Problem starting my desktop computer

Hello

I would appreciate if you could help me on this.
A few days ago I took my uncle s old Acer Aspire T180 upgrade. It did come with a hard drive, but I got an old Toshiba hard drive which I plugged it in to see if it works.
(Card: 512 MB of RAM, AMD Athlon)
Problem 1) is where the problems began to occur. Startup Repair has not solved the problem. I tried to use the system repair and restore backup options, memory diagnose or Toshiba HDD repair and other options failed.
I thought that it was the hard drive, so I ordered a new hard drive Toshiba from Dell.
Problem 2) after installing the new hard drive, it says «verifying DMI pool...» Disk boot failure. "
After searching online, he leads me to the next solution I need to reinstall Windows 7.
Problem 3) I found the product key on the side of the desktop "Windows xp media Center 2005" and I tried to get on Microsoft, but it was rejected.
Then I found a download link for "Windows xp media Center 2005" I thought was an OS like windows 7 and downloaded on a usb key.
Problem 4) using the. ISO file, I tried to boot to the desktop through F12, however, the system is stuck on the message «verifying DMI pool...» »
These are the problems I have encountered, and try to counteract the problems led me to the other issue.
Please help me.
Thank you
Salman
PS. I don't have the disc of windows 7 or any other disc that came with the desktop computer.

And my product key does not work.

Hello

The most common cause of this error is an incorrect order of boot devices in BIOS. Or the HARD disk is damaged. A hard drive may become inaccessible due to read/write errors, failures or damage of virus attacks. What I can suggest is for you to follow the instructions given by Greg Carmack via this link.

This should help get your query with «verifying DMI pool...» Disk boot failure"set.

Let us know how it goes.

    Help! It started to happen last week and I don't know what to do. Whenever I start my desktop computer, he goes to the back and informed me that my CMOS settings are false. How should I address this!

    original title: CMOS setting

    It mahy be as simple as needing a new CMOS battery.  If you are not under warranty and have a counter top it is usually fairly easy to replace (google your computer for more information).

    If that doesn't fix it, you may need to reset by removing the battery, unplug the power, remove the dough (if any) and now the power button is for one minute.

    I have a HP a1720n and it sat in my closet for about 6 months and finally, I got it out and hung.  When I turned it on it beeps for 2 dry and stopped, then it beeps for 5 seconds and stopped, then start again.  I have to hold the power button to turn it off.  It turns on sometimes and after about 10 minutes it will freeze and I have to turn off the switch.  What is c?  I'm trying to get rid of the computer and I can't if it does not work.  Please someone help me

    I would like to...

    Unplug the power cord.

    Open the side panel.

    Clean the dust in the fan zones.

    Remove the memory modules.

    Replace a module of memory (we'll call it memory 1).

    Plug the power back in and turn on.

    It emits beep with memory 1?

    Disconnect the power supply.

    Remove the memory 1 and insert the memory 2.

    Plug the power back in and turn on.

    Memory 2 emits beep?

    I think you can take it from here...

    Basically you try to find the faulty hardware component or a bad connection card. Keep when the cards until you find the bad boy. Sometimes, simply reseating a card taken is the problem will be solved. If all goes well, it is not the motherboard.

