Usually something forgotten?

The clean install required updates, drivers and apps from HP. I'd start with the factory OS then update it.

Thanks Bob Did That Twice First Time I Installed All Updates And It Crashed !! Second Time Only Installed Important Updates And So Far No! Problems!! Grin But I Was Told That Some Of The Optional Updates Could Be The Problem? Such As This Security Update KB 3045999 ? Is That Possible? Thanks Tom

Why yes you may see a crash after that one. Microsoft writes

"Known issues with this security update

After you install this security update on x64-based versions of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 that have McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLP Endpoint) 9.3.x installed, some programs may intermittently not start. When the problem occurs, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000001Cool. Click OK to close the application. "

So who's to point fingers at who's at fault here. I've given up hope for McAfee. I just clean that off and move to something else. Remember that McAfee's uninstall is incomplete. We have to hunt down their other removal and cleanup tool.

Now I Have No C/d Player? Disappeared? Gone? Have Any Ideas? Bob Thanks Tom

You said this is a clean install
Jun 11, 2015 2:44PM PDT

Since that computer came with Vista installed, is this an install from an Upgrade disc or a Retail version of Win 7 ?
Did you get all of the drivers from HP ?
I see Bob asked that but you didn't clarify.

OK, so it's not the HP Windows 7.
Jun 11, 2015 9:55PM PDT

And the 700 is the SERIES so I can't check into if this needs a bios or other special treatment to run 7.

Thanks for the added detail but we'll need to find out what laptop this is, what BIOS version and more about this Windows 7.

OK i Will Get You More Info.
Jun 12, 2015 11:17AM PDT

OK My Initial Post Was Compaq Persario F 700 Manufactured By HP. Also Now On The Third Clean Install I Only Downloaded Important Updates No Optional Updates And It's Running Fine So Far But Does NOT Recognize The C/D Drive? I Will Post BIOS Info Today!! Also I Have Done This UPGRADE On Several Of These Models And Never Had A Problem Like This One!! Thanks Tom.

Does NOT Recognize The C/D Drive?
Jun 12, 2015 11:26AM PDT

Ouch. Now it's starting to read as if there are hardware issues. How did you get 7 on without that?

Everyone Seems To Think It's Windows Compatibility Issue? After 3 reinstalls I Don't Believe So!! After Every large windows Update like 144 then it goes bad?? Any Ideas ?? Thanks Tom P.S. Could This Be Hardware Related? IE Mother Board??

Hard Ware Issues??
Jun 12, 2015 2:55PM PDT

Please Explain?? Could That Be Causing All This? Are You Saying That It Could Be The MotherBoard?? Thanks Tom.

Or it's not Windows 7 compatible.
Jun 12, 2015 3:02PM PDT

I've run into a few that act weird with 7. Back to the factory OS for those. Off to see if I can decode which model this is. I know it's asking a lot but if we can't decode the exact model we have to nod and write incompatible with 7.

You also didn't answer my question about how you worked around no CD.

- Collapse -
OK, I'm going with incompatible or broken.

Compaq Presario F700 (30EA) Notebook PC (AMD Processors)

This line is right up there with the dreaded dv6000/9000 line that has a lot of issues.

Install Vista and let it live.

Jun 13, 2015 2:49PM PDT

It Crashed For The Third Time!! Cry So I Called A Local Repair Shop That My Son's Friend Works At And He Said This Is A Known Problem With All HP and Compaq PC's
He Told Me To Take The Motherboard Out And Heat The Video Chip With A Hair Dryer For 10 To 15 Minutes Which I Did And Put It All Back Together and Wow It Works Fine So Far?? Even Have My C/d Player Back??? Imagine That?? Well Just Figured I'd Give You This Updated Info and Will Keep You Posted As To My Progress!! Thanks Again To All The People That Responded To My Post!! TOM.

That one
Jun 13, 2015 3:42PM PDT

Is a classic. However you can imagine no one warrants such a repair. Good to eek out more days but you can find out why and more on the web about this area.

Good luck,
