So I have suddenly started having issues with my old HP HDX 16 laptop since yesterday. The rig is a Centrino 2 machine with 4GB RAM and Windows 7.
What happens is that when I start it up, I see the HP logo, then the screen goes black instead of showing the Windows 7 startup screen. The LED lights are on & I can hear the fan buzz. I then see the Windows welcome screen with a loading icon, and then everything goes black again. The LED lights are still on & the laptop seems to be on as well.
Now I have tried troubleshooting a few times but no results. I try going into HPs own startup menu by hitting escape on the HP splash screen, but that again takes me to a blank screen without Windows starting up & the PC still running. Same result when I hit F2, F8 or F12.
I know it's an old machine, and I have my wife's macbook on but I need my data back. Help!
