times.

 

I tried everything ... fixing the registry, attempting to remove software etc.... (tuneup 2009 may have something to do with it) but couldnt in Safe mode

 

So resorted to System Recovery.

After many BSOD events  IRQL Not less than equal  or  page error types it still wont work.

 

I have tried it via recovery disks i made and by f11

 

The first few attempts using F11 - wouldnt get past the 1st bit of Reformating!

Then tried using the disks and 1st disk worked fine -  So Reformating accomplished but it then BSOD while trying to reinstal original content.

 

This is very frustrating and due to work comitments calling Support during the week is difficult!

 

Any suggestions... as right now I dont think i would ever buy HP again!!!!

 

K.

Have just tried to use the Recovery Disks again.

 

  • 1st disk worked fine
  • 2nd disk got to about 17% installing original software and then BSOD Event
 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xC18CB114, 0x00000001, 0x8C0E892E, 0x00000002)
I'm trying again... I have just gone into the bios and reset back to default settings to see if that helps.
