Screen at the start of black Lenovo A540

My; Lenovo A540 remained on during the night and when I went in to wake up today there is just a black screen, no cursor or anything like that. I let it sit for a while to see if anything was just locked up, but he never returned to the top. I finally stop and now I just get the same black screen as I did before. I tried to unplug it from the back of the computer and the wall, and I stopped several times and tried to restart but nothing. I did my due diligence on Google but none of the typical buttons (F2, F8, F11, etc.) anything. I just get the black screen. It is not even giving me the Lenovo logo which appear rotation points. I don't have something new recently installed, or have it improved. I removed all devices and tried rebooting without success. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get this desktop computer up? I have no CD of restoration, but I don't know that those help even at this stage aynway. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Curiously, I let it sit for a few hours and it works immediately. I had several problems of this kind with the Lenovo 2 I've owned. This is a replacement, because one was doing something similar. It should start to where I got the giant Lenovo on the screen, but the points of rotation would never appear. I'm willing to bet money that my next computer will not be an another Lenovo.

  • HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen

    I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.

    When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.

    I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?

    It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

    You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.

    The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.

    To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/

    Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.

    To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
    -------------------------------------

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

    You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

    Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck

  • X 200 with ssd OCZ blue screens at the start of the docking station

    The 200 x blue screens when the startup of the docking station. If I take the laptop to the docking station to start and then once booted dock the laptop is fine.

    The issue started happening when you I upgraded the laptop form a SSD OCZ vertex 2 drive from xp to windows 7 and installed.

    I tried to update the firmware on the ssd using this utility

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-69806

    The program showed that my ssd was running firmware version 1.29 and that he did not need to be updated.

    I also tried to update the x 200 to the latest version of the BIOS. Nothing seems to work.

    Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Windows 7 changes the resolution of the screen at the start of what I had saved

    I recently bought a new monitor, which is a 22 AOC. I installed the drivers so that the computer detects hardware. Then I go to the screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080, that says that Windows is recommended. I then choose to preserve settings, then press OK.

    When I then restart the computer, the resolution changes right after the login screen to the old 1 of 1440 x 900 (which is the resolution of the screen of the old monitor).

    I tried researching this problem, but nobody seems to have exactly the same problem as me. Help! :)

    This problem also occurs when the monitor is turned off and turned back on again (I have my pc set to automatically turn off the monitor after 20 minutes).

    I had this problem since upgrading to windows 7 and it is very frustrating when you have to re - align icons and others whenever you turn on the monitor / PC back on.
    Fortunately, I found the solution after a few dedicated google searches, but this method requires you to modify your registry so please be very careful.
    Step #1: 
    Open your Start menu and in the search bar type in regedit and press to enter. UAC will pop up asking if you want to allow this program to make changes to the computer, simply press Yes.
    Step #2:
    In the left pane of regedit , you will see a list of registry keys;
    -Click on the small white arrow next to expand this key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG .
    -Develop System > CurrentControlSet > control > VIDEO

    Step #3:
    Now you should see one or more keys with random numbers and letters, for example my video key is {F92BFB9B-59E9-4B65-8AA3-D004C26BA193}.
    If you develop these keys, you will see another key in each of these named 0000

    Just click on these keys to 0000 to see their values, you are looking for one that has multiple values, for example Attach.RelativeX, Attach.RelativeY, etc.
    The appropriate key 0000 should also have a child key (which is the registry of your monitor settings, yay!) and mine is named Mon12345678 but yours may be different.

    Step #4:
    Now for the changes of the registry, 0000 and the keys Mon12345678 with the same parameters and values, I changed the two of them are identical. I'm not entirely sure of what a windows 7 uses, but it does not hurt to change both just to be sure.
    In order to change a registry key values;
    -Right click on the value name and select Edit...
    - where it says Base of select the decimal option
    -Enter the new numeric value, you want to enter in the data value: text field
    The parameters to change are;
    Attach.RelativeX - it's your screen X resolution, mine is set to 1360
    Attach.RelativeY - it's your screen resolution is, mine is set to 768
    DefaultSettings.XResolution -it's your screen resolution by default of X, mine is set to 1360
    DefaultSettings.YResolution -it's your default screen resolution, mine is set to 768
    Step #5:
    You're done! Click on file > output and your registry settings will be saved automatically.
    * Restart the system notes * A may be required before these settings take effect.


    Hope this helps everyone who has faced this problem!

