The laptop (HP DV6915NR) that I purchased last month, now all of the sudden will not boot up windows. After logging in, it appears to get through the process, then it just shuts down. It does this every time when starting windows (Vista) normally. I will, eventually, get this looked at, I just don't have time now, or soon.

However, I have found that my computer boots fine in "safe mode" and I can do everything I need to do like this. So my question is, will this create a problem if a boot up in this manner all the time, at least until I have the time to take a long hard look at what the problem is or take it to a service center.... but that wouldn't be for a while.

  1. thats why they call it SAFE mode

    Its ok to run in safemode, but your loosing a lot of teh features you pay for for your brand new shiny latop.

  3. Your computer will not be harmed, as safe mode is only booting the needed files you NEED to make your computer boot.

    since the computer boots in safe mode, that means that its something else is trying to boot with everything thats booting at the startup.  (a virus, or a program set to boot at startup thats not compatable with Vista),

    Think back to when the problem started, What did you install? Uninstall it from add remove programs in safe mode. and that will solve your problem. Or if that dont work, if vista has a goback or restore, use it and return the computer back to before the problem started.


  4. its not bad, but there are drivers and services not being started, hence being called safe mode, so some stuff may not work, i'd recommend to fix your pc so u can use normal mode

  5. Go to safe mode

    Go to C:\ right click properties / tools / error repair / when new box comes up tick small box to fix errors and reboot when rebooting windows will scan disk and fix any errors

    This may be all you need to do to fix it
