I recently bought an HP Pavilion 500-a60 desktop PC. It does not have a sticker showing the windows 8.1 product key; no disc; and no documentation. HP and Microsoft will not give me the product key

I contacted HP and Microsoft and cannot get my windows 8.1 product key from them. They said windows 8.1 product key is embedded in the BIOS. Is there a way I can get the key?

There should have been a sticker either on the pc or there should have been a package with a recovery CD inside the box, I am guessing from your question that you have bought this 2nd hand, you cannot get at the key, but if you got this 2nd hand windows should have been installed and working, HP will sell you a copy of the resotre disks

SOURCE: HP PAVILION ELITE M9340F PC DESKTOP MAKES A LOT OF NOISE (BUZZING

I have the same problem and I found out it was the fan of the video card cause the noise. Ton of users own this computer have the same problem, click the following link and see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=HardwareDPC&thread.id=976&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
The hardware problem is cause by the GeForce 9500GS video board that cannot be fixed. If your computer still under warranty, contact HP techniocal support and replace another model or another brand video board, if not,buy another video card and replace it yourself. Remember, don't use the GeForce 9500GS video board, all this video card will have noise problem after a few months.

If your computer turns on and no display then you have faulty memory cards, replace them with new ones and make sure you use the right kind. Bios settings are usually set to default and factory settings, you should not have to update them. Usually if you hear no beeps when you turn on the computer, then your memory cards are faulty. I hope this helps.

obtain the driver from cd/dvd that was included as you purchased your desktop and try to check if the driver supports with the operating system you are using now. for example the driver available in your cd/dvd is only for windows xp and your operating system you are using now is windows vista of course driver not installed. try to download from internet the driver that are suite to your unit model and current operating system this can fixed your problem or else downgrade your os tha can support the driver that are available from your cd/dvd.
