COntinuous Reboot to HP Invent

‎01-28-2012 06:03 AM

I've exhausted my searches on this one. I have a Pavilion DV6-1334US.  Suddenly it won't boot, just continually resets to the HP Invent screen.  I can hit escape and get the menu, but the F11 restore function does not work.  I can get into BIOS, but that doesn't help.  I didn't have a WIN7 boot CD, so I made one from another machine(an Acer), and that will boot me to a menu.  I tried to do a System Restore and a System Image restore from the boot CD menu, but it doesn't seem to work.  I can access the data on the drive in a DOS window.  Is this something fixable, or is this a motherboard problem, which is my opinion.  I have a Square Trade warranty on this, so I need to make sure I exhausted my options before I have a professional try to service it.

 

I also tried connecting a working bootable drive from another laptop, and the system says to install a drive with an operating system, so it is not reading it.
