Hey,
I'm using win 8.1 on HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1105dx. the PC crashed and was stuck and did not boot. I tried safe ode and oter options but agin the boot did not process. I backed up my data and ran System recovery. as i had no recovey point i had to go for system refresh. I was goin fine. After copying files the PC booted several times loading the drivers and then finally got stuck in the startup. Secondly, it was giving a periodic beep at a reguar interval and the screen was blank for about an hour. This is where it all went wrong. I iterrupted the sequence and preseed the power button. the PC was then stuck giving " 0xc0000034 "Boot Configuration Data file missing required information" while booting". Since then I'e tried booting in Ms dos performing CHKDSK, correcting errors, Then running
- bootrec /fixmbr
- bootrec /fixboot
- bootrec /rebuildbcd
these were successful........
Now the PC boots and is stuck at the blaack start screen with HP logo. I donot have a recovery drive or cd/DVD. All stuck up here. It has been two days now and everything seems useless. Need help.

Sounds like I have the same problem. My loading screen started and froze. The only thing it would do was a forced shutdown. When I turned it back on, it said the system resume failed. It gave me two options, 1. continue with resume or 2. delete restoration information and told me to use the arrows to highlight my choice but none of the keys worked. Again, the only thing would do was a forced shutdown. I hit Esc to get the start menu, and that worked, but then it froze again.
I have a HP Pavilion dv7
Model # dv7-3165dx
Update: I guess all I had to do was let it sit for a few minutes to cool down. I got the start menu working and have it running tests now.
