Presario s6500nx stops loading at set up screen

Restart your computer

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup usually the Delete or F2 key
this will vary depending on your computer and operating system

Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS using the arrow keys load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

this will set the boot order
hope this helps

if this fails you might try some of these

Acer: - Ctrl+Alt+Esc

ALR PC: (F2) or (Ctrl)(Alt)Esc)

AMI BIOS: (Del), (F1) or (F2)

AST, Advantage, Award, Tandon: - Ctrl + Alt + Esc

Award BIOS: (Del) or (Ctrl)(Alt)(Esc)

You need to reinstall your operating system or atleast upgrade your windows.

Good Luck

Sounds like you have to open task manager. probably threw ctrl+del keys together. then once the task manager is open you have the option of typing explorer.exe

once the windows desktop apears go to start then run and type chkdsk c: /R this will recover bad files that are possibly missing from the boot volume. the issue happens when software tries to alter the master boot record where windows load's the operating files off of the main drive root partition. hope this helps you.
Good Luck

If you just bought it 2 days ago then it should still be under warranty. Call your tech support and have them help you or ship it in to them so that they can repalce broken/ defective parts

Once your task manager starts click on application and then new command type explorer in the popup and hit enter. This will solve your problem for now. If you wan't to make this permanent on every startup. then add explorer program to your startup list

Is it a black screen right when you boot your computer? If so this could be a fatal disk error and the harddrive has crashed.

There is no easy fix other than to replace the harddrive.

Yes, you should try replacing the power supply first. If that doesn't work, then it could be a bad motherboard.

According to these specs it should be an Asus A7V8X-LA. This link will show you a list of these boards available on ebay.

Good luck!
