• System hangs when starting

  Someone had problems with t he laptop freezing on the screen of the Toshiba logo when starting? The only way to turn it off is to pull the battery, no other button works. Cannot, press F2 or F12 or button / stop. No response from either of them. After several attempts, the computer will boot. and run ok. Thinking it might be the motherboard or hard drive, but the two discover ok with diagnostics.

  Any thoughts would be welcome.
  Thank you
  Harvey

  My PSA has always been very helpful, but to be honest I didn't noticed this problem on my laptop.

  Generally if the laptop freezes during POST (power on self-test) then an error on the motherboard could be detected
  Eventually he s RAM related question
  If the RAM is faulty or malfunctioning, then the laptop could freezes

  Try an other Rams. Maybe it helps, if not, then a motherboard must be verified

• Pavilion TX2623: Laptop hangs when starting Windows

  Hello

  When I start the laptop, I see the HP logo, the blue window of Microsoft and the white dots turning in a circle and then everything freezes after 5 seconds or more. If I force the power off I can restart without problem. At the start, I can hear the fan, player and I see that the player accesses (blue led).

  I tested the memory and the disk with tools (diagnostic) which you can access from the start. The results were very good.

  I did a hard reset, search the forum for similar problems.

  What bothers me is the fact that force a shutdown will lead to a normal start. For several days, the model has been the same. Computer hangs at the first attempt, I force shutdown and then everything works fine.

  Any idea?

  Concerning

  I managed to find a solution.

  It seems that the fast start feature is at the origin of the problem. I turned he took and no more freezing, at least so far (several departures and stops without problem).

• HP 6530 b hangs when starting

  Hi all!

  I have a HP 6530 b hanging while I'm trying to start. Basically what happens is it starts to boot and then it stops. I got Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed with a Linux 12.04. I was doing my job on the computer a few days when it shut itself down, without warning. The screen will not suddenly goes black, but it was as if I had told her to stop, that I did not. As he was closing down, there the screen on the fact that she had installed updates. Anyway, it restarted itself and it could not boot into Windows. It got to the point where the Windows Logo appears, but it froze right there.  I waited for about 20 minutes to see if she would do anything, which he did not. Tried to restart that and it froze before he even got the Windows Logo. Now, it happens on the screen that indicates that Windows could not start and needs to be started in recovery mode. I tried and it failed too. I could remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC and starts very well under Linux, he said that the installation of Windows has been damaged. From what I can deduce, I think I can give up this install of Win7, but I can't understand what is causing the PC to hang during startup. any suggestions are appreciated.

  Thanks for the advice, but I already understood that the motherboard is bad. Thanks anyway!

• Win XP Pro SP3 hangs when starting.

  My copy of close to ten years of Windows XP Pro served me well... it has been updated a number of pious UN time (and that was just the first few days after I first bought!) is the current state of the SP3.  I've never had a problem with the start of the BONE, until two days ago.  He simply refused to start.  There had not been updated, there had not been any virus, (Norton 360 first version 5, SpyBot Search and Destroy, AVG Security Suite Pro) full... it worked and works well, I stopped him and when I went to restart, it is hanging in the first screen of Windows XP (black one who lights up for a few seconds and scan blue dots everywhere under the name "Windows XP").

  I was able to restart in safe mode, no problem.  I then went through all the lists of things to try that I could find on here and any other support area of Microsoft.  Clean boot didn't work, start diagnosis does not work, no matter how configure msconfig, the result was the same. hang in the first XP screen.  I found an article that said to use the Windows installation disc and do a "set up"... essentially replace the operating system without affecting any of the other programs or data on the disk.  I did this, and of course, it still hangs on the first XP screen.  The kicker is NOW, I can start is no longer in safe mode, because it comes in saying that it is a 'NEW' XP installation and as such must be activated before first use... and because activation cannot be done in safe mode, please restart the computer in normal mode and proceed with the activation...

  IF I COULD START THE COMPUTER IN NORMAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE OR HERE BEGGING FOR HELP!

  Hi RonaldHaywood,

  It looks like the Windows XP installation is damaged and that the only option is to reinstall Windows XP on the computer after saving the data.

  You will need to take the computer to a store local tech to save data and then perform the clean installation.

  Hi kteinc, looking at this report, it seems that this may be caused by external software on the computer. go to control panel of your system and remove any software marked 'Freecorder"or similar, or by the Publisher"Applian Technologies"or any other toolbars.

• Setellite A665-5170 - hangs when starting certain applications

  Hi, just got this phone 5 days ago, nine from Best Buy and cannot get it to work...

  Details of HW & SW:
  It has a built-in Intel HD GPU.
  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  When you try to run certain applications, the impression that the HARD drive is constantly used, and the symptoms are that this request, nor other can operate.

  Example:

  Installed Skype 5.2, launched the program. He began
  For more than 5 minutes, I tried to start "Task Manager" to monitor the activity.
  "Task manager" window comes after 3 minutes and doesn't show anything in the 'processes' tab (Skype is still loading) trying to move the window will become grayed out and "Non-response" appears for a few seconds.

