Hi,

Great site, keep up the good work guys! Yea, so I've got this really cool HP laptop which I use for pretty much everything (from bank stuff to music to university work to movies). I'd be pretty stuck/lost without it.

Anyways, I've been having some issues with it lately, I think I remember putting it to sleep this evening and when I got back, the screen wouldn't work. I mean, I could tell it was working but the screen looked like it was "Off" (just black, not "On").

It's working now though, 2 shutdowns and 1 un-hibernate later.

My Question is: How do I stop this from happening again? And also, How do I stop the blue screen of death from appearing again?

Thank You

click start - control panel - power options - advanced disable the standy by options in there, you can choose hibernate instead or disbale it all completely....

So you are VERRRY clever and have figured out how to create the little Smiley - WELL DONE!

Instead of peppering your post with random, incoherent Smilies, try posting something of WORTH instead.

FYI the BSOD in Vista is a 'recoverable error' - it's the RED screen that is the system killer!

The HP DV7000 series suffered from overheating problems and troubles with its graphics processor, so much so that after a class action lawsuit in the USA, HP started replacing motherboards or giving a free replacement system to users with those problems, even when out of warranty!

Unfortunately, the replacement systems those customers received, the DV8000 series, proved just as unreliable.

So now the DV8000 has been replaced by the DV9000, and the DV6000, sharing many components, has been brought out alongside it.

It is really no surprise that these inherent problems continue THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER AND BATTERY-CHARGING CIRCUITRY.

Apparently the more-aware dealers know about these problems and no longer carry these computers.

Short of a re-design on the part of HP, if there is a workaround for these problems, I have yet to find it.

After I replac the battery for my HP DV6000, I encounter a blue screen and can't solved, I thought it must be the replacement battery fault I bought from http://www.8eshop.com/laptop-battery/hp-pavilion-dv6000-battery.htm . I emailed them and they told me that it not the battery problem but seemly the problem of the bios setup, try turn the auto SATA model off, I did like they said, solved.
