• Fujitsu Siemens AMD computer even will not start all of a sudden upward (not!) - loop

  Hi all

  My computer has always worked great and I have a valid version of 32-bit Vista Home Premium .

  My computer runs on the following specifications:

  AMD Phenom 9500 + 2.2 ghz QUAD

  RAM: 4 GB of Ram

  Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 3850 512 MB

  Motherboard: AMD 690 G

  Yesterday, I was on my computer as usual and was on a server VOIP talk to my friends. As I'm holding down my push-to-talk button all of a sudden, my computer restarts and every 1-2 seconds in the restart it restarts again.

  It does not have any bios loading screen and nothing.

  I opened and cleaned everything but I could not find any problem. Any idea? It is literally on autoEVERY 2 seconds... he just constantly made the sound of a computer restart like as thought I would be pressing the button like a maniac.

  If it helps, I think my computer was on during the night and the following day until 02:00 so so well over 30 hours.

  Any help asap would be crucial.

  Best regards

  PS I am writing from my laptop: p

  So! Finally, I've isolated the problem for now.

  I have 2 different memory channels (purple & orange) and channels 2 & 4 If you count the farther away from the CPU does not work which means that I had to remove 2 GB of RAM

  Looks like the solution for now is to use my pc to 2 GB. I will update to WIN7 tonite, then ill try using two sticks again but I think ill have to buy 2 x 2 GB instead of using 4 x 1 GB that I used to use...

  No idea how to solve this problem with the ram slots?

• HP Pavilion p6-2054uk: HP Pavilion p6-2054uk does not start all of a sudden upward. Help, please.

  I hope someone can help here?

  I have a desktop HP Pavilion p6-2054uk (Windows 7 64 bit - i5, 3.00 Ghz - 6 GB of RAM) that I bought in 2012 and especially use of HP products.

  By starting my PC the other day, it will not start and crashes on the HP splash screen. When you press ESC, F10 and F1 and F8, it simply changes the screen to a black screen with 7 lines of text giving the details of my PC base on this subject. It should give me other optins at this stage, but does not work.

  The HP Pavilion p6-2054uk hard drive does not start even another hard drive OS I've tried from another computer with Windows 7 64 bit on it. Troubleshooting a few others, I even tried a fresh new hard drive in it with a new copy of Windows 7 64 bit to install into the CD Rom and it will not yet go through the HP start - that is abnormal screen since usually, it detects the Windows CD and install. Furthermore, fans in the PC work normal, as the eject the power of the PC CD ROM light is on too. I tried all the three available inside power cables and tried diferent nine cables sata/data and another monitor entry too, all to nothing done.

  The hard drive that was in the HP Pavilion p6-2054uk when he stopped to start up is fully accessible when placed in the other machine I have. Therefore, it is still operational.

  The notable thing only I did in the days before it were installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 but I do not think that it would cause a major problem like this, noting also that another hard disk OS (without Creative Suite 6 is installed) and a new facility wouldn't start either. Therefore, I am afraid a harware issue any.

  What could be going on here?

  Side for the second or 2 of optimism about the usual boot the PC normally makes noises, it looks like he died immediately after, suspended on the HP screen.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi there @dougaljoe,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your computer does not start and it is indeed suspended at the HP logo even with a different hard disk (with configured operating system) installed. I'm happy to help you with this.

  I suggest that you perform all hardware diagnostics in the BIOS/UEFI. Please also refer to the following, as it covers a range of start-up problems, and if you follow the symptoms you experience should be useful. It includes information on diagnosis.  Computers HP - computer won't start (Windows 7)

  According to you it might just be something easily replaceable, or something more simple to set, or in a worst case something requiring maintenance. If the worst case rears its ugly head, then try a hotline. Please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and call HP. If you do not live in the United States / Canada, please click on the link below to get contact information for your region. http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html If all goes well, he will not come to that, but it is preferable to have the information if necessary.

  > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

  I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

  I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
  As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

  When I press on, the light blinks for a milliseconds and then nothing happens outside the DC flashes orange.
  I tried to start on battery only and DC only and nothing seems to work.

  Think you that adapter, AC power or internal battery is dead?
  I only just got it repaired a month or he is before the end of the warranty but its all done now so have that support.

  see you soon

  Hello

  This looks like a motherboard problem and not a battery or an AC adapter problem.
  The LED provides an error code which can be read by a technician for laptop.

  Generally, the warranty covers the part repaired for about 6 months.
  If the defective part has been fixed then a month ago and the same part failures again then the warranty should cover the replacement.

  In this case, you must call the ASP in your country and should explain the issue

  I HAVE A VERY OLD DELL LAPTOP THAT WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME, AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT LOOKS LIKE SA WORKS VERY HARD!

  It seems that two things must happen... Three if you don't have good backups (it would be the first thing * if * you have not any outside of the machine.)

  (1) the material must be tested.  By restarting and pressing the combination of keys at the right time could test the hard/readers/speed control (CTRL + ALT + D, on a dell computer before starting at startup of Windows.)  For other tests - Dell probably put on a partition or sent a CD with the machine that allows you to perform a battery of tests on the... video, audio equipment, etc.

  (2) a restoration clean install a factory should probably be made * if * hardware testing are in agreement.  You could probably clean the machine by following the steps I'll give you - but knowing no more about the problem that we are so far... If that does not better... it's perception, or something so serious, that a clean install is probably the only real 'next step '.

  (And if the new facility does not solve it and analysis of material found nothing - that's the perception, or something (material) defective which is not be picked up).

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• 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.
