The monitor shows no info yet. Just black says no signal and turns off. I have no option to boot or anything else besides. What I can do. Thank you

  Hello

  You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?

  You can connect the monitor to a different display port or connect another monitor if possible and check if it works very well.

  If the monitor is right, it implies that there is a problem with the graphics card or motherboard. In this scenario, I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  Hope the helps of information.

• 'the disk check utility requires exclusive access to Windows__files on disk' (my hard drive). "Re-start of Windows. __

  FAILED: attempt recovery of bad sectors (disk hard C)

  I followed the instructions to increase the speed of the PC on the home screen of the box to highlight the function of microsoft.com.

  I could access the program successfully on my home screen (Windows XP Edition family version 5.1 service pack 3.0).  Phase 1 of the scan completed successfully, but about 70% through the phase 2, the analysis stopped and I got this message: "the disk check utility requires exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk.  These are accessible only by re-starting Windows. "   I was in charge of restarting my computer and repeat the test.  I did this, but got the same message several times in a row.

  I use the MS Update center regularly, my Windows XP software has been certified 3 times as being Windows genuine, and I update MS Security Essentials at least every 2 days.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TRY!  As a general rule, ALL my other Windows functions work correctly & completely of my home screen.

  I also welcome Microsoft to have remote access to my computer, so that they can analyze & fix problems as well hardware & software automatically or from the center of MS Fix - IT.

  Please contact me at * address email is removed from the privacy * with specific instructions.  I'll try the center of update every day, where you will find all items that can be downloaded to fix this thank you for your continued support.  Joy Knobloch

  UPDATE WE CHECK DISK: 2 responses of PML & TWELCH were marked as possible answers.  After you schedule a check disk and shut down your computer, you must WAIT an hour or two before starting.  There is perhaps a long line of users waiting to get their audited records!  I finally managed to get the disk to run check (I also checked the box that says automatically correct errors).  BUT I NEVER GOT A CONFIRMATION MESSAGE THAT DIRECTLY STATED THAT ANY "BAD SECTORS" HAD BEEN RE-COVERED.

  LAST QUESTION: Can we assume that if the disk check ran completely and automatically corrected "problems", that the "DEFECTIVE SECTORS" have been found?

  Thanks to everyone who participated in this forum.  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  It is not clear what you were / are doing.  Try this:

  Start > run > chkdsk /f > OK

  A box appears with the following message:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by
  process.  You want to schedule this volume t
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Type Y and press ENTER.  Then, restart the computer.

  If, during the process that follows, you still receive the message "FAILED: attempt recovery of bad sectors (disk hard C)" or something similar, go to the website of the manufacturer of your drive hard drive and download the appropriate for your hard drive diagnostic tool.

  I also welcome Microsoft to have remote access to my computer, so that they can analyze & fix problems as well hardware & software automatically or from the center of MS Fix - IT.

  Unless you allowed to access remotely in accordance with a phone call to the support of MicrosoftTHAT YOU HAVE MOMENTUM, you must disable the remote access and Remote Desktop (right click on post work, select Properties, click on the 'Remote' tab).  In fact, you must disable these features now and only reactivate if still initiate you a phone call to technical support Microsoft and will need to enable them.

• Checking system files on...- One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. To skip disk checking, press a key in the second.

  The Windows boot splash screen appears and then I get the above message on a BACK screen when I start my laptop.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit... it does not recognize when I try to ignore it and it freezes.  I tried hard to stop and start again without luck to get past this screen.

  Suggestion:
  Let the system run the disk check. Will take some time, but let it run.
  After that, read the answer below on how to stop it in current check disk at startup.

• What happens during a disk check?

  I recently receive messages to run a disk check at the beginning so I wonder what exactly happens during a disk check, how long it takes and what are you doing to stop in an emergency. I would also like to know the consequences of not doing it soon enough and what it does exactly.

  It only checks that each file is correctly written to disk by making sure that record of the file system matches the actual file (for example, the size of the recorded file and the actual size are the same).  It takes a lot of time to read all the files, that is why a CHKDSK process can take several hours (or more).

  CHKDSK scans are not necessary and should not be executed unless your computer has a problem.  The NTFS file system is a file system jounaling which is very resistant to errors and correct them if necessary.  It can handle the delayed write failures and power outages and will schedule controls when necessary. In most cases, running a check of your own is just a waste of time (and the use of unnecessary disk, which will reduce the life expectancy of your hard drive).

  You can finish it safely if you want, simply press Ctrl-C together.

• Disabling the disk check

  Running Windows XP... Check disk on an external hard drive at startup.  How can I disable this feature?

  Disable the automatic check will prevent you to have notification of problems in the future.  If there is a problem, it is best solve the problem it is just to close the warning.

• Windows XP Pro can't find HD during the startup of the CD process.

  Lately, when my computer starts, it began to automatically run the disk check process. During the process, several files are either deleted or recovered. It's embarrassing so I tried to repair Windows XP Pro OS. The problem is that Windows does not detect the drives. I tried the ASR system, the R option to repair, and continues even with the start of the CD but Windows reports it cannot locate my hard drives. My motherboard is GA-81955 X Royal Gigibyte with 2 IDE hard drives of 40G and 2 DVD/CD players. Thanks for any help.

