  Hello

  · Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  · What is the model number of the computer?

  Usually, this would happen if the hard drive is not set correctly in the basic input/output system (BIOS) or the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) are incorrect.

  Basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. Basic input/output system (BIOS) is part of the hardware of your computer and is separate from Windows.

  Microsoft cannot provide specific instructions for changing your CMOS and BIOS settings because they are specific to your computer. For more information about the correct CMOS and BIOS settings for your computer and how to check and change these settings, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Dell Dimension 5150 won t boot

  Hey guys! My Dell Dimension 5150/510 running Windows XP Home Edition SP3 won't boot for some reason any. Whenever I press the power button the power button just blinks and won't turn on. Please help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you! If you can do it in a video or BIC please :(

  All that, suggest a power failure, first replace the PSU with a unit of work that is 'known', to see if that makes a difference.

  5150/E510 systems don't use exclusive Dell power supplies, you can install a generic ATX power supplies with either a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard.

  Like the 5150/E510 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be used and can be purchased in most local computer stores or online.

  Need a power supply with two SATA power connectors.

• Computer Dell laptop/windows xp, got virus.tried to fix. BAD IDEA. ERROR: DLL msgina.dll UI winlogon.exe - bad image.logon failed to load.

  Computer Dell laptop of my husband has a virus that wants you to install a fake security program. I tried to fix it. OOPS. I tried to choose an earlier date to restore your computer to and I got zapped, crashed and burned. Error is now: winlogon.exe - bad image then the msgina.dll login user interface DLL failed to load, contact admin to replace the dll or restore the original dll. I don't have a boot cd. Is there a way of "back door" to get his computer works again?

  As you know now, do a restore of the system on a severely infected machine is not a good thing. Better to save the data and do a clean installation of Windows. You can try to do it yourself, but based on your post, which I would not recommend it. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to be practical. It would be better to take the machine to a competent local tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place).

  If you really want to try it yourself, here's what you need to do:

  1. start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix. You are using Linux, copy the data files on an external hard drive.
  2. install Windows using the XP Dell installation CD.
  3. install all the drivers for Dell. Use the Dell Resource CD or get the drivers from the Dell advance website.
  4. switch to XP Service Pack 3 and do all the Windows updates.
  5. install a good antivirus - NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (both have free versions).
  6. install all other desired programs, updated if necessary (especially if you have MS Office).
  7. analyze data saved with the antivirus before you copy it to the new clean install. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• No bootable devices strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for Setup utility, press f5 to run onboard diagnostics

  I know that many people have posted a thread with this type of problem, but none of them doesn't seem to be exactly like mine. I have a Dell inspiron e1405. I bought probably a year and a half. It works very well almost all the time I got it. The other day I was using it and everything was fine and I shut down normally and the next morning I go to turn it on and I get a black screen with the words 'no bootable devices strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for Setup utility, press f5 to run onboard diagnostics' displayed at the top of the screen. I ran diagnostics and it said I had no recognizable hard drive. I ran the vista installation disk and tried to fix it and it wouldn't work. He said there is no disc to repair. I went to just install windows again, hoping he will fix everything that was wrong with my hard drive. When he went to install it says that there is no disc in windows partition. I tried reinstalling the hard disk and no chance. It is reasonable to assume that my hard drive is fried, or is there anything else I could do to try to fix?

  Help, please

  If you go into the BIOS see the drive listed?  If the list... it could well be the MBR corruption.  Good luck!

• Computer Dell laptop XPS L421x turns off randomly

  My battery is fully charged, the laptop rather new stops just at random.  I don't receive any message until the computer turns off.  When I turn on the back, he asks if I boot safe mode or start the computer normally. (still no error message)

  I did not bring any changes on the computer, I mainly use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Internet Explorer.

  Any ideas?  I think it's because an update has not been successful, but if so, don't know how check/repair.

  Hello, Bernadette.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  From the description of the problem, your laptop Dell XPS L421x turns off randomly after that Windows Update has failed. I understand the inconvenience for you.

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

  1. you receive an error message or error code?

  2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  You can check the updates recently installed that caused the problem:

  See the Windows updates are installed

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

  I also suggest you to check the error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

   

  Open event viewer

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-Event-Viewer

   

  What are the information contained in the logs of the event (Event Viewer)?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

  In the meantime, I suggest you perform the clean boot and check if the problem persists.

  Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows 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.

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 of the article mentioned above.

  I hope this helps. Reply with more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

• 320 external USB HARD drive won't boot

  Hello!
  After working fine for 5 months, my disk 320 external HARD USB is now showing that it is not initialized. When I go to disk management and click to initialize it, it won't boot. Can someone tell me how to make this work? I'm sure I'll have to format too, but can't find any way to make that without initializing the HARD drive first.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Try removing the USB ports in Device Manager. After restarting again the USB ports should be recognised again.
  Then again connecting the external HARD drive.

  The second possibility is to use an external USB hub with an additional power supply.
  It is possible that the HARD drive needs more energy than the 500mA

• Satellite L20 260 won't boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my satellite of sad, after 3-4 days I installed a new operating system (tried with XP SP2 and Kubuntu) system does not boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason, the only way is to perferom a new installation of the OS. What is a hardware problem, perhaps related to the RAM or HARD drive?
  x 10, Daniele.

  Hello

  It's not easy to tell if the problem is software or hardware related.
  You must install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD and again test the functionality

  If the laptop won't boot again freezes immediately after that installation of recovery CD, and then it could be a hardware problem.
  You can try using MemTest 3.5 tool.
  It checks the memory of a malfunction.

• Satellite C50 won't boot to the top

  Hello

  My son satellite C50 won't boot to the top. It is connected to the power grid and will arrive at the password screen but as soon as you type goes into shutdown. Any suggestions please?

  Thanks in advance.

  You write about Windows or BIOS password?

  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to give an exact explanation what can be wrong there.
  Your son of many important data stored on this machine? If this isn't the case, you should try to reinstall the OS and test it with the factory settings.

  What you can try is to enter the BIOS settings and leave the machine 5 minutes to see if cell phone will go OFF. If this isn't the case, set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  Is the cooling fan may be strong at the start of the machine?

• Equium A100 PSAA43: CD rom drive won't boot from any CD

  Hello.

  I have a problem with the start on equium a100-psaa43 procedure.
  The problem is the cdrom won't boot any cd
  I mean recowery system or any other cd boot as a Live CD.

  My BIOS version 1.5
  I put in place a correct sequence in the bios Setup. I mean 1. Secondly, CD-ROM, is my hard drive.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all we should know if the CD rom drive can read any CD.
  Have you tried to read from the Windows OS CD? The operating system recognizes the CD inserted?

  If not, then possibly the ODD drive malfunctions and, therefore, it s not possible to start from the middle.

  Anyway, you can boo from the CD in different ways. First, you can press F12 and you will get a boot menu. There, you can choose bootable devices.
  In the second way, you can try to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This button starts the CD player.

• Only UEFI won't boot Windows Installation DVD

  As you can see on my subject matter, my phone W520 won't boot from my Windows 7 Installation DVD when it is set to UEFI mode only. I get no error or anything, just the screen goes black for a second and go back to the Start Menu and when I select the DVD player. For what it's worth, my hard drive is already partitioned GPT, and I need to repair the installation.

  Before you ask for help, I just want to mention that I created this particular Installation DVD of Windows 7 using the all-in-one tutorial that I have 32-bit and 64 - bit options all on the same disc. The drive starts very well in boot mode "Legacy/UEFI", so I don't know what the problem is. Someone saw this?

  EDIT: I followed this tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=186440 and I'm in step 14.
