Hello. My iMac does not complete the boot process. It chime, then display the Apple logo.

The progress bar will get about halfway, then disappears from the apple logo. Gray rest screen for about 2 minutes, then the computer shuts off and the process repeats. NOTE: the computer does NOT respond to the "safe" mode (shift key) or (command-R) disk utility commands. What else can I try?

  • iMac 11.2 startup problem

    Hello world

    I'm trying to restore 10.6 on an iMac 11.2 but does not start system recovery dvd, usb, or internet. All I see is a gray screen and the Apple logo.

    Option-cmd-P-R does not help. Also installing 10.6 in target mode does not help. This iMac won't start SL

    Strangely enough 10.10 installation goes smoothly. Unfortunately 10.10 is not an option because the software I use to run only on 10.6.4

    Are you using the original gray install dvd or a Snow Leopard retail disk? You cannot use an installation dvd from a different model.

  • Error starting "C:\users\ \AppData\roaming\bjsila.dll startup problem.

    Original title: how restall appdata\roaming\bjsila.dll

    I had a virus and Malwarebytes anti-Malware module removed. and now when I start up Rundll box to say there was a problem starting C:\users\ \AppData\roaming\bjsila.dll.

    Hi Dimitridpa,

    This problem can occur because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file, conflict between software on the computer or due to infection by the virus.

    1) the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    2) if you run the virus scan of the program which is infected with the virus will be deleted. Therefore, reinstall the program. Also, if files and folders are affected by the virus, while they might even get deleted.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, we will start the computer Safe Mode to check if the problem occurs in Mode safe. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe then you try affecting the computer in a clean boot state to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.

    Have you looked in the nodes of the log files if there are errors during this time? I don't understand that you can't get any kind of message in the log files to give us an indication of what could be wrong.

  • New problem z50 - 75 wireless? Startup problem

    Hello

    I had an another hp laptop which had a problems but the know-how could not fix it so they give money and I brought another Hp 4 days but then she had to be exchanged because of defective. Currys and PCWORLD even gave, but the problem kept pass. So I just paid the HP one and brought 3 days LENOVO Z50-75 it y a. the first Hp laptop, I had, had dns clients warnings in Event Viewer when you use wireless. Same thing on the new computer hp laptop. This problem still occurs in the LENOVO one too. These events started in Windows 10 for all laptops hp and lenovo. My computer laptop lenovo came with windows 10 in any case. So either it's a bug that should be fixed by a new update for the network adapter needs to be released. Computer laptop lenovo has Qualcomm Atheros the old hp laptop realtek the new computer hp laptop that was defective was and intel double wireless broadband and the same edition, DNS CLIENT EVENTS 1014 WARNINGS are still happening. This is definetley not my ISP fault because I replaced the router, more they found nothing on a week 2 diagnostics test on my internet. SO I just want to say lenovo that if there is a way you can fix this. Another thing is that after installation WIN10 threshold 2 on Lenovo Z50-75 when starting of the laptop it shows the logo screen once then black lenovo and then black screen again, then it boots. I have also all the latest updates. So if there is a way guys can fix that also. I'll post this in the microsoft forums too if they can help. Thank you

    Hi I managed to solve this problem by disabling the DNS CLIENT service, but always the startup problem also happens when I stop or restart the cirlce logo going arouns the shows as usual then flashes then closed restartsor and the same thing happens in the Welcome screen it flashes (black screen for a second), and goes after UPDATE of TH2

  • iMac mid 2011 - GPU problem - no guarantee - not under replacement program

    Hello, I have an iMac 27 inch mid 2011 (bought on 28.05.2011 including Apple Care). The screen went blue and the iMac last weekend had problems at the start (screen stuck on gray - boot loop). I figured well known GPU problem , so I took it to my dealer.

    Diagnosis: GPU problem, but given that the replacement program ends Apple decided that I have to pay for repair costs: around 600 euros.

    Apple has decided that they will replace the video card for free for four years after the first retail computer sales. I am deeply disappointed by Apple since I am an Apple user since 1992 and it feels like they have let me down. Apple knows clearly that there is a problem with the video card. It seems that I have no chance that my iMac was not showing no signs of video card problem earlier. I can't use my iMac a lot because of work, so if I had turned on the iMac, a little more or let run together weeks I would have had more "luck"?

    Thanks, I called Apple and asked if they would reconsider their position, but the assistance service said they couldn't do anything for me. I kindly asked the Assistant if he could talk with his manager, but it did not help.

    Is there something else I could do? I am disappointed by Apple because I think they don't care for users for a long time and they force you to buy a new iMac. For iPhone 5, there is a program of replacing the battery. I took mine to my dealer, but my iPhone does not apply to Apple, the battery is quite good. So, if I had taken my iMac to the dealer with no sign of problem that apple would say, it does not apply to the video card replacement program.

    Is it possible to convince Apple to take care of my video card problem? For the moment, I agreed to pay for the fix, I need my iMac, but I will continue to find the solution of Apple (refund or half the cost).

    Y at - it advice in this regard, how can I convince Apple changing its position?

    You do not discuss Apple on these forums, we are all users like you. Apple does not read or participate in these forums. If you have a problem with your iMac, bring it to a Apple Store or call AppleCare or Service customer and plead your case.

    Good luck.

  • HP Pavilion 23: startup problems

    Because we bought our computer in October 2014, we had many problems with the start, problems of drivers, startup problems, graphic card problems and more. It was supposed to be fixed once by the bu retailer still, there are questions. The biggest problem is starting:-it freezes, error messages that say lag not found drivers or disk not detected though when checked is. Also, we have done numerous resets hard which are just a quick temporary solution and back problems. We pay every month for a service contract with the retailer, but they mostly just try to run the store for our computer repair you... NOT HAPPY because for the third day, we bought there have been problems and we haven't bought a computer to sit in a workshop constantly, not at the price we paid coupled with the monthly fee for whatr amounts to nothing. Is there something we can do to solve this problem without driving miles and being without a computer that actually, we bought to USE?

    Hello

    Without compromising your contract, I suggest

    After trying a few please ask if there is something to be interpreted.

    I suggest you turn off auto update if you can.

    Run it, you can see the option "Enable advanced startup options" unchecked, close it.

  • iMac (27 inch, 5 retina k, end of 2015) startup problem

    I am currently using late 2015 5 k retina 27-inch iMac.

    My iMac doesn't always dΘmarre as expected. There will be a start-up chime, but the screen just remains completely black. It takes sometimes more than 5 minutes to start magically after freezing to the black screen. And when I managed to connect, my mouse (USB) could freeze a few times. I downloaded Smoothmouse to kill the mouse acceleration.

    I tried to reset the SMC and the NVRAM, however it does not seem to solve the problem. I have faced this same problem after exchanging the 3 sets of iMac.

    Wondering if a defective mouse could be the cause of this problem? Or could it be the Smoothmouse. However, I still don't think that an iMac could be so vulnerable.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
