• XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

  Dear members of the Forum.

  I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

  Core i7 4770 k

  2 TB HARD DRIVE

  16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

  NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

  BIOS version A10 (later).

  RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

  I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

  After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

  I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

  I used tape you will static isolation.

  Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

  If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

  How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

  What would be your suggestions?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Mauricio

  Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

• Windows does not start after the update...

  Hope someone can help with this,

  I just installed the update sp1 for my computer for Windows Vista Premium Home dir all installed with no problems, but when I restarted my pc, Windows wouldn't start. The only thing that is on display is a black screen with Windows Error Recovery on top, then he said "Windows does not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. I tried to restart it in different ways, but nothing. Then he said: I have to insert my OS drive to try to fix, but that's not even start. Everyone knows about this problem? This has happened right after that I installed the update...

  L.Butler,
  Are you able to boot from your Vista DVD or recovery partion and run the Startup Repair tool?  If you do not have a Vista disc so make sure that your computer is configured to boot from the CD drive before booting from the hard drive.  Once you start with support for Vista select the "Repair your computer" option and first run "Startup Repair".  If that is not correct the problem then boot with Vista support and select the option "System Restore" and choose a date prior to the update install.
  Once you are able to boot normally again, then I suggest that you are looking for virus\malware.  SP1 was released in April 2008.  So if you install earlier means there may be other problems on your system.  If you have a backup of your current personal data then I recommend to do a clean restore to install\factory.  Then immediately install antivirus software, and then do all Windows updates before installing other software.

• Pavilion HDX 16: Windows 7 does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  I have a system to dual-boot with windows 7 and ubuntu (with Windows 7 and NeoGrub Bootloader Windows Boot Manager).

  Recently, I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 via free upgrade offered by SM. However, I didn't like windows 10 and tried to upgrade to windows 7 by the following settings-> update of the security & -> Recovery-> Go Back to Windows 7.

  After the long process of decommissioning, cannot start windows 7 and the "Startup Repair" tool began to run. However, he could not solve the problem. Other recovery options 'system restore' and 'image system recovery' is not such that it could not find any restore point or the image created previously (I'm sure it were created before upgrade restore points).

  So, although I can boot ubuntu without any problem, I can't start windows 7. After the "starting windows" screen, I get the blue screen (a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down...).

  I intend to use the DVD to install windows 7 for repair, but

  (1) I don't know if I can boot from the CD because it is a dual-boot configuration

  (2) I'm afraid of losing work ubuntu OS.

  I appreciate if someone can help me find my Windows 7. I thank very you much for your time.

  Sorry, but there are a lot of reports on forums of Win10 the option of GoBack does not always work correctly.

  You should be able to boot properly from the same DVD of Win7 if you dual-boot with Ubuntu, but be aware, if the startup repair works (you may need to run three times), it will replace the link to start Linux in the MBR and after that, the machine starts immediately to Win7.  You will need to reinstall GRUB to get Ubuntu boot back.  You may be able to fix the boot of Ubuntu using repair boot: Boot-Repair - Community Ubuntu Documentation

• Lightroom does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10, Version 1511, 10586

  Hi all

  After the upgrade to Windows 10, 1511 Version, lightroom 10586 CC can't be launched. Adobe cloud nor any link office or file system path to the files directly program. Lightroom.exe can be seen in the Task Manager for a second and then disappears to nirvana. No answer, no trace.

  What should do?

  standard things as uninstall - re - install, stop between the two, log out of the clouds - connect to the cloud, register of audit were made in several variants without success!

  Kind regards

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  See also:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

  Hello

  VMware support solve my problem:

  We have seen two issues after the update.

  First of all, there is no user of the solution for the virtual center when I checked the application users with SSO to the webclient service administration page.

  Solve us this problem of repointing Virtual Centre to the next according to the kb SSO instance;

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2033620

  1. repoint.cmd configure vc - search server https://vcenter.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk - password "laquesea" - openssl-path of the user "admin@System-Domain"-"C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\bin."

  After that, the modules in the vpxd.cfg solution was not properly updated and an operation manual.

  vCenterServer_251703

• Windows does not start after the use of CD "" Toshiba Recovery and Applications/drivers ".

