Bought a second hp envy 700-214 desktop pc. This one had win. 10. Had everything ready to install win. 7 . New hdd, dvd. It seems that whatever was done to this pc, it was made to not allow me to get win. 7 installed. I finally went in to bios & changed settings. Now, when I boot on I get 5 beeps & no display. I removed ram, battery, graphics card, all at different stages trying to diagnose what the problem was. I finally realized that the bios changes were the issue.
On these motherboards, I cannot find a cmos, bios reset or clear anywhere. There is a bios config. tucked in a very hard to reach area,but there are no pins or jumper? I found cmos power with the jumper. I tried resetting that way. No luck. I've interchanged my ram, & graphics from my other hp-envy. Nothing works. Now, I'm going to take battery out completely & reboot, If that doesn't work, I'm going to try exchanging battery from other pc.
Help, lol
I realize not many people care anymore about win. 7 or older pc's, but, I have all the updated stuff. I just want to keep this, as this was the easiest & best for my everyday use. And win. 10 doesn't have the option to transfer. I actually detest win. 10.
Now, support for me will stop soon everywhere. Safe to say I'm fairly disgusted & know I'm not alone.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
