For those who have a loud fan and blak screen that won't turn on, this is the solution: Turn off the computer, and then remove the power cord. With the power cord disconnected, press and hold the power button for five seconds. Reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the computer. Repeatedly press the F10 key about once every second for five seconds after turning the computer on. Wait five seconds. Press the F5 key. This restores the default settings of the BIOS. Press the Enter key. This accepts the changes. Press the F10 key. This opens the Save and Exit window. Press the Enter key. This saves the changes, exits the BIOS, and then the computer restarts. After the computer restarts, the screen should display the HP logo.

the shit thermal pad on the gpu shrinks over time on this model touchsmart, this action is a failsafe. it detects the INSTANT rap up in GPU temp on first boot indicating no present cooling solution, it prevents booting or display and cycles as much airflow through the case as possible. It's actually a pretty cool thing most computers wouldnt do, letting your GPU actually fail on you. Same thing happened to mine, used a copper shim and some actual thermal compound to bring the temps down to mid 30c. Thermal pads are NEVER appropriate for a Gpu. It's designed to fail. Most people wont even get a pc that old repaired because it isn't worth the hourly rate and they just buy a new one. This pc is, unlike most small form-factors INCREDIBLY easy to fix this particular problem. And service overall. Been going another 5 years. Recently upgraded to a amd quad core and 8 gigs ram. And my mom still uses it for all her ebaying and it works great. Have repaired attempted repair touchsmart 300 models this way with, 9 were fixable with the shim. Rest were casualties of stupidity/ the owner of one let it sit for over an hour after booting to see if it would turn on cooking the gpu and popcorning the motherboard and damaging multiple solder joints and small components. Doing this or repeatedly trying to start the machine when you know its not working before bothering to seek service assistance with something you yourself know you dont know anything about, THAT could damage the machine. Imagine that. By the time idiots bothered seeking repair they were fucked, not because gpu died, because of using a shitty thermal pad over properly designing a flush heating solution or simply using a copper shim.

Hi everyone! I read that a lot of you have the same problem with your HP. Black screen and the fan blowing hard. It's a common problem of GPU. There is a trick that you can do, like a "reflow", and maybe it will work again. Possible not for more than 6 months. Remove the heatsink of the cpu and the gpu chip and power on your pc. You can check if the cpu and the gpu chip start to heat up. If yes , possibly they are in good contidion. Leave your PC to work like this for about a minute and shut it down. Plug the heatsink and close it properly to test if it works. If not try it again with leaving your pc for more hour without the heatsink.

This is extremely late but there actually is a video card that comes in some of these models. If you look on the motherboard, there is an MXM graphics card slot that places the card right underneath the CPU heatsink and it's own heatsink that places the fins inline with the original heatsink. Strangely, the MXM heatsink that works with this chassis seems almost non-existent: h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Upgrading-Touchsmart-300-I-m-trying-to-find-this-particular/td-p/5856226
