• computer will not start at the top. Did just a bit of noise and a bright flash, but nothing else works, not even the monitor

  No Visual on the screen.  The computer does not (noise) to turn on.

  All I can do is repeat my previous tips for you:

  If nothing appears at all, it seems to be a hardware problem.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  If it is not under warranty, contact a local and trusted computer repair shop.

  Good luck with it.

  See you soon.

• Stuck loading device driver. Computer will not start at the top.

  Original title: recovery

  I recently bought a laptop usedsony off Ebay with Windows Vista. I started it up without any problems. Then online and proceeded to the update of the system. Once finished, I rebooted the laptop, now it turns on, but it gets stuck at a driver (ckcdsk) loading system. Unfortunately, it came not with an original Windows disk or recovery disk. Can I get help on this.

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  __________________________________________________________

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Vista - computer will not start without the disc

  loaded vista on my computer - now computer will not start without the disc

  Went into my bios as suggested to check the boot order - and, Yes, I got HDD1 as first boot then CD - but then I remembered something I had seen earlier on my computer - it was on the list the HD which had my system like HDD0 files - so, I checked and there it was - listed option HDD0 so I changed HDD1 of HDD0 and was able to boot my computer without the disk system.  Hope this helps someone else with the same prob.

• computer will not start with the disc

  I use vista and my computer does not start because of a corrupted file.

  I put my vista disk in such suggested, but the screen does not move any command of keys to press and just goes round in a loop. So I can't the computer to start and fix.

  I changed the bios to boot from the cd as first choice but still no results.

  can anyone help?

  Could it be that the disk driver does not work like the disk isn't loading? Or the disc will not load because the press any key order is not coming?

  I am old enough and not very technically experienced but this computer has served me well and I have a lot of information that I need to go down there if I have to buy another.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  If you have correctly setting the boot order in the BIOS to CD/DVD first, and the computer does not start, your problem has nothing to do with the driver for the CD/DVD drive. Also running in safe mode or SFC can maybe help you.

  The reason that pilots, safe mode and FCS can help you is the same for all three: boot (if from the hard drive or a CD or DVD) takes place before loading Windows. If it boots from a CD or a bootable DVD, the problem has nothing to do with Windows. It's a hardware problem. I don't know what the problem is, but it is possible that the CD/DVD drive is dead.

  What is wrong can but fixable, but whether it is cost-effective to do so is another matter. It depends on what the problem is. If the CD/DVD player, they are inexpensive, so replacement should not be expensive. Fortunately, it's not like there is a problem with the hard drive, so even if you buy a new computer, you must be able to remove the hard drive from the old computer, put it in an external enclosure and to transfer the data to the new computer.

  Let me add another point: you say "I have a lot of information that I need to get off it if I have to buy another." This suggests that you don't regularly back up your data on an external support. If this is the case, you've played with fire. It is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

• Computer will not start after the installation of Windows Vista SP2

  
  After downloding and installing Windows Vista SP2 on ACER laptop for my daughter, I can no longer start the computer.  Initially registered startup C:\\Windows\System32\drivers\ecache.sys as corrupt file repair.  Change BIOS to boot first from the optical drive and the departure of computer with Vista DVD in the drive, I accepted the option repair.  No chance that the machine always fails to start and always displays the window "Statup repair."  Auto repair is always unsuccessful.  Repair suggestions will be appreciated.  Thank you.  Bob G.

  Support Microsoft still offers a FREE support for Vista SP2.  Go to: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1 where they will help you.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• computer will not start up - the application or the C:\WINDOWS\system32\DNSAPI.dll DLL is not a valid Windows image

  When I try to start my computer, I get this message... [the application or the 32DNSAP.dll DLLC:windows\system is not a valid image. [Please check this against your installation diskette.]  However, after inserting disc and reboot, I get the same message, and the computer starts. Any suggestions? Please and thank you

  Well, I know what this means and have recreated on my system (that's how I got the exact message).

  Now we will see this as the system engineers of Microsoft came up with a workable solution that does not involve the possession of a genuine bootable XP installation CD (sorry - there is no Microsoft KB article for this message).

• Computer will not start after the installation of Kaspersky, will not even go into safe mode

  I tried to install Kaspersky on my laptop this morning to roll some viruses on my computer. After you restart during the installation, I got the blue screen of death with a STOP 0x000000F4 error code. I can't use my phone at all now, and it will not work in SafeMode either. I tried to restore the computer to before that Kaspersky was installed but it cannot do so. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration, but that did not work. I have no idea what to do now. My laptop is basically useless now and I am very angry.

  If I have the Kaspersky disk in I kind of access Kaspersky, and it keeps telling me it is obsolete and must be updated, but it will not be updated. Also, it tries to mount the drives or something and gets stuck trying to create the swap file. I don't know if it's important, but I'll post it anyway.
  I'm at a loss to know what to do...

  If you have tried to install an AV program after your PC has been infected you left it too late.

  Your safest option is to use your recovery discs to get destructive if you plant (make sure that the external devices are disconnected during this process)

  I hope that you, the data has been saved you will lose everything on the PC

  Once recovered allow windows update to do its thing for Important updates ONLY. It may take several reboots.

  If any update fails cure this problem before doing anything else.

  Once the update finished visit of manufacturers of laptop for important driver updates to update necessary.

  Only after this has been done, you should start installing software or external devices.

  If an installation fails, solve this problem before

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  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.

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

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

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

  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:

  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.

  If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

  Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

  Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

  Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

  The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

  I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

  I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

  If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

  Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.
