  • After restoring to factory setting... ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged

    I have a problem with my Asus R500VD laptop.

    My phone was at a standstill after I opened a few applications and after waiting for a while, I decided to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds. After that, I got a BSOD error 0xc0000221 saying ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged. I tried to go back to a previous system restore point, tried chkdsk /r (no error based), tried bootrec with all options (it shows 0 found windows installations), tried a full restore to factory (using the on my laptop's recovery partition), but nothing has worked. I always get the error above.

    When I restart, it tries to automatically repair the system (that works, it cannot solve problems automatically) and at some point it changes recent cancellations (complete the recovery I think). I tried the different boot options, but nothing seems to work.

    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? It doesn't seem to be any corruption in the filesystem (chkdsk), ntoskrnl.exe is not missing...

    Thanks for your help! Greaty I appreciate it! Tips are welcome!

    Hi Blueelvis,

    No, unfortunately I don't have a spare HARD drive. But... I sent it back to the shop where I bought it. Should still be under warranty. I have included all our correspondence to give them an overview of what has been tried. Thanks for your help! I hope that I get a replacement or they're going to fix it. I also ran memtest86 + using The Ultimate Boot Disk and he found loads of errors--not sure whether memory is as bad or if it has something to do with the 8 GB with 64-bit processor.

    Best,

    Hi Ak_609,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When you receive the error message from error checking?

    First unplug all external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then try to boot to the desktop and let us know the status.

    Method 1

    Check if the computer starts in safe mode and after back with the results.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    Method 2

    If the computer starts in safe mode then I would suggest you to perform control and clean boot if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is at the origin of the problem in normal mode.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    3. Choose "restart".
    4. I restart the computer, press the F8 key and hold.  I tried at the beginning of the sequence to reboot and after that the light appears on the mouse, but still before the windows logo appears.
    5. Restart the computer in normal mode.
    6. I tried the key down and also tried pressing the F8 key several times both giving the same results without success.
    7. To eliminate the possibility of a bad keyboard, I switched from keyboards with the same results.

    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  • Compaq Presario SR5130NX: Cannot start Windows Vista after failure - HELP!

    Hello! My building has undergone a complete failure so 4 days ago I used it. Power resumed 3 hours later, but I was not able to log on since.





    Normally, I turn on my PC, and about 30 seconds later, a window pops up asking you my password. After entering it, the PC come by my office. Now, when I turn on the PC, it brings me to a blue screen with a mouse cursor in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    When I press F8 during the boot process and choose an option from the window "Advanced Boot Options", I still can't start my computer normally.





    Here's the "Advanced Boot Options" I tried, after consultation with my brother a little more PC-savvy:





    1 repair your computer - after I see my black screen that is usual with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under the green bars that scroll from left to right for about 15 seconds, a blue screen appears with the mouse pointer in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    2 mode safe - while the PC display several files on start up and down, it stops on "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys" for about 20 seconds, then proceeds to a black screen with the words "Safe Mode" in the 4 corners and the mouse cursor at the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.





    3 safe mode with network - see "Safe Mode" above.





    4 safe mode with command prompt - see 'Safe Mode' above.





    5 last known good Configuration (Advanced) - see "repair your computer" above.





    6 start Windows normally - see "Repair your computer" above.





    7 debug mode - see "Repair your computer" above.





    I downloaded a DVD recovery based on Linux in knopper.net, allowing me to access important files, which I copied from the desktop to an external hard drive (4.1 GB iso file).





    PC Windows XP of my brother has a recovery disk, but my Windows Vista PC did not come with one. I've seen a few paid versions, but looked resources due to cool weather and free shipping.





    I can't tell if I have the 23-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, so I downloaded both versions of an open source sourceforge.NET startup repair, which I burned on 2 DVDs. After you run the startup repair program using two DVD, the diagnostic results have been uploaded online at ubuntu.com for review and technical analysis. Here are the links:

    The last report ended with the words "start managed to fix...".  You can now restart your computer. "But I always encounter a blank screen (black or blue) when I try to log on to my PC.





