Hp pavilion 2915nr entertainment laptop won't start

F8 has never done a dm thing. I used to be able to use F2, F9 or F10 but neither work now. My only problem became worse when I changed "load default setup" to the original and now it just powers in a black screen. Thanks for the effort. I've already tried a dozen other options, BTW.

Other suggestions after Yaw Spok were already considered during Windows Upgrade and not very helpful considering the current hurdle I'm engaged in, but the attention is grately thanked.

i've faced the same problem for many times during my experiance with troubleshooting. i would recomend to try all of the known settings like recovery/configuring bios/sesetting hardwares and all that may help. your problem seems like windows is not able to aquire perfect driveres to handle hardwares, so you may have to put some effort to solve this. setting up flash drive as boot option may work in your case (google: how to boot with USB ) hope that's helpful i've faced the same problem for many times during my experiance with troubleshooting. i would recomend to try all of the known settings like recovery/configuring bios/sesetting hardwares and all that may help. your problem seems like windows is not able to aquire perfect driveres to handle hardwares, so you may have to put some effort to solve this. setting up flash drive as boot option may work in your case (google: how to boot with USB ) hope that's helpful

Thanks...USB boot has never been attempted, but I'll try that. Believe it or not, I moved my tow motherboard memory sticks back to there original locations. (After I had removed them to clean, I placed them in the wrong slots!) Good grief! So, right now I'm having a chance to upgrade easily. If not, I attempt the USB boot with drivers included. I so much appreciate your wise, geniousness you've been sharing. Thanks...USB boot has never been attempted, but I'll try that.
