HP DV5000 CRASHES ON STARTUP

‎11-08-2009 05:58 AM

My HP DV5000 (XP) has been crashing frequently but two weeks ago, it starting shutting down on startup with no option to bypass.

 

I tried booting with safe mode but it doesn't seem to be able to load up windows.  After a few minutes of looping through the booting cycle, it turns itself off.

 

Unfortunately, my CD drive doesn't work either. 

 

Now, all i want to do is rescue my files from my HD if all fails.  Can anyone help?

 

Thanks,

Aki

Same here,

Luckily I have the Sitecom - USB-IDE/SATA combo Adapter to check my harddisk contents... but the problem remains the same. My laptop doesn't start up and hangs in a loop.

good luck. If I get an answer, I will contact you.