    Here are my details of PC, if it is useful:

    Hello

    Since you already have KNOPPIX I try Gparted and use it to 'clean up' the score because it will stop in an impure State.

    NTFS

    [1][11]NTFS-3 g / important

    GParted will try.

    Also, I would consider the old problem with fat systems, floppy disks etc. which sometimes a copy of sys files from a floppy disk to a hard drive has reactivated a bootable system.

    So, if system files have been damaged, then replace them since a Setup disk.  Because he goes to options, what kind of work.

  • Error 0 x 00000024 cannot start Windows Vista

    Original title: 0 x 00000024 (0xFFFFFA80061c9530, 0xFFFFFFFF0000102, 0 x 0000000000190444, 0 x 0000000000000000)

    My girlfriends computer crashed last night and when trying to restart it gets just past the windows loading bar and then freezes with a black screen. I tried to restart running and loading safe mode, nothing works. I've used for a disc to boot from vista and which resulted in the freezing of the same in the same place as boot from the hard drive. I managed to get an error report which gave me the following codes:

    0 x 00000024 (0xFFFFFA80061c9530, 0xFFFFFFFF0000102, 0 x 0000000000190444, 0 x 0000000000000000)

    I am reletively in computer science, have always been able to save my computers except when something physical was wrong, but it's something that seems beyond me my DIY. I succumbed in discovering what exactly each of these codes, even though I know that they tell me what the problem is. Any help anyone could give would be appreciated that the whole College career is on the computer, including all the information it needs to complete its high seminar this semester and graduated.

    Hello

    A "Stop: 0 x 00000024" error message occurs when Windows Vista encounters an unrecoverable error when it tries to access an NTFS partition or a volume on the hard disk. As a general rule, you receive a "Stop: 0 x 00000024" error message during Windows Vista Setup when one or more of the following conditions are met:
    The structure of the filesystem or partition is damaged.
    There is a driver compatibility problem. For example, the driver of file system for a program antivirus or other utility can cause this problem.
    To troubleshoot a "Stop: 0 x 00000024" error message when you try to upgrade to Windows Vista, use one or more of the following methods, depending on your situation.

    Attention it is recommended that you perform a backup completes before you implement one of the following methods.

    Method 1:
    Run the CHKDSK program
    To run the CHKDSK (Chkdsk.exe) program, follow these steps:

  • Cannot start Windows Vista, even dvd installation

    I started my Dell Inspiron 1420 under Windows Vista Home Premium in place and led to a warning screen indicating an error in startup.  As stated, I started from my Vista installation DVD.  I ran the Startup Repair tool, and it failed.  The event log has been as follows:

    Problem event name: StartupRepairV2

    I then ran the System Restore tool and it failed.  I then ran the Memory Diagnostics tool, and it found no errors.  Given the lack of success, I decided to reformat and reinstall.  I used the Advanced Options in Windows Vista Setup DVD to remove the Partitions, format the drive and install Windows.

    Post installation Windows started successfully the first time but was running slowly.  I tried to download the drivers from the CD of Installation of Dell, but automatic execution failed, and when I tried to copy individual files, it also failed.  I decided to reboot the machine, but instead of Windows, I got a blank screen with white cursor blinking in the upper left corner.  I tried to reboot from the Installation DVD and once the progress opening white Windows files completed bar, I was presented with a black screen and a cursor again.

    Since then, I was not able to start any CD/DVD successfully.  What should I do now?  I am happy to reformat and try again, but I can not even on the screen to do.

    Help!  Please?

    Hello Nick_98,

    If we are hanging up when you use the installation disc, then the installation disc has problems or hardware on the computer problems that must be addressed before moving forward, there

    I advise to use diagnostics provided by your manufacturer to check for hardware problems.

    Please note that if the equipment passes the test, it simply means that no error has been detected it.  If we turn to the top of the sensitivity on the diagnosis, we can find errors.

    Best regards

    Don t think that this procedure works on your Pro A40. It is a European series and as much as I know this option (by pressing the 0) is not available on European laptops.
