    HP Pavilion DV6 - Pale Blue Screen with Active Cursor after Log-on and Welcome Screen - hangs for 3-5 minutes

    Hi Mike, Sorry but I found no real 100% Solution. I replaced the HDD (which I Cloned) and the RAM and the "blue screen" delay has gotten slightly better but it is still slow to complete the "boot" and final arrival at the Windows Desktop. If I add this to the ongoing "fan noise/racket" on...

    HP Pavilion DV6 - Pale Blue Screen with Active Cursor after Log-on and Welcome Screen - hangs for 3-5 minutes

    Hi, Thanks for drapacioli's input but that was not the actual solution. I checked the AC Adapter against the link posted and our HP Pavilion was not one of those listed. In the end I ended cloning and replacing the HDD and replacing the RAM. The machine is now a little faster with the "blue...

    HP Pavilion DV6 - Pale Blue Screen with Active Cursor after Log-on and Welcome Screen - hangs for 3-5 minutes

    Hi, Thanks for getting back. Checked the HP Pavilion Power Cord and our show LS-18 (faulty one's are LS-15) thanks for the heads up on that though. I will have to check what HP Drivers etc have been updated - the Pavilion is my kid's. Checked Autoruns and Startup with System Explorer but I...
