Hi,
Shut down the notebook ( hold down the power button until the machine shuts down ). Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.
Can you also post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of your dv6 series notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 64bit ).

Hi,
Try the following.
First of all, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.
With reference to the link below, remove one of your memory modules ( Note: if you only have 1 memory module, try it in the other slot ) and then see if the notebook will boot. If it doesn't, try the same module, but in the other slot. If is still doesn't boot, try the other memory module in both slots, to see if any combination will allow the notebook to start.
The procedure for removing these modules is detailed starting on Page 66 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

DP-K
