Computer hangs on a white screen on startup with the keyboard is plugged.

Original title: I have a problem starting

I have a problem when I start my pc with my internet stick plugged and it hangs on a white screen. I have to get the key out and close my pc and reboot to get to the screen to login manually.

This also happens randomly - some days it just starts with the key and the other days he dislikes the key and goes to blank screen.

Why is this randomly - this is my question? If the settings are the same so why did happen randomly instead of blocking me or just start every time? Why is it random?

Hi donga65,

  • To go through the other advice?

Try Method 1 to downstairs, go to the method 2 If this does not resolve the issue.

Method 1: You can update the drivers for the computer to check the issue. Log on to the manufacturer's Web site and install all the device driver updates including the chipset. See if it helps.

Method 2: Make sure that the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) is not altered. Check the boot sequence and make sure that the hard drive is the first boot device. Check with the manufacturer for more details.

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.

I hope this helps.

  • White screen on startup of the satellite C850

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 PSCBWA-05E001 so 18 months out of warranty now.
    I bought it for a few friends, I gave him to who are in the Philippines, so it is difficult for me to check and repair. My friends lack the funds to get it checked if any help would be appreciated.

    Some days he started to initiate a white screen. You can see the mouse, but that's all. They are unable to get the computer display anything. I read on several forums that it could be a video cable however I got them to hooked to an external monitor to work through the laptop's VGA output & restarted the laptop & the external monitor goes to white screen which are also seems to exclude a faulty video cable as this would affect the monitor to the laptop only I think.

    I'm concerned that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Very disappointed for my friends since the machine is just out of warranty.
    Someone at - it ideas?

    > I am afraid that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Yes, I have fear of the motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of the graphics card of m.
    It would be the worst cases because the new motherboard is very expensive and in most cases it s not worth buying a new motherboard if isn t valid warranty more.

    I have no many solutions for you; It looks like a hardware problem and to resolve this problem, replace the defective part. But of course, it of a just a question of money :(

  • Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
    Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

    Any suggestions?

    PS:

    also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

    Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
    Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
    In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

    -It has a slight smell of burn on it when I turn it on

    -J' tried a hard reset (power off, then press on and hold power)

    -J' had the computer almost 2 years warranty for 1 year.

    -J' have the knowledge/skills to remove and replace the maps system etc.

    I'm looking for some advice, or what someone might think the problem is, so I know what to replace.

    Any ideas? It is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Anything it is displayed on an external monitor? If so, it's the screen or the cable and not the mother/gpu card. If this isn't the case, the new, it's worse. According the description, of course looks a catastrophic failure of the motherboard. The slight burning smell is really a bad sign.

    Here's a motherboard on ebay:

    The price is a little high but lower than HP would be. Go down you $ 20 for a Exchange. There are also several services advertised on ebay that will repair your device for about the same price or a little less.

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".
