computer dead after reboot xp update

After the restart of all our computers, we had four crashing.  All show the windows startup screen and then go black with the cursor in the middle.  Was able to restart my laptop but my office does nothing.  Same thing with my another desktop computer and another at the office.  All of them are runing xp home edition.  I heard talk more about 50 years crashing in my town and is probably not even scratching the surface.  What has caused this.  Can I recover my files?

KY-rulez,
Make sure that you have gone through all the steps in this thread: XP without boot troubleshooting

If the problem persists try the following commands.

If you can boot into Safe Mode with command prompt, or if you have a XP CD and you can boot into the Recovery Console, and then run the following commands.

Chkdsk /r

sfc/scannow (you will need an XP CD for this command)

  • computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday night

    Hi, Kevin

    My computer crashed after the automatic update Tuesday evening. The message indicates that the demand for window vista (which initially provided with the Lenovo computer, that I bought new in 2007) is not valid. When I rebooted and you press F5, it offers 3 options 'Security Mode', but no return explicitly beforehand updated status.

    I'm not familiar with uninstalling and restoring systems. Can you walk me through the process? Can I uninstall or restore when the computer is in mode security (limited capacity)? How a WAIK/Windows PE image downloaded to another computer to help me with the computer that is out?

    Your suggestion to install SP2 apply to windows vista home basic version, 2007?

    Thank you!

  • Computer hangs after installing windows updates...

    computer hangs after the installation of update.  Full system restore and the computer worked fine for a week. Has started having problems still... verified and automatic updates for windows have been downloaded and installed today. Confused about where to go from here. Help, please. Thank you!

    To be clear, the issue is not appeared since the updates have been installed one at a time, correct?

    KB2447568 is A compatibility view list update is available for Windows Internet Explorer 8:23 November 2010
    The KB updates a file in Internet Explorer.
    There is a small chance that Trend Micro has a conflict with the update. If this is the issue, then there would be more posts on this topic.
    This looks like a temporary glitch occurred.

    The only suggestion I would make is that when there are a bunch of updates, as there was in December, then it would be better to install the most complex by themselves.
    This would mean that changing setting Windows updates for "download updates for me, but let me choose whether to install them.
    For example, the cumulative update for Internet Explorer, KB2416400, would be installed last, and by himself.

    And, since you pick a time to install updates that have been previously downloaded, then you can install them in groups of 4 and If it is another problem caused by them or their installation, you will be able to refine specific update was the cause.

  • Dead after reboot USB ports?

    Hi all

    Today, I restarted my computer, and after that it starts in the login screen, I discovered that the USB ports are insensitive! They worked fine before the restart. Usb profits don't feed and are completely dead. I use Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium. Help please?

    A solution will be greatly appreiciated.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I would be grateful if you could provide us with the following information:

    1. What were the last changes on the computer before ports USB worked well?
    2. The problem occurs with some USB devices or all?

    USB port may stop responding, if there is a problem with the USB controllers installed on the computer. I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers and check if it helps:

    To uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, type Device Manager in the start search box and press ENTER.

    2. expand Bus USB controllers.

    Note You need to scroll the list to find this point.

    3. right click on the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers and then click Uninstall to remove it.

    4. repeat the above steps for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

    5 restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    6. check the USB device to see if it works.

     
    Hope this solves the problem. If the problem persists, you can write back to us and we will be happy to help you further.
  • Xperia Z3 Compact dead after reboot (update of the marshmallow)

    If after updating my Z3 Compact 6.0 android, I restarted my phone manually to try to refresh my data to media. However the phone just turned off and does not turn around. Attempts to try to restart the phone were unnecessary. I tried to connect to a PC, but my PC would be unrecognized device such that it could have been corrupted. Someone has encountered this problem after updating to the new software? Thank you!

    I tried this but did not work. However surprisingly I fixed it by leaving just the battery take by itself (may take a day or two), then load through an ankle and everything was fine. No data is lost. I tested it on twice and it works for my phone. But of course if I restart my phone now it will always dead temporarily. Could be a software problem.

  • The computer hangs after reboot cold.

    I just bought a HP Officejet AIO 6310xi. After several tests the OEM package will install not (installation failure). From the Web site and out of the CD/DVD included.

    I let MS-Vista install drivers and at least the printer works fine until reboot. Then the system freezes upward. Once I have turned the printer off and restart again the computer starts no prob. I have 6300 drivers and suspect that the drivers are up-to-date and incompatible with MS Vista. My computer is only a year old and during the inspection of the hub USB the draw appears in the settings (below 500 mha).

    The cable is less than 9 feet long. I have enough computer resources including backbone RAM and HD space.

