  • Computers that are affected by a power failure

    Last night while I was watching TV, the power went out just for a few seconds, then she came back. I don't think anything of it, but, when I went to use my computer the next morning, he was sounding like a war was going on inside. The only thing I forgot to mention, is that I don't always close my computer before going to withdraw during the night, while he was at the time of the failure. Something does not look good and he echoes and I can tell by the power button it seemed that it was not a fixed light, it vibrated. I just hope that it is something that can be fixed. The thing is, I intentionally used these power strips that the electricity company gave to those who wanted to conserve energy, and also I thought it was protected power strips. Now, if someone can tell me if there is a chance that this computer can be repaired and not corrupt, and the ability to fix it myself, maybe? I am at a loss without my computer, and the possibility to buy another is out of the question because I am on disability and I have no savings. Please, if anyone can help me with this one, I'll be very grateful. If there is an organization that provides computers to people in need, it would also be a blessing, or a place or a person who fixes them for a fraction of what the prosecution remains. Thank you, Christina

    Before you start worrying too or attempt to make any kind of troubleshooting, you should consider that the most common result of a power failure while a computer is turned on is nothing.

    This is particularly the case when the computer has not been used for awhile before the power failure.  It sounds like your case: you were in front of the TV and not to use the computer.  Depending on the configuration of your computer to the top, it's probably in standby or, at most, just sitting and idling.

    As a general rule, when a computer is not actually in the Middle using the hard drive, the most that will happen after a power failure is when the computer is next turned on, you will see a message that 'Windows was not properly shut down' and we'll give you a few options.  The option to choose from at the point is to 'start Windows normally.'

    After writing all this, please answer the following questions:

    1. When you first went to your computer the next morning, he was turned on or off?
    2. If it was turned off, what happened when you the activated?
    3. If it was on, click the Start button and turn the computer off (Shut down).  Wait for 2 minutes and turn it back on.
      • What is going on?
      • Windows comes up normally?
      • The computer always made strange noises?
        • If so, are the sounds of speakers or mechanical noises from inside the computer?
    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    If the computer is mechanical noises (I'm not sure what you mean by "sounds like a war was going on inside"), your best course of action is to turn off and take it to a computer repair shop local independent (not a chain of stores).  Too little likely, a fan — or worse, your hard drive - could have been damaged.

    Oh, and these power strips - insofar as they work - prevent power surges ' "(surge), no power failures.

  • Fans always operate at high speed after power failure

    HP Pavilion Slimline S5780T - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    After a power failure a night or more recent, our Pavilion Slimline case fan and CPU fan have both run at high speed all the time, starting from the system. The level of noise is intolerable.

    I opened and cleaned all the dust from the inside of the case, including the removal of the heatsink from the CPU. Everything is clean.

    I ran the following HP Vision diagnostic, test the system, including fans. During the test of fan, the fans ran at 100%, then fell to the former level normal, quiet, then ramp back up to 100%. So says HP fans diagnostic tests are OK when there is always a problem. And it is possible for them to run at slow, normal speed.

    I installed the free SpeedFan utility, but there is not place to adjust the fan speed manually.

    How can I find the problem and the fans run at normal speed, as they did before the power failure? Everything that controls the speed of the CPU fan and the fan is broken.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Strange things happen when power flucuations or failures occur.  Most probably the motherboard has been damaged by the PPE and that is normally not as repairable by a DIY.  If you could find a newer BIOS, that to solve the problem.  Since there can be no more recent BIOS, try to remove the battery from the motherboard for the night and then put the file in and reset the BIOS to see if that helps the default value.  Otherwise, it might be repairable.

  • UEFI auto turn on after power failure

    I bought a desktop computer HP Pavillion PC500-225es (have a holiday home in Spain where the suffix are).

    It is running Windows 8.1 equipped a UEFI BIOS.

    I want the PC automatically restarts when power is restored after a power failure, but I don't see any option to do this in the UEFI BIOS. Is it normal for a UEFI BIOS? I have had many computers with a BIOS for old style and that I can remember all had the ability to set the auto restart after power fail.

    I don't know how a UEFI BIOS integrates with Windows 8.1 but I see no option for this in point 8.1 of Windows either.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    In addition, because the PC was bought in Spain, the BIOS is in Spanish. It seems not be anyway to change that in English, my native language. Not a big problem I can get in Spanish and may apply to the Google translate if I have to, but it would be easier if there was an option to switch to English.

