Hi,
My laptop seems to have a hardware issue, but I can't figure out what's going on.
A book fell smack on top of my laptop, and ever since the following happens. After a minute or 2 after starting, it will return a black screen and restart. This happens with two different internal harddrives that I swapped out, as well as with a recovery disk. One of the drives is a little faster in starting up than the other, and the system will actually boot. With the other drive, the system won't even get to booting up completely. I can't get into safe mode. I managed to start up completely once, and shut down successfully, but that didn't solve the problem.
So it doesn't seem to be a drive or software issue. What could be wrong here?
HP Pavilion DV6000 with Windows Vista home edition.
Thanks,
Henri