    Is there anyway that I can get Vista drivers for this printer only without going through an arduous process for a long time?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    It seems that the USB driver are to blame. But after I re-installed the new drivers of hub USB the computer always freezes the re-boot. It is not the most recent, I have found yet. The bios does not seem to be a problem because it is a Dec 2006 re - build. I guess it's a matter of waiting until the USB hub drivers are updated.

  • Computer crash after February 2010 updates vista

    My laptop downloaded the lates updates to windows, when the computer restarted, he would go to the logo screen of windows with the green bar travel corporation moving, but it freezes it.  I tried restoring the system, chckdsk, Recovery Console, memory check and change the renaming of the sdbus.inf, sdbus. Pilot not flying mcmcia.sys and ohci1394.sys to .old without change in results.  When I try to start in safe mode with and without networking, that the system hangs at crcdisk.sys I even spent money (few hundred) for a third tech no help.  I was told that I need a vista cd to repair the problem in the end.  My laptop did not come with a cd of vista so what is next?  I'm certaing that everything on the laptop is opperational and updates crashed my system which is a HP Pavilion TX 2510 U.S. with Vista Home Premium installed.

    My system is finally underway, I hope.  I have not done a reboot, but wanted to check in French - in case someone else had the same problems I had.  After several troubleshooting steps, I realized that I avoided the simplicity during the troubleshooting process.  Something caused my hanging cd/dvd player, causing the system to stall.  Check if the light on your which is while the system is suspended.  If so, you may have the same problem.  I don't know if it was the update or just a coincidence that it happened at the same time, but all those who, here's what I did to get running back without losing all my data and downloaded the software.

    I went into my bios (press ESC at start-up incase you don't know how to get there) and I turned off my cd-rom drive (you will have to look around in your own bios, because I believe that all systems are somewhat different) and set to start at the last.  I hit F10 to exit and save and the sytem retrieved using any return to the standard to this day.  I then created a system for future accidents drive although I had access to mine during troubleshooting by pressing F8 during startup.  I need never hope that the recovery disks that I do not lose software installations.  I do; However, all my data saved on my network.  I highly recommend this process long and tedious to do systematically as my system was working at full performance, when I stumbled on this 2 day troubleshooting dedication.

    Thanks for your reply quck Michael Murphy.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate incase my methods did not work.

  • HIS 60 dead after trying to update BIOS

    Since we bought the machine we had problems with the graphics card when the machine goes to sleep (returns with a low resolution). I checked this forum and found messages recommending to try a bios update. I tried this (using the correct update) and the machine just hung when it ran saying preparing the bios update.

    After about an hour, nothing happened and the machine was just hanging - everything we could do was to removed the battery. Now, it is quite dead, and it's not even a power led. We tried to remove the battery, double checked the connection to the sector and he died. Help appreciated - it is a big problem for us.

    Hi Adrien,.

    It seems that if the main Board may have failed in your laptop. I recommend contacting a center of Service Toshiba.

  • Satellite P200-1 has 2 dead after trying to update the Bios

    Hello

    I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS firmware of Toshibas site (European site). I checked it clearly with the model nr and serial nr. I went on the northern site to update bios and downloaded the latest drivers and BIOS.

    My laptop Satellite P200-1 has 2 and the nr series is PSPB6E-02J023N5. Toshibas site, I downloaded all the drivers needed and bios. I started with the installation of the BIOS, when I tried to install it, then my pc froze.

    My food was on.
    The fan went beserk everything and the screen froze.
    I tried to let it run for 30 minutes, because I was afraid to interrupt the installation. I couldn't wait anymore, so I turned off the pc by removing the battery and power.

    When I then tried to turn on the laptop, nothing happens. All black screen.

    Can anyone help? I used the correct BIOS driver of Toshiba's own home page, but apparently it didn't work. How do I restore the BIOS? I don't know what BIOS I use.

    What I've done so far is:

    1. use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool with MiniDOS files to make your Flash Bootable drive: USB
    2 copy all the files from backup for your: USB key
    3 rename your BIOS to bios.wph file and copy it in your: USB stick. I downloaded the same BIOS firmware and downloaded as EXE file, I extracted the exe file and found a file called. ROM and I renamed the entire file in bios.wph
    4. remove the battery, unplug the computer from power.
    5. hold: Fn + B, then all in now the computer in power (do not connect the battery) and close the power button.

    But after that, nothing happens.

    I'm afraid that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS of m.
    It seems that your ROM module, where are stored the BIOS was not flashed properly.

    I guess you checked this thread because the procedure described is her even that you posted your message.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=54395

    However, maybe you should try the procedure using the floppy and disk crisis described in the other thread.

  • The computer hangs after installing an update from McAfee.

