If you have a voltmeter, take the battery out and measure it. If you don't, just replace it with a new one, or swap it with one from a working machine, and see if it makes any difference. Just found the latest version of the bios, will install it and see if this makes any difference....should I also download the BIOS utilities? Not a good idea if the machine is unstable. It may lock up during the update and cause problems. If the machine was running fine before, and isn't now, it's very very unlikely to be a BIOS issue anyway. |

| 1371939 | 2014-04-04 21:33:00 | The red flashing LED is an error message, HP and Compaq do this. Look here h20566.www2.hp.com LED messages are lower down the screen but the whole page is useful to read. For example, Flashing red LED and 2 beeps = CPU overheating, which would also explain the fan noise Flashing red LED + 4 beeps = PSU failure etc See if you can use that to figure out the problem then we can offer some solutions maybe. |
