so that meant you changed it , then clicked save
, then powered off ,then back on then went back to the same place in bios and it is wrong , now, and you are confused
well well YOUR COIN CELL< CMOS RTC battery is dead.
end saga.
but if above was saved, ok, 2nd look and it did not boot in that order and you for got to hit the say the huge space bar
at boot time , over and over the CD or DVD can not not ever boot due to the laws of EL Torito (intel/MS and HP rules)
on my server here, it shows, hit a key to boot to DVD
or to stick usb.. clear as day but other HP PC may not prompt you and sure that is bad play.
to save the BIOS you must use the right key to do that
it tells you what to do. exiting BIOS.
but if the Battery dies, the NVRAM is now dead and can not store BIOS settings nor the the time of day (RTC)
facts. all.

Ok. Starting with the simple first. This machine has an AMD processor installed. They, by historical design, tend to run hotter than their Intel counterparts. Before I went crazy, I would open the machine and inspect the cooling fan and heat sink to determine if they have been clogged by dust and debris. Heat is the worst enemy of a PC, and CPUs will shut down when too hot. If you see clogged fins in the heat sink, get some canned air and blow out the debris. Hopefully that will solve the problem. If you smoke near the machine or keep the machine on the floor, it will clog up much faster than normal.
With a wireless connection, your PC
can connect wirelessly to a network printer.
In addition, you can set up your PC
in a location where no phone line or cable connection exists.
Outfitting your desktop to a wireless
Internet connection is very easy.
Just follow these simple steps and
you'll be surfing the net wirelessly in a matter of minutes.
Find out if wireless Internet reception exists
where your computer is located.
If you're located very close to a
W-iFi hotspot, like a coffee shop, you may be able to use this network to get
wireless Internet for desktop PCs.
Also, some apartment complexes and
college dorms have free wireless Internet.
Your neighbors may have wireless
Internet too, which you can ask them if you can use.
Buy a wireless network adapter for
your desktop.
You can obtain an adapter from most
electronic stores.
Be sure to get a wireless adapter
with the proper strength, which depends on how far you are from the wireless
hotspot.
The easiest adapters to install are
those that just plug into an available USB port.
Set up your wireless Internet for
your desktop PC according to the instructions that came with the wireless
adapter.
The usual procedure is to plug the
wireless adapter into an available USB port.
Windows will install the appropriate
driver.
After your PC recognizes the
wireless adapter, select the "Connections" icon in the taskbar
(represented by vertical bars).
A list of available connections will
appear.
Select the desired connection.
If you are prompted for a password,
enter the appropriate password.
Click "Connect."
You are subsequently connected to a
wireless network.
Launch your browser and enjoy
surfing the Internet wirelessly.
If you are the owner of the wireless
network, secure your wireless network with a password. To do so, navigate to
the "Start" menu and select the "Control Panel."
Then select "Network and
Internet" and "Network and Sharing Center."
Click "Change adapter
settings" in the left pane.
Double-click the icon of the
appropriate wireless connection.
The Wireless Network Connection
status window appears.
Click the "Wireless
Properties" button.
Select the "Security" tab
and select an encryption type from the drop-down selection.
Enter a password in the Network
security key field.
Make sure that the password matches
the router settings.
Press "OK" when done.
Get a wireless internet router for
your Internet connection if there is no wireless Internet already in your area.
You can buy these online, or at
electronic stores.
You'll need to set up your router
using the accompanying instructions and your own Internet service provider.
This is best in a home with multiple
computers.
You will
have to open up your network connections
Click start
control panel network connections this may vary depending on your operating
system look for local area connection if you see a red x or a yellow
exclamation or question mark ! ? you will need to update or install the driver
or it could be firewalled,
If you are
trying to connect through a modem/router you it should have come with a disk
then
you might have
to connect the usb lead to your modem to get a connection then
Click start
control panel administration tools computer management device manager scroll to
network adapters should see a yellow question ? exclamation mark
! or a red X right click install
drivers.
The driver might
be on the disc supplied by your ISP internet service provider
or the
motherboard disc
Click start type cmd press enter
you will be in DOS mode
type in ipconfig press enter
you will see all of your
internet connection details type in your default gateway adress into your
internet search should read something like 10.0.0.138
You only need to check the following if a driver cant be installed
Make sure you Ethernet/internet is enabled in bios
restart your computer during the boot up process you will see on your
screen a certain key to
press to enter set up (BIOS) press and hold that key to enter bios
using arrow keys navigate to integrated
peripherals
look for SiS On Chip Pci Device press enter scroll to SiS 10/100m press
enter make sure its
"Enabled"
This may not be your problem, but I have a client who has a webcam attached to his PC in New York, and when he inadvertently accepted the Microsoft Silverlight download as a part of Microsoft Windows Updates, his camera no longer worked and his computer froze-up. Removing Silverlight solved the problem, so there was some sort of driver conflict with the webcam. Never found a solution thru either Microsoft or the camera manufacturer's website.
To actually fix it requires a bit of electronics skill. First you will have to diagnose the component that has failed and then solder in the replacement component.