  • Start, programs, desktop computer screen works is not in Windows 8

    Hello

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 17R a few months back, set it up perfectly, any issue until yesterday.
    I turn on the laptop, perfectly fine.
    Sign in, no problem.
    Then, during my splash screen loading, all tiles are black or showing the image of another tile and when scrolling to switch between random images of the tile and her own.
    Only better - when I click on one of the tiles, it flashes a black screen with a black screen with a picture of a battery half in the upper left corner and then send back me to my lock screen. I can't access my program or my desktop. My charms bar works intermittently, allowing me to search programs (although they show a different image so programs), but, again, impossible to open these programs. I can open the settings screen of the PC, but cannot access anything whatsoever.
    I tried safe mode, that actually works, I can do everything from safe mode, but I can't count on safe mode, especially for the fact that I have no sound. But otherwise, safe mode works.
    I also tried to perform a "clean boot", which does nothing to help the issue.
    I run a full system scan with McAfee, that does no bugs or flaws with any of my own files.
    Also, when I reboot the computer to get into safe mode, I get a few options. One is to "Refresh your PC" - does not work. We must 'Reset your PC' - once again, does not work. "Dell Backup and Recovery" - does not work. Then I go to Advanced Options and get even more options. "Automatic repair" - does not work. "Image system recovery" - does not work. "System Restore" - does not work.
    These options give the same message:
    "There was a problem. Reboot your PC to try again. It seems that something has not been loaded properly. Restarting may solve the problem. If this happens more than once, you may also be able to find help from the online search for the specific error code: 80070490. »
    When I search for this code, I find reasons and solutions, that none works. I we MSConfig to run the tool updated in the system and it does nothing. Analysis and repair of finish, while having done nothing.
    Please, what the hell happens to my laptop? What can I do to fix this?

    Windows key + X, select command prompt (Admin), and then type sfc/scannow.  If it detects and repairs system files, run it again until no error.

  • Problems starting up my computer.

    When I turn on my computer it gives me a black screen and 10 seconds, I hear a loud beep.  If I continue to push the power button it lights up then.  Help please.

    Terry-

    It's very interesting.  Please could you tell what the beep sounds / model were [as much as mere words will allow] and just what measures you took [the Startup Repair / chkdsk].

    This would help others who have this problem - it crops up most of the weeks, but the normal response is to check with the manufacturer of PC, as it is supposed to indicate a hardware problem [as others said above].

  • Desktop HP Pavilion - p7 1549: problems with my desktop HP Pavilion - p7 1549

    I have problems with my desktop computer, do very strange things.  A few weeks ago, it would not start and complained no found boot device.   I went into the bios setup and just reset the values by default and it worked for a few weeks.  Now it does not start at all.

    I tried to access the system with F11 recovery and he complains about some secure boot options, I tried to disable secure boot and it still does not work.

    I tried to put another disc in and install Windows on it, but I could not.  Is it possible to upgrade the BIOS by booting to a USB port?  I tried to download the new bios file, but it didn't do anything after that I ran it (he didn't not create a folder for me).

    Everything seems really slow, takes a few minutes to get into the bios or boot options.  I took out the hard drive and plugged into another computer with an external enclosure and my other computer recognizes the drive.

    I tried to do a system restore to factory default start repair/restore and all have failed.  I deleted very recently on the main partition on my drive to try to install 10 Windows on the drive.  The computer appears to be frozen for a long time before continuing with the guests of installation.

    I took out the CMOS battery and you press the power button with the computer unplugged.

    Don't know what else I can try, I'm starting to think that something is wrong with the motherboard.  The computer starts up fine and I can boot a USB Windows install and the keyboard, mouse and video work.

    I think the next thing I will try is tent to start on a standalone update or ubuntu USB boot bios.

    Not really concerned about my data, I just want to get this computer working again.

    Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

    Thank you for the additional information.

    No, you can create a copy of the recovery media.  However, you can purchase the HP media .  If you decide to do a full install, check here first to make sure that the software and drivers are available.

    Hi kkle4,

    You use the preinstalled version of Windows 7 in Toshiba? I can t find any information in your posting on OS :(

    Otherwise I agree with Akuma and you should check the BIOS version and probably an update would be useful. Before you begin to update of the BIOS here are some useful tips:
    -Close all running programs (also, antivirus, firewall, etc.)
    -Make sure that you are logged on as an administrator
    -Unzip all files from zip archive
    -Connect the AC adapter before you can update the BIOS and make sure the battery is fully charged

  • New HP desktop, Windows8, Ubuntu, UEFI and a desktop computer that is no longer start

    I have a new HP desktop computer purchased just before Christmas, 2012.  Not realizing the problems with Windows8 and UEFI, I tried to load the version 12.1, Ubuntu, and now the Office does not start.

