Flashing underscore at the start

Hello

It happened about 6 days ago but its now only ive had internet access I can post this question. Basically what has happened, on July 28, last Tuesday I was hd shut down my pc. Then I came back later in the day to return. Then it would start as usual, showing the logo of manufacturer and etc, then I see is a line of underscore/dash/hyphen / flashing line you name. So I thought something was wrong. So I turned off and turned back on the pc. came back. and ive yet to find a solution. people have suggested to insert the windows installation cd, but I still get the flashing line. I opened my PC, because I had read that it could be connected the HARD drive to the motherboard IDE cables. He went out, kicked it and put it back in. still nothing. Now, I am faced with a situation where I can't work because my files are on this PC. Can someone please suggest what to do?

Hello Jasestyle,

If the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive at this time, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the computer for help.  It might be that the hard drive, the wiring or even the motherboard has gone bad.

Best regards

  • Flash stops at the start page

    Man, I never seem to get an answer here. So many messages after me and yet no help. I'll try again.

    I have a problem with Flash MX2004.

    When I start the software starts until the home page reads. The start page displays for a few seconds and then the Flash is closed.

    I rebooted the computer... no luck. I trashed preferences... no luck. I have repaired permissions... no luck. I found no information on it. Any help appreciated.

    I'm running on an iMac, OS 10.3.9 with 1gig of ram.

    Thank you

    Thanks foe the advice of Thomas... but it closes before the ability to select preferences.

    In any case, I reinstalled the software and works fine now (touch wood).

  • Black screen, high regular of underscore on the left does not start after reflashing the BIOS F.38 on HP2000-363NR

    HP2000 363NR, recently tried flashing the BIOS F.38 (here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116227-1&cc=us&dlc=&lc=en&o... ) to solve a problem of overheating.

    Well, it was a mistake.

    Now it does not start at all.

    Fans spinning upwards. Hard disk rotates.

    By pressing ESC, F1, F2, F9, F10 and F11 at startup to give appropriate (fast!) messages but then go to the same place:

    Black screen with flashing underscore in the top left. Leave it to this screen has no effect.

    Never see no text except the quick messages in the lower left (or "Press the ESC key for the system menu" down left based on nothing).

    Out and the relocation of memory does not work. Boot with a DIMM module does not work. Now hold power for one minute while the battery and plug on does not work.

    Battery is fully charged.

    OS is Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, came with the laptop.

    Is it possible to return this BIOS?

  • Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer

    Original title: I need help with my Hardrive

    Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).

    In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.

    I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.

    So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.

    Thank you guys

    Hi Joemost,

    As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.

    There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.

    Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
    a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
    b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
    c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
    d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
    e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart.  Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
    f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.

    Hello!

    I had a somewhat similar to this problem and that's what I tried.

    He temporarily stabilized my problem but I have a serious type of divorce

    problems with my beloved once Windows 7. However, in your case, it may be

    the solution.

    This is the procedure:

    (1) power on your PC or laptop

    (2) when he started, start pressing and releasing the F8 key till you get the windows

    Fix the Page (I don't remember the exact name, but it's a screen with many options).

    (3) among the options is "Last known good Configuration", click it. See if that fixes the problem.

    (4) If this does not work, then you need to try other options, namely:

    (A) the Startup Repair

    (B) the system restore

    (C) verification of memory

    (D) command prompt:

    (The last option would have been a godsend, but it does not work in the console command prompt.)

    I'll tell you about it...)

    If all the above methods fail, try this method (it worked for me temporarily). This method is an option only when you

    are able to access the above page and when you have administrator privileges. Then, when you're on the screen above, you will see these options:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with network

    Choose the second option. If all goes well, you will be at the level of the office. On the desktop, right click the command prompt icon. If you don't have a shortcut cmd, no problem. Press start and type cmd or command. Right click on cmd and then click "Run as Administrator".

    * Now in the command console, type chkdsk/f/r (the space after the chkdsk command is optional). You may get a message that you can schedule chkdsk at the next restart, treatment is (Yes).

    Then, in the same type of console sfc/scannow. If all goes well, it will rectify errors of all the files on your system.

    Note: If you please ensure that your battery is 100 pc loaded before you try it. or better yet, let him charge while you do this.

    Keep me posted.

    All the best!

  • After the last update, the start photoshop it gets for minutes flashes.

    After the last update or after you install the "fuse" CC, the start Photoshop it gets during the minutes flashes. You can't do anything until it stops flashing. It is impossible to work with him. Because there are times that even after you have opened the file it is as if I had something working and takes too much time to perform any operation. And displays an error message. keeps flashing and press 'ESC' to stop and get something. But still, he said, showing the cursor how had tried to open something in the background. One of the moments where I started Photoshop appeared to show two fields seemed 'user' and 'password '.  I tried to remove and reinstall and nothing... still the same thing.

    I installed a previous version of the application to not stop working. I expect a solution to the problem to reinstall the latest version.

    S.O.: Windows 10

    I don't think that's the problem. I solved the problem by using an earlier version, while the youngest is not corrected.

    To install an older version I do the following:
    1. open a creative cloud application
    2. in front of 'Find Apps more' I click on "Applications" and change to "show other version."
    3. I have local "Photoshop" and I click on the 'Install' button and chose an older version, in my case, I prefer "CC (2014).
    4. wait for install and now I work normally.

    I hope this has helped.

    Kind regards

  • Is there a way to tell the browser, Flash catalyst, when to start video download.

    So I have 5.5, and in my project, I have 4 videos of different sizes on different stages. Some of the videos I can watch and others always seem to be download. Is it possible to have the start of loading videos when I want them, or on a certain stage? Done everything in the beginning of the project download as soon as the swf file is loaded?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    This level of control must be added via Flash Builder and custom ActionScript code.

    Good luck!

  • Flashing underscore is missing

    Today, my computer crashed because of what I guess is an overload of RAM. When it is first restarted after the crash, he was stuck on a line of flashing underscore one of the phases of my computer to startup (Logo HP > flashing underscore > starts the load bar > Windows Logo Glowing > welcome > Desktop). When I stopped and started again, he has started up as normal, however, flashing underscore was missing, and I have a black screen with nothing. He would start the load bar, while this detail, everything began normally and my computer was working normally.

    Someone told me that it was the result of a missing file. He has not said if it's a good thing or a bad thing, just told me not to worry. Here's my question: is it a bad thing that the underscore character is missing? And if it is the result of a missing file, do I need to get it back or leave I just better without it?

    Hello

    As long as your computer starts and funtions normally, it may not be a problem. If you encounter problems with Windows in the future, please let us know.

    It turns out that the flashing underscore is always there. It's just a ' blink and you'll miss it "kind of thing.

    So my startup is normal now. Thank you for having responded, despite the fact that I didn't have a problem at first, it seemed.

    You do not have the Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1 plugin so Flash should work.

    You can test here:

    That leaves option that you've blocked JavaScript.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