  • Is it possible to change the screen on the start screen opens?

    I have a display dual display. I have #1 monitor set as my primary monitor only things as applications will launch on its default screen. Windows 8 at the opening of the splash screen, I prefer the start screen not to obscure everything I did on the primary monitor. (for example, to watch a movie) I prefer the start screen to open on the second monitor. Is this possible? I got tired of things like changing the monitor #2 to be primary, but the splash screen was again launching on monitor #1. If it can't be done through the registry or any other method, I guess I'll have to try rewiring all my screens. However, it would be only a temporary solution to stop that brings me to my follow-up question.

    I intend in the future to get a screen touch little 7pouces that I connect to my computer such as one-third of the screen and I would have 8 launch windows startup screen and stay on this screen all the time and all the apps I launch from windows 8 start screen to show on the main screen of my #1.

    Or the other of the above can be done?

    in the lower left corner of two monitors, if you move your mouse, you will have the option to open the splash screen. All this on the monitor you want to it load on and it will stay on the screen until you decide to change

  • Blue screen at the start of WinSrv2008r2 recovered from the backup of windows virtual machine image

    Hello

    At first, everything seems fine:

    -to create the new virtual machine

    -startup disc for instalation of Windows Server 2008 on this VM

    -Select "Repair system" and point the backup image file (full backup - made with standard Windows backup tool)

    -system recovered successfully.

    But then, when the system restart recovered fresh - start start Windows normally - and suddenly it is blue screen with the error 0x0000007b

    IMHO, this first initiated boot of the recovered system trying to twist something in the special part of the disc and he cannot (because it's a virtual disk?)

    Is it possible to recover the system windows image file system server to virtual classic?

    Thanks in advance for all voice :-)

    Greetings,

    RA

    Welcome to the community,

    the error message is related to the controller to start the virtual machine, which is different from the original system, and its drivers are not loaded in Windows. What you try, it is to use the free VMware Converter and run the option "Set up the Machine", which should inject the necessary drivers in the virtual machine. Before doing this, please make sure that the Windows 2008 virtual machine has the default "LSI Logic SAS' controller configured in its settings.

  • Poster off-screen at the start of Firefox

    Hello. I'm having a problem with Firefox 8. I've updated just now. At first, everything seemed fine, but only today, when I opened Firefox to browse the Internet, never, it seems, although I heard him running. The window itself disappears whenever I tried to access Firefox, despite always on display in the preview window. In addition, whenever I clicked to open firefox, several windows appear to have opened to the start page of Mozilla. Despite this, none of them will appear on the desktop when enlarged. I tried to access Firefox via the Manager tasks, restart my computer several times, had tried to get Firefox in safe mode and even re-installed and uninstalled Firefox itself three separate times. I also tried to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Ctrl-Alt-space-M and these corrections that I met to try to resolve this problem, of which none has solved this problem Firefox is the main browser I use. It's frustrating for me that I can't access the browser. It seems to work, else the fact that I can't see what I'm trying to access something other than a miniature preview displayed when I hover over the icon on the desktop. Is anyone else having a similar problem, or is that what I'm doing wrong?

    I ran the antivirus scans on my computer, which is only a few months old and this doesn't seem to be a hardware problem. If anyone has any advice, solutions, or just the same problm, entry would be well appreciateed. I'm close to the end of my tether if it continues to be. I thank very you much for any help you may offer. I would be extremely grateful that I can't access my information for troubleshooting this issue due to the above question. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Edit: Starting from 27/11/11, I tried also back to previous versions of this browser to see if that fixed this issue, all to nothing does not. I've uninstalled and reinstalled this browser several times, always with no end to the problem in sight. I decided to leave Firefox uninstalled for now, out of pure frustration with this issue. I really love Firefox, but it is of no use to me if I can't access the content I am trying to see. I hope this problem is solved in the future, because to switch browsers threw me for a bit of a loop. Thanks again for your time and consideration in this matter.

    Use Restore or expand in the context menu of the icon in the taskbar to set the focus to the Firefox application if you do not see it.

    Open the system menu via Alt + space and see if you can resize the window.
    If it works then close Firefox (file > exit/Quit) to save the setting.

    See also:

    If the above didn't help then see:

    It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and files possible sessionstore-# .js [3] with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

    I can understand the use of the new Welcome screen in the last update, but it takes 12 seconds to load each time.

    I do not have to wait long to do this, so, how might I turn it off?

