    Hello

    In this case I suggest you select the option 'System of valuation (restore your computer to its original factory State)' - this will reinstall Windows 7, all software drivers and original, and all of the original scores.

    At the beginning of this procedure, you will have the option to backup your files (providing the files have not been corrupted)-this can be done for a connected external HDD or usb flash drives.  A full description of the backup process are under the heading "If you want to back up your personal files, follow these steps to create a back-up" on the following link.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867418

    Once completed, continue with the Factory Reset.

    **************************************************************

    Once the process is complete recovery, you'll always be able to create your 1 set of recovery on a usb flash drive media - the procedure is detailed in the HP document on the following link.

    Create recovery media - Windows 7.

  • MacBook (2010) starts with black screen with flashing Apple logo

    I recently got ahold of a Macbook Pro 2010 running very slow so I did a reinstall of the operating system (which was a living nightmare, Macintosh is not as easy to manage as it was at the time of PowerPC) once I got to the top and running, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan (an update (not an upgrade I already had a version out there) once I rebooted and let the computer do its thing he began to start up normally, but after finishing the progress bar, he went to a black screen (with the screen still on) that flashed the boot from time to time Apple logo. I forced shut down the computer and start in safe mode with success (that's how I'm typing this post now).

    Thanks in advance.

    When you reinstalled, did you remove any third-party system before reinstalling.

    A Mac that runs in Mode without failure, but are generally not normally indicates some incompatible system changes.

    Software common problems are things that are intended to clean, protect, optimize, accelerate, or otherwise maintain your Mac.

    All of a sudden my laptop won't start more. It turns on, displays screen toshiba for a second and then goes to a black screen with a blinking white line in the upper left corner. I can't type something here! The last time I used it it was 100% very well, I have not downloaded anything so I'm very curious to what it might be.

    Hi mate,

    You can access the BIOS? If so, check if your HARD drive is recognized. If so I think that it of necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore, take the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Black screen with flashing '_' in the upper left corner.

    Im running Vista 64-bit Home Premium and recently ran chckdisk because the computer found some "bad sectors" and prompted me to run. After reboot, the computer loads the image in which I can press "delete" to enter the bios (which I do), then press "tab" to go to the post OFFICE (which has no effect and always load the black screen with a '_' blinking at the top left. If I do nothing, the black screen with the '_' blinking always appears after the image. I can't start in safe mode or access the "Advanced Boot Options". The only thing I can do after the black screen is press "ctrl alt del" in which the same process begins.

    I bought my computer from online retailer so it did not come with any CD to restore/recover...

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes to the system?

    Check her unplug all devices external (except keyboard and mouse) and if you are able to boot.

    If this isn't the case, I suggest you contact the manufacturer or retailer for a Windows Vista Installation DVD.

    Once you have the DVD you can try to perform the Startup Repair.

    Method 1: Run a startup repair.

    (a) Insert the disc.

    (b) restart your computer using the power button on the computer.

    (c) If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    (d) If your computer is not configured to boot from a CD/DVD, check the documentation that came with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

    (e) choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    (f) If you are using the Windows installation disc, click Startup Repair. (g) click ok when you are prompted.   Follow the steps in the link to perform a startup repair. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/startup-repair-frequently-asked-questions

  • Black screen with a white flashing dashboard on the top left corner

    I try to use the recovery disks (four in total). I put the first disc in and it ran on F11 and it ran, then he asked me to assess extra and who ran very well. Then he asked for 1 system recovery disc and that went very well, last she asked me to put in disc 2 of the system recovery and all I got was a black screen with a related flashing on the top left corner of the screen and it did not run. So now I'm stuck, and the disk 2 and 3 did not perform. Help! I really don't want to spend three hours on the phone with HP. I have a HPE-470F, Windows 7

    I hope we can get it worked. Normally you do not press F11 when you use recovery discs. Not sure, but you may have triggered a step wrong using it.

    Follow the instructions here closely again with an attempt to recover:

  • Black screen, high regular of underscore on the left does not start after reflashing the BIOS F.38 on HP2000-363NR

    HP2000 363NR, recently tried flashing the BIOS F.38 (here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116227-1&cc=us&dlc=&lc=en&o... ) to solve a problem of overheating.

    Well, it was a mistake.

    Now it does not start at all.

    Fans spinning upwards. Hard disk rotates.