  Well my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5814 laptop was very slow and I was getting very frustrated with it, so I decided pop in the CD "Toshiba Applications/Drvers" perhaps to restore my laptop to factory settings and run perfect once again.

  As I was doing this operation and tried fixing it, the thing finished and off the laptop. And when I turned it back on, Windows will now start and give me the Windows Boot Manager screen. My laptop had Vista on it and I even tried to install Windows XP Home Edition on it with a disk I had. But whenever he's going to do, he says he can find t any hard drive? But for sure, there is a hard drive!

  I do not understand what has happened and why this Toshiba drive ruined my laptop. Before I used this drive my laptop has always works and works OK, it has been slow but still booted Vista and stuff ran. Can someone please help me or tell me what to do, I think that Toshiba has messed up my laptop with disc here, and I don't think that we should have to pay so he can get fixed.
  Please help me.

  Hello!

  I don t think that the Toshiba Recovery disk ruined your laptop.

  If I am right on the recovery disk is Vista and it was installed before. I think the installation going something wrong.
  When you get the Windows Boot Manager you can fix your computer? You can reinstall Vista without the recovery disk when you choose this option, then Toshiba product recovery.

  When you install Windows XP, you need a SATA driver. If you don t use one, you will get this error which can t find hard drives.
  You can download it on the Toshiba site and after booting from the XP CD, you must press F6 to load drivers from a floppy external drive or use you nLite to create a disc with drivers.

  Good bye

• Windows does not start after the installation of NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500. Help!

  Before, I had a Sparkle GeForce2 MX400 64 MB AGP Graphics Card with the installed driver. I have not had any problems with him, but I need to upgrade, so I got a NVIDIA Inno3D GeForce FX5500 256 MB 128 bit AGP graphics card. So, the thing is, before I installed the driver for it, the computer was working fine, but of course I can't play games. So I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA (175,19 I think), and I installed it in safe mode to avoid any conflict with my antivirus. The installation is complete, and the system restarted. Everything was going well until after the windows logo (by the way, I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3), when the system crashed all of a sudden. The screen turns off, the unit of the system itself was still on, but it does not. I tried enabling / disabling the NumLock, CapsLock button to check if there is an answer, but I have nothing. I manually turned the computer off, waited for about 3 minutes, the market again, but again, the system crashes after the screen Logo of Windows XP. I started in SafeMode again, uninstalled the NVIDIA driver, restart the system and everything went back to normal. I retried my old 64 MB AGP card and it still works fine. I really need to install the driver to make the most of my 256 MB graphics card. Can anyone help please?
  So far I did the following:
  1. re-installed Windows XP
  2 re-installed the driver NVIDIA about 5 times already.
  3. update all the drivers of my motherboard.
  4. completely removed all traces of NVIDIA using Drive Cleaner and put it back.
  5 installed DirectX 9.0.
  Still, none of them worked. Help!

  Here are my computer specs:
  OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
  Motherboard: ECS 661FX-M rev 1. 0 b
  Processor: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
  RAM: 768 MB

  If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, then go to Device Manager and uninstall the drivers for the graphics card and restart the computer.

  If it boots fine in normal mode and then try to install the latest drivers in normal mode and check if that helps.

  Check if that helps.

• Windows does not start after the start menu after installing own home premium 7 on the Dell Inspiron Duo

  I did a clean install of windows 7 Home premium 64 on my dell inspiron duo 1090, returning 8.  This laptop does not have a disk drive or an Ethernet port.  I used Installer 64 bit of this Web site and the corresponding link.  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/can-i-revert-back-to-Windows-7-from-Windows-8/f8f5aaaa-8a18-4255-a6b2-5ecd6840d7ab

  It installed perfectly fine at first.  I was unaware of the proper order of pilot facilities and went first on the network drivers.  Designed for cordless operation and then use the updates automatic/driver finder.   After going on the dell site and download the drivers of network to a flashdrive from another computer, I then unpacked and used the setup.exe.  Now, when you try to restart the computer it perpetually loop screen Dell, the only options in F2 for Setup or F12 for boot options (the only option being the hard drive boot because there is no disk drive physical and nothing mounted on a virtual disk drive).
