Hey everyone. Recently my laptop has developed a problem starting up. When I turn it on it will simply power on and nothing else, it will just sit there with the power on and and do nothing. Only after I power it on and off a few times will it actually start up into Windows. I have tried virus scans, spy-ware scans, and scanning the registry for issues, but that has not worked thus far. Whether its a software or hardware problem I do not know. By the way I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv2000. Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks for the welcome, and the help. Unfortunately it turns out I have the proper BIOS version already. I just sent an e-mail to HP to see if the can help me out.
