Pavilion H8 - 1240t starts with a blank screen!

From time to time my old Pavilion of 2 years with an AMD Radeon 7070 graphics card will start at a white screen and will continue to restart over and over again until I have pull the plug. Apart from that, a mess the PC works fine!

How I managed to do it starting right now has been by reinstalling the video card and removing the battery on the motherboard for a few seconds. Is this common? What exactly is causing this problem?  HP Tech offers no answers whenever I call them?

Hi bigollo, sometimes the bios gets into a loop and the solution is what you've done, remove the battery from the motherboard is reset the settings, you have to return your graphics card? fact the pc works fine now?, thanks, Adi.

    HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.  Cannot get it to boot Windows.  Any thoughts on next steps?

    I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive.  The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code.  This is probably due to a damaged boot sector.  Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive.  Remove all disks from your DVD.

  • Windows Vista starts with a black screen with the mouse cursor

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba laptop with OS Windows Vista from Best Buy. At time of purchse that Best Buy does not give me the Vista OS software, they said that the operating system is already installed in the laptop.

    Now, after a year, I have problems with the laptop. The Vista starts with a black screen with a mouse cursor. Before writing this issue, I searched some tips to solve the problem as

    (1) by pressing F8 while the computer is on and select it the option "last good known Configuration (Advanced) option." but it didn't work.

    (2) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, then turn on the option 'System repair Option', it did not work.

    (3) by pressing F8 when the computer is turned on, and then select the option "" safe mode / Normal mode option "Unfortunately she also did not work."

    Could you get it someone please let me know how I can solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance

    If Safe Mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a startup repair, etc.:

    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.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    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:

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to make the recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you're up a new drunning.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

  • Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager.

    * Original title: startup error

    Windows 7 starts with a black screen (since the last update), if I go to the Task Manager and processes there are 2 sessions of "run once container" if I stop or another (they are two different size) windows lights up normally.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Thank you for the information.

    System Restore helped to heal the cause (last option of course)

    not sure about the Windows update that seemed to start the problem, but it is 2 instances of run once Wrapper were running.   I have found that if black screen you started the Task Manager, then selected and close it, either run it once windows Wrappers would begin.

    Anyway thanks for your help, we are now healed.

  • Is there a solution for Firefox running with a blank screen (no text or graphics) in Ubuntu 12.04?

    After receiving the upgrade to Firefox 40.0.2 a white screen appears. It is not possible to change the settings of Firefox since the opening page because no text or graphics are displayed. This has happened on two computers, an emachines T3624 and a Gateway 2000. I tried a complete elimination and new installation using the Synaptic Package Manager. I am writing from the Chrome browser.

    I tried to create a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder and adding the line:
    user_pref ("gfx.xrender.enabled", false);
    Who has not resolved the blank white screen issue.
    Then I tried to disable the file prefs.js and user.js file by renameing them.
    It worked. When I restarted Firefox, a new prefs.js was generated. The prefs.js file that causes a blank screen has the user_pref ("gfx.xrender.enabled", false); line in it. The new prefs.js didn't user_pref ("gfx.xrender.enabled", false); in it.

    So, I found the prefs.js file in other machine with the same problem and commented of the user_pref ("gfx.xrender.enabled", false); line. (I guess that remove this line would also work.) Firefox now works on the second machine and is no longer launches a blank white screen.

  • Cannot configure FF to start with a blank page from today - now starts always with previous session

    I have the Options set to always open with a blank page and until today, which has always worked. But today it always opens with the tabs from the previous session. I certainly do not want. I've upgraded to version 38.0 but this made no difference.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    If you can see the normal desktop with an external then post it mght be a loose connector or a liquid crystal display has failed.

    To access the connectors to display that you will need to remove the keyboard and the upper part of the envelope that the keyboard is connected.

    There is no need to try and remove the cover of the display.

  • When I include a Table of contents in my project and get an overview of the project, it always starts with a blank slide that contains an arrow to 'start '. That's fine, but I really want to start with the first slide in the deck. How to change that?

    The Captivate TOC suggests that the first slide must be 'System Basics title Page'. But instead, I get the screen below. You must click on the arrow to start the course. Not terrible, but I'd rather just start with my first slide. Ideas?

  • Satellite C650D-007 starts with a blank white screen

    Hello world

    I need emergency aid, 3 weeks ago, I bought this new laptop from Futureshop.ca and now, today, I pressed the power button to turn it on and when it does I get this white screen of white.

    I even tried removing the battery and connect the AC and it always produces the same thing.

    I can't believe after that only 3 weeks it has stopped working.

    PS: it feeds on. just a white screen empty. No logo nothing.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In the past I didn't had this problem but it must be hardware related issue, so you need to do is to contact Futureshop, explain the problem and ask for replacement.
    Second option for you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service directly. They can check your laptop and replace the defective hardware.

  • Why is my second screen does not work - it starts with my main screen, but then turns off.

    My HP Pavilion P7-1120 Desktop PC does not work with two screens - there 8gig of ram...  1.5 terabyt hard drive, Windows 7 64-bit primary system works via the VGA port, but the second screen does not rest via the DVI port.  The two normal startup with the start-up of information on both screens, then the secondary display stops and I get a message "no signal".  Both monitors worked with my laptop PC and older myDell...

    When I go into the control panel and the view tab - the PC does not recognize the second monitor.

    GEO...

    It's not a problem with my PC or whatever it is in the box.  Cables work on other screens of the RGA and DVI.  There is a problem with my screen - the works of port RGA, is not the DVI port.  Another monitor works properly by the DVI.

    Now fixed.

    I get the grey screen with the apple logo, but I have jagged lines across the screen (a slight green tint).

    the progress bar goes to about 75%, then the screen flashing with a big green bar on the screen, then goes completely gray and then restarts - it repeats and it never completely starts.

    It's a macbook pro 15 "end 2011 (high resolution display).

  • Laptop HP pavilion 17-f115dx: start window and desktop screen

    The problem is the flashes of desktop screen between a blank blue screen with a task bar and a desktop at startup screen. My splash screen comes first, and no problem until I find myself on the desktop, then it flashes between other screens and also the splash screen. I have to control alt delete to close.

    I found the solution on another thread-

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. go to the Services tab

    4. look to the bottom of the window, and then click Open Services

    5. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service

    6. right click and select Properties

    7. go in Startup Type and change to disabled

    8. click on apply, and then click OK

    The flashing should stop immediately

    Alternative route:

    1. press CTRL Alt Delete

    2. go in Task Manager

    3. Select the file--> a new task

    4. type msconfig, then click ok

    5. Select the Services tab

    6. under the name of the category to find Windows Error Reporting Service & uncheck

    7. click on apply, and then click OK

    8 restart your computer & when you connect the flashing should be gone

    The first set of directions worked for me, but someone else did the second set because they couldn't do the first.

    Hope this helps!
