Anyone had hp compaq nx6310 not loading OS??

by larbakium . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

I got a hp compaq nx6310.

The HDD is formatted and when turn the pc on it load the HP screen and opts to go into BIOS which I can access and modify options work fine. But then it comes up with “Error 163 time and date not set”.

If I get a Ubuntu CD and try to run the live install it will not load and will stuck on a black screen with a flashing underscore character .
If I load any windows it will boot from the CD and load all dll and kernel but it stuck on “Setup is starting windows”

Previoully I have tried to run a HDD and RAM test which both have passed.

I also follow some tips I googled such as:
Reset the BIOS settings,
configure CPU DUAL to Disabled
Configured the SATA to disabled.

Still no luck. It does not looks like I can actually run any OS in there.

I also search Hp website for BIOS update but I only download *.exe files and I can?t run it as I can not load any OS.

Any ideas?
Thanks
