Hi @fichek ,

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your Compaq Presario CQ61 Notebook and getting just the fans on startup. Try performing a hard reset.


When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.


Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 7.

 

Have you connected the Notebook to a monitor? Here is a document on how to connect to a monitor if you need it.

 

You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue with the fans.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks.