    I ran the HP Support Assistant, and everything is up-to-date, there is no update to download BIOS.

    I guess I'm just stuck with the situation unless HP come with an update of the BIOS to add installation.

    Please see the BIOS for the motherboard Jasmine settings the settings you are looking for. Although this document is intended for the 'Jasmine' motherboard and your computer uses the "JasmineR', the settings should be similar if not the same thing.

    To access the BIOS Setup page... "Turn on the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly, once per second, until the opening of the Computer Configuration utility."

    The following options are found in the Power Options:

    Messages POST (Power On Self Test) Turn on or off
    After the loss of power Previous state, or disable
    POSITION of delay (in seconds) Zero, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 60 seconds

  • My computer has no validation after a power failure

    I had a power failure while my computer was on when power is relit, the computer starts normally, except I now get a black screen and the message "you may be victim of software counterfeiting.  This copy of windows has failed the genuine Windows validation"when I click on the GET valid, he returns with"enter a genuine Windows product key.

    HP Pavilion p6740f Desktop PC upgraded with Windows 8 (64-bit) with Media Center

    Two weeks ago, I changed my video card for a MSI GeForce GTX650 Ti Boost with Twin Frozr gaming; everything worked fine until I was playing a game and shut down the computer by himself as if there had been a power failure.

    I had to unplug the computer and tried plugging it back several times until the led in the Green feed backs reappeared.

    What could cause this problem? I came 4 times so far.

    Power supplies don't push the electricity in the components (motherboard, graphics card, HDD, ODD, etc.)... rather electricity comes from power based on the demand for the components. So, YES, you can and need to install a more powerful power supply (PSU) in your computer to make it work correctly with this monster of a graphics card that you have installed.

    I suggest you get a Corsair CX500, or CX600, as they are highly recommended and are known to adapt to several cases of HP consumer desktop and including your. If you want to facilitate the management of the cables a bit, you might consider getting the power of CX500M or CX600M. These are identical to their non - M brethren and cost a little Pluss but help with the concerns of cable clutter.

  • root > \system32/had.dll message after power failure.

    After power failure, I got the above message.  I tried to rebuild the CD system following the instructions Microsoft but still can't het PC to start.  Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you

    Since you didn't say what were these instructions, we do not know what you were doing!

    You need to start the recovery console, run chkdsk r, then /Rebuild. bootcfg The first part can be read here:

    http://www.icompute.info/System_restore_from_xp_cd.htm

    You will need to understand how your PC (you neglected to tell us the make, model and model number!) can boot from the CD-ROM. Then, run the Recovery Console. DO NOT ENTER THE INSTALLER! (If you do, you run the risk to wipe your entire disk clean!) Follow the indications of the above page and then stops after having successfully performed chkdsk/r. In other words, don't do the fixmbr part!

    Then, for the second part, read here:

  • No network after a power failure and only works in safe mode with network. Operating system is Vista SP2.

    The latest patch to update this system was .net framework 4

    This behavior has occurred on several machines after a power failure in our factory caused all systems restart.

    I have run chkdsk

    I ran sfc

    SafeMode internet works fine.

    Clean boot does not solve the problem.

    Cannot remove .net framework 4 because I can't get windows installation service to work properly.

    X red on the connection in normal mode

    I run with the reset.cmd file subinacl to reset all the registry settings. It gave no results.

    I looked at all of the services that are running successfully in normal mode and those that are run in mode safe and that services to start. This got me internet again in normal mode, but we are far from finished there are a lot of services is still needed. I'll make one by an approach to see what will begin and what doesn't.

    System Restore was successful, but had no bearing on the issue. Here's the solution that worked.

    Safe Mode boot

    on computers that are running Windows live onecar I ran as administrator onecare removal tool

    Remove the Adobe Flash 10 utility

    Open msconfig and services.msc

    enable all services that are running in safe mode to run msconfig on the next reboot. Also enable required services for Windows updates and windows install

    Enable

    BITS, com +, Windows udpate, workstation and service server and all dependent services. If you miss some that is good because you and individual services and start them from services.msc when the next restart.

    Restart the machine.

    I found that after this reboot a few updates have been posted in the update list installed in the control panel that had not been previously listed.

