When I turn my HP Pavillion, it shows "preparing automatic repair" and then becomes a black screen.
wow you really won't mention anything you did before to make it say that huh??
Just so you know, when you go to the Doctor, the Doctor needs to know what happened so he can tell you the correct assessment and treatment.. failing to divulge any information can cause the wrong medicine and even wrong surgery..
anyway,
well.. if your recovery disc won't work.. that's a serious problem.. especially if it is a legal legit recovery CD..
Put in the CD and boot from the CD (making sure in your bios it is set to boot from CD first..)
and let it wait one hour.. if it still doesn't show up after that.. Pray . cause it might be your motherboard..
also if you do wait one hour, when you come back to the computer, make sure to press capslock and see if it is still on and move the mouse to make the screen wake up if it is in "sleep" mode..
You don't have to wait 1 hour actually .. check it in 15-25 minutes.. and see and listen if you hear the CD being read.. put your ear next to the CD Tray.. and have your kids or wife or friend take a picture of how you look doing it too..
