System Configuration Error (code purple) Windows Vista purehate July 24, 2010 Errors 51 Comments Tweet I am not sure how I have been lucky enough never to encounter the HP/Compaq booby trap but until today I was so https://www.question-defense.com/2010/07/24/hpcompaq-system-configuration-error-code-purple-windows-vista fortunate. Apparently HP Tattoos a number in the bios of their motherboards so https://forums.techguy.org/threads/code-purple-configuration-error-hp-compaq.469752/ that when you try to use the factory recovery, it checks to make sure the stock motherboard is in place. If it is not in place you get the following error: Your system has detected a configuration error. Please report this error to Customer Care using the phone number found in the Warranty and code purple Support Guide that came with your PC. Unless corrected, this error will prevent your PC from operating properly. Turn off your PC by pressing and holding the Power button. After a few seconds your PC will automatically turn off. (Code Purple) I mean seriously? HP does not want you to be able to change the motherboard in their PC's.

I will say that normally you would have to mount the drive on another computer or boot a rescue disk of some sort in order to do this but it turns out that HP was nice enough to give us access to a cmd.exe window even when receiving this error. 1. Once the error box comes up press shift and F-10 to get a command line. 2. Navigate to the following folder. bash C:\\hp\\bin\\checkdmi\\ 3. Enter the following command. bash checkdmi.cmd 4.

When the computer would try to boot up to Windows an error message would appear stating that there was a configuration error and to contact the manufacturer. Then in paranthesis (Code Purple). I did a search for Code Purple on the internet and got a number of hits, but only one seemed to have any suggestions for a solution. This is what I found out and this is what I did (Some of these I copied and pasted from this blog - but just changed them to indicate specifically what I did I don't want to take credit for their great suggestions - the blog is at: http://www.billoblog.com/billoblog/?p=152#comments ) Code Purple indicates that there was a booby trap placed in HP and Compaq computers in which a tattoo or numerical signature of the motherboard and hardware configuration is created at the factory and encoded into the restore disks on a particular computer. When you re-install your system, it checks to make sure the system h I removed the hard drive from my Pavilion and put it in the other system. I then looked for the file that was doing the anti-piracy check. I found it at: I removed the hard drive from their Pavilion and put it in the other system. The writer of the blog had found the file that was doing the anti-piracy check at: C:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\cfgchk.bat The cfgchk.bat file contains the following: c:\hp\bin\hpdmi r > dmiout.txt python c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\run.py del dmiout.txt cd .. rd /s /q c
