Inspiron does not boot make

I have an Inspiron 546 which will not end start.

When I start the machine, it beeps, stops and beeps again. The monitor shows the Dell logo and progress bar, with maybe 5% progress.

I opened the machine, cleaned out and reinstall the RAM a couple of days, after which he worked, but tonight he's back where two days ago.

I tell myself to clean the machine and the relocation of the RAM are not what fixed the problem the last time. Anyone know what could be the problem?

The F12 key would work even if the startup process does not seem to end? I know that I have tried F2 and F12 when I looked at the DELL logo and 5% on the progress bar, and nothing happened.

For now my office is working again. I came across another problem like this that left hear that maybe the battery was bad. I jumped out and it is stuck in a battery tester. It was, in fact, bad. I replaced it with a new battery, after which the computer starts and entered with a screen that has complained that there is a checksum error. I continued with the ability to load the default values.

Once the computer is running, I had to reset the date, but now everything seems to work very well, once again.

If I run in the situation of blocking POSITION again in the coming days, I'll try the F12 key again and you know what he says.

  • Dell Inspiron does not fully start

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Windows Vista Home Basic. Last fall I had restored it and after that, it worked perfectly until about 2 months ago. After that I turned on the computer, it goes to the Dell logo, as usual, and then after that, it gives me a message saying press F1 to continue. I would tap it, then he would show a black screen with a flashing underscore. After a while it would not boot as usual. Recently, when underscore no longer blinks, he asked no longer to start as usual. It gives me a message saying that no boot device is discoverable and press ENTER to try again. I'll enter, but the same message arrives. I'll have to then turn off and on and keep pressing F1 until she FINALLY begins. With the changeover days, it takes more time and more time so that it can start and enter the Windows logo. I'm afraid that one day, it just won't start. I tried and tried looking for my problem but I don't know what it is. One popular response that came was my CMOS battery may go dead. So, I went and bought this past weekend. That didn't solve it. It still does start all the way. I also can't access the Menu ahead of time by pressing F8. I notice that rarely my computer will lead me to the Boot Manager to start upward on its own and from there I can start Windows normally and it starts without a problem. But I don't know how get you to this page manually. By pressing the bar space does not either. If I keep just press these keys, my computer makes a noise clicking / beep and nothing more. I was also wondering if a restore factory could get rid of this problem and make it again fresh. But again, one of the conditions for a factory restore is to disable and press F8 for Advanced Options and he won't be on the menu for me. So I'm stuck pretty well.

    Overall, my problem is that my computer initializes more normally. I have to keep turning market until he finally gives in which case it can take hours. I desperately need help. I hope that I was fairly accurate. My computer is no longer under warranty and I can't afford any premium or other security package. Please, it's my only computer, and that's all what I have to work with. Thank you.

    Hello

    A computer is supposed to make a single "beep" at startup.

    If that in fact more than one, this indicates a hardware problem.

    You will need to go to the Dell website and know what BIOS that you have in your computer model.

    Then check in these links 'beep' error codes know what hardware has problems.

  • Installing the graphics card... System does not boot

    Hello

    I received a HP P6-2387ea today (I5, 8 gb, H61 Chipset) with the intention to introduce a new GeForce660 inside that also happened today.

    The PC boots up well with its default material and very well with my addition of a 500 watt PSU... However, when I add in the GeForce 660 does not start, I am rather greeted by 6 beeps to the bios, which is obviously not a good thing.

    My first thought was gpu at fault, but I tested it on another machine and it works fine. I also took a GeForce 460 of this old machine and tried in the new HP one, same result.

    I'm missing something here, or I have a faulty card or something?

    (To avoid responses of stupidity, yes the 500w PSU is a lot and the appropriate pci-e 6pins were attached).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    First response to your title question is "no, your motherboard is not broken.

    Try this:

    Boot into the bios and go to the Secure --> Secure Boot Configuration topics. Now disable secure boot and turn on legacy mode. Now let's see if the PC will start using the material existing HP before you make any changes. If the PC starts, then try just a video card.

    View your results.  I have a suspicion about what the issue is for the motherboards that are active UEFI.

    Side note:

    It seems someone is trying to find an answer to this question using different HP computers as a way to find the answer when the PC is delivered W8 and active UEFI.

  • Dell Inspiron does not go in GRUB after the stop of Kubuntu

    I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (Ubuntu) laptop and installed Kubuntu 15.10. No dual-boot. Kubuntu only.

    Everything seems to work... with one exception: after closing down (or restarting) of KDE/Kubuntu, laptop computer does not successfully start only once.

