• I was somehow infected and after restarting the laptop, it goes to a white screen.

  Original title: Virus

  I have an old HP Pavilion 2008. I was somehow infected and after restarting the laptop, it goes to a white screen. Not even the HP logo lights up. I can't access installation even though I know which key press.

  I created a bootable windows DVD 7 and a USB port. I can not even boot from one of them. With the DVD, it sounds like it wants to read, but there is something else wrong.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If the HP logo comes and you can't access BIOS, the problem is more likely to be at a lower level. A failed HARD drive should not prevent you from access to the configuration.

  Several things can cause the logo appears at the top (I write from a HP Pavillion 2008). I've dealt with many laptops such as yours and have seen many causes. Faulty RAM memory is a. A problem with the video chip is another. In fact several kinds of tokens (two bridges, video..). A virus is more unlikely but not impossible (if he messed with your BIOS, it is possible).

  If you don't see movement in your DVD or HARD drive, something I'm leaning more towards the video chip. Especially if it's Nvidia or Radeon - it would be a miracle if you use an HP laptop of 9 years with a powerful video (so that there is time) without having had any problems with it until now (mine is Intel). They overheat easily.

  What I would do in your case:

  1. remove the battery and unplug the unit. Give it 10 minutes and see what happens. Small chance, it would be useful, but it's easier to test.

  2. If you are reluctant to remove anything yourself proceed to 4. Otherwise, open the case and look for a reset (might want to read in the manual how to do it), remove the internal battery.

  3 try to remove the first (try to run) then the other of your plates to RAM (assuming you have two). During the race, all the tests remove the drive HARD and DVD just to eliminate the possibility of interference. If you manage to get started and get the logo and enter BIOS start adding parts back one by one and you will find the faulty one.

  4. If it at a gas station. Now you can do anything, if you can not enter BIOS so it must be a hardware change.

• Kickstart PXE boot install ESXi invites you always to press 'Enter '.

  Hello

  I'm working on a configuration to boot PXE ENTIRELY automated with a kick start script.  The problem I have is just after the initial installation, Setup prompts the user to press the ENTER key.  And he is right there waiting for entry, making my PXE fully automated just a dream.  Has anyone figured out if there is flag that I can put in the Kick Start script to make quick installation not after install me?

  Just drag a command to reboot before the firstboot %

• Firefox did not always stop when you press Alt + F4

  When I press Alt and F4, it often happens that the window closes, but the process does not stop. After that I closed Firefox and tried to restart, it opens only every second or third time without error messages. When it opens correctly, it shows the following error message, "Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. »
  When I look at the Task Manager, it shows that the firefox.exe process works, but doesn't show any activity (FYI, the memory usage is normal). The process is shown here as a background process (FYI, a feature to win 8 and background processes are visible only in the detail view of the Task Manager). When I stop the task, Firefox open regularly.
  So, the problem is that when Firefox must be closed windows are closed, the process does not stop.
  This problem happened very rarely with the previous version of Firefox, Firefox 29, it turns as often as described above.

  Hello Haris o InStr, unfortunately it's currently a bug in the current version of firefox when you set your story to be erased at the stop of firefox - which is the subject of an investigation and by train to be fixed by the developers of mozilla with a high priority.

• After installing ESXi 5.1 computer does not boot any device

  Hello VMware Experts,

  This certainly isn't my are of expertise as I work most of the time on the bet network but in any case here is my problem area, and I hope that some of you can help me with this.

  So I bought a PC on Ebay hoping that I could define as an ESXi Server (here's the link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gateway-Intel-i5-3330-3GHz-8GB-1TB-Windows-8-Desktop-PC-DX4870-UB318-/321165075173?pt=Desktop_PCs & hash = item4ac6ee22e5 )

  )

  So I downloaded ESXi 5.1 and begun to installed

  First surprise, I had (it did not recognize my network card, I went to amazon and bought an Intel PCI Express NIC to get there)

  After 2 weeks, I received it today.

  Finally, I put the PCI network card in the motherboard and begin the installation.

  Everything seems to be perfect, great when I had until I completed the installation... I smile and then saw the message Installation successful, remove the CD from the CD room and restart the server.

  Right Awesooome! But then the problem occurred.

  After that the unit is back from the restart process he did not recognize any boot image installed on the drive hard (hard disk already set from the BIOS as a startup option)

  An error message like:

  does not recognize the bootable media

  I tried re installation, overwriting without success. (Same behavior)

  I know it's a very simple process, but what might happen here,

  Any ideas?

  Kind regards

  I have no idea why you install esxi on a metal bere machine but I assume you want for a lab at home.

  Well from my experience, when I started to learn Vsphere 5.1 - I was installing windows 7 on a desktop computer - then bought Vmware Workstation - I installed 5 ESXI host on it and tested all the features (HA, DRS, FT, VMotion etc.).

  I have a HDD i5 Desktop 2 t and 32 GB of Ram - but you could look for at least 8 GB of Ram it works perfectly.

  Let me know if you need help setting up Esxi in workstation...

• NETWORK card not detected after installing ESXi 4.1?

