Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
Thank you
I have.

Hello

I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

After that, the system must run again...

Welcome them

  • Windows does not. maintains a loop of black screens with different options. Cannot get Windows to load.

    Recently, the pc started having problems with the internet. I have wireless internet set up, and AOL installed on the computer. A few months ago I started having difficulty opening Web sites. I could access my AOL email, but if I tried to go to a Web site, the page would not, it would be just stuck, the same thing would happen if I tried to access Web sites using Internet Explorer. But the computer itself (Word, etc.) was working again fine. Note that since my laptop, internet works fine.

    then the other day, I turned on the computer and Windows will not load, it keeps looping of the start screen of Windows to a black screen with an option to press F2 to just recovery, then passes to the other black screen with 2 options - F5 to start something and another option, don't remember now. He kept going just these screens again and again.

  • Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    My laptop Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top. The laptop itself is working fine, but I can't use it as the battery is discharged. I checked the cable ca and it seems ok. The laptop has a fuse internal which I need to check? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand you correctly you cannot use laptop with AC power only. Am I right about that?
    Switching between the block of AC power or the battery, do the power of electronic cards and there is not a switch so that you can check.

    When you connect your laptop to the power Jack is the power LED ON?

  • Scanner EPSON Perfection V200 Photo: PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer.

    The PDF button does not work since I use the scanner with an ASUS i5 running Win 7 Ultimate desktop computer. I downloaded the 64-bit Epson software for the scanner.

    I found the solution to the problem, and it is indeed with the revised in Windows 7 Control Panel.

    Here how to solve the problem:
    Go to the control panel in Windows 7.
    Search scanner in the upper search box to the right
    You will see a "view scanners and cameras".
    Click it, you will see the Epson Perfection V200. Highlight.
    Click Properties, then Yes, then events.
    Where it says select an event, you MUST choose the event suitable for each option.
    To the Start button, choose Start the series of creativity
    For the copy button Choose launch Epson Scan
    E-mail button also Epson scan
    PDF includes Epson scan
    There you go.
    Now, all this was not necessary before, there are no instructions, and the fault lies with MS. how much more confused MS will do the control panel?

  • Satellite A350 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A350 (about a year and a half) who does not start correctly. This has happened after that the laptop was left on until the battery has failed. The button of the keyboard and the power LED lights up, but the screen stays black when I try to turn it on. I use Windows Vista.

    The machine continues usually to make a sound whirring for a few seconds before it stops making noise (the fan and the HD). The screen flickers sometimes a lighter black on a screen for less than a second. In addition, the cooling fan has sometimes continued to operate after you stop all the rest.

    Another problem is that when if it is turn on and go to the Toshiba screen, odd lines will fade to the screen, and finally the screen eventually white/blue. On the other hand, sometimes it turn on and act as if nothing had happened. In these times, placing sleep mode will be to not be a wheat to turn back on.

    I tried removing the battery, using only the battery, fully charge the battery and using the laptop with barely any load from the battery and it doesn't change anything.

    I would really appreciate any kind of lead as to what may be wrong with the poor.

    Hello

    Generally speaking, it is always difficult to say something on these sometimes mistakes because it s not clear and can be caused by all parties, but at the moment I doubt that this problem is software partner

    You see something on a screen when the internal screen stays black?

    In the worst case, it s that a hardware malfunction and that would mean you need help from an ASP to check what part is affected, but if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.

  • Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
    I can boot into safe mode.
    Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

    Any ideas what could cause this problem?
    Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

    any advice appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
    In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
    If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
    These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  • Satellite C650 does not start - error PXE - M0F

    Just bought a Satellite C650, get it home and my son decided to stop the whole upward as he ran.

    Now, we get the error below:

    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    We received no drives, nor a manual with adequate instructions and can't find anything on the web for help.
    Toshiba closes for the day.

    Hoping that this forum could give me an idea.

    Hello

    PXE error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
    Why it does not start from the HARD drive but LAN switches?
    I think the HARD drive is defect.
    Perhaps its also not recognized in BIOS.

    Switch on and press F2. This allows you to access the BIOS where you could check if the HARD drive is recognized. I guess it must be mentioned on the first page.
    If it s not there, then it means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    I assume that the warranty is still valid; Therefore, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country for replacement.

  • Satellite M30: Does not start XP

    My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

    The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found.

    I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
    Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
    "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
    I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

    I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
    X:\\ no disk fixed

    Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

    I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

    Your help is very appreciated!

    Suraj

    Hello

    The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

    If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

    I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

    Good luck!

  • Re: Satellite A200 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 on VISTA.
    The laptop does not start. I can get to the Toshiba splash screen, but don't go no more far just get the blocking of the laptop and the display one? symbol at the top right of the screen.

    I tried

    -Reset to the factory settings (no difference)
    -Starting with the battery and output (no difference)
    -Withdrawal of the memory modules and try different configurations (no difference)
    -Remove the hard drive (screen displays the details of Intel and say no HD media detected no screen Toshiba either)
    -Pressing the button to try to get in windows safe mode (can t happen).

    Title information, under settings, I see the hard drive and DVD player is connected is connected.

    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi mate

    It seems that you have already tried all possible solution proposals
    But what happens if you start the laptop using a bootable diskette. for example, recovery disk, disk Win XP, Linux live CD, etc?

    I knew it could be a HARD drive problem, even if the HARD drive is correctly detected by the BIOS
    Maybe a replacement HARD drive might help maybe.

    Otherwise, it could be a serious hardware problem I m thinking: motherboard

    What do you mean with 8 signals?