    When I shut down the system, everything seems ok. Then when you press the power button, I see the Dell logo for a short period of time (as a kind of progress downstairs bar) as usual. Then the screen flashes in different shades of black, nothing more. No GRUB menu. In this pressing situation ++ restart the laptop and GRUB is reached and everything works fine. Following restarts (without having to boot into Kubuntu) works also without problem. However as soon as I have boot into Kubuntu and start/stop from there to the next single boot of the laptop will fail.

    Any idea what the problem might be?

    I think I found the answer: askubuntu.com/.../428857

  • System does not boot, get the white screen after preparation for auto repair

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and yesterday there were some ongoing update and must restart.  When the computer reboots, it took some time and then I got a blue screen (very quickly) who said something as she encountered a problem and needs to fix (it is really fast and I can't see the whole text).  Then goes and comes back as it is booting (with the toshiba logo) and he says prepare auto repair.  Then it goes to a white screen. I tried to get into the HARD drive recovery (power with F12) and when I select HDD Recovery and confirm Yes, it just goes to a blank screen.  I went into the Setup utility (powering now F2 while) and has chosen default install and who does not either (although it has fixed the problem with my keyboard backlight does not). Support of Toshiba said that it is the operating system, not the hard drive.  But I need a drive recovery media that will scan all.  Anyone know other options?  I have a disc of recovery of a Microsoft coming 8 Pro (dell).  Would it be an option, to use it (I got it on a flash drive) and start-up of that?  Thanks for the help.

    Hi John,.

    Thank you for the update.

    Given that you want to use the Windows 8.1 recovery disk, you won't perhaps able to start Windows 8 using Windows 8.1 because the computer may not be able to find the files of Windows 8 start to recover.

    Yes, you pouvez install 8.1 Windows using the recovery disk. However, you may not be able to perform the upgrade option when installing Windows 8.1. When you click install now and follow the instructions, you must choose the Custom Advanced option to continue installation. Choose Advanced custom options will create a folder in the C: drive (or any other partition when you do not want to install) named the Windows.old folder which expected to have all of your files and documents of previous installation and are accessible.

    Make sure you have the drivers available for the devices installed on the computer as network card, drivers etc. of video card you install Windows 8.1.

    Hope the information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Thank you.

  • Dell: inspiron 1525 not boot from a USB stick, USB key are not not in the start option.

    Hi all

    I bought this dell laptop inspiron 1525 in the year 2008 with mentioned configuration:

    Core 2 duo processor

    1 GB OF RAM

    Due to some problems in my windows vista, I decided to install a new windows vista in my laptop. I run the dell support live cd at the start of my laptop and created the partitions on my system. But while the new installation OS on the cd i found that optical drive of my system does not work very well. so, I decided to install the new OS of USB. I went to the BIOS and selected the USB key in the boot sequence. but when I tried to install the new OS while pressing the F12 key, USB key is not listed in the start option.

    could someone help me to install the new OS in my machine? It is very urgent that my machine is down for 1 week.

    Please try attached BIOS changes screenshot than everything be useful to me.

    Thank you

    Gurpreet

    Hi Gurpreet,

    Thank you for your response.

    My apologies if I seem repetitive, but when you go to the Option of boot sequence in the system configuration screen, do you think that the USB storage device listed? And do you see a number in front of it?

    Go to the option for embedded devices and check if the USB ports are enabled or disabled. If disabled, change the option and enable the USB Ports.

    If this step does not help, go to the Maintenance option in the system configuration screen and press enter on 'Load Defaults'. On the side right, highlight 'Continue' in green, press Enter and then save & exit.

    Please keep us informed of the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • EliteDesk 800 G1: EliteDesk 800 G1 does not boot UEFI disks immediately after-> UEFI BIOS change

    I am changing our configuration of the BIOS boot in the UEFI. I tried to simplify the problem.

    I boot via PXE BIOS of SCCM task sequence and perform following actions:

    1. Apply UEFI Secure Boot configuration with BiosConfigUtility (enable Secure Boot, boot which is ignored anyway... order)
    2. Fixed disk partition type as TPG
    3. Create Fat32 partition to boot EFI and an NTFS volume for the data
    4. Apply WinPE to NTFS and copy the boot (bcdboot) in Fat32 files
    5. Set the volume to Fat32 as ESP
    6. Reset

    Now BIOS does not allow me to start this disc. Disk appears in 'Device Configuration', but not in the boot order.

    If I start again to PXE (now in mode UEFI) and check the contents of the disc, everything seems in order. If I reapply my script to repeat steps 4 and 5, and then the next time the disc will apper in the boot and boot order.

    If before the first attempt of UEFI, I put in a known UEFI boot disk, the system does not start it no more.

    I think that there is a bug in the BIOS.

