Satellite M40 does not load before the BIOS screen

When I turn on my Satellite M40 unfortunately it does not happened on 7/8ths blue bar going across the screen.

That left me completely baffled as what to do.

Apparently, it could be repaired by removing the cables on my CMOS battery?

If someone knows how I would go all this? or have any other ideas?

Thank you xx

Hi Dec,

Blue scroll bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is loaded from the hard drive. If this process hangs while loading, then it is likely that the hard drive itself is defetive or else the files that are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.

Interfere with the CMOS chip will not fix this problem because the BIOS has already been loaded at this point.

If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you boot from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you can try reinstalling your operating system of the Toshiba recovery CD but it won't replace your own data on your hard drive.

  • Does not load before the Welcome screen

    I get to the sign in screen on vista and I put my password and sign in however it will not load past the loading screen.

    Hello

    What would you say if try you it in safe mode? It will allow you to open a session?

    To access safe mode, press F8 just after the screen logo POST or original system manufacturer and before Windows starts to load. This should give you a boot menu where you can select.

    If you are able to log on successfully in safe mode, you can start the troubleshooting steps described here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If you are not able to connect to any account in safe mode, including the default administrator, please post back with some information about how and when this problem started.

    Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

  • Premiere Pro does not load before the splash screen and the PC unresponsive during loading.

    Hello

    Specifications of the PC:

    NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti

    Processor with Six cores AMD FX-6300

    8.1 Windows Pro 64-bit

    My CC Pro first used to work perfectly fine, until recently.

    I use this program called nvidia Shadoplay to record my office, but on Saturday, January 16th, I noticed that it wasn't working for some strange reason. I tried to load the GeForce experience, which is a bit like a control panel for nvidia graphics cards, but I kept getting a weird error whenever I tried to open it. He said that I had no GeForce installed, so I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I had it working again.

    After that I got this problem resolved, I tried to start Premiere Pro. As soon as I tried to run the program, my entire computer became unresponsive. If I tried to click on something else, it would take up to 1 minute for my computer save the click. The screen Splash Pro first jump upward, but it loads through all the dll and prm files much slower. When it happened first, I tried Ctrl Alt Del my way out of it, but my computer would take 5 minutes to sign up the Task Manager. When I try to end the task, nothing would happen. The only way out he had to manually restart my computer by pressing the power button.

    I tried to look for solutions. I tried to move some files Premiere Pro took longer to load on the desktop, like the ExporterQuickTimeHost, EA SequenceRenderer and ExporterAVI files, but loading still takes a lot of time and my computer no longer met. Then I let it load completely, and it took about 30 minutes before I got and error like this:

    The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d)


    I don't remember the exact error. Then I upgraded my Premiere Pro CC 2014 to 2015 version and I had similar problems. Premiere Pro would always take forever to load, but my PC was a bit more responsive.

    I tried to run Avast and MalwareBytes, but they do not have the virus collection.


    I'd appreciate any help as I could about the problem, so I could get back to the Assembly as soon as possible.

  • My computer does not load past the Bios Dell screen

    Vista 32 bit Home Premium on Vostro 200
    Hey, my name is Christian and this is my problem:

    It all started last night when I (stupidly) decided I should change my screen windows open, you know, black screen, where the green bar would float through from left to right while the computer responsible. I decided to change to a sort of landscape of Lake, but this is not the point.
    Before that, I chose at the next restart, the registry would be defragged and there would be controls memory.
    I am so down and restart the computer.
    Computer turns on and I the landscape to the instead, loading screen unless it's just a picture, so there is not move bar telling me whether or not the computer was loading.
    And the screen just wouldn't change. I assumed that defragments the registry and memory check took place, but I was rather paranoid about whether or not something is going on I turned manually the computer off hold the button down.
    I turned it back again and he went to the same - screen landscape and would not pass as usual. Paranoia took ahold of me and I turned it off once again. I did it a couple of times (and I apologize) until a system repair came automatically.
    I thought it was my way out of this problem, but it didn't really fix anything, and the screen landscape had changed now in a black screen which seems to have a background image screen to vista aurora discoloration in the Center.
    And it's right now. It does not seem to go beyond that and I think now that it was all due to the change in the loading screens.

    I even left on overnight assuming the scans took place and it would be frozen until the tests were performed.
    Nothing has changed.

