Gray screen after starting the Satellite L50

Today I received a completely gray screen after starting the Satellite portable L50; the touch mouse moves but don't button start etc. Lap top is only 2 weeks.

Any advice?

Hi jade

It is not easy to say what the problem is here. What did you do when you saw gray screen?
Is there a possibility to completely shut down windows and reboot the machine?

  • Gray screen after starting mbp 2011

    My 2011 Mac book pro can't go beyond the start screen. During an attempted in safe mode, it shows the gray boot screen, with the apple bar and the State, then switches to a completely blank grey screen. I tried to reset the memory nvram and smc, but it made no difference. Right now I'm looking at a gray screen and the fan operates at a high enough rate.

    A month or so, there is no problem, I've upgraded to El Capitan. But last week, I started saw strange problems with the display screen, essentially content spiltting which should have been included to the left of two-inch screen would appear on the right side of the screen.

    I guess I have a hardware problem, but I don't know if there is anything else I can try.

    I also tried the recovery mode to try to restore from a time machine backup, but got stuck at a gray screen too.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Looks almost two questions. One would be the hard drive itself. If you can even not all recovery. The disc is maybe damaged. With regard to the problem of the screen which can be a graphics card problem. If you had access to the operating system, you could install GFX CardStatus. You have another way to start, as an installation disc. For example, you can run the disc to check/repair the disk utilities. You might be able to use single user to start and run a repair. Use the S command to start and when its scrolling does. Enter fsck - fy and click on enter. If you get the system modification to rerun the command until he says OK. Then click on and enter reboot enter.

  • White screen after starting the desktop computer

    Original title: Windows 7 white after the start of desktop screen.

    When windows starts my desktop appears for 5 seconds and then the screen become white. I can't do any of that except the computer restarts.  When I do this, white screen closes and I see my office, but which also closes and the system restarts with the same question.   It seems that something is loading right after my office that does not... I can't access to my office to see what is on... Any thoughts on how I can fix this, other than a system restore?

    I have a solution

    First of all causes of white screen most of the files exe as spyware or viruses is the best way to solve this boot

    to do this, go to system32 and then make a copy of cmd.exe and rename the copy sethc.exe and replace the current sethc after this restart let it connect normally, then pass the user pressing a win + l and then press SHIFT 5 times then a command prompt should appear then type taskmgr.exe and then find the process and kill it and remove via msconfig or winpe sorry for my bad English

  • Blue screen after starting on Satellite A60

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me on this: I haven't changed anything on my A60, but all of a sudden, I get a blue screen saying there is a problem with the atidvag.dll (?).

    I can only start the computer in mode asaved now. Thanks to google I found others who had the same problem and which may help to a new version of the bios. When I try to install the latest version of the bios on toshiba website it gives me a message as it could not load the driver...

    Thank you to anyone to help me with this, because I don't know what to do at all.
    BR,
    Bernhard

    Remember that the file atidvag.dll is part of the graphics driver.
    So, everything seems like a graphics driver or graphics card would be a malfunction.

    The best way to know what might be wrong is a use of the Toshiba Recovery CD!

    But if it is not possible to install the OS on the recovery CD, then you must contact the ASP in your country.
    Maybe the graphics chip is dead

  • Error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery.

    While trying to reinstall Windows 7 on my Dell Inspiron 1545 of the reinstall DVD after you have installed a hard drive again, I got this message: error message "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after starting the system on Windows 7 Recovery. Tried F10, SHIFT F10 and nothing happened. Then I tried a suggestion of virtual Agent to press F8 to get to advance Boot Options, but this option does not appear! Help!

    For Dell cptrs, you will need to press F12 to access the unique Boot Order Menu(= a temporary setting), little after the Dell logo appears on the desktop. U hv only 5 seconds to do, b4 the cptr will automatically initialize to top with the internal HARD disk.

    ....... F12 is usually used to start the cptr since the DVD player or a plugged in USB-flash drive with a Win 7 install or recovery media.

    To permanently change the boot order, you must similarly press F2 to access the full Boot configuration Menu. The default boot device is the internal HARD drive, but this can be changed to DVD player, USB, disk, network drive, etc. F2 is usually used to start the cptr of an external hard drive(= USB HDD) that contains a bootable Linux operating system.

  • Satellite L350D - 11K: black screen after downloading the Tempro updates

    Hi Forum,

    yesterday, I admitted Tempro download several updates on my satellite L350D - 11K.
    During the last update, it was an update of the firmware, the system crashed, and it no longer starts.

    After removing the battery, the system starts up, but now it has a black screen and I don't know what to do.
    Pressing any key F doesn't show any results and I have no recovery CD.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Thxxx in advance

    Hello

    I don't know why it happened, but if the short workaround solution posted by boarder will not help, so I see good opportunities to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    > During the last update, it was an update of the firmware, the system crashed, and it no longer starts.
    You're talking about the firmware update
    Maybe it was a BIOS update which failed and so the laptop will not start again
    As already said in this case that only the ASP technician could help you.

