    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

    Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

    At the recovery console command line, type:

    Chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  • OSX suddenly stopped and restarted but does not restart. Lines of color on the screen

    Hello

    I'm on OSX 10.10.5 (I think) at least, I use EL Capitan. I can't tell the exact version, because my computer does not start correctly. The software is installed on an I mac for some time around mid-2011.

    The day began like any other day. I turned on the computer. Opens the web browser and lightroom. All of a sudden my screen turned gray and my second was a line downwards in the Middle, almost as if two screens of office have been posted on a monitor. Screens flashed several times with some funky patterns and then the system restarted with a carillon.

    When he did, white vertical bands turned towards the bottom of the screen while the Apple was displayed at startup. Sold turned screen gray, then rebooted again. This time, the bands were purple. It's the same thing again but next time the lines were orange and the system restarted a third time. At this point, I turned the computer off and tried again, but I was immediately greeted with several orange bands.

    Can someone help me find a solution or help me pin point the problem?

    From what you describe, it looks like a hardware issue that Apple will only be able to resolve, but not to despair immediately.

    Read it please get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support.

    I know that the title and subject are not suitable to your concern, but buried in this document is the following passage that contains three links describing the steps to follow.

    If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    That first, then write again for additional suggestions if you are still having problems.

  • Problem stopping and restarting the computer

    Hello

    I searched for so long for a solution, until I decided to post a question here.

    Whenever I have shut down my computer (via Start menu / alt + f4) the computer off first and perform a restart immediately afterwarrds.

    Well, this is what happens ALL the time. My computer stops and restarts, until I am led the newspaper to the page. On the page (after ctrl + alt + del) to connect, I keep having the same problem after pressing the off button.

    It's extremely frustrating because I have two options:

    Leave my computer running in locked mode (allowing my computer to heat and drain its battery)

    or

    Force a stop down by holding the power button down (damage my computer system - directed to a page (for running normal windows not start))

    Here is my contact information for the computer and all the...

    Lenovo G400

    (Standard plug)

    If you need more details let me know, so I can help you.

    Hope to hear something soon!

  • Windows stops and restarts each time I login, the last thing I did was partition the hard drive

    I upgraded my hard drive because I needed more space.  At first, I put the same settings as the original drive.  C is the primary drive and D is the HP recovery disk.  There is apparently a small partition that windows uses, but does not have a drive letter.  I left all sizes even.  This has left me a large part of the unallocated disk.

    With the help of Partition Master, I created a major score that I use for music, photos, documents, etc.  At the time I did, I got an external hard drive connected.  He was assigned as drive F and I created the new partition as G:.

    Shortly after this, my computer crashed and restarted.  When I log in, it says that windows has recovered from a serious error.  It plugs along for a little while and then did the same thing again and again and again.

    It doesn't gives me a lot of other information that means something to me.  If I click on the Details button for the information it sends to Microsoft if I want to report that it has a bunch of gibberish, but I'm sure that it wants to say something to someone.  I'll try to copy the next time it hangs after as I write this.

    I ejected the disk external and changed the drive letter on my new partition to F.  I can't believe that's going to do something, but I thought that maybe the partitions on the drive must be in order (of course, I'll try anything).

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Check your BIOS settings. Have you installed the drivers of Sony devices?

    Test your hard drive and memory.

    First run Memtest86 +:

    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no error then your RAM is OK.
