Computer won't start not up - black screen and beep!

I can't from my HP desktop PC.  When I turn on the power turns on and gives a series of long beeps my monitor turns on and then says "monitor going to sleep" and nothing else happens.  I can't ' seem to get to a screen where I'm able to do anything.  Does that mean I have a virus?   Any ideas how to fix it.  I have everything turned off and restarts but still no luck.    I use Windows Vista. Thank you

Hello

That sounds like a hardware error and you need a real computer store (no leeks and glances at a BestBuy or)
a BigBox store) or system manufacturer support.

    I doubt it will work because this function is NOT implemented on Toshiba notebooks European but as I know about the series of notebook Toshiba U.S.!

    You can try to press the F8 key. An option called fix my computer should then be visible. Select it, then choose Toshiba HDD Recovery. Then a HARD drive recovery procedure must begin.

  • Windows 7 starts problems with black screen and the cursor because of power failure

    I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OS. Start-up problems arose after the power failure (accidentally unplugged the charger, the battery was not in place) during a video call in Skype. Accessories attached to the laptop at the time were a Logitech Webcam, a dongle Bluetooth, microphone and headphones.

    When starting my laptop Asus N81VP, he'll go as far as the 'Starting Windows' logo, then I meet a black screen with a mobile cursor. I don't then right click, CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    I tried the things:

    Start Up Repair = "cannot automatically repair."

    System Restore = no available restore points

    Windows Memory Diagnostic = at 100%, no screen of detected problems, then black with mobile cursor

    Networking Mode Safe Mode/Safe = black screen with cursor mobile

    Activate video low resolution (640 x 480) = black screen with cursor mobile

    Good known Configuration = black screen with cursor mobile list

    Start Windows normally = black screen with cursor mobile

    Please help me. I've had this laptop for less than a year, and it would break my heart to have to re - format.

    You seem to have exhausted most of the options available in such cases, except two:
    D ' log in under a different account.
    -To restore your registry files manually. See below for more details.

    On your heart that could get broken: have you considered using the imaging facility that is integrated with Windows 7? You can find it in the control panel / backup and restore. This is somewhat marginal in the feature and it can be finicky, but it saved my butt several times.

    You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
    CD RegBack
    dir
    8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
    9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.

  • Start black screen and beeps, HELP pls

    I have a HP Pavilion zv5410. When I turn it on it has a black screen and it beeps (1-2-2). I went on some sites about, but don't really understand what is happening.

    I put the new RAM in because that I was told by a techie, it was usually the RAM goes bad, but this did not help. I can't do anything with the BIOS because I can not even a screen to enter in info, even with an external monitor.

    I was told that I could get the data on my hard drive with a hard drive enclosure kit. I bought the kit box Rocketfish 2.5 inches, but it has a different connector (for individual pins where solid mieare 'PIN' this slide down into the connector of the laptop).

    Any ideas or suggestions. I'd appreciate any help.

  • Satellite P305-S8820 won't start no-POST 'BLACK SCREEN' will not start up CD

    When the HARD drive is connected Vista does not start, regardless of the boot order. Instead, it shows just a black screen with no cursor. Supplied recovery disks will not start. I removed the HARD drive and ran a scan of the disc to see if the drive went wrong, no dice, the disc is good and works fine via usb-sata on another computer.

    I inserted just the toshiba recovery disk, without HARD drive, and it starts. I connected the external HARD drive now and vista tries to start BSOD, I tried safe mode, last known, everything, nothing works, all get a BSOD disappearing too fast for me to read.

    I searched a dump file on my other computer and was a failure. When the HARD drive is connected via usb vista tries to start and the toshiba cd works now, however, it will not perform a complete installation of factory toshiba it does not find the HARD drive? I'm a windows user and I have years of experience with x 86 programming and windows 32-bit operating systems, but I'm stumped. Bad RAM? Bad Sata? Bad HARD drive? Bad CD/DVD? It is Vista Home premium.