    I tried the obvious; safe mode does not work exactly. I click on it and all I get is the names of the drivers being loaded then a very slow black line through every driver leading one by one.

    Unfortunately, I deleted the backups of my restore system checks an hour before this happened and I did a lot of memory by pressing F8 and choose the option.

    I'd even do a factory reset as long as I've had all my files and drivers on a hard drive.

    I don't know what to do, I am completely distraught. Any advice would be helpful and thanks in advance!
    (a factory reset would be VERY VERY last resort)

  • Satellite L350 - does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I recently (yesterday) downloaded the latest version of bios update dated dated 25/02/10 2: 20 - WIN, after download and does run the software from the laptop immediately stopped working and stop. I am now no longer able to boot up the laptop at all, all I get is the power light on and the hard disk light flashes, I hear the spinning CD/DVD drive, but what is not screen anything, I don't think this is the start.

    Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a store/engineer, BIOS recovery?

    The laptop is a Satellite L350, I opened the laptop to try to reset the CMOS by removing the card mother battery (not sure if it would have helped), but as much as I know it doesn't have an or I'm not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Andy

    Hi Andy,.

    Hmm... If the BIOS update failed, you can't do anything because only an authorized service provider has professional diagnostic and recovery tools to redo an update.

    So in my opinion, you must contact a service provider authorized in your country. Get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They will tell you what to do now.

    Here is their list:

  • Satellite L30 does not start after the BIOS update

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

    At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

    _________________________
    Genuine Intel CPU
    No TPM or TPM has problem
    1015 M system RAM passed

    Press to enter in SETUP
    _________________________

    Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

    The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

    I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

    Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

    Hello

    Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
    As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
    If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

    Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

    The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
    You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

    > Is it possible to fix this without sending
    Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A300 will not get before the start screen

    Hi all

    had a problem with a laptop A300 about 2 to 2.5 years old. I just installed windows 7 prof and it worked fine for about 3 days and then all of a sudden it blocked start.

    He gets to the toshiba start screen and then reboots. He doesn't even try to start windows. You can go into the bios and make changes, etc., you can not press f8 to load in safe mode, only it does not even come to that.
    You can press f12 and raise the start menu and try to boot from the CD but this new fact not work and it just restarts again

    I don't know how else to troubleshoot it. I don't think it's a motherboard problem can you enter the bios.
    It could be a HARD drive problem, but then I thought it would have gave you a warning message of any (no available boot device) and you can see the HARD drive in the bios and would have thought that it would have started at least on a CD.

    The only things I can think about are drive problem HARD for the problem RAM or motherboard problem.
    I think install win 7 to 3 days there is just a huge coincidence?

    Any help would be great. Thank you

    Hi hitenkacha,

    Hmm... Which is really strange, if the laptop restarts after the Toshiba start screen but it doesn t happen if you go into the BIOS or boot menu...
    So, if you go into the BIOS and wait a few minutes, he doesn t restart?

    Yet one thing would be interesting to know: what happens if you try to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba? Generally, it should still possible to boot from this drive if it s ok.

  • NB200 does not start after the bios - screen black screen with blinking cursor

    Hello

    I was using the laptop as usual when I think there may have been a virus activity - reason I say that is that my anti-virus closed unexpectedly. I couldn't restart programs files.

    I restarted the laptop.

    After the bios menu will I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor - windows does not start.

    I did the following:
    (1) create a USB bootable with Recovery Console window XP - boot with this i can see three drives C:, D: as SDA? I can see the content of these disks, so it seems that my HD works. I ran a fixmbr and fixboot, but this has not solved the problem.
    (2) create a Kaspersky bootable USB virus scan - ran it without problem - he found a few question (not on the disk boot sector) I've fixed.

    An option was to copy files from the laptop and then start it in recovery mode - so Itried to run the phone into recovery mode hold down the 0 key at startup - the bottom of the screen then displays * HDD Recovery mode * and nothing happens.

    Any help - other options would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1 year of that guarantee has expired a few months back so can't send in for repair.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I doubt that it is a virus.
    Seems the file system is damaged on the HARD drive and this is the reason why the laptop does not start until it could also be a partition of HARD disk malfunction.

    Try this; Turn on the unit, press F8, and then check if you have the laptop repair.
    If this is not possible, then you will need to reinstall new OS.

    Here you can order a recovery disc:

    Of course you will need an external USB CD/DVD drive