  When "Task Manager" finally shows info, I see that the CPU is almost not used (once again, the HARD Drive LED is constantly lit).
  Forcing of Skype to the 'end' can take another 10 minutes, after which the laptop becomes usable, once more.
  Uninstallation has taken more than an hour and only succeeded after a few reboots.

  I tried older versions - same result.

  Same effect is noticed in other scenarios (i.e. navigate on the internet while playing music with Windows Media Player).
  Although I doubt it, this can be related to Windows 7 64 bit does not completely supporting 32-bit applications.

  P.S. I do not live in the USA so I can't just go back to BestBuy and get their support.
  I feel lost and don't know what to do... Pleas help.

  Hello

  Because the laptop is new, I recommend that you set the notebook back to factory settings.

  Check the available applications. It must be called Creative Software recovery disk Toshiba.
  Create a recovery disk and after creating recovery disk, retrieve the device.
  This will set the laptop to the State as on the first day of purchase.

  Hope this helps you solve this problem

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 PSAE7E: Win XP hangs when starting

  It's happened several times.

  At the start, at random, all in one shot a blue screen appears (critical error) and the system restarts.
  I was not able to read what is causing the problem.

  Someone had the same problem?

  Solutions?

  Thank you, JP

  There is no magic solution to such problems. BSOD can be caused by different things, but I assume that, in your case, it is caused by some software. Have you installed third party software?

  If you know the day when it happened for the first time try to roll down the operating system to an earlier time using System Restore tool.

• [Personal information deleted]: Support HP support hangs when starting the

  

  On HP Support Assistance to start up, I get this message.

  

  Whenever I click on 'OK', it is on this same screen.

  I had this problem until I upgraded to Windows 10 (upgrade to Windows 10 July 30, 2015) and I guess it's never resolved. I thought he would go himself after a few reboots but unfortunately that was not the case. It was a bit difficult to find my information to computers because I didn't want to remove the battery. I also do not have a tag on the bottom of my laptop. Never came with one when it was purchsed. Is it possible that I can have this problem? Help, please. The system is going on 3 years, wifi, replaced card, fell (but it's been a great soldier!), hinges replaced, battery sealed with a tape or paste will fall due to a fall and hinged battery broken, battery is in the descents, & scratches little couple on the screen but nothing major. To use the computer for school work until I graduated in may 2014.

  Hello

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  If that does not read this information

  the link below is how to download and get a vista disk startup repair, which you can start from the

• HELP, my laptop hangs when starting

  When I start my laptop and come to the sign for Windows vista on the screen, I click on my profile, it highlights this profile but then freezes.  I tried safe mode but only rarely in the works.  If she is unable to work and load to the top of my desk, it just freezes I press start.  The last time that I did it and it started upward, I got a blue screen, but it cuts down quickly until I could read what the problem was.  Any suggestions?
  Thankx

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Premiere Pro CS6 hangs when starting

  I have install Adobe CS6 Master Suite. All the other programs I ran into this suite very well work. However, when I try to start Adobe Premiere Pro (either just the program or by double-clicking on a project), the program crashes before it can end the commissioning. I use Windows 7 Ultimate, that displays the message

  "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program, which did not work. I also did the same with the sequel, which has worked for me yesterday, but today when I tried to start Premiere Pro, it broke again.

  I use an Alienware 14

  Intel i7-4910MQ 2.90 GHz

  16 GB memory

  64 bit

  I don't know what other information would be necessary to solve this problem. And I thank you for any help, as Adobe does apparently not care enough about their customers to provide support for their products.

  Update:

  I tried to install an earlier version of the Adobe Suite (CS5) after using the Adobe tool to clean all my system facilities. I met the same problem, I've never seen with this version. So, I guess it was something wrong with Windows. I was going to return my PC to its factory settings, but decided to first update to Windows 10. The update corrects the problem. Thus, there was apparently a problem with the installation of Windows, or possibly a program that changed the Windows somehow he couldn't run Adobe Premiere Pro. In any case, I am using it without problem with creating for a few days now, so the problem seems to be resolved. Thanks John Smith, to try to help me to troubleshoot this problem. I'll keep in mind that double graphics cards are likely to cause problems when I have problems in the future. I didn't know this before. See you soon.

• Developer SQL hangs when starting...

  Backstory: I had this database fell on my lap when the company, I started working for last October, won the contract.  The developers gave me very little turn over, so I'm digging in my memory when I maintained an Oracle DB in 2002.  My skills are very dated, so please, be gentle.

  Oracle Windows Server 2003 10.2.0.0.0

  Oracle SQL program Version 4.0.2

  I initially installed sqldeveloper without worrying about Java.  I got an error and the research revealed that the JDK is not installed and was trying to use JRE...  I installed the JDK 1.7.0 55.  Now when I run sqldeveloper, the splash screen comes up with a loading bar... He goes to about 10% of the bar and sits there exciting.  Happening for hours.  What I am doing wrong?  What other information do you need?  Thank you.

  L

  You reinstall sqldeveloper once you have installed the JDK? Developer SQL saves the value in the Java House in sqldeveloper.conf under E:\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin (at least it does in version 3.0). You can try to update the path of this file if it is incorrect, but it is probably safe to reinstall everything.

  Kind regards