    Remove all instances of Java (cannot be done in safe mode)

    Reinstall Java and flash player from their respective Web sites

    I installed Microsoft Security Essentials www.microsoft.com/security_essentials

    Run windows update and install the updates.

    run msconfig and select normal startup

    Restart and ensure normal operation.

    It takes about 1/2 hour, 1 hour per machine which was much lower than a full reinstall.

  • Power failure/loose Power Bar power cord

    I want to run a few questions in front of the members of the forum:

    Last week, my power bar power cord became loose and off the bar, which stops the computer and the monitor. The monitor has a power button function.

    Before that other devices in the power bar are turned off and unplugged, until the power bar is turned off, until the power is reconnected, until the power bar is turned off, before other devices are plugged in, and before that the devices are suppressed:

    1. in the event that the computer and the monitor will turn off (as they were in the position 'On' when they stop unexpectedly) "or" there is no 'Off' option either on the computer, the monitor, or both devices so that they can be disconnected and reconnected since they will be in the position "Off"?

    2. If the computer and the monitor are 'On' when they turn off automatically during a power failure, can they be left alone without the risk of a wave when the power is restored, OR is there a risk of a surge?

    b. is there "is" a risk of a surge because they are still in position "On", should they be disabled (or they are already in the "Off" position?) unplugged and should bar be off and unplugged then until the power is restored?

    3. in fact, during a blackout, should all appliances be turned off and disconnected, so there is no risk of a circuit breaker of the circuit limit, causing a power surge, or if all appliances can remain plugged in and left in their respective "On / Off" position since before the failure?

    Hello

    Sorry for the late reply.

    It is advisable to have the power with a surge protector bar in areas where the power failure and the cutting power is often or generally just to ensure the security of your system and in particular data. If in your region, power failure, power failure is rare, so you can avoid surge protector.

    Hope, I could answer your query. Feel free to post on the forum if you have any concerns more associated with Windows. We will be happy to help you.

    Kind regards

  • Windows 7 starts problems with black screen and the cursor because of power failure

    I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium OS. Start-up problems arose after the power failure (accidentally unplugged the charger, the battery was not in place) during a video call in Skype. Accessories attached to the laptop at the time were a Logitech Webcam, a dongle Bluetooth, microphone and headphones.

    When starting my laptop Asus N81VP, he'll go as far as the 'Starting Windows' logo, then I meet a black screen with a mobile cursor. I don't then right click, CTRL + ALT + DELETE.

    I tried the things:

    Start Up Repair = "cannot automatically repair."

    System Restore = no available restore points

    Windows Memory Diagnostic = at 100%, no screen of detected problems, then black with mobile cursor

    Networking Mode Safe Mode/Safe = black screen with cursor mobile

    Activate video low resolution (640 x 480) = black screen with cursor mobile

    Good known Configuration = black screen with cursor mobile list

    Start Windows normally = black screen with cursor mobile

    Please help me. I've had this laptop for less than a year, and it would break my heart to have to re - format.

    You seem to have exhausted most of the options available in such cases, except two:
    D ' log in under a different account.
    -To restore your registry files manually. See below for more details.

    On your heart that could get broken: have you considered using the imaging facility that is integrated with Windows 7? You can find it in the control panel / backup and restore. This is somewhat marginal in the feature and it can be finicky, but it saved my butt several times.

    You can restore your registry files manually to a previous point through the steps described below. The process is complex and requires some careful typing. Ask a computer-savvy friend to help you if you lack experience in this field. Note that it may reset your password to a previous value.
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. Select repair in the menu that looks like this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
    3 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the command line in the menu that looks like this:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7
    6. identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be one drive other than c, but it will not X:. You do this by typing commands
    DIR C:\Win*
    Dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you find the Windows folder.
    I'll call this "Q:" drive
    7 type these commands:
    CD /d Q:\windows\System32\config
    xcopy *. * Q:\MyRegBack\
    CD RegBack
    dir
    8. review the dates of the software, system, and SAM files. The files created before or after that is your problem?
    9. If they were made before the problem appeared, you can then type these commands:
    copy software / y...
    /y copy system...
    /y copy Sam...
    (the two points are part of each order)
    10. restart normally. If things don't work then you can go back by copying files from the original register of Q:\MyRegBack to Q:\Windows\System32\config.
