Equium A60-155 - no disk activity HARD and black screen

Hello

I reinstalled just WXP on the cell above and everything was fine until I downloaded and installed the site pc diagnostic tool. Restarting the laptop but there is no HARD drive activity and the screen was black after a few minutes it turns off.

If I insert the Windows XP Home edition CD, and restart the CD turns upward but still a blank screen and no HARD drive, all activity ideas!

> I reinstalled just WXP on the cell above and everything was fine until I downloaded and installed the site pc diagnostic tool. Restarting the laptop but there is no HARD drive activity and the screen was black after a few minutes it turns off.

To me it seems very strange that the laptop is dead after the installation of the diagnostic tool. I think that it s only a setback.

If you are not able to boot from the CD and the laptop doesn't display anything on the screen, then it looks like a serious hardware problem.

Maybe the motherboard, CPU, or memory modules are dead.
It's really not easy to tell what's exactly wrong

I think it s time for an ASP.

See you soon

  • How can I stop high disk activity HARD and blocking of the machine

    At startup, the machine takes 2 to 3 minutes before the login screen is available, with HDD coming out of the machine all the time. The Office takes 1.5 minutes to load up. Then quite randomly and especially if I have access to Internet, the HARD drive starts screaming from afar and I get any program I use, indicate "not responding". Similarly, logging on Internet and then check in a site and outside, Yahoo shows "not responding" then comes good, however at that time that the HARD drive is once more trying to get out of the machine with the blocking of the entire system. This condition may last between 1 and 2 hours.

    I can't get out of the Internet or Vista and my only recourse is to hold down the button "power on" for 5 seconds, stop the machine. The alternative is to turn the machine on and leave it alone for a few hours, but it is still not guaranteed the high activity of the HARD drive will be start at random. At the time of blocking, the CPU is variable between 1 and 10% with 4 GB of ram running at 96% to 100%.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2), on an AMD Athlon (TM) 64 x 2 processor Dual core 5000 + 2.60 GHz, Medion machine with 4.0 GB Ram and 32-bit operating system. The machine is a PC MT7 MED MT469G. The boot drive (C: /) is about 350 GB, with a second backup drive (D: /) about 100 GB and a Data partition (E: /) drive on 400 Gb. I.e. two 350 and 500 GB drives.

    The machine becomes practically unusable and I can't stop this frenzied action of HARD drive. I have to be to destroy the HARD drive whenever I turn on. I tried the advice from the experts by disabling regular departures, stopping at various folders, to nothing does not.

    I came through all products Windows 95Windows with XP and 2000 and when I bought this computer Medion, with Vista, I have never experience so much time lost to fight with a machine with this huge HARD drive activity and constant locking machine.

    I understand, sites that Windows 7 is pretty much the same, God forbid, I will put on my wife's machine and is the reason why I have not upgraded.

    Help! Please, how can I get out of this mess?

    I'm not sure I understand your disk configuration. You have two physical drives with drive non-system, divided into two partitions?

    All other programs are running when this happens outside of the browser?

    I would start by Process Explorer to identify the process generating the IO.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    On the file menu, click 'Show details for all processes', and then on the view menu, select the columns to activity e/s of the shoe.

    While you are in the view menu, click on "System information" and check how your 4 GB 32-bit Vista can see. It is normally about 3 GB but can be much less with some video cards.

    There is more information on the use of Process Explorer here:

    Windows Sysinternals Primer: Process Explorer, Process Monitor and more. Tech· Ed 2010 North America | Channel 9

    You can also use the built in by typing perfmon performance monitor in the box "Search" in the Start Menu.

    http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/TechEd/Australia/Tech-Ed-Australia-2011/SVR306

    This should help you identify files that are used.

    For a more detailed study, you must use Windows Performance Toolkit:

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

    http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/build/BUILD2011/HW-59T

    There is a possibility of a hardware problem or the disc is not not in AHCI mode.

    I would also look at the antivirus you are using.

  • Equium A60-155, without recognizing the hard drive

    I don't own a laptop myself so I have nothing to try it.

    Hello
    What HARD drive you installed in your laptop?
    The fact is that this laptop comes with a 40 GB HARD drive. Most BIOS cannot recognize the device because of the size of the HARD drive.
    Maybe you can use a 60 GB HARD drive, but I n t think that BIOS recognize larger drives.
    In this case, I would first of all check if the HARD drive is supported.

    You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

    It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  • HARD drive external with will operate at 7200 rpm on Equium A60-155

    Hello

    I have an Equium A60-155 which runs at 4200 RPM and I'm having some problems running some recording software. I thought a hard disk at 7200 RPM. This will be compatible and it my computer, and then run at 7200 RPM? I'm naïve on this...

