Computer laptop Alienware 17 would not start

Hello

I had this problem twice now. I was on my laptop and it should work fine ALL day and then I would stop for the night. When I wake up and try to turn on, it would do nothing for most, but sometimes he would light up for about a second or two and goes off. Both times I solved this in re-allocation of places the battery CMOS/button. Although I have solved this problem on my own, it is still VERY upsetting. Why the * does this continue to happen?

The first time it happened, I had just installed the latest version of the BIOS and rebooted and it worked 100%. Is that I turned it off for the night and it did not work the next morning. I followed the instructions on how to install the latest BIOS very closely and I did twice previously without a problem at all!

The second time it had happened was yesterday when I had just updated the card Wifi and a few other minor drivers through Device Manager. While I was still with my laptop, he turned to a BSOD - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. When he did this, the speakers just makes a constant humming ceased after it began to restart. All I did was watch YouTube when this happened. And when he was trying to restart it froze on the Alienware logo. I waited about 15 minutes hoping it would move along, but he did not. I pressed the power button until it is turned off and then tried to restart it without success.

This morning, I completely disassembled to remove the main battery and the battery CMOS/button.

WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS? It seems to be whenever I update the drivers. I always update from the Dell website on the page where I get my serial number under "Drivers and downloads", or through the Device Manager. What is a bad piece of hardware? Software conflict? Please, please help me this end for good.

Alienware 17 R3

Processor: Intel (R) Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60 GHz 2.59 GHz

  • Computer laptop Windows XP does not start? Help

    Hi I have a windows xp laptop I think that their system eis or something like that... Whenever I start the laptop, he's going on the error you get when your dosent laptop shut down correctly. If I click on start normally the bar will spend about a quarter of the way and then just stayed forever and only safe mode also gets a freeze from then. Y at - it something wrong with the laptop or what. How can I get my laptop to work again... someone help me please.

    It is up to tell you to us what brand of system and the model is... not "system ist or something like that."

    When you choose to start safe mode and you can see all the stuff being loaded and the system crashes, which is the last line on the screen to say?

    If you attached an external equipment, especially USB devices, disconnect everything and then you can see if things seem better.

    If you get an error message windows system config, exactly what he says?

    No error paraphrased messages please!

    It was something like this:

    Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    Which usually indicate some sort of corruption of system files may be a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).  None of this seems familiar?

    If you can boot from a CD, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk with correction of errors on the afflicted to start System.

    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 do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    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.

  • Re: Computer laptop Qosmio F15 does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed

    My Toshiba Qosmio f15-av201 does not turn when you push the power button, even if the lights of ac adapter & battery are both on (on). Indeed, the yellow light that is supposed to turn on the power button when the laptop is turned off does not appear. In addition, there is no sign that shows the laptop tries to start when the button is pressed, not even a peep. The laptop was recently dismantled (open) to clean the fans, who made the famous monstrous noise which toshiba qosmios are apparently well known for.
    Everything seems to be connected correctly in its correct place. Nothing seems to be damaged. So, I have no idea where I can get out of here. Pending issue.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your issue on your laptop HP 15z touch and issues with Free Dos. This laptop does not include Windows, you need to buy Windows separately. Free distribution of base back requires no fees or royalties, and the creation of custom distributions is permitted.

    You have a few options. I can't tell you that we chose, I only know you what they are. The first option is to buy a copy of Windows from a retailer and install it on your computer.

  • My Live View would not start or start...

    Had this problem until I saw all of a sudden screen cleared and I could not start no matter how hard I pressed the buttons. In order to reset I took it to the store I bought. The display took the piece and after almost 2 days he returned saying that COMTEL would not cover up for accessories. I called the service center and asked how when offers a limited warranty, they are supported. This gentleman had no answer, but that he would accept neither of my room. Instead he suggested me to get a replacement from the store, I bought. As we were talking about the issue, the display has tried to load my mode live view and the red light on to my great surprise, which indicates that it worked. Then he started to initiate and work. When I got home, I got to know the mode Live View has had an update, I did. 2 months after there was no question too... But still today, after a full charge, it would not start again. I tried to plug into my laptop to update the software, but my laptop indicates that the USB malfunction, indicating that the Live View mode is a.

    I don't know what to do... I love my Live View... Its great use while driving, on a session and in places outside, where the silent noise your cell phone ringing...

    But, I think that the problem starts, if we have to charge the unit. Which could be considered if you are developing a software update for the same.

    Sorry to be too eloborate... Thank you for your time.

    First of all - welcome to the forum!

    Where are you from and how old is your LiveView? All the accessories are getting 12 months warranty on most of the markets (6 months in some markets).

    It might be that the service contracted by your dealer Center isn't HVC (high volume Center). They should, however, help and if so send the LiveView to a service center that allows to fix it.

    You can try to contact local support Office and ask for a service center that can fix your LiveView.

  • Envy 15-j059nr: Envy 15-j059nr would not start Windows after update to win10 now the hard drive is missing

    This system worked before Windows 8.1 it has been upgraded to Windows 10 last year. It's my boyfriends computer and last night it kept getting blue screen dreaded with errors on his hard drive. He kept ignoring. Then, his computer's battery died and when he started upward, he could get a blue screen and act as if it would repair itself and would just start all over again. He was going in a loop. He did not know what he was doing, but searched on the Internet and ended up messing around any more.

    Its installation was 850 GB HD 3 partitions, it was set up as a Raid was one the main C drive, one was the restore disc and the other hides. He changed the disk. He changed a few things in bios too, but I don't know exactly what.

    The problelm I have right now, is that when that I boot without the USB bootable media, I created, I'm stuck at a screen that says there is no startup disk and no installed operating system and press F2 to run Diagnostics. When I run the diagnostics, just fine, no errors.

    When I try to recover, repair, reimage or anything other that to reinstall, it goes back to the screen I mentioned above which does not allow me to do anything about this either, with the exception of past at the command prompt, which is X and not C. I did a dir/w and only seen the windows files are here , but under the users directory, documents and images are empty, so don't know if it's even watch what I think it is.

    When I want to install Windows 10, everything goes smooth and then bam, he wants that pilots. I can't find the drivers for this laptop who don't have the .exe and require installation. This notebook is not a CD/DVD player on it. I don't mind doing a reformat and start all over, if I could recover his pictures on his hard drive. They are his grandfather.

    Help, please!

    Thank you in advance!

    You are the very welcome.

    Unfortunately, I woudn't be able to help you with that.

    I'm afraid that the PC is now a useless paperweight because of the BIOS update has failed.  There is usually no recourse other than to replace the motherboard.

    If all goes well, you were able to recover the files before that happened, and if not, get a SATA cable adapter USB and read the hard drive on another PC.
