  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.

• HP Pavilion a6552f Desktop will not start - almost tried everything

  I have no idea of what happened, I wasn't home when this thing is dead.

  When I left the machine was not anything... I had a 2.5 drive "in a case connected to the usb with usb power. I was told that my diet was probably too short for my video card, but I used it for over a year without problem, and indeed, while this machine is always on, I rarely use it. I have a laptop.

  Came out for a few hours, come home and the machine was off and wouldn't start.

  symptoms...

  1) press the button, nothing happens

  (2) has a few breakdowns on the power supply with no luck

  (3) open cases. When you press the button the cooling fan move half an inch, but that is all...

  bought the new PSU... same problem persists.

  (4) tried removing memory, swap sticks...

  (5) went out the cable to the card readers (heard it was a problem)

  (6) checking that everything was sitting

  (7) replaced CMOS battery

  All the foregoing and he hehaves the same way... Press ON... fan turns half an inch, and that's all. Desktop will not be powered.

  I would really appreciate any other suggestions. Maybe the jury is dead?

  Thank you

  I would recommend the procedure. Try to re-seating CPU if you are able to do. Disconnect all components as ODD, HDD, add on cards and try to power system. If the problem remains the same, I am convinced that MB was defective. If MB will run, try to connect the components one by one to determine which one is causing the problem. Good luck.

• Dimension 4700 desktop will not start

  I have a Dimension 4700 desktop computer that has been sitting in storage for a while. I wanted to start and see is there something to this subject that I had to save or erase the hard drive. As far as I know, it was working fine when it was put away. Now it won't start at all. Here is what I know-

  Dimension 4700

  Service etiquette: ADMIN NOTE: Service tag deleted by privacy policy >

  running Windows XP Home Edition

  Power light turns on and remains lit (green). DVD players do a rotation test (but will not read a boot disk). The hard drive light comes on and stays on.

  Does NOT display a Dell spash screen. The screen is blank (black) with the exception of a simple white flashing cursor (line underscore). It crashes in this condition.

  Does not meet the keyboard commands (ctl + alt + del, esc, f8, f11... etc.). Does not respond to reset (press power button in disable).

  Diagnostic lights are lit on the rear panel. A, B, C are all stable and green. D is amber and regular.

  All inner and peripheral cables seem to be properly fixed.

  When the power to the hard drive cable is removed, it does NOT POST beeps (the condition is the same).

  I can't get to the Setup screen. I can't boot from a cd. I don't get any sound signals (beeps).

  It is out of warranty, and troubleshooting knowledge base sent in a recursive loop items that never exceeded the step #2. Someone at - it suggestions?

  Because it has been stored for a while, first stage, with the PC off, is to reinstall (unplug then plug back in) all the memory, PCI cards such as video, sound, etc. and all cable connectors.  Make sure that when you plug the points back in that you get fully and correctly reinstalled.     Back off and see if that makes a difference.

• Dell Dimension 1100 (questions to install Win7)

  Hello all;

  I often build custom systems, but a family member recently asked me to install Windows 7. Never, I love working on systems of selling retail, still have problems. His computer is a Dell Dimension 1100, which was Windows XP.

  That is the problem. On the Dell, I set the bios to boot from the DVD drive so it would go to the Win7 Installer. When starting it boots from the drive and crosses the loading Windows screen install. However, after this point, it error. I even tried to connect an external DVD drive to run the disc, however it never recognizes the DVD USB drive. So the next step I took, is pulling on the drive and attaching it to my own system. From there on, I deleted the partitions and install a new copy of Win7 64 bit on the disk. It worked perfectly, and I then he attached in the Dell. But now when I boot the Dell, it goes through the bios first screen, then loading errors. The exact error it shows is ' primary drive 1 not found, secondary drive 1 not found. "It seems that it is no longer detects the hard drive." In the bios, go to Configuration of training and by choosing Primary Drive, it shows the Seagate drive.

  I do not know exactly why the player is no longer detected. I've looked at this he hung and attached fine 3 times now. I had only loose the power and IDE cable. I've attached screenshots below of the start screen and errors and the bios settings.

  If someone could find out what happened, or why the Dell does not detect the drive, it would be more help and a solution if possible. I put the disk in my system, and it detected very well and boots into Windows. So it seems Dell refuses to boot from the system drive and does not detect, even if it appears in the Bios.

• Dell Vostro 220 s turn on but only show black screen on desktop

  My 2008 late model Dell Vostro 220 s desktop with power on and go while the start and shows windows starting but when it will go on the desktop, it will just show a black screen. Any help would be nice!

  Thank you

  Darian C.

  You can try to start your 220 s in VGA mode (video low resolution).

  To start your computer in low video mode resolution, follow these steps:
  1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.
  2. hold the F8 key as your computer restarts.
  3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Activate video low resolution (640 × 480)and press enter.

  If the problem is not reappear low resolution mode, then the question is probably associated driver. You may be able to resolve this problem by updating the video driver with the latest version of Dell or Intel.

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (updating the video/display driver and BIOS)

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - VIEW driver Microsoft set hide - update those without drain in their names (and BIOS and chipset).

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.

  Control Panel device - graphics card configuration-manager - note the brand and complete model of your graphics driver - double-click - tab - write version information. Now, click the driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers you have.

  Now go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), then site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Dell XPS 2710 all-in-One will not start, the totally blank screen

  Hello. This is my first post on the forums and I hope someone can help me.

  The Dell XPS 2710 all-in-one I bought for my 10 year old 15 months ago (Yes, that means that the guarantee is expired) will not start. No no post, no beeps, nothing. Just a brief spark of light on the screen, no words, nothing. The machine gets occasional use, and there is nothing to indicate what could have caused the problem. I have not upgraded the BIOS recently, is not as if it was a bad BIOS update, or whatever it is. I tried to hit the F1, F2, F12 keys delete during startup. No results.

  The video works. I know because I can connect my laptop to the HDMI-in port and I can see the desktop of my laptop very well. So the question is NOT the video. My son uses this machine for occasional movies and homework in his room. I want to fix the computer, if I can. I am handy with computers and built several machines from the outset in the past.

  I believe that the most likely scenario is that the motherboard has went wrong; There are several posts around the internet about motherboards 2710 AIO being unreliable. I saw an ad on the forums of Dell from a guy who said Dell Tech Support replaced its motherboard 2710 five times. I see that some of these motherboards are selling on eBay for around $200. I'm toying with the idea of getting a. I watched the service manual for the 2710 and I'm pretty confident that I could replace the Board of Directors.

  Someone had experience with permutation on their motherboard on a 2710 AIO? Or someone has any ideas on what could be the problem with my son's computer? I appreciate all the advice/help anyone could offer.

  OK, I have removed all the RAM from the motherboard (there were two sticks) and unplug the connector on the SATA hard drive. Then I turned on the machine and got two beeps very strong, but still no video on the screen indicating any form of activity of the POST. The sound signals have been first sounds I've ever heard during the procedure of boot on this machine. I put the RAM back in and re-connected the SATA cable. The way he has been, no video, no post, no beeps. I'm a bit at a loss for what I've decided, this means that the motherboard works technically and that another device on the machine is at the origin of the problem? Have I reason to assume that if I hear two beeps, then I should have the certainty that the motherboard was bad? Given that this a sound signal, the solution becomes cloudy, I guess. I can't help but feel that somehow the BIOS on the computer is damaged. Don't quite know how that could happen, however, because I have not updated the BIOS in over a year. I don't remember what BIOS version I have, but he had been working well for a year with no problems. Thanks for any other help/suggestions you can provide.