    I don't want to reformat and lose all my data "I AM A REAL 'IT' not a silly computer user" no offense to all the others out there but I refuse just "format and forget ' tools used invites to rebuild the BCD and this does not work either and automatic repair does nothing, recovery does not work as it says there is no recovery points I am frustrated beyond words.

    Finally, this operating system is just horrible, I was once the 'happy' owner of a copy of Windows ME and it does not give me half of the problems that makes this operating system.

    I'm fed up with this, and am half tempted to ask my money for my computer, it might not be the responsibility of the user barely shoot / resolve these problems, they should be addressed before the product was released.

    I am at a loss. Help, please.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    I'm a bit confused with the info given, but if you can not restore/repair Windows, while you should do is back up your data to another PC using a USB adapter, and then run the recovery on the HARD drive internal in the P305.

    You must also update the BIOS.

  • Computer won't turn on completely (black screen with blinking cursor) after installing windows updates

    After that, he went to sleep the computer, but was unable to select 'sleep' (it is grayed out) but the stop keys option indicates that the updates were ready to install so I stop thinking which may help.  It was last night.  This morning, the computer was on, seen the screen DELL, then a black screen with flashing white cursor in the upper left corner.  I tried ctrl-alt-del, got the dell screen appears again, then black screen.  I tried ctrl-alt-del, thinking I could try one of the options key F at this time, but he won't even go to this point, the dell blank screen just screen.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

    Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

    Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

    It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

    Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

    (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

    (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.


    Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.

    System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly.

  • Videos YouTube won't play. The black screen and the pictures are the same.

    The videos do not play or load at all. Just like thumbnails. The comments section constantly says "loading". I have tried every thing on the site here to solve these problems. The only thing that has worked to be honest was trying to load Internet Explorer. Adblock Plus and Flash Player plugins are either removed or disabled. Tried to make a new profile and delete the folder in %AppData%. It works for awhile and then randomly the fact still.

    Things that CAN help with this problem. YouTube is the only site that does that when it comes to videos. Sites require that use flash sometimes will not play even if everything is clean installed. I have Nvidia Geforce experience working with shadowplay allowed to also record the Desktop connections to. Because it uses the h.24 codec, I thought it was clashing with him the origin of the problem. I can turn off shadowplay and reload the youtube page 2 to 3 times and the main video will play only.

    Finally, I let fall the other day, put everything back as it was and put the computer to sleep. When I woke up I decided what the Hey, ill youtube charge just for fun to see if it fixes as if by magic. Well, it does. So tonight its back to the drawing board again. I had noticed that wouldn't change items when twitch on my homepage from yahoo with the news. So I decided to try the webtools / tool to reload the network page. Fixed flash yahoo run of new articles but then my problem youtube is back! Ive a fire fox for as long as I can remember and never had any problems with it!

  • Tecra S1: Empty screen and beep error Code appears

    Hello

    I have a toshiba tecra s1 and it no longer works, and I don't know why.

    When I start the laptop there is nothing wrong, but after 3 minutes or if the screen is not responding. Then I tried to reboot, it gives a black screen and beeps. The beeps are:
    short, short, long, break, short, short, short.

    And what he repeates himself. When I wait several days it will start again and then after 3 minutes it will "crash" again.

    What is the problem with my laptop? Why it works, and after 3 minutes no longer works?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards!

    Hello

    The laptop starts fine in the Windows operating system?

    Strange beep error code usually appears because there is a hardware problem on the S1 and the POST (power on self-test) cannot be passed correctly.
    If the computer falls down the POST, the computer then returns a beep code indicating what is causing the computer not not to pass on the MESSAGE.

    The problem is that all the different systems of BIOS support meanings of different code.
    As far as I know, Toshiba Tecra S1 uses Toshiba BIOS and only the ASP can read this code and know what it means. I recommend to contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

    PS: Check out this interesting page about additional information on computer POST / beep codes