First I think you should do some troubleshooting. Try hooking up your computer to a different monitor and see if there's any display when you boot up. If that doesn't work, then open up the desktop and make sure all of the power connections are solid. One that sometimes comes off is the 2nd motherboard power connector. Because you aren't seeing the blue LED, I think it might be that connector. The motherboard has one 24 or 26 pin power connector and one simple 4 pin connector. The 4 pin is usually in a corner near the processor. Take a look at that to see if your motherboard is getting all of the power it needs. If everything is connected properly and your monitor isn't the problem, the new power supply you ordered could fix the problem. I hope this helps!
it may have some cross-linked files, you can try running check-disk to repair the disk, but you probably have some spyware or a virus. the best solution is to reinstall the software and make sure you have up-to-date antivirus/antispyware software. that is the only way to make sure the computer is completely clean. the software is supposed to be reinstalled from the original disks every year anyway. you can get avgfree antivirus at avgfree.com, i would also suggest you install spybot search & destroy spyware tools. i also use spyware blaster. you can download those from majorgeeks.com. if you would like to try removing the viruses/spyware first, i would suggest you try an online scanner tool at one of the major antivirus websites. norton's, computer associates', mcafee's, trend micro's, etc. it is very difficult to remove a virus using software on an infected system, so you have to use an outside source that is 'clean'. you should also be running a firewall for security, such as zonealarm. the free zonealarm firewall can be downloaded at zonealarm.com.
If it is under warranty take it back for a replacement computer, or they can replace the faulty component free of charge.
May-be resetting the BIOS/CMOS will bring you some joy, tell me how it goes.
Indicates you have a bad Power Supply, to me. Weak voltage power rail.
1) ALL of the LED lights combined use less than 1 Watt of power. 2) EACH fan uses 2 to 3 Watts 3) A typical Processor can use 51 to 125 Watts. Depends on what Processor it is.
(The Pavilion a6750f uses an ATX power supply, that has a maximum rated wattage of 300 Watts.
NOTE* Computer unplugged from power. Anti-Static Precautions observed.
Anti-Static Precautions: Your body carries Static electricity.
Static will fry out (Short Circuit) the hardware components inside a computer. (You may not even see it, or feel it)
Computer unplugged from power, computer case open, working on a table; TOUCH the metal frame of the open computer case, to relieve your body of Static. Should you leave your computer in the middle of working on it, upon your return be be SURE to Touch the metal frame again.
Well FIRST take it back and make that "Repairman" work on the problem until solved at NO extra fee. What has been done is NOT professional. Had you come to my shop, this wouldn't have happened and if it did, it would be remedied without cost, and would be worked upon until fixed. The same must apply here. You paid good money for a FIX NOT OS replacement I suspect you have a faulty component,maybe Video card maybe WiFi card etc. Please do NOT accept a run around. Try the "Honey"approach first, then "Vinegar"... if, you get any BS, from them/Him. I am sorry on behalf of us professionals.
no pc told, Pavilion means zerothat name is is used on desktops and laptops for agesthe HP has diagnostics so run those. HP.com tells how.not told desktop or laptops. just 1 word."Screen"first Pavilion was 1995
learn to google mate.
this is no secret,gee millions sold.
A6Y530A
the partsurfer shows true model, and fails
this is the only post here ever asking for reverse code lookups
on models fake, and is not easy in vast cases
I guess you have no such PC, (look like)
so why ask this>? what prompted this quest>? not told
why not ask seller for photos of it if this is a pre sales question , is it>?
google and bing and HP all show that model # is BOGUS
so go back to your sell and ask the we can not guess PCs ever.
HP product ID# is best on the service tag for SURE.
where did you see this number, not told.
or that number is some 20+ year old COMPAQ PC ,lost in the sands of time, and no google hits.
you posted to HP forum, (not real) Hp.com is real
what does not working mean (KBD) dead, or 1 key bad or row. what?
symptoms matter most, for sure in a LAPTOP IS IT
the word Pavilion is on laptops and desktop, dig?
G mean zero , the service tag does not just say "G" sorry.
easy peasy lemon squeezy
HP.com
complex URL no?
go there
tell them your model # or better the service tag code ! .
then magically HP puts you on YOUR service support page
and all manuals and all driver before your eyes. amazing no?
NO told at all
or of a laptop or desktop or what./?
you posted ANON so I can't just read other posts by you to learn what PC this is , no I can not.
there are over 100 PC called G series, and vast years.
some PCs by them G1 to 7 are generations, like
HP Pavilion g6-1029tx Notebook.
if you can find the service tag the product ID # is what matters most
this code includes (real model, version , options and country sold)
see this, older PCs by them had this.
see that , all matters but do not post SN/ or service codes in public.
mine: procuct code (nnnnnnABA#)
https://www.pcdied.com/TAG-jive/tag-elite8540w.JPG
I will guess it is 17" laptop, here is the mess just that 1 sized
once you see this you know that G series means not MUCH>
https://search.brave.com/images?q=hp+G+series++pavilion++17%22+G&source=web
old PCs do that, for many reasons. but no PC told at all just HP.
40 years of PCs ,10000 + models nobody can guess ever.
but I do have the answer, in pure generic form.
did you buy the PC like that used and bad Wifi. ?
the wifi card is missing, as was super common 10+ years ago.
someone put in the wrong card, not from HP list
HP blacklists (bios blocks) none HP cards (wifi)
the card needs a driver to work if not it is dead or 1/2 dead.
the PC needs 1 more driver to make the wifi buttons all work , all buttons related, if not they are dead or act odd.
The OS is infected, no OS told at all, not one clue nor if upgraded the OS, and not vast drivers are wrong or missing, (classic)
Im sure this this is not the free w10 upgrade, if it was that too kills drivers dead, for sure HP told you this unstated PC will not run W10 and has zero support from HP, on w10 AS YOUR SUPPORT PAGE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU AT HP.COM
