Installed the latest important updates this morning; upon restart, the computer didn't work as expected. now behaves as if the motherboard is dead.

This morning at appx. 1:30 AM PST, I installed the latest important updates from the Windows Update Manager on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. I did manually, by a double click on the little icon in the toolbar and clicking on the button install. Once the update had completed, I clicked on the "restart later" button and close my computer using the Shut Down command - the usual symbol "click here to close and complete the installation" didn't appear. I thought it was a little weird, but chalked it up to the fact that I had taken the lead and made the installation.

About an hour and a half later, after being able to get to sleep, I decided that I would try to do a job. I pressed the power button and my computer started well upward, giving me the ' now install, update (1/3) [percentage] completed. Do not turn off your computer. "message. Which is quite normal, let him do his thing without turning it off.

The update is completed and I am greeted by my office. Displays the logon to Gmail Notifier window, and that's when my problems began: I tried to move the arrow to disappear, and the arrow has not moved. The circle of "transformation" had, next to the arrow, so I thought it must be a minor hiccup. I've waited, waited and waited... But even after all of my normal startup programs loaded, my mouse has failed.

Pressing the Windows key to open the menu start does not work, either; It was as if everything had been disconnected. After waiting a few minutes, I decide that maybe I just need to restart and, given that my keyboard was not working, I pressed and held the power button until the system off (I know, I know, it's a horrible thing to do).

I waited a minute, and then you press the power button. The lights came on, the fan spun, but the screen remains black as if I did nothing. I waited, because my computer arrived in the past tried to give me an attack of apoplexy by hanging several screens, but... nothing. The fan spun, the light shone their beautiful blue, but that's all.

The only thing I have changed or done differently was the updates, I have not dropped my computer; I've not spilled something on or in I have a Targus chill mat that I use religiously. I download attachments from people I don't know no/trust (I can't, my antivirus program deletes attachments in emails from spam); I use Firefox with NoScript and anti-ad; My AV/Antispyware/malware program is always up to date and six types of awesome and more.

My system is Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6000. I have an AMD Turion 64 x 2 processor and a Nvidia mobile graphics card (I don't remember exactly who he is; I can't the specs). I don't have a DVD of restoration, for reasons that did not need explores right now. I had my phone on... Two years, I think. I'll have to double check.

I can't start in safe mode, because I get nothing - no POST, no beeps, without bumps. The CD/DVD drive makes some noises, as he is looking for a drive (there isn't one in the drive), and that's it.

I think I have to take someone and make them open and see what's the problem, but I appreciate any thoughts/ideas/opinions/assistance that anyone can give. Thank you for your time and attention.

Alas, no, the screen seems to be fine. He had not been acting funny before that, in any case. I checked out, and the external monitor just went to sleep because there is no signal.

Thanks for taking a peek anyway. I guess it's a workshop for me and my laptop.

    Through the windows update install Service Pack 2 and keep getting error 0x800f0818.  Have run fixit and the tool of analysis, but always in error.  Looked this error but can't find anything about it.  How can I fix it?

  • I have a compaq presario sr19090uk desktop pc, and the motherboard was dead. :(

    I have a compaq presario sr19090uk desktop pc running windows 7 64-bit with a card mother micro-ATX (ASUS - A8M2N - LA / Nodus M-GL8E) Socket AM2, Anthlon 64 3500 + socket 939and the motherboard was dead. What is a good replacement that takes in charge a cd/dvd ide burner and sata hard drive for undeer £100. I have also 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM installed.

    Thank you

    Tony

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR1909UK desktop and it is card mother A8M2N-(NodusM). There is a conflict in the two specifications for what CPU socket is actually used. The computer specifications claim a socket 939 CPU, while the motherboard plug State she has a socket AM2. You will need to examine your system to confirm what type of CPU and socket he did.

    It can be difficult to locate a market after motherboard that will meet your needs as AM2 socket 939 about 5 years to 8 years and are several obsolete generation. Check e - Bay or similar in your area for a replacement card which meets you the specifications. Please keep in mind is likely to replace the HP OEM Board on your computer Windows become a "non-genuine" and require the purchase of a new operating system. Note that the recovery discs you created will not be also usable on your computer.

  • Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

    I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

    Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

    If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

    You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

    New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

    • \USERS\\Desktop\
    • \USERS\\Downloads\
    • \USERS\\Favorites\
    • \USERS\\Documents\
    • \USERS\\Music\
    • \USERS\\Pictures\
    • \USERS\\Videos\

    ... etc...

    Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  • Short cut Thunderbird disappeared after an update this morning after a windiw stated that this shortcut is not found. I can't find where is the executable file. It

    This morning Thunderbird updated itself and a window pops up saying shortcut to thunderbird does not exist. After that I can't find where it is so that I can run.

    Thank you very much. Yes, the problem was exactly the same. Thunderbird executable disappeared after an update. I reinstalled it simply by downloading the configuration file. All my configurations and emails and folders, etc were in place. A great feeling to not lose everything. Again, thank you for your kind reply.

  • Firefox keeps crashing after update this morning

    Turned my work computer on and firefox had an update for today. Updated and since then it will not start. It will only crash upon restart it hangs again and send a report. Tried to go to safe mode, but it keeps crashing.

    Here are a few reports of incidents

    BP-1d2e3290-E3A8-4a22-AC56-4afab2140903
    BP-1d4a9fcd-e935-4542-843B-9df342140903
    BP-1d4e1bd6-934e-4e08-A701-450d12140903
    BP-3e28e04b-71cb-49fe-9e13-741a02140903

    Really frustrating as this my work computer with all my passwords and links saved to it.

    You may have to reinstall Firefox 31 temporarily until someone figures more information about this particular crash signature.

    To properly replace your program files Firefox 32 (without affecting your settings):

    (1) this section has a link to get the installer: install an older version of Firefox.

    (2) rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (3) run the installation program that you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    It starts and runs correctly?

    If so, one note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

    Otherwise: We were looking for an issue or in the folder of the external/malware software settings.

  • Windows Update this morning and now firefox is in continuous fall

    System makes the automatic update of windows, this am at startup.

    In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.

    You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop

    You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.

    http://www.Trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem

    Since yesterday, we have a lot of crashes with Roboform. Install the latest version of Roboform 7.6.2 should solve this problem according to the related Bug 691271.

    If you do not report or Roboform, so we must have an ID of crash as Daniel suggested report.

    When you send a report of the Mozilla crash puts it right in a gigantic database. We have no way to seek without the ID of the report. I don't know what the problem is without searching the crash report. Please get the ID of your last report of the accident report.

  • Access denied to records system Win - impossible to install drivers or important updates

    Hello everyone,

    the title pretty much says it all, and I'm desperate. All of a sudden I have no write access to key Windows system files more. I use a password protected administrator account, but all users or groups of users lost their privileges, which is immutable, given that I don't have permission. Now I can not install the drivers of material or some important updates to Windows.

    A virus with a newly installed BitDefender scan found nothing malicious.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit SP1.

    I really hope that someone can help me without formtting and the new installation of Windows.

    Thanks in advance,

    I finally found a solution by following these steps:

    Seems my PC has been infected and kind of taken hostage by some malware, even if I have a virus running in the background scanner. This really makes me think, but for the moment, I'm just relieved and happy.

    Thanks again for your help, Frederik.
