problem starting before windows starts

Hello world

Recently I bought HP Z220 Convertible Minitowers Workstation which is more than good. Windows starts in 20 seconds. What worries me is that when I bought the computer, the startup procedure was really fast. After a some time during the early (before windows starts) appeared onscreen HP saying "Press any key to Option ROM Messages and ESC to enter the configuration menu". It's really annoying because it is there for 1 minute and then the operating system starts.

I tried to change in the first menu via the shortcut CTRL + S, but without success. When I clicked on disable, it's just gone, and now I can not ge it most.

Then I entered in the BIOS and in advanced option, I have managed to disable ROM prompt messages. This one missing at the start, but the second saying "Press ESC to enter the menu setup" is still there. I'm worried that if I disable it, I won't be able to return to the menu setup.

Is there a possibility to reset these startup options? Restore the default values in the BIOS did not help.

Thank you

Joe

  • Windows Vista freezing, problems starting mode safe mode, Windows Update does not work, etc.

    Hi all. I am operating Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, 32-bit on an HP Pavilion dv6000.

    My problems started about two months ago, when I installed several updates through Windows Update. I started having problems with my USB ports (even if these pilots were not being updated) and the computer was never able to close successfully. I tried to uninstall these updates, but that did not fix the questions I had. I have also installed software (AutoCAD 2007) at the same time and uninstalled, nothing helps.

    Then my computer started to freeze after running for a few minutes. Time seems to vary from 5 minutes of good use for 1 hour, but I found that it works only because this so long, I only open a program or file and use it all the time (for example, reading a book in Adobe Acrobat format). If I try to open the program or additional files, go to control panel, etc. (read: if I do everything related to Windows Explorer) the computer crashes. I can still move my cursor but none of the windows meet, and I can't ctrl + alt + delete to enter the Task Manager (I get a black screen).

    I was manually shut down my computer every time that happens and boot in SafeMode several times. Sometimes when I try to start safe mode it is hampering the crcdisk file and turns off. It happens not every time, however. Sometimes, when it starts it running the disk check, and there has been some index files that it has been deleted and orphaned files that it has been moved.

    I tried to do a system restore to a point before the updates I've installed in October, but my computer has no points system, restore even if he says it was their creation before you install these updates.

    The last problem is that when I go to Windows Update, it says that I have never checked for or downloaded the updates in the 15 months that I've had the computer - is not true, I, he lost at the time of all the record of it. So although I would like to provide you with wonderful with a record of what I've updated and people uninstalled, I can't because all this information is gone. In addition, I can't connect to the internet to try to check the news updates, because our internet service runs a USB modem, which is not communicating properly with my computer.

    I hope someone has an idea of what's going on. I just can't understand the common point that all these questions arise, my technology skills are somewhat limited, so I hope for a relatively easy solution.

    BTW, all my files were backed up on external drives.

    I don't know Jack about computers, but I don't know that I went through almost exactly the same thing.  My pc was ok, then in a month or two, it took a nose dive.  something I did was too that much could not think of everything.  A friend told me to reset my bios to default settings and see what happens.  After having spent only 7 hours trying to teach myself on bios, I got stabbed in this area and it worked.  Everything is great runnng.  Now I can even right click on icons without crashing.

  • Satellite L450D - 12 X: black screen before Windows starts - SOLUTION

    The laptop will start the boot process, stop the Windows with the HARD drive lights blinking like it is starting up, but the screen is black with the pointer of the mouse only show.

    Hit the power button to restart the boot process can have the same result or it can start Windows. Sometimes, it can take 3 or 4 attempts to start to get into windows.

    _I have found the fault_ and read of the many messages of the forum, I understand that it is a huge problem for many people who have blamed the Toshiba and windows 7.

    They are all wrong; the problem is not a HARD drive problem or a problem of operating system.
    * The problem is memory. *

    These computers were given free children via PC suppliers appointed by the Government. Those eligible had the choice between several suppliers that were contracted to supply eligible children with these machines. The company that provided our positive Solutions Toshiba boasted their machines were a larger ram capacity and so the customers have been tempted to go to their case and why not with 2gigs available instead of only 1 GB?

    What does positive IT Solutions, it was just add another chip of 1 gig. What they should have done was to remove these two circuits and replace the two as a pair, because it's the chip memory, they added that causes these teething problems and what actually looks like the laptop hardware or windows 7 is to blame. This problem has fleas memory incompatible and rendered as well as by the company provider adding their own single-chip rather than replace them as a pair.

