Computer Malfunction 2016
Select Boot Device Rectangle on Start Up
Computer HP Compaq Presario Model CQ 5320 F
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1; with 6 month old 1 tb 64 bit Seagate hard drive replaced hp damaged hard drive several months ago. Downloaded Windows 7 from recovery discs without product key; 1st disc downloaded, 2nd disc downloaded 70%- put disc back in and it finished, 3rd disc did same as 2nd for download. Did not have Service Pack 1. Download completed I went online and downloaded a ton of updates then Service Pack 1 displayed on basic information about your computer.
Computer was working fine since replaced hard drive 6 months ago.
Then had computer freeze problem, not able to move desktop icons, type in, Google search menu & words processor sometimes it allows typing and copying others it erases existing text when trying to add before text, open task bar menu or functions, start menu as well both just flicker. Volume display only one that works when this problem occurs.
Have been experiencing problems copying items from web pages and then pasting them to Word Processor. Had blue cursor circle continuously couple times. Trying to copy and paste brings up word processor experienced an error and needs to close occasionally.
Reset to earlier time, no luck. Did hardware diagnostics with hp diagnostic and windows ram & sfc/scannow( for operating system) diagnostic.
Desktop and other functions sometimes work spontaneously while computer is being used and others after it is left on standby.
Restarted then blue screen with:
Select boot device
ST 1000 DM003-1 ER162
hp DVD-RAM GH40L
F4 Boot using defaults
Have tried all three boot device options. Select boot device blue rectangle comes up sometimes and others does not. Checked all connections.
Disconnected hard drive and turned on computer and blue rectangle with hp dvd-ram gh40L came up as expected.
Replaced battery on mother board and on start up black screen comes up with bios and other things on it then went to usual security sign in screen. Tried restart several more times and normal start up occurred.
Used you tube on one thing for 45 minutes which appeared to cause problem.
Which Boot Device do I use and is the problem software due to using recovery discs or is it virus, malaware, Trojan horse, hacker or other thing causing the problem?
Will reloading software using recovery discs or free Windows 10 download solve the issue?
Does it mean my computer is dying other than the hard drive which is new(Tower is from 2008)?
Norton pop up on screen instantaneously and downloaded Norton Security; I already had Norton on computer. Download worked and is valid Norton. Prior to this Norton had been acting up as i clicked icons for update & Norton and they said it was not valid Norton do you want to delete and i did. Start menu in all programs still worked. Have been listening to You tube now for 30 minutes several songs and problem is not occurring. Could this mean virus?
Now i cannot download microsoft updates just stays at 0 % and keeps saying downloading updates. Stated i had 16 updates. Tried msconfig hide all microsoft services, auto update, disble update, etc. Tried downloading updates from website including update downloader too. still no luck.
