Please help, yesterday actually I was going to reset my PC and so I did but it terminated at the start giving WDF Violation. After that it booted properly then I installed CCleaner and cleaned registry and then I restarted my PC it was working fine then. I shut down my PC and today when I start it I can't see anything on my screen. Also I can't test my monitor coz I have all in one PC. Please help I want my PC to work again.

Open task manager (ctrl+alt+del) > look for "windows explorer" or just "explorer" > right click and end task > head over to "file" > run new task > type in: explorer.exe > check the "admin privileges" box > OK

This should kickstart it, but give it a few minutes and you might have to repeat the process two times. Not the best solution, but it beats waiting around.

All in ones are hard to toubleshoot. It just sounds like the display isn't working. You might need to talk with your pc manufacturer

The display isn't working...
 
Also a side note: I can only see my HDD display light only when I click power button after that it vanishes.

Does your all-in-one have a display out or hdmi out port?

If so try connecting another monitor and if you have the same issue then you have faulty graphics driver or it could be something else.

Lastly what make and model is your all-in-one?
 
Sorry but I only have a PC and I have work to do and its very important that I get it fixed.

I'm a tech and the only ways to remedy that would to do a data backup and reinstall the os. Then but the data back on.
 
Do you see anything at all on the screen during boot up process? If not, then the display probably needs to be replaced.
 
When you restart the PC, do you see anything on the screen during the process at all? (Like the HP logo screen???) if so, I'd try booting into safe mode and reinstalling the graphics drivers.

Here's how to boot into safe mode: (copied from Microsoft.com)

1. Restart your PC. When you reach the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key and select the Power button, and then select Restart.

2. After your PC restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup settings > Restart. After your PC restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with networking.


Once in safe mode, (with networking) you should be able to go to Nvidia's site and download and install the latest graphics driver for your PC.

(Going by the link you posted, this should be the one for your HP all in one. Double check to make sure)

Then shutdown and restart your PC normally and everything should be good.

I'm pretty sure it's just a driver issue. My GF's PC just had a similar issue after receiving one of the recent windows updates.. The "WHQL" AMD driver updated through windows update, and all of a sudden her onboard Radeon graphics chipset didn't work with the DVI cable I was using. Shut it down, swapped the DVI cable out for a standard VGA cable, started it back up and everything was fine. Then I went and got the latest actual driver from AMD, installed it, shut it down again, and swapped the cables back to the DVI, and started back up again with everything back to normal.
 
Try removing the RAM and re-insert it.

If this does not solve the issue, then it's likely, as far as my knowledge, that the RAM or the graphics card is faulty.

Handy steps, although the OP's display is flaky :).

For the OP,

As the onboard graphics is soldered on and the display is a nightmare to replace. The only saving grace is that the HDD is serviceable, so there are two solutions, one take it a to authorised repair outlet and get them to repair the screen. Best make sure to ask if they do or do not wipe the drive clean, if they don't - get it in writing.

Second option, disassemble, retrieve the hdd and put it in a hdd enclosure so you can retrieve your work.

I can't even see the HP boot logo at the start let alone BIOS.