  The problem is in the AVG Antivirus software that I had to uninstall and remove all references to it in the registry. With no antivirus on the computer software, everything worked fine.

  Then, recently, there was an automatic update of Windows that enamored System32 of the computer records. Due the Gigibyte motherboard and how second HDD and DVD/CD player were to be installed to operate Windows has not found any drive C.

  To get the C drive to work again I had to remove it and install it in another computer as a slave drive XP then manually restore the files of System32. The restored files are not the same that have caused other problems. I tried to reinstall only the C drive and 1 DVD/CD drive but windows still not able to perform automatic recovery. Spent several weeks to correct the problems and reinstalling the software.

  The best solution would have been to reformat the C drive and reinstall the software, but I didn't know if I had backed up all my data.

  Hello, please help. I'm not very comp savvy. I run Windows 7 Professional on my computer, I think that it is a 64-bit AMD chipset? My problem is that I have tried everything I can to throw the disc check start ay (NTFS?, so will not work while the drive is in use). I get a message that I have a corrupt firmware and so cannot run diskcheck. Do not know what software it may be and cannot recover until diskcheck is done... Catch 22. I tried the command prompt in elevated mode... .even without help because of NTFS! I am also told by convenience store that my ATI driver is not loaded. Tried using Windows 7 installation disc to repair, but it does not seem to have this facility... I wanted to just re - install Windows. Tried to start my chipset reinstall but was not sure which item to choose. Lost, lost, lost. Help, please?

  First of all, scan SFC. The following link will help you:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  Then try running the disk check. If the problem persists, try running Seagate SeaTools from following link to scan the hard drive for errors (also works with hard drives Seagate-no):

Not only that, when it is started my PC, I checked all my hard drivesof driver name(I have 2 HARD drive, everything is very old)right click on C:\, click 'Properties' and then click 'Material' tag for the driver name lists. I don't see a single HARD drive driver name(it's in D:\), not on C:\ Name of the driver drive HARD, but in 'My Computer', it takes C:\ icon to click.

• The disk check runs every time you start, but never completed

  Original title: Check Disk computer error... Need help please

  Hello

  my computer is unable to check the disk... I believe that my windows vista crashed and when I turn on my computer... it continues to try to check the disk, but it keeps going and it never ends.  Someone told me I could used a program of different control on different portable media disc such that a cd could solve this problem.

  What is the way to bet to find such a program? Microsoft expects to have a disk of audit program which can be downloaded, or can you recommend something else?

  Thank you very much for your time and help

  Hello

  Make sure that you have the correct CD/DVD as first in the boot order in the BIOS. Do not forget
  to set again when finished.

  Check with HP support.

  -----------------------------------------

  If this does not help, it looks like you have a hardware problem.

  If the drive has completely failed you "might" be able to recover your data.

  You can also save the data and re-install Windows 7. The hard drive can be put in another
  computer as a 2nd drive (the best) or in an external USB enclosure. Either allows you to copy data
  for removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course, there are professional
  recovery
  services which are usually expensive - check with your local computer store and HP (one who
  his own internal service and not of leeks and display a Best Buy or other stores).

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

• Problem with the disk check.

  32-bit Vista Home Premium:

  About 6 months ago, I ran a Check Disk from my C drive (using Vista error checking tool) and checked the two boxes before starting (fix Auto file system and search for errors / attempt to recover bad sectors).

  He ran through the 1 5 6 controls without finding an error.

  On the 6th and final verification that it is running, it hung (or the 4th of 5 controls it works - do not remember if it is 5 or 6 it works). According to me, he started the final control, but stopped and none did not move. A few hours later he still hadn't moved, so I did a hard stop.

  Fortunately, everything was fine when I rebooted.

  I use the computer since then without problems/errors obvious hard drive, but I'm afraid to run another check of the disk, even though I would right now.

  Suggestions are welcome as to what might have caused the shot, and if I do another check of the disk.

  Yes, it's essentially the same command.  Personally, I never use the other method - I just use the one that I you provided.

  : You are right about the meaning switches - you already know or you're an awfully good guesser.  Since you have expressed interest, here's more information on CHKDSK you might find of interest with other switches and guidelines and some good information on how it works and how to use the results: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-check-disk-chkdsk.html.

  If you cannot complete a cHkdsk on your hard drive, then there is a problem with the player that must be resolved before it is any worse.  I would definitely give it another chance and also run the diagnostics that I recommended in a previous post.

  I hope this helps and I hope that the test completes successfully this time.  If this isn't the case, I hope that the diagnostic test identifies the problem and it can be repaired than replaced (even if it's pretty rare - usually if it goes wrong it must be replaced).  If this is the case, I would as soon as possible to ensure that it is not so bad that you can no longer access the drive at all - but then again, there may be nothing wrong and we could be worrying for nothing but a bad block or two which is nothing to worry about in itself.

  Good luck!
