• My computer takes 9 minutes to start when you turn on. Where can I find the system configuration to abandon some of the start up programs that I don't need.

  I said the reason that my computer takes 9 to 15 minutes to complete the commissioning is there are too many programs that start automatically when I turn it on. They said to click on start and type system configuration and deselect some of the programs to start automatically. I typed in the run dialogue box but nothing.  How do I know where to find it and can you tell me which ones I should NEVER disable? Thank you.

  You type: msconfig in the Run dialog box.

  Under the Startup tab disable this you never or rarely use.

  You will always be able to use them whenever you want without going back to msconfig.

  On the Services tab, click Hide all Microsoft Services, and then choose the ones you want to start when you start your computer.

• My computer takes 20 minutes to start and also has a black screen

  Hello world

  I have a Dell Dimension 9200 and recently every time I start my computer or it reboot, it takes 20 minutes to get to the desktop and also has a black screen. This issue has occurred only recently and I don't know what is the cause and so advice would be welcome.

  Other strange things include all my system restore points are missing and so I can't return the operating system to a previous date when it was working properly.

  And when I did a test on the hard disk, one of the internal drives have had a "Fail" result - Code 7 back. I don't know if this was caused by a virus or is the result of a mechanical failure in the hard drive itself.

  Thank you very much.

• Want to v7: computer crashes, several tests need to be reactivated.

  Computer hangs and I have to turn it off and try to start again. It takes several tries to start (sometimes 3 or 4, or a dozen times). Finally it will start. Sometimes I get this error message during start defective tests: 'not found boot device. Please install an operating system on drive hard yor. Hard drive (3F0). "

  I did a hard reset and then ran a test of the "short" system that returned the following message:

  Failure ID: RLHXWF-6AB7QL-QFPK1F - 60T 03

  After that, I ran the test sysem of 'long' with the following result:

  Failure ID: RLHXWF-6AB7QL-QFPK1F-61BT03

  I tried to search for this error code in the help of HP and Google with 0 results.

  Any contributions to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hello

  Failure ID RLHXWF-6AB7QL-QFPK1F-61BT03

  indicates that the hard drive has failed:

• Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop computer. Have to press the power button several times to start?

  Hello

  I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.

  My computer has had no problems at all until yesterday for some reason, I had to push the switch several times to start until he finally turned and did normal starts. As I would press the power as normal to start button, but all of a sudden, it turns off after about 2 seconds and so I would tap on the switch several times and each time it will not start and turn off, then the power button could be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start and run as normal and seems to work correctly. And it was the same thing today, I pressed the power button mutiple times (for example 6 times) until she finally started as usual.

  Savvy/computer im not very well informed or wise in this area, please someone will help me and give me some advice/help to fix/resolve this problem.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be appreciated for this problem.

  Thank you.

  Vonbon90, welcome to the forum.

  When I see these symptoms on an old computer, I think it may be a power supply (PSU) failure/ing.  Here's a guide that will help your troubleshooting it.

  In addition, you could test the memory.  This can be done by removing all modules of memory and replacing them one at the time and start.

  Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

• my computer is very slow to start up it will take 20 minutes so that it lights up. It wasn't like that when I got it. I did everything so he can go faster, but it used except if there's something I didn't do or I have viruses. Could you help me?

  Sometimes takes long start m wireless works and sometimes it doesn't. I could start it 3 times before that everything will work. It also freezes on me trying to get on it.

  You can have hardware failures. Repeatedly need to push the power button indicates a possible power supply problem, although other components could certainly be defective. So first make sure that the material is strong.

  http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

  On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hi @Vishalwagh123,

  Welcome to HP's Forums a great way to get help. It's a great place to find answers and advice! Thanks for the post.

  I understand you have questions turn on/off the device and you must press the power button several times for him to start. I'll be happy to help you.

  Please try these steps first. Perform a hard reset.

  • Steps to do:
  • Turn off the computer and unplug the charger. Then remove the battery.
  • Press and hold the power button on the unit for 15 seconds to carry out the static electrical charges inside the machine.
  • Replace the battery and the charger plug it back. Try to turn on the computer.

  If it fires up immediately the issue is resolved. Otherwise, try to turn on the computer without the battery and check that it works immediately.

  In your message, you said that it works very well with the charger. However, I need more clarity here to help you better.

  It works immediately when the adapter is connected and the power button is pushed only once?

  If you again press the power button several times, it may be a faulty power button, and you will need to contact the hotline at the service of the unit.

  Let me know what happens when you try to turn on the unit without the charger?

  Hope the problem is solved without hassle. Please keep me in the loop.

  Take care and have a week Holy.
