there is no fix for terible HP Product.
Hmm, that isn't right. There are loads of HP suggested fixes out there. HOWEVER....my G6 wouldn't fix after doing any of them. The one thing that was slightly different was that if I kept trying to repeatedly start it up, eventually it would boot up and be absolutely fine. No data loss, no file corruptions, no hard drive issues, no memory issues, no program issues. If it was put to sleep it wouldn't re-start also.
After trying lots of things I suspected a corrupt master boot record (MBR). Search online for how to rebuild the MBR, it is really easy on a Windows 7 system. First I kept trying to get it to boot. When it did (20minutes of on-off-on), I did a restart from the Windows shutdown option, which is a 'warm start', and usually it rebooted. Got into the biOS (F10) and changed the boot order to DVD first. Popped in the recovery disc (burnt whilst the system was up and running), and exited the biOS. It boot to recovery disc, I went to command prompt and entered the command to rebuild the MBR (downloaded from the search engine sites). Voila!! unit up and running and has cold started everytime for the past two days.
So in my case, it was not hardware (HDD, motherboard, RAM etc), or corrupt Windows system, it was the file that tells the computer how to 'fire up'.
So, in my case, which may not be identical to yours, I saved ££££££'s by being patient and eliminating stuff bit by bit. This may just help someone out there, good luck