    When McAfee performs an update on my computer, sometimes it takes turn off computer and do a reboot before they take effect.  Well, here's where the problems start.  When the computer turns back the cursor will not work, I have no way of online and even less off the computer.  I had to manually shut down the computer and restart with no luck there, too.  I had to resort to a restoration of systems even get the computer to work.  McAfee came with MSN I use and there has been no touble until last month of December.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have dial to connect.
    Thank you very much!

    Original title: McAfee update

    Personally, I would recommend dumping McAfee and using a more reliable program such as Microsoft Security Essentials.  Except that if, you should contact McAfee and see why it creates so many problems for you.

  • Z3 dead after trying to update

    I tried to update my Z3 this afternoon, downloaded the PC companion and the update. I plugged my phone as instructed and he started to update. Companion PC came with a notification that there no internet connection, although there was that the loading of web pages were normally. I clicked retry on the pop up box, but nothing helped. Companion PC rebooted and my phone will be the first Sony Xperia black page on start up and stop there.

    The phone will not let me turn off just power button, I need to hold the power button / stop and the volume to be able to descend. When the screen Sony, PC companion doesn't detect the phone, saying no phone/Tablet not connected. When I turn off the phone using the power + flight buttons, PC companion then recognizes the phone, I try to go to software update of the phone, a screen will appear asking how to connect, I press ok and the screen doesn't go away, when I press cancel it brings back me to the PC companion selection screen. After a minute of phone being turned off and plugged into the USB port, the phone lights, displays the black start to the Sony Xperia screen and stays there. Then companion PC does not recognize the phone.

    Please help, its driving me crazy

    @Bennyfromtheblock, for me, it looks like you connect the phone too early. When you perform a repair of software you should not the phone until the PC Companion shows you how to connect it.

    Follow these steps: force a shutdown of the device (WE / OFF + programmable volume for 5-10 seconds) > without connecting the phone, press "Start" on the support area > press 'Start' of phone / Tablet Software Update > now, you will get a message that says "could not find phone / tablet" > in this message, you have to press the blue clickable link "fix my phone / tablet" > you will start a step by step guide that takes your grace to repair and This guide will also tell you when and how to do to connect the phone.

    @Tanke_MD, you have an internet connection all the time when you try to repair or update the phone? You must have an internet connection through any update/repair process. If you do, you use a Proxy or similar for your connection? Or maybe you have a firewall/antivirus which blocks PC Companion.

  • Black screen after reboot XP

    On my husbands computer all it can get after that restart is a black screen with the cursor showing, after it does appear the welcome with the blue bar of windows mobile screen.  The computer was working fine all day, he was doing research and everything froze, his slider when placed above the start button would show only an hourglass so that he could not restart normally must manually turn off the computer. After reboot, all he got was a black screen with the cursor showing, nothing else.  I tried to boot in safe mode and chose several options, but whenever he could bring up a black screen showing 'safe mode' in each of the corners of the screen and a set of numbers followed SP3 upstairs at the center of the screen, nothing else.   I couldn't do a system restore or anything whatever, and I suspect that the problem came from the last automatic update.  I see most of the questions on this help dealing with Vista, has anyone using XP Home figured out how to fix it yet.  It's almost 4:00 and I worked on this for the last 4 hours!

  • The mouse settings not saved after reboot/restart

    I'm changing the speed at which my mouse pointer moves on the screen.  I'm doing a 'demand' the change, and then click on 'ok '.   The point of the mouse moves faster in the game.  Then after reboot/restart the computer, the mouse setting is default slower movement speed.   The changes are not saved after reboot.   What keeps the change of speed of movement of the mouse to be saved?

    Mr. Brian,

    Please, try the following steps.  This should allow you to keep all the settings in the SetPoint software at the same time to solve your problem.

    1. click on the Start ORB, type msconfig in the Search box and hit Enter
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
      
    2. in the System Configuration dialog box, click the Startup tab
    3. Locate the entries called KHALMNPR or similar and uncheck the box next to them (there may only be a)
    4. click OK and restart your computer

  • Computer guard reboot after installing Vista updates.

    I downloaded and installed updates for Vista, and now I can not start Vista. The computer displays a message "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3 0% complete." for several seconds, then restarts. Start in safe mode does not help and I can not boot Vista. How can I solve the problem?

    Hello!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Here are answers to your questions and suggestions.

    (1) remember you to make changes to the computer before the show?

    I did all the changes except the installation of the hotfix.

    (2) you get an error message?

    N °

    Unfortunately, none of the suggested methods did not work and I could not star Windows.

    So I had to call to our local Microsoft Support Center, and the problem is solved. Unfortunately, I don't remember all the steps. I myself remember I had to rename c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml to pending.old, and then I couldn't windows starts. Then I had to make some modifications to save and delete files (I think it's the history of downloaded updates).
