  • Computer will not start normally - boots to the BIOS boot screen

    Hi, today I had problems on my computer and it will not start normally upward. This started happening today. When I turn on the monitor, the HP logo appears on a blue screen (as usual), but then, there are a lot of vertical white lines grouped perfectly on the screen (it's never happened before) he started to arrive yesterday. and when I try to start it, there is just a black screen for a long time and sometimes the system recov appears but it takes SO long to finish so I just stopped and went into safe mode and did a quick scans with Malwarebytes, MS Security Essentials and SUPERAntiSpyware, but they are all come clean except SUPER which came with a few things from tracking cookies...

    Today, I have scanned a full scan with malwarebytes and it says that there is no infection.

    can someone help me? I'm at the library atm! Thank you!

    Picture of the blue screen with lines here: http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8583/post1278441253416372.jpg

    also - im wondering how to start with recov disks? I have two drives but only as on slot dvd thing and I know to start upward with her? should I boot with it because the layout is a little down? and I don't have an installation disc windows vista then Yes.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Winston,

    According to the image that you posted, it seems that the blue screen is a blue screen with the HP logo on the subject.

    If this is the case, then the machine has not yet reached Windows and is suspended in the machine Power On Self Test.

    My recommendation for this scenario is to contact HP about what there is something at the level of the material / process/firmware BIOS which prevents the machine to get it to start Windows Vista.

    Let us know what they have to say.

    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

    Dear,

    I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

    Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
    In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

    Help, please.

    > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
    This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

    Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
    It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

    It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure

    23Scorpio, it's my pleasure.

    You should be able to use any standard ATX PSU in the computer.  I suggest to measure the current PSU and comparing measures that you choose.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money.  Both in the links I provided are good examples of what you can use.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about them.