    I suggest to start the computer in safe mode and check if it works very well.

    To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

  • White screen after that the virus KLPD, same save modus starts

    Hi, yesterday while surfing the internet has become my white screen, it was the virus KLPD. I found on the internet that I had to download the kaspersky rescue disk and run it on my pc so I could scan my pc on the virus and after that my pc should be normal. So I did what they asked, but now, whenever I start my pc, when I would have my office, I get a white screen and when I pres ctrl + alt + delete I can get in the menu but the management tasks does not start. Now my question how can I come back all my documents and work normal again to my laptop. Its a HP Pavilion dv6000 Entertainment PC.

    Thank you

    Hey AlexDedeur5,

    You may be able to create a Live CD. This is a CD with an alternative operating system that runs completely from a CD rather than your hard drive.

    Using a Live CD, you can access your hard disk just like you acceding to a flash drive. You can copy and paste your files from the hard drive of your laptop computer to a flash drive or external hard drive. You will need to scan that disc flash drive/external hard with a reliable anti-virus program before opening or transfer these files to avoid infecting a second computer.

    To get a very good Live CD is Knoppix. I used it before a couple times to get data from infected computers and hard drives, partially damaged by a fall. Here are some links that provide you with more information about Knoppix.

    How do to retrieve the files from the laptop with Windows crashed using the Knoppix CD

    Once your data is backed up and scanned with an antivirus, you will need to re - install Windows on the hard drive of your laptop. You can have a recovery partition which you can access by pressing F11 as the computer powers on. If you do not have the HP Recovery Manager, choose System Recovery to factory settings.

    If you are unable to the HP Recovery Manager, or it has been lost due to virus, you will need to re - install Windows with a set of recovery disks. If you do not already have your own records, you can order them through HP. If you could provide me with your exact product number (and your country if outside the United States), I could link you to your order for your particular laptop. Here are the steps to finding your product number.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or if one of these suggestions helped (this might help others with the same question). I'll keep an eye out for your answer!

  • DON'T LOG ON THE SCREEN AFTER STARTING UPWARDS

    Hello

    When I woke up, my computer was in hibernation, and then when I turned it on, everything was different, including my personal settings. Then I started to download my themes because I couldn't find my personal stuff. Then I managed to get my themes, I rebooted my computer, and then all my personal stuff was back to normal. I had downloaded a log on-screen softwear before restarting the PC.

    After the reboot, everything worked well. So I decided to restart, just to make sure that everything is fine, then it starts up normally and loads normally well, but after that the screen is not black, no log on screen for detection of face or password.

  • Window remains white screen after starting windows screen. the system hangs after Mup.sys on safe mode

    The title pretty much everything said.

    The problem occurred on a fault that Dell Vostro 2510 with the additional option should only do the downgrade of Win Xp (from Vista).  As noted, on normal startup, the system will remain in a blank screen after the Windows Xp "loading" screen.  And on safe mode, it will join Mup.sys and then hang there.

    The closest thing that I got from a web search was a thread in forum saying that the official info from Microsoft was that it was a question of Win Xp/motherboard (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31874/?o=40 halfway to a post by Bobb Fwed).  The poster provided no link, so I don't know how official his info was really.

    Thank you

  • Blue screen of death, the Satellite M100

    Hello

    I have Satellite M100, we had problems with the blue screen of death sometimes and then it seemed fairly constant and the only way to ensure that the system is not plant was to start it in safe mode.

    The noise had also stopped working. Decided to restore the factory settings system used the disk and everything goes well until the system started in windows allows you to go through the installation program then blue screen again. The sound seems to have returned, although it is slightly crispy.
    So don't know if this is the problem or not. Unrecoverable system error crashes and also driver_irql_not_less_or_equal.

    Now cannot start in safe mode as the windows installation did not finish...

    Any ideas anyone?

    See you soon
    Simon

    Hello Simon

    If BSOD is displayed after the installation of recovery, it may be a serious physical issue.
    Try installing the OS using the recovery discs. If the problem persists I think it's time to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.

  • Only get a gray screen after upgrade of El Capitan. What can I do?

    I tried to install an upgrade, but only now have a gray screen.  The installation seems to have stopped half way through.

    Please take each of these steps that you have not already tried it. Some of them are not applicable to your model or your situation. Stop when the problem is resolved.

    To restart a computer is not responding, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the unit turns off, then release, wait a few seconds and press again briefly.

    Step 1

    The first step to respond to a startup failure is to secure data. If you want to keep the contents of the boot drive and you have not already at least a current backup, you should try to back up now, before we do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care the data changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to store backup data.

    a. starting the partition recovery or an hour Local Machine backup volume (button option key at startup). When the OS X Utilities appears, launch disk utility and follow the instructions in this article to support. You'll be 'restoration' the boot on the backup volume volume.

    (b) If step 1 fails due to disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to save some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external hard drive with OS X installed, the start of it. Otherwise, if you have access to the Internet, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external hard drive and install OS X on it. You will use the installation program of recovery, rather than download it from the App Store.

    c. If you have access to a Mac, and it work and have both the non-working Mac FireWire ports or stroke, start the Mac non-working in target disk mode. Work Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique will not work with USB, Ethernet, Wi - Fi or Bluetooth.

