if you have anti-virus software pop the CD in and boot from it.  this will provide you with a basic virus scan.  While I cant be sure if this is virus related or not its worth a shot.\n\ntry the different safe mode options.  most notably, try the safe mode with command prompt.  to get these options press F8 repeatedly while your computer is booting up.\n\ntry loading to a previous known configuration.\n\nif your system came with recovery disks try using them.  it will copy over essential windows files.  on newer machines it can also attempt to reconstruct corrupt or lost data based on previous working configurations and what can be gathered from the "live" files.\n\ntry inserting your windows installation CD and running a repair installation.  WARNING: this will delete any files that are on your desktop and My Documents folders.  You will also lose the links to everything in your start menu and will have to manually create the shortcuts to the programs.

There should be a "Pause Break" button above your PageUp button.  On boot up you can hit that to freeze the screen.

Restart the machine.\n\nIf it stills boots into safe mode, restart again and hit F8 a few times.  This will bring up the boot menu.  Select Normal

You probably have to put your PC into system recovery (non-destuctive) mode.And your windows application will be restored.

The problem is not because of updating the bios. Updating the bios does not removes start  up program. Have you installed any other program?

This is typical when a system has been affected by some malicious software (virus/worm/Trojan). The fix for that is actually reload your system. If you have done a backup of your system you can then restore it to that state. \n\nOnce done be sure to download all security updates provided by Microsoft. I would also recommend that you load a personal virus scan application like Norton or McAfee.\n\nNow if this a new system (within the last two years) on the boot splash screen you should have an option on the bottom of the screen (F10 or F12) to restore Windows, this is a lot easier than finding your OEM disk that should have come with your laptop to restore your system.

Have you installed any new hardware or software after which the problem started occuring.  You can probably try using the Safe Mode booting option to verify it.  In order to boot into the safe mode, follow the steps mentioned below:\n\n1.Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you the Boot Menu appears.\n2.Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.\n3.When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.\n\nAfter booting into the safe mode, uninstall any new software that you may have installed or revert the system to the last stable operating point using the System Restore feature (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.\n\nIf you are unable to boot in the safe mode, probably there is some hardware issue.  Check whether the computer fans are working.  Open the computer cabinet and check if there is any dust or dirt clogged in the fan.  Switch off the computer and try cleaning it.  If nothing works, call tech support for your computer manufacturer.

Did you start with a new O/S install after the upgrade? You need to advise the exact model number to have this question answered beyond looking at support.hp.com

Make a bootable cd rom and see if it boots on that.\n\nYou can even try a non-Windows OS (gasp!)\n\nLastly you could try to flash the Bios

Few things to try \n\nTry entering safemode - usually tapping the f5 key when starting up - then select safemode - \nif this works and you get a display - go into the device manager (press the windows icon button plus the pause break key - then select hardware > device manager) \nclick on the plus next to the display adaptors - highlight your display adaptor then right click on it and uninstall)\nrestart your conputer and see if this helps\n\nif you enter safemode and the display switches off - try entering the bios - when you get the splash screen it should tell you which key to press (enter setup)  \ndoes your screen go blank in this - if so you have a hardware problem -\n\nif you can check your setting within the bios - load the optimised defaults or defaults and try again\n\ngive this a go and good luck\n\n\nPS - also try a ATX reset -\nremove your battery and the power cable from your laptop \npress and hold the power button in for about 30 seconds - this will remove any static build up on the MOBO\nPower back on and see if this works

It happens, just go to 'my computer', then find the drive and double click, it will then start up. It can get annoying but windows is lame so what do you expect?