    Here are the simple rules being broken to save money and operate the system of Government by encouraging customers to buy from them under the pretext of getting a more powerful machine. They would have known these chips could cause incompatibility problems and in addition I talked to them to solve the problems we met only to be told that the problem is with windows. I reformatted and could not put in the code for Windows 7.

    After contacting Microsoft, they said I'd need to buy a new copy of Windows 7 or return to the positive IT Solutions for them to give me a new code which of course they would never do. I bought a new copy of Windows 7 on their advice and guess what; the problem was always the same.

    Only after I took apart the case of memory did I then realize what is the real problem.
    I changed the chips and hey presto it works perfectly now.

    I hope this helps others.

    Indeed, failure of module of memory can cause various problems.
    Thanks for sharing this info with us. Might be interesting for the others

  • Problems starting Windows Update now

    Hello

    I run windows vista 64 bit and have a motherboard ASUS striker ultimate with an ATI Radeon 4850 (also ASUS) and a processor intel 2.4 ghz quad core Q6600. Yesterday, I downloaded the optional updates and recommended to my system, at the end of that my system went to restart that failed. I turned off my computer and the screen of the BIOS came to my motherboard. Then I have zero by default, the system and start the computer to the top. My wireless adapter no longer worked and diganose function and repair said he had driver problems. I did a system restore but Hat did not set my start-up problems. I fixed the wireless card drivers, but I still have problems starting. My Hibernate function no longer works, IE will be partially closed but will not again. Also the start of works that after I go into the bios post screen and restore the default values. Does anyone have advice? IM at a loss

    Hi Vanishty2004,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

    Do you remember the optional update that was installed on the machine?

    You may need to uninstall the update has been installed on the computer.

    It seems that the windows update caused the BIOS of the computer to be updated, which should also address the issue of the hibernation.

    Contact your computer manufacturer for an updated BIOS.

    WARNING:

    Incorrect version of BIOS update may cause the computer to be unusable. Contact the manufacturer of the computer system administrator for updating the BIOS.

    Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.

    Thank you & best regards

  • problem starting Windows XP. Reinstall I tried - certificate key is "invalid".

    I bought an ACER desktop computer provided with Windows XP; It also came with a "Shrink Wrap" CD of Windows xp, if the certificate of authenticity was already glued to the computer. This weekend I had trouble starting the computer and a technician said the problem was with Windows XP, so I tried to reinstall the software and opened the shrink wrap and started installing. When I entered my license key from the certificate of Authenticity on my computer, I got the message that the key is not valid. Now, how can I get my computer to work? I'm stuck. Can Microsoft tell me what the key is for the shrink wrapped product supplied with my Acer? Why is my license key of my sticker on my computer not considered valid? THnaks. MAE

    Do you have the correct sequence of letters and numbers. It is common to confuse the number 0 for the letter O, number 8 for the letter B, letter Q may resemble an O.

  • Problem starting Windows XP (x 64)

    Hi all,

    I have a problem with my Windows XP (x 64). The thing is that it doesn't start with any user at all. I turn on the computer and wait for user selection list to appear, and then I chose a user (normal user or admin, it doesn't matter), put the password and press ENTER. Then the system seems to start up of dor on a pair of seconds but immediately displays the message "closure of the session...". "and dates back to the list of users. This happens with all users (admin or not) and in all modes (secured or not)

    No one knows what it is and how to solve?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Charles

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • I have problem starting (windows 7) without black screen

    I installed windows 7 on my laptop (which supports windows 7), 2 years ago. 1 year, I installed a game on that laptop, my laptop was ok. A few months ago, I opened my computer and this happened to me: (check the picture in the link. All my shortcuts in my home page are white, sometimes they still do not appear, the windows key is white, I can't open, install any programs, unless I run it in safe mode, or make the system restore). I start in safe mode, I deleted the game and my laptop had no problems starting. I opened my computer 3 days ago, he had the same problem again and this time, my shortcuts are not yet available in my home page. If I do the system restore, it will be ok, but when I disable it, it will happen the same problem. I tried startup repair, but it cannot detect all problems.

    I had 2, the two 90 GB HDD, 1 is empty, the other is half empty (45 GB), my RAM is 4 GB, it uses only 3 GB, recently spent 2 to 4 GB RAM.
    Is there a way get fix this, without a format?

    I did not install Kaspersky Anti-virus. TDDSKiller is just a small Kaspersky utility designed to search for infections of rootkit that is the worst piece of infection right now. Your computer might be infected with one.

    (In addition, repeat steps 2) and 3).
    If they don't work, then perform a new installation of your windows.
    Good luck!
