Dell Inspiron does not fully start

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Windows Vista Home Basic. Last fall I had restored it and after that, it worked perfectly until about 2 months ago. After that I turned on the computer, it goes to the Dell logo, as usual, and then after that, it gives me a message saying press F1 to continue. I would tap it, then he would show a black screen with a flashing underscore. After a while it would not boot as usual. Recently, when underscore no longer blinks, he asked no longer to start as usual. It gives me a message saying that no boot device is discoverable and press ENTER to try again. I'll enter, but the same message arrives. I'll have to then turn off and on and keep pressing F1 until she FINALLY begins. With the changeover days, it takes more time and more time so that it can start and enter the Windows logo. I'm afraid that one day, it just won't start. I tried and tried looking for my problem but I don't know what it is. One popular response that came was my CMOS battery may go dead. So, I went and bought this past weekend. That didn't solve it. It still does start all the way. I also can't access the Menu ahead of time by pressing F8. I notice that rarely my computer will lead me to the Boot Manager to start upward on its own and from there I can start Windows normally and it starts without a problem. But I don't know how get you to this page manually. By pressing the bar space does not either. If I keep just press these keys, my computer makes a noise clicking / beep and nothing more. I was also wondering if a restore factory could get rid of this problem and make it again fresh. But again, one of the conditions for a factory restore is to disable and press F8 for Advanced Options and he won't be on the menu for me. So I'm stuck pretty well.

Overall, my problem is that my computer initializes more normally. I have to keep turning market until he finally gives in which case it can take hours. I desperately need help. I hope that I was fairly accurate. My computer is no longer under warranty and I can't afford any premium or other security package. Please, it's my only computer, and that's all what I have to work with. Thank you.

Hello

A computer is supposed to make a single "beep" at startup.

If that in fact more than one, this indicates a hardware problem.

You will need to go to the Dell website and know what BIOS that you have in your computer model.

Then check in these links 'beep' error codes know what hardware has problems.

  • Dell Inspiron does not go in GRUB after the stop of Kubuntu

    I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (Ubuntu) laptop and installed Kubuntu 15.10. No dual-boot. Kubuntu only.

    Everything seems to work... with one exception: after closing down (or restarting) of KDE/Kubuntu, laptop computer does not successfully start only once.

    When I shut down the system, everything seems ok. Then when you press the power button, I see the Dell logo for a short period of time (as a kind of progress downstairs bar) as usual. Then the screen flashes in different shades of black, nothing more. No GRUB menu. In this pressing situation ++ restart the laptop and GRUB is reached and everything works fine. Following restarts (without having to boot into Kubuntu) works also without problem. However as soon as I have boot into Kubuntu and start/stop from there to the next single boot of the laptop will fail.

    Any idea what the problem might be?

  • SOLVED! My new Dell Inspiron does not recognize my HP Officejet Pro L7680

    Tried USB in a different port and it worked!  All AOKAY.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have tried everything I can, including downloading drivers and using the print and scan doctor, but without success.  The printer remains invisible to the computer despite a 'bong' telltale whenever the USB cable is connected between the two.

    Who has the magic secret?

    Brian

    Brian,
    The usb port that didn't work, maybe a bad port or incompatible.
    1. who has a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0? USB 3.0 port has a usb with "SS" downstairs, logo for 'Super Speed', even if a usb 3.0 ports should take usb 2.0 devices, sometimes things don't work smoothly.
    2. usb port may be damaged (broken contact could cause the kind of question you see). There are a few contacts on the usb port, some power and some data. When a usb device is plugged in, you get the "bong", this means power is taken between the port and a PnP (Plug and Play) event is generated. The device checks with its info (PnP ID, etc.) if all of the son/contacts work, the computer gets this info and use it to identify the device and search for the best driver for it. One way to tell if the computer has obtained information is to look at Device Manager, if the computer has had the info, there will be a new added feature, those that he can find a pilot, will appear with the name and details, or if no driver is found, 'unknown device', but if you click on details, even if it is peripheral unknown It lists the ID of equipment, etc.). A "bong" without even an 'unknown device' means that the usb port is bad.

  • Inspiron 5749: BIOS update fails with the error 'Dell id does not match ".

    Hello

    I'm trying to update the BIOS of the Laptop Inspiron 5749. I downloaded the update file 3443A 07. EXE from Dell support website, where the update is supposed to be compatible with my system:

    -Dell Inspiron 3443/3543/5749 system BIOS;

    -Version A07.

    -Pull out the date 18 November 2015.

    I tried to install the update by using the utility to update the BIOS available in the start menu (after pressing F12). The update failed with the error message "Dell id does not match" or similar.

    Running the update of the session Windows don't seem to have any effect either.

    It seems that the update is only compatible with Inspiron 3443.

    Where can I get the update of the correct BIOS for my laptop? Any help is appreciated.

    The problem has been resolved by a motherboard replacement. Thank you.

    I have a Dell Inspiron Mini Windows 7 starter from a pawn shop and it has the previous owner on this subject and I can not log on because I need there password. Can someone help me with this?

    The only safe option is to perform a factory restore. If you do not, then you are likely to be confronted with a machine that is seriously infected or was hacked. Have a look here for instructions:

  • Creative cloud does not automatically start more

    My creative cloud application does not automatically start more. It worked fine for a year and a half.
    But although the box in preferences to start automatically is checked that it does not automatically start more.
    It does not appear in the system tray I must maualy double click the CC (which i put my office op) to start.

    I also had a solution ad put a CC shortcut in the windows startup plan but he strangely disappears each time.

    After I dubble click on the strats of application up normally and everything works fine, so no problems with programs or the application of cc
    It was simply not possible box Autostart to highest upward. I use windows 8.1

    Unfortunately this did not help either. What I did then, I unchecked the box run at startup and put a shortcut in the Windows startup folder. Since then, (3 days ago), he continues to work. Hope it stays like that.

  • Dell: inspiron 1525 not boot from a USB stick, USB key are not not in the start option.

    Hi all

    I bought this dell laptop inspiron 1525 in the year 2008 with mentioned configuration:

    Core 2 duo processor

    1 GB OF RAM

    Due to some problems in my windows vista, I decided to install a new windows vista in my laptop. I run the dell support live cd at the start of my laptop and created the partitions on my system. But while the new installation OS on the cd i found that optical drive of my system does not work very well. so, I decided to install the new OS of USB. I went to the BIOS and selected the USB key in the boot sequence. but when I tried to install the new OS while pressing the F12 key, USB key is not listed in the start option.

    could someone help me to install the new OS in my machine? It is very urgent that my machine is down for 1 week.

    Please try attached BIOS changes screenshot than everything be useful to me.

    Thank you

    Gurpreet

    Hi Gurpreet,

    Thank you for your response.

    My apologies if I seem repetitive, but when you go to the Option of boot sequence in the system configuration screen, do you think that the USB storage device listed? And do you see a number in front of it?

    Go to the option for embedded devices and check if the USB ports are enabled or disabled. If disabled, change the option and enable the USB Ports.

    If this step does not help, go to the Maintenance option in the system configuration screen and press enter on 'Load Defaults'. On the side right, highlight 'Continue' in green, press Enter and then save & exit.

    Please keep us informed of the results.

    Thank you and best regards,