    Thank you
    Andrew

    Hello

    You want to connect the 7200 RPM external HARD drive to the USB2 port?
    Usually the HARD drive should be recognized if you are connecting to the USB2 port, but the question is whether you'll be able to find a 2.5 external enclosure and controller that takes care of hard drives.

    If the external HARD disk controller can support this HDD then you should be able to use the HARD drive.
    But he should know that USB 2.0 has a rate of raw data at 480 Mbps but stretches of effective rate to 320Mbps for transfer on a USB 2.0 HDD if no one else does not share the bus.

  • Equium A60-155, don't 'sees' new HARD drive

    I have an old Equium A60-155, P5A67E and tried to install a new drive hard - one Samsung 120 GB, 5400 RPM IDE.
    However the BIOS (ver 1.90) is not 'see' and has no auto-detection option I see either - in fact it has very few options for anyone!

    The existing drive (original) is a Fujitsu 40 GB IDE.

    The 120 GB should be not OK, below the barrier of 128 Gb? - but would be using a suitable HARD drive utility (-Samsung offers a version of OnTrack) to make the drive HARD smaller 'look' for the Bios, be any help anyway? Is that the new drive faulty? Any other ideas?

    Any help is appreciated!

    I agree with you and think that 120 GB should be recognized correctly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here. BIOPS value default settings and check again. If the same problem persists, try using a different HDD with 80 or 100 GB to see if any of them will be recognized correctly.

    Problem is that you have limited options with all this and that he cannot do much. Either it is admitted or not.

  • Cannot install XP OS on my Equium A60-155

    Hello guys,.

    I had a laptop series Equium A60-155 about 3 years old worked when I used last and it was about 2-3 months ago. I turn on the laptop yesterday into the to use and she charged up to the logo then no activity on the display showed after that.

    I formatted the laptop with Windows XP Home edition disc and then tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but it keeps stopping at 53% in the installation process.

    I went to a technician, and his suggestions were:
    -Possible overheating,
    -Damaged, hard drive
    -Configuration of the bios,
    -Damaged the motherboard or,
    -damaged band memory.

    I tried again this morning, but even once, he stopped at the same percentage as yesterday 53%. If you have any suggestions that require the problem please post your here on this post.

    Thanks to those who responded.

    Hello

    I also suspect that the HARD drive is faulty. If possible, try to get the second HARD drive for testing. It doesn't have to be a new brand. Test it and post the results.

    We can just speculate on possible problem, but I agree with technician. Take the first step and test the HARD drive.

    O Yes, you can also clean the laptop before starting the procedure of facilities. After only that the laptop will be cooled much better.

    sure, why not. Go to Explorer windows and do copy - paste, which should make the thing.

    Otherwise, there should be a few good programs like "Isobuster" that can do almost the same thing...

    When I insert a disc the busy light flashes for about 5 seconds, I hear a small amount of activity, but then it just stops and it stays on permanently. If I try to access the drive through windows, it seems to be empty!

    I had this problem before and it sets just once! I don't think that it is windows such that the drive has the same way (busy light always on, if the disc is in the drive) before even windows has started. My warranty ran out earlier so he sent set is not an option?

    Does anyone have any ideas, what is the problem?

    Hi Joe

    I put really know what can help, but you can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list. Restart the device and check the functionality again. After you restart the new hardware (CD/DVD-ROM) unit will be recognized and installed correctly.

    If the problem persists with any type of media (original music CD and DVD) it can really be some malfunction of the equipment.

    Hello

    I have an Equium a60-155, that I knew that she works for a while, but recently I came with a new poroblem... my laptop guard turn off without notice and loses all power.

    The battery has been dead for some time and lasts about 5 seconds, but I've been using the AC adapter.

    Recently, she stops and even the LED lights for the power/battery adapter / is not on.

    At first I thought it was the fuse in the adapter which could have been blown so I replaced it, and it started to work again, but then after a few minutes, it stops and lost all power.

    I had this during the last days and I noticed that it regains power when I unplug the power adapter from the mains supply and remove the fuse and put it back in but his lasts only for a few minutes.

    I don't know if it is a hardware problem or I just need a new adapter. Someone at - it similar problems and can offer any adivce?

    Hello!

    What do you think that the laptop is overheating? I don't know, but if so the laptop would also immediately turn off m.
    So, try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

    If it doesn't help it's really hard to say what the reason is for this maybe you should bring the laptop to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop.