  Hi all

  I installed the ESXi Server 4.1 on a single server with the following configurations,

  CPU = Intel (R) CPU Xeon X 3430 @ 2.40 GHz

  Memory = 16GB

  NIC = Intel 82574 L Gigabit Network connection-2 no

  After that ESXi installation a NIC card not detected. But two cards network is the same configuration. Due to this problem, I can not configure grouping of NETWORK cards. Please suggest me. Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  On the screenshot that you are using a motherboard Intel S3420GP. Just a NETWORK card is 82574L, the other on board is a 82578DM, which is not supported. So you will need additional network cards.

  See you soon,.

• Add Teddy after installing ESXi 5

  Hello

  Can we add physical ESXi Server NETWORK card after we have installed ESXi 5 in the box? ESXi 5 will detect new physical network cards?

  I have a lab at home at home with a beefy server that I have VMware workstation 8 installed top.

  I created 7 VMs to be also my ESXi servers, a domain controller and a server vCenter Server (all virtual machines)

  My original for ESXi virtual machines configuration had 8 NIC in them for doing tests. (especially dVS)

  After VM 4th, ESXi, I forgot to add NICs while I was creating the virtual and installed ESXi machine with only 1 nic card.

  After you add the esxi in my vcenter, I recognized my mistake. So I stop the ESXi and added 7 NICs more.

  My assumption was after the restart of the ESXi, new network cards will be detected. But apparently not.

  I know that I have not hit any maximum rates in my VMware workstation 8 because in ESXi6 and ESXi7, I remembered to add NIC cards prior to installation, and I can see them in my vCenter Server.

  What Miss me? Is it because the ESXi are nested or even in the physical environment if I add NICs, they will not be detected after reboot?

  I'm sure that this was not the case in vSphere 4.

  Thank you

  Hello

  perhaps rather E1000 vNIC you added the VMXNET card? I have this same setup as the yours, and each time when I add a new vNIC to my virtual ESXi detects the new adapter

  See you soon

• UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

  Hello world

  I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

  In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

  Hoping someone could help me.

  Llianovich,

  Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)

• C200 M2 LFF does not see the disks in the start menu after installing ESXi

  So in front of me, I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and a controller LSI Megaraid 9260 - 4i and 4 drives of 1 TB SAS. I put the disks in a RAID 5 array, I created a 10 GB virtual disk and properly installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a data store.

  However, I can't get the thing to boot. It isn't even an option. The only storage in the boot menu option corresponds to the DVD player. If I look at the mass storage controller configuration, in fact, 0 and 4 SATA ports are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD player.

  I tried fiddling with the settings of the BIOS without a bit of luck. Currently, the integrated controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set on improved (which seems to be the default, and what is recommended with Megaraid cards). It is a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 by delivery, which seems to be a number of separate reference only), so I didn't have to assemble whatever it is and I guess that all the cables are connected at the factory. I opened the server, and I can say that all the cables look connected.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's good, but seeing as I can't actually install the operating system there must be something stupid miss me.

  Disable the onboard Controller. This is software raid ICH10R.

  Reset. Then in the fixed CIMC/BIOS boot order and pint at the LSI.

  For the most recent ESXi 5.0, go to VMWare and search for ' ESXi 5.0 cumulative 2.

• Purple screen after installing ESXi 4, pf exception (14) in the world

  Hello

  I get a purple screen after starting the esxi host 4. I get the following exception: exception (14) in the xxxx world pf

  I tried the esxi version 4 with update 1 and without. both had the same problem...

  The server is a "new" hp proliant dl120g6...

  Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Welcome to

  Everything seems to point to the sfcbd process (CIM providers). But it is a hypothesis. All this :).

  Running a version of esxi HP custom computers no HP support can produce weird effects. For this reason, it is highly public using this type of installation.

  I'm not really an alternative for what you want. To monitor (in a tight way) on esxi, you must use a supported HP computer. If this isn't the case, you must use a version of esxi vanilla without waterproof hardware monitoring.

  Please, remember to mark a useful or appropriate response.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

  Whenever I have navigate in the history of any given chat messages (i.e. the cursor is not in the box of typin) if I have the 'alt' key hiot enforcement breaks down.

  Devices to freeze for a few minutes, and then it needs a reboot to restore the application.

  It is very annoying.

  This is confirmed by thedeveloppers?

• After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

  Help?

  I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

  Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

  The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

  If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

• After installing windows, there are a lot of blue screen errors

  Hello
  I just installed windows 7 ultimate. I've had computer problems for quite some time now. I tried a new operating system and I always get blue screen errors. These mistakes will be due to the lack of drivers (I have only installed 2 and everything that has been installed in the Service pack 1) or the malfunctioning of the equipment. Could you analyze these dump files and get back to me?

  Running on Windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit OS

• Computer froze after installing Firefox, the computer starts to a blank screen in normal mode

  I wonder if there is no assistance more.

  As I mentioned some key programs do not have their start menu folders filled at all. Skype, office, packages of adobe package, etc. However other things as accessories is filled.

  I can access through files c:\Program but that isn't exactly the most ideal thing.

  Thank you

  Thank you for your response.

  You can type the name of the program in the area of research, make a right click the program name when it appears and PIN which start menu.

  For example: If you want to have Microsoft Word on the start menu, type Microsoft Word in the search box, right-click Microsoft Word when it appears in the search list, and select Pin to Start Menu.

  See the photos below:

  

  

  You can also right click on the name of the program files c:\Program and PIN to start menu or the taskbar

  Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.