    Here is the chronology of the events:

    1A tried to install Ubuntu linux 12.1 with dual boot NO

    2 once installed Ubuntu, the system would not start and crashes with an error message

    3. accessed in UEFI menu and security disabled for all boot devices

    4 tried to start again, but the only thing on the screen is a picture of Seattle and the system will not meet any keyboard input

    At this point you can power cycle this machine, everything you want, and it puts just a photo of Seattle.  I can't access BIOS UEFI, or anything like that and the machine will not respond to any keyboard input.

    I did some research and it seems that this new version of the UEFI running on this desktop computer will not allow the machine to run anything other than Windows8?

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  I don't want doesn't matter what Microsoft anything running on this PC, and want to dual-boot.  I have not the recovery disc for this desktop computer.

    I think about how to solve this problem first becomes the machine to respond to keyboard entries, enter the UEFI and re - enable security this could allow me boot Windows8 still?

    Thank you!

    I finally got the machine to respond to the keyboard.  I found the solution on a linux Web site

    1. turn off the machine by pulling the power cord

    2. remove the battery

    3. press and hold the Power Off button for 60 seconds

    4 replace the battery

    5. start and hold down the ESC key

    BTW, I will update this thing with some notes as this can help someone else.

    The machine is a brand new HP P2-1310.  It comes with Windows 8.

    Try to wipe the hard drive and install linux has been in vain due to the new implementation of UEFI.  At best, I could install linux on a new partition, but the machine does never start the linux OS.  It will start only Windows8 successfully.

    As near as I can tell, UEFI will prevent any OS other than Windows8 currently running on this computer.  See linux UEFI as a kind of security attack and simply prevents the machine to use.  The Open Source community works now this last attempt of MS and PC manufacturers to prevent consumers who buy a new PC to install anything other than Windows8.  Run a search on this issue and you can get more information on the latest status.

    My guess is that sometime in 2013 different versions of linux Open Source will receive the digital signature required to interact with UEFI and load their OS on the new PC, or they will develop a workaround solution.  My suggestion for anyone considering buying a new PC that intends to install linux, immediately after that purchase should consider carefully what is not possible.  Right now I still can't do and I'm stuck now with Windows8.  If I had to do it again, I will not buy a new PC, but rather just go online and buy something.  After this experience I discovered used PCs with fast processors and a lot of memory can be purchased for $100 or less (craigs list), and because they are pre-UEFI, they will be easily load linux.

  • Desktop computer do not start; black screen; keyboard does not.

    Ok.  I turned on my desktop computer tonight and all I get is a black screen.  Keyboard does not work either.  Has gone through all the troubleshooting suggestions that I could find online (using my laptop), but nothing works.  I think maybe an automatic update Windows could be the problem.  You have any tips for me on what to try next?

    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.

  • Problems to reformat my Dell XPS 710 desktop computer.

    I have a Dell XPS 710 desktop computer and I'm trying to reformat my computer. I tried pressing F8 at startup and do a repair, and I get an error Unmountable_boot. If I start the computer and press F12, the hard drive does not work with my drive. Is there another way possible I can reformat my computer? I'm running Vista on this machine.

    Hello

    1 - is the computer come pre-installed with the Windows Vista operating system?

    2. do you have a re-setup for the Windows Vista operating system disk?

    3. do you have external hard drives connected to the computer?

    Method 1:

    The error indicates that the hard drive has failed. I suggest you to remove or top-sheet all external hard drives except the one in which the operating system is installed and check if the problem persists.

    Method 2:

    If you have the Windows installation disc, I suggest to fix the computer using the disk and check if it works.

    Method 3:

    If the computer came pre-installed with the Windows operating system, see the link to contact Dell support.

    I also suggest you check with Dell if they have any hard drive diagnostic tool that could help the issue.

    Let us know if it helps.
