I have a HP Pavillion dv5000 and when I turn it on it beeps 4 times I put a light
next to the screen and it flashed I really need help I am a programmer I make games and that is what I use I am using my friends pc but I tried resetting th CMOS and I reseated the ram

"The harddrive blew up Could this be why its not working?"

I blew it out with a air compressor
I took the ram out one by one
it was working turning on when the Hard drive worked when it blew I put it away I have a live linux opensuse cd that I use on my desktop and i took the hard drive out of the desktop and it booted the cd,

I've done everything when I take the cmos battery out it doesn't beep when I put it back in I get 7 beeps restart and get 4 beeps I put it away for like 3 months with no hardrive amd when I put it away it worked it turned on with a faulty hard drive not I got it back and it doesn't work any suggestions??

Not sure what you mean with "The harddrive blew up", did it explode or what?

Anyways, check your mobo's manual to see the meaning of those beeps, there should be a troubleshooting section or "beep codes" section where you can find out what they mean.