    I saw something similar with Z620. When to apply some config past to the BIOS, the system is no longer shows startup valid drives in the boot order (this attempt was in BIOS mode). Emulation of the RAID controller is switched back to AHCI has worked around him then. But this time I'm not emulation of the controller.

    As BiosConfigUtility reports that it has fixed start changes but when reading them back (before or after the restart, they are the same). It's not as important, but

    BiosConfigUtility 4.0.15.1

    BIOS final v2.68

    My repro led nowhere (successful boot) but I was hired by HP support and all by responding to their email, I accidentally found the question.

    My BIOS setup script was a command to disable temporarily BitLocker if configuration is repeated his request for a system that is already deployed.

    manage-bde-protectors-disable c:

    However, this had inexplicably FAT32 partition become encrypted. If I started to UEFI PXE SCCM WinPE on the next boot, silently erased WinPE encryption and system would be on hard disk again, causing confusion.

    But when, for a test, I booted a Linux LiveCD, it showed encryption.

    I guess it's been like this for a while but only in this case C: was be the UEFI boot partition (usually it's system partition). In hindsight, my repro of WinPE image have also components BitLocker...

    I deleted command BitLocker and now it starts normally on hard drive after the configuration change. Detective Conan for time to engage the support of Microsoft and HP...

  • Satellite Pro A200 - system does not boot

    Hello

    wondering if someone could help?
    My Satellite Pro A200 with windows XP does not start. It starts with the Toshiba screen.
    Then goes to a screen black with text where it says "PXEE61 media test failure - check cable" (I have no cable) then said out of PXErom; moves to the next screen, which lists the options: safe mode; safe mode with networking; safe mode with prompt local; Last Configeration well-known; Start windows normally.

    Which have been tried and results in loading from page turns on for about 20 seconds, then just to abandon and trying all the whole process again (before flashing a blue screen) Windows.

    Nothing seems to work - tried to take the battery on a... number oftimes and the power cable, but nothing helps.
    It's already happened, but after a few false starts gets going - but this time he just don't come out it. I could not take others where locally, but I would prefer not to because I live in Spain and need the laptop as soon as possible and do not know, I want to leave it in some otherwise are hands to the risk of wipe them the hard drive.

    So, I would be very grateful for any help as soon as possible and I fear tech short hand maybe having to explain.

    Thanks a lot, a lot.

    Hello

    I think the problem is that the operating system is not found on the HARD drive.

    The test failure PXEE61 media - check the cable appears especially if the laptop tries to boot from LAN.

    Why the laptop is trying to boot from the local network?

    Well,.

    -option may be the LAN was chosen first in the boot order in the BIOS
    -Maybe the drive is defective and so the laptop is trying to boot from LAN
    -the MBR (master boot record) is may be defective

    I think you should take the Toshiba Recovery CD and need to format the HARD drive and needs to be reinstalled the operating system.
    This should help.

    If not, then the HARD drive could malfunction and should be replaced!

    There is no restore point.

  • System does not boot after CHKDSK

    Reference Dell 745, XP SP3, fully patched. Had not run CHKDSK in 5 years, machine has been in use, thought it might be a good idea. NOT!

    I plan to CHKDSK/F, he ran at the next startup, then I get the splash screen, then black screen, nothing else. If I turn the power off, the next time you start trying to run CHKDSK again, and if I run it or not, same result - start screen, then nothing. What to do next?

    The machine is in reverse now - here's "the rest of the story" - pressing F8 didn't work, couldn't get into safe mode. Recovery Console is not installed on versions of our company. I was able to get a couple of our Support service for Office XP installation diskettes - only one is bootable and even through, that's for XP SP1 and I have XP SP3, it worked.

    Choose the option to repair install didn't solve the problem at all. Once again starting on the CD, I chose the Recovery Console. At this time, I chose FixBoot and FixMBR. And then when I removed the CD and booted up again, pressing F8 gave me access to the boot with Safe Mode and other options menu. Safe mode does not work - I got nowhere (I don't remember exactly what happened at this point, but it did not help). Which does not finally was the last good Configuration. Once I chose that and rebooted, I had a relatively normal cases, slow start and connection, without the detour by CHKDSK. He has been sluggish about 10 minutes longer than normal, but worked normally since.

    I don't see any reference to CHKDSK saves in my shaft system of the observer of events tools - any suggestions on where I could display them?

    My lesson learned here - if the system is not broken, CHDSK is going to break, so on modern systems, only run CHDSK when you experience the symptoms that you can't otherwise explain. That had been the case at home on a Win7 laptop, which had suddenly slow, with a blurry view near the start icon.  I had been worried about the virus and horses of Trojan, but a suggestion in the forum Win7 on Tek-Tips pushed me to run CHKDSK, who did to solve this problem. It's a relief to be back to normal!
