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 fortunate. https://www.question-defense.com/2010/07/24/hpcompaq-system-configuration-error-code-purple-windows-vista Apparently HP Tattoos a number in the bios of their motherboards so that when you try to use the factory recovery, it checks to make sure the stock motherboard is in place. If https://www.technibble.com/forums/threads/hp-compaq-system-recovery-gets-configuration-error-with-code-purple.19459/ 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 Support code purple 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 am guessing this is some idiots solutions to piracy hp code purple somehow but in any case I will stop complaining and get to the solution. It took some searching but I finally found a solution to this problem. There are a few ways to do this but basically there is a script in the recovery image of the operating system which checks the bios for the correct motherboard code. It is a pretty simple batch script which says if the numbers don't match return a exit status of 1 and give the code purple error and if it does match give a exit status of 0 and move on to the clean up phase. 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. The code looks like this: bash if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto mismatch goto cleanup REM -------------

A customer wanted us to do a complete rebuild of XP on his HP Pavilion. So after doing the appropriate backups, I did a full System Recovery using the recovery partition (F10 from the bios screen). On the very first reboot, before XP even came up, a window was displayed stating that the PC had a "configuration error" and to call HP; at the end of the message was "(code purple)". I couldn't do anything at that point except power-off! Subsequent reboots produced the same behavior. There was thread in Technibble last year about this, but there was no definitive consensus as to what to do. I spent a LOT of hours trying to determine what "configuration" errors could be causing this. Other people who had run into this and called HP said that HP either said the mobo was bad or to send the PC in for repair. I knew the mobo was OK and had just about decided to do an OEM install when I found a way to bypass the "configuration error". Turns o
