Code "purple" means you and your computer are done. It is an unrecoverable error that means you need a new system. However, I have found a couple of postings that claim to know a fix. I can not verify these methods, I do not own a HP or other type of prefab PC (custom is the only way to go). Anyway, here are the links, good luck.

I recommend going through my guide it is entitled My Computer is not turning on!!! Is it dead!!! No POST!!!

To me, off the bat, it sounds like a dead computer mainboard. However only purchase a replacement component when you know for sure which component it is.

My computer is saying that the system is not fully installed and all I want to do is to resite it to its factory settings

Which operating system ?????.....
The HP Recovery Partition that comes pre-installed on most new HPs is like built-in insurance if your system becomes unstable or fails.

Disconnect all peripheral devices and power on the computer.
Press the F11 key after the computer first powers on to start the HP Recovery Manager.

Follow the on-screen instructions to back up recoverable files on the hard drive to an external drive or media.
Continue following the instructions to recover the hard drive to its original factory condition.
Click "Finish" when the recovery is complete.
Reconnect devices and reboot the computer.
Reinstall software and update Windows and HP to current settings.

I have a HP pavilion S3420F Slimline desktop After the first year motherboard and grafic card failed and were changed, (for another models?) Then the computer got slower, and I formatted it, and now...

formatting it was a bad idea.
if you did that and ERASED the HP, partitions called, Recovery
now the F11 Recovery feature is gone for ever.
id bet those were not bad, I bet the junior tech, replaces them in that order guessing at your cost, as is so common today.
but lets forget the past, it's gone.
if the F11 key (or what the manual says) is dead its dead.
that takes what? a good HDD, next. if its good and the CD drive works, (many dont now) then you can disk install the OS.
but you have no disks, do you,
all HP new they sold the disk set called the HP media kit
if you didnt buy them when new, they are long long gone.
this is a 2014 PC correct, the service guide page 17 tells you how to use the HDD, magic, recovery.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04329428

if you erased the HDD , that will be and expensive fix.
never erase any HP HDD , unless buying a used one to use.
or you get to buy windows again,
or run Ubuntu linux 16 , for free. (a great choice)
if if you must erase, just do the root of C:/
clearing out all of windows.
and not touching this.

here is W7
do not erase the 2 partitions on the right ever. (if not rich)
think of them as VIRTUAL INSTALL DISKS.
cuz they are.
http://www.pcdied.com/W7-FMT.JPG

good luck
best is upgrade to w7, or to w10 . Vista is now a DEAD OS.
best is to avoid xp and vistafor ever.

I need to reinstall the webcam on my hp pavilion tx2117d. i have gone to recovery manager and it says i need to unistall app and redownload however i have done this and im still getting this message.

Hi,

I recommend try to reinstall the Operating System to make it more easier to isolate if its a hardware or software problem and after you reinstall the Operating System and you are getting same error message it means the problem is already with the hardware, if its a problem with the hardware better to call the manufacturer to have the machine service or go to any local computer center and let them service your machine.

Windows vista installation

If you purchased it new, you can probably get a recovery disk from HP.  HP usually puts a recovery partition on one part of the disk, but if your utility program wiped that out, then you will need help from HP directly.
You can try HP's website by starting here: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-001&h_query=pavilion+dv6000&submit=Go+%BB

The following discusses ordering a recovery disk: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=1842155&rule=21883&lang=en

If the recovery parition is still intact, you might be able to recover based on this link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&rule=21883&product=1842155&docname=c00809678#RecoverOS

Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible If the PC cannot launch into Windows, it may still be possible to use the HP Recovery Manager on the hard drive to restore the computer to its original operating condition by first pressing the Power button to start the PC, and then pressing the F11 key to start the HP Recovery Manager. NOTE: Depending on the BIOS version, your computer may display multiple prompts during startup including F11 to start System Recovery. Pressing the F11 key on a computer with an HP factory image will start System Recovery even if the prompt is not displayed.
  • If the HP Recovery Manager can access the hard drive, a prompt is displayed to backup the user files before beginning the recovery. Follow any on-screen instructions.
  • If the HP Recovery Manager cannot access the hard drive to fix any system errors, use the set of recovery discs to recover the hard drive to its original condition.
