Computer does not start correctly

When turn on/off windows update 3/3 is displayed, then stops. Will not start in safe mode, just continuing to show the update then stops and restarts repeatedly

If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • After installing windows XP Pro my computer does not start correctly

    After you have installed Windows XP Pro on my HP Pavilion (updated to XP home), my computer will not end the restart process.  I have repeatedly in a loop once the blue screen with the HP logo.  When this has happened before after installing a pack of updates for XP Home, we just started in safe mode and then had it will restart at an earlier time, thus eliminating the updates.  However, now when I try to start in safe mode, I get an error message that says: "Windows Setup cannot start in safe mode" and I leave safe mode.  We hoped that by installing Windows XP Pro, this problem should go away.  Can anyone help?  I have read several other entries in the forum for similar problems, but they all have to do with updates.  This is the first time I was not able to use safe mode, so now I'm stuck.  I hope that I can avoid having to perform a full system recovery, since it is a long involved process and having once before, I always felt the same restart problems after installing updates.

    PA bear,

    Thank you for help... After reading several posts in the forum, one of them reminded people to check with the manufacturer of the computer so that possible solutions... and this is the solution here, I wish I thought of him earlier... I did a system recovery to remove the Windows HP Pro and return to the original version of the default value.  Then I went to the HP site and downloaded the patch according to their directions.  Problems fixed! :-)

    Any PERSON HAVING HARD REBOOT YOUR HP PAVILION (with an AMD processor) after you install Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 updates:

    HP has a patch that solved all my problems.  Clearly, service packs contain information for Intel processors that is in conflict with AMD processors in many HP Pavilion desktop computers.  You can go to their customer service solutions website and download the patch.  Since I did it, I had no other problems. I wish just that I had discovered the solution until I had to do a full system recovery.

    If your computer hangs on reboot 'loop', see if this info. HP will help you:

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

  • Error - NTLDR missing Windows XP Home computer does not start.

    Original title: XP-based computer does not start.

    XP Home does not start after I uninstalled a large file of Samsung mobile phone. I get a missing NTLDR error message and have had a System32 error as well, but there is no DOS prompt that would allow me to access anything whatsoever. Another problem is that I lost my installation CD. I initially bought this Dell PC nine over 6 years ago, so can provide identification details, if necessary program. Could someone tell me how I can make a recovery CD please? (No floppy drive not installed in the PC). To further complicate things (Yes, I know - I created many more problems that we all need), I have to keep my files on the hard disk, so cannot do a complete reformat, unless someone can tell how to save them somehow. My BACK skills could be summed up as "plodder inexperienced but determined!

    The file might be missing or it could just be that XP can't find it if your file system has somehow got corrupted.

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    System32 error, you see, is what exactly?

    Depends on a few factors, there could be another copy of the file NTLDR in other places on your system, but you have to start on something to find out whether there is or not.

    After answering the above questions, I begin to make a CD from Recovery Console bootable XP by running a chkdsk/r, first on your HARD drive and then see what is left to do.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • 6 Lightroom does not start correctly

    LIghtroom 6a fonctionnee om my 10 (x 64) of Windows without problem for 6 months. After the installation of a slide (CyberViewX) scanner and a regular update to Win 10 that occurred automatically when closing down the computer, the 6 Lightroom does not start correctly since I restarted the computer. I uninstalled the scanner CyberViewX program and rebooted the computer again. The only thing that happens when you try to open LR6 is a message that an error has occurred when opening the catalog. I do not have a backup catalog, and there is a button where I can choose a different catalog. When you press this button I find the backup catalog, but when I chose this catalogue I go back to the original message and the backup catalog was obviously not chosen. There is a button to create a new catalog as well and when I press this button I just in my photo folder and there seems to be no way to create a catalog or open LR6. This form of dialogue is obviously not working correctly.

    There was a lock by the catalog file, and I deleted this file. I also tried all the tricks LR running as an administrator and assign full privileges for all users of my photo file.

    The only thing I have not tried is to uninstall and reinstall the whole LR6, but I have a lot of photos and work so I hesitate to do this without knowing that it is necessary and if sure that I can get everything back in order with the old catalog and all restored. Anyway to fix corrupted with the installation DVD files?

    What should do? Help!

    Hi bjomb,

    You suggest to choose the option to create a catalog and give it the name once you get the pictures folder window, and then choose create.

    This would create a new catalog.

    check if it opens the new catalog, and it passes under the background processes in the Task Manager.

    If it does not, then you need to reinstall Lightroom program and it would not affect your changes as changes are stored in the catalogues and catalogues remain it is same when the resettlement.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro L850-1DW does not start correctly

    Hello

    I have a client who has a L850-1DW / PSKDHE-00E005EN laptop.

    She keeps pointing out that the computer does not start successfully from the cold.
    She argues that the question arises mainly when the battery starts but sometimes when it is plugged into the mains.
    I can see where point of newspapers that BSOD were registered at the start and that, on more than one occasion, his computer was recovered from a restore of Windows. He has also recovered factory once too.

    Although I've seen the consequences of these issues of "start-up" I have yet to experience first hand with the device.

    I noticed yesterday that the BIOS is outdated (as I had an alert Tempro).
    I upgraded from 1.6 to 6.50. Yet once, I didn't have problems.
    I can't find the release notes for the BIOS so I don't know if this is a known problem that has been fixed.
    I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.

    Any suggestion is welcome.

    Otherwise, I guess I have to connect a call with Toshiba.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my opinion, you should ask your client if you can make the data backup and install original recovery image. To my laptop computer reviews must be tested with the settings without installation of additional software.

    > I don't know if this "intermittent" defect is just that or if the user has the power button down too hard or for too long and in fact inadvertently crashing NB itself.
    Who knows? Ask your client and show how to start the laptop by pressing the button walk / stop. It must be done slowly and for only one second.

  • Mac does not start correctly

    Hello, my Imac does not start correctly. When he plays the macsound boots but only half of the load of the boot. Then it restarts.

    What I have done:

    (1) unplug everything and held the power button for 10 seconds.

    (2) held the shift key--> after that I have a few bluish vertical lines

    (3) held cmd + option + P + R-> after I have a few vertical lines bluish, but bigger

    (4) held the c key

    (5) very slow D

    (6) CMD + V-> it's fast to read and to search for errors

    After all these different things, randomly I these bluish vertical lines and sometimes a few flickers on my screen.

    Can someone help me?

    If I need to reinstall I can recover my data?

    I appreciate your help and thanks for your help.

    I solved the problem! I googled a lot and I found that it was the GPU was down. Well, I searched and found the solution...

    I think that apple don't want to hear or see. But if you are a little technical or handyman, Cook your GPU in the oven. Yes, bake your GPU in the oven! See the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vPM41ZmLos

    I warn you all, be very patient and very carefully, or you can destroy your beloved mac. The case may go to an apple store workshop.

    Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

    The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

    I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

    I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

    If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

    Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

    At the back of the pc is the condition of the PSU led green or flashing?