    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is replaceable by the user, remove it and climb into a docking station that is pregnant or an external drive. Use another Mac to copy the data.

    Step 2

    If you have booted from an external drive, make sure that the internal boot volume is selected in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

    Start in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. If you do not see the words "Safe Boot" in the start screen, you did not start in safe mode. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, and some things don't work at all, including the networks without wire on some Macs.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You must know the password for the connection to connect. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    If the startup progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or the system stops automatically when the progress bar appears, the boot volume is corrupted and the player is probably defective. In this case, go to step 9. If you have another problem with the player, replace it immediately.

    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the trash and then open the window of info on the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) Make sure you have at least 9 GB of space available, as shown in the window. If you do not, copy as many files as necessary on another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion is not complete until you empty the trash again. This, until the space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is probably caused by third-party software you have installed. Ask for additional instructions.

    Step 3

    If the startup process stops at a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, then the logon dialog box may be active but not visible because of a bug. You may be able to connect by using the arrow keys or the cursor to select the password field and type your password as usual.

    Step 4

    Case of failure of step 3, the boot volume can be complete. If you saw previously implemented guard space drive is low, it is certainly the case. You might be able to start in safe mode , even if you cannot boot normally. Otherwise, boot from an external hard drive, or well technology for step 1b, 1 c or 1 d allows to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation volume.

    Step 5

    If a Mac desktop (without the built-in keyboard) crashes on a gray screen together with a mobile cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Hold down the button on the side of a wireless Apple keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you use a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.

    Step 6

    Sometimes, a startup failure can be solved by resetting the NVRAM.

    Step 7

    If there is an integrated optical drive, a disk may be stuck in there. Follow these instructions to remove it.

    Step 8

    Press and hold the power button until the unit turns off. Disconnect all devices wired except those needed to start and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use another keyboard and/or mouse, if these devices are wired. If you can start now, one of the devices that you disconnected, or a combination of both, the origin of the problem. Discover that it is a process of elimination.

    Step 9

    Launch the utility disk in recovery mode (see step 1). Select the boot volume, and then run the repair disk. If problems are found, repeat until that clear. If disk utility reports that the volume is not repairable, the drive is defective and must be replaced. You can choose to tolerate such malfunction in the reader's life. In this case, delete the volume and restore it from a backup. If the same thing happens again, replace the drive immediately.

    It is one of the rare situations where you must also run repair permissions, ignoring the erroneous warnings, that it can produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.

    Step 10

    If the boot device is an aftermarket SSD, it may have an update and/or a forced "garbage collection". Instructions how to do this with a Crucial SSD of brand have been posted here. Some of these instructions may apply to other brands of SSDS, but you should check with the technical support of the provider.

    Step 11

    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac has upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you need the Apple ID and password used to upgrade.

    Step 12

    Do as in step 11, but this time clear the disk utility boot volume before installing. The system should automatically restart in The Migration Wizard. Follow the prompts to transfer data from one Time Machine or another backup.

    Step 13

    This step applies only to models that have a battery logic-board ("PRAM"): all of the Mac Pro, MacBook with a removable main battery and a few others (models not updated). A flat battery logic-board may cause a boot failure. In general the failure will be preceded by the loss of the system and boot disk clock settings. Refer to the user manual for replacement instructions. You may need to take the machine to a provider of services to have to replace the battery.

    Step 14

    If you get this far, you probably deal a hardware failure. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.

  • The screen works not the Satellite Pro a

    My satellite pro, do not know what model because the sticker is worn, but I think its something like L18850
    When I was with her today, he went to sleep, when I rebooted, it just would not come on the screen.
    I tried removing the battery, now the Start button / stop for 45 seconds etc... That did not work.

    I tried to start and stop a lot of times, it starts the desktop computer, I can hear the sound of it connection, but it seems to take more time for the sound to happen now and it seems to the connection ring twice, 10 minutes apart.

    One of the moments where I turned it on it the screen worked and it has loaded the system recovery, I chose to keep my existing files and the partition, the screen worked for the half-hour it took to recover windows, then when it restarted the screen wasn't working again...

    It's very frustrating as a week ago, that the laptop was with Toshiba repair, there is no previous problems with the screen, I sent him with a cooling fan failure...

    Any help would be appreciated, I need laptop badly I work online and need to pay the rent...

    Sorry to hear that very annoying if computer laptop / computer starts to malfunction.
    From my point of view, no one here in the forum would be able to help this issue, because I think that there is something wrong with the hardware.

    You can connect the external monitor just to check if something is not visible on the 2nd screen but of course, this would not correct the problem of the laptop.

    Maybe the problem is related to the last laptop repair? You said that the laptop has been send to the service about a week ago, it's just a guess, but maybe the technician made some mistakes last time who knows that I recommend you to get in touch with the guys again

Maybe you are looking for