    By pressing ESC, F1, F2, F9, F10 and F11 at startup to give appropriate (fast!) messages but then go to the same place:

    Black screen with flashing underscore in the top left. Leave it to this screen has no effect.

    Never see no text except the quick messages in the lower left (or "Press the ESC key for the system menu" down left based on nothing).

    Out and the relocation of memory does not work. Boot with a DIMM module does not work. Now hold power for one minute while the battery and plug on does not work.

    Battery is fully charged.

    OS is Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, came with the laptop.

    Is it possible to return this BIOS?

    -Me

    Thanks to Xraytim in the post below, short-circuit the battery CMOS me returned to the previous BIOS. Need to remove card system as a whole to achieve this * beep * connector, but 34 screws later (34 = some # between 15 and 50), BIOS is back, problem solved.

  • Computer won't turn on completely (black screen with blinking cursor) after installing windows updates

    8/7, the following updates have been installed correctly:

    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 86

    Update definition for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.63.1021.0)

    Following this installation, the display resolution has been reset to be very low.  When you try to reset the resolution, I was alerted to a driver problem, so tried installing this in vain (below error code)

    Intel Corporation - display - Intel (r) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family

    Error details: Code 800703E3

    After that, he went to sleep the computer, but was unable to select 'sleep' (it is grayed out) but the stop keys option indicates that the updates were ready to install so I stop thinking which may help.  It was last night.  This morning, the computer was on, seen the screen DELL, then a black screen with flashing white cursor in the upper left corner.  I tried ctrl-alt-del, got the dell screen appears again, then black screen.  I tried ctrl-alt-del, thinking I could try one of the options key F at this time, but he won't even go to this point, the dell blank screen just screen.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated!  It is the second major problem that I had recently after updates vista install (the last time I temporarily lost access to all my files, because they were placed under a temporary user account that had been created!)

    Thank you!

  • First HP screen, then a black screen with a flashing underscore

    Hello!

    I bought a new graphics (Asus GeForce GT 740 PhysX CUDA 2 GB) card for my desktop PC (HP Pavilion p6-2067sc) and have a problem. When I put in the card and start the PC the HP screen sometimes maybe 20 seconds and after that it's a black screen with a line flashes in the upper left corner. Ive tried many things to fix it, but have not found ways again, I updated from the BIOS to the latest update from HP.

    OK, I just found out that if I connect the vga input mother board and boot the pc, and after 5 minutes I plug the vga in the gfx card, it shows that windows started normally, and im on the desktop, I now try to install the drivers etc and see if that will fix it.

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9220y PC, black screen with blinking underscore.

    Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9220y with Windows 7. I have a black screen with a flashing underscore.

    I stood and went to the bathroom and came back to this (on fiance mobile atm). If I go, I can do ctrl + alt + delete and get everything except the system recovery... so I made a recovery CD.

    In the recovery CD, I get the options to
    Startup Repair
    System restore
    System Image recovery

    Windows Memory Diagnostic
    Command prompt.

    I have everything but my mouse, screen and keyboard connected. No CD in except for the recovery CD.

    Startup Repair found nothing, so I tried to restore the system... He said it restored to an earlier date, but I get the same screen and the same options... So I tried the following steps:

    Boot from the new rescue CD, select repair your computer and choose the command line. When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

    Bootrec.exe

    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    c:

    Boot CD

    BCD attrib s h - r

    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    Bootrec /fixmbr

    Bootrec /fixboot

    Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

    Above always leads to have the black screen with the underscore flashing with the same options available... I'm so lost...

    If possible, I'd like to back up my files I have. I have plans on my computer that I spent working long hours and lots of family photos. BUT if this is not possible (I have not access to a second round to save the files), then I'm more than willing to start again... I want to just that my computer back... I have not even had it for three years yet.

    So any help to get back on the rails would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.


  • Pavilion dv6 - 7013cl - black screen with caps lock led flashes constantly at startup.

    The laptop was running hot. I cleaned the dust from the fan area. The battery is bad. I checked the voltage on the charger that was 43v - bought a new charger is 18.5 v. I wiped the ram and started with one and moved to different positions. I have now a black screen with the cap lock key blinks blue continuously and the f12 key led light ceases to orange. Any suggestions what I should try next and which snaps the seeing Cap continuously flashes means - that is a code or have a meaning?

  • Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

    I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).

    If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.
