problem starting then Startup Repair

OK, I had this problem a few weeks ago, sometimes to any day and time when I turn the computer the morning it does not start, I turn works a few times and it starts to work, then I freezes everything trying to start, restart and then comes an option where I have to use the Startup Repair tool, I use it and it suits him for awhile and then some other date and time it happened again and custody. Nobody knows what is happening?

This means that your power supply is failing and is a hardware, not software problem (Windows). You can troubleshoot the equipment yourself or take the machine to a local professional. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

  • Win 7 does not start, the Startup Repair says corrupt amdide64.sys

    I uninstalled my ATI Catalyst Control Center, which forced a restart.  The reboot takes me to the windows startup repair which fails to solve the problem.  The log shows that theamdide64.sys is corrupted.  The options don't help me.  For example, I have no recovery points on this computer, then that option does not work.

    There was a post on the forums who suggested using the win7 install disk and choosing the repair option, but who also wants a recovery point and will not work.

    What else can I try?

    Hello

    You probably won't be able to run the repair facility, since you can't boot into Windows at all.

    Since it's disk about the best way to back up your data, would be to put the hard drive
    in another computer as a 2nd drive (best method) or "possibly" in a USB external box (less
    likely to work in this case). Or the other may allow you to copy the data to a removable such as
    CD, DVD and other USB units. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of the system can help
    with data recovery. There are professional data recovery companies even if these services are
    generally expensive.

    There are bootable discs, such as those who use linux, which will start and you could save
    the data.

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  • Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

    Hello
    My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

    I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

    My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

    Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

    Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

    If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

    Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

    However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

    But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

    Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

    Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

    Hello

    ·         How have you tried to do system restore?

    I recommend you to restore system using a Windows Vista DVD.

    Here's how:

    To open the Options menu system recovery using a system repair disc or a Windows Vista installation disc

    If your system is damaged and cannot access the menu system on your computer Recovery Options, you can access it using the Windows Vista installation disc or a system repair disc previously.

    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.
    1 insert the disc.
    2. restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer.

    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    5. If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    6. Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

  • Windows Vista update will not install and causes cell phone restart. Laptop will not reboot and Startup Repair cannot fix the problem.

    Windows Update tried to install 4 days now. Every time he tries it tells me it failed and trying to install in manually. He said then the laptop restarts, but it does not start. Startup Repair tells me that it cannot solve the problems.
    I don't know how to go beyond this problem, can someone help me? I have no disk Vista as it came pre-installed on my laptop. Help, please!

    If your Vista is preinstalled, ANY support for your laptop is the manufacturer of the computer, not Microsoft.

    Try this:

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    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.

    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.

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

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

  • Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... and for the last ten hours!

    Apparently, during Windows updates last night, my laptop itself cut because it became overheated.  When I tried to turn it on this morning, it would not load my login screen, giving instead a screen empty and dark.  Now, he goes through the Startup Repair tool, where it says repairs to try with a blue bar moving, below which it says repair disk errors, it can take more than an hour to complete.  The problem is that he has done this for more than ten hours now with no sign of whether or not it works.  The screen shows exactly:

    Startup Repair is checknig your system for problems... If problems are found, Startup Repair will fix automatically.  Your computer may restart several times during this process.  No changes will happen to your personal files or information.  This may take several minutes.  Attempt to repair... Repair the disk errors.  It may take more than an hour to complete.

    Help, please! My laptop is only a year old and I backed up my files not recently (there are several important to me).  If he finishes by turn on normally? What is happening with it?

    Hi Ali,
     
    Do you remember the update (S) that caused the problem to occur?
    Remove all external devices (i, e printer, USB devices) and check.
     
    In the meantime, follow these steps and see if it resolves the problem.
     
    Step 1:
     
    If you have the Vista installation disc, I would suggest you start in the system recovery options and do a System Restore to the point that your computer was working normally.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Once your system is restored, manually install the Windows updates to determine which update caused the problem to occur.

  • Startup Repair offline, startup guard

    This has happened so many times, got my computer, bought separate parts (custom-made, over £1200) installed windows, everything has worked well until about a month. He projected blue and then my hard drive could not be found, kept saying (the disk name: No. NAME TYPE: NTFS) it is a 1 to WD hard drive. Finally it is fixed by raising constantly.

    Hello

    First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    As Windows automatically launches the Startup Repair tool there is a possibility that she cannot cross the whole scan problems.

    I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    1. Insert the installation disc.
    2. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    5. click on Repair your computer.
    6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
