I have an HP Pavillion 522n (bought 8/02) that doesn't seem to want to completely turn on. When I turn power on I can hear things whirling away but the monitor's power light switches from green to orange and it seems that the computer stops trying to boot. The monitor remains blank. If I turn off the computer, wait, and then turn it back on (I usually have to repeat this at least 6 times) the computer eventually completes booting. When we first bought the computer the monitor won't turn on and we were told that the RAM was improperly installed. I reinstalled the RAM which solved that problem. Once we were able to turn on the computer we ran into a problem with a bad harddrive. The harddrive was replaced (10/02) and the the problems seemed to have gone away. I've tried reinstalling the RAM and even moving it to the second slot, this hasn't helped. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.
Thanks.