    First, you must be a member of creative cloud paid to turn it off.

    Wait for it to load.  After it is loaded, click the news or implementation tab if you're not already there.  Scroll down so that you see the footer.  (Note that the Mac can make it not obvious that you can scroll to the bottom).  You should see a checkbox titled 'don't show welcome screen Again.  Check it, and then close the dialog box.

    Note You can bring it back once again my by selecting the element 'Welcome. '... "in the Help menu.

  • prohibitive gray screen, but the start of the option works

    I have a strange here.

    Early 2011 MBP - OSX 10.10.5.

    Everything was fine with the computer, and then all of a sudden the small wheel of death... computer slows down to a stop and then screen black.

    At startup - gray screen, blinking prohibitory sign several times and then begins to my second hard drive installed (I replaced the optical drive with a 2nd hard drive just in case something like that happens... more... that uses optical discs still!).

    I checked the "Startup disk" options in the preferences, then re-selected my SSD as my default player.

    Restart in safe mode... works as expected on the SSD.  Check disk utility, verify and repair permissions, checked the disk and, say, "could not mount the drive" (perhaps something to do with safe mode?).

    Restart again normally - prohibitive flashes and then after a few seconds, it starts as normal.  I checked the disk utility again, checked and repaired permissions, disk verified and no problem with the disk on THE.

    Stop and try again... lightning prohibitive and then after a few seconds, it starts as normal.  I have reset the SMC and the NVRAM.

    Not sure why I get this prohibitive symbol!

    I have restart holding 'option', all disks appear (SSD, HDD, recovery), so I click on SSD and it opens fine.

    Tips for how to start normally (without the prohibitive sign)?

    Thank you

  • Windows 8 does not not to the Welcome screen and the start option advanced

    I met a very strange situation.

    1. I first put my system into hibernation and walked away for a while. Then when I tried to turn on the system, it freezes at the Welcome screen. I tried the strok key (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) but nothing happened. I noticed that the ' FN ' on my laptop works very well! I could turn on and turn off the Wifi with them. But the system has not responded to all other keys and my touch pad.

    2. I tried waiting for the system to respond for a long time. When I noticed that the little light on my laptop showing the status of the HDD stopped flashing, I thought that the system could already went wrong so I hard reboot the system.

    3 then, strange thing that happened:

    (1) first is the logo of my BIOS flashed on the screen and disappeared, which has never happened before.

    (2) then the system told me that he prepares the update. But I remember turning off the automatic update and I had not installed update before the system went wrong. Although I remembered that there is a warning to the login screen that there is some new important updates and I should install them.

    (3) the system is restarted automatically when the increase is 30%. After this reboot, the system maintains hang at as before welcome screen.

    4. I've tried several things and hard reset for many times but nothing has changed.

    (1) I tried to disable the quick start to the BIOS.

    (2) I've tried allowing CSM (disable UEFI in legacy mode)

    (3) I tried to press F9 to start and got into the advanced boot options screen. However, all there hang two! My keyboard and mouse are both inadmissible.

    (4) disconnect all connected to my laptop.

    Then I'm lost. I can't repair or restore my system. I think that my keyboard works fine because I can change the BIOS setting to use. Now, I'm at my wits end with. Can anyone suggest anything?

    Update:

    Turned history that I tried to plug my USB mouse to the laptop. It worked, and when I connect my USB keyboard that works too! But minutes after I logged on successfully to Windows, I got the WORKER_INVALID and restart the system.

    I found this post which has almost exactly the same problem with me (I use an ASUS laptop too!). So I uninstalled my driver warned of the gesture, and then the system has not crashed over.

    But my problem has not been resolved. I downloaded and installed the latest driver of ASUS and always found my touch pad and the keyboard does not. I also realize that even in a different operating system on my system (LinuxMint), my touchpad and keyboard will not work.

    To summarize:

    Now I can use an external device (USB keyboard and mouse). But the built in keyboard and touch pad does not work. The latest driver for ASUS (ASUS Smart gesture) and ASUS ATK Package driver does not work. Strange thing is that when I open the computer, can I use my keyboard and even type in the Linux grub shell. But once the system got loaded, both in Windows and LinuxMint, the keyboard and the touchpad don't work.

    Now, I suspect my BIOS went wrong, but I do not know and do not dare update the BIOS so recklessly. Any ideas?

    Hello

    Thank you for the update on the question and good to hear that your problem is solved and everything works well after the replacement of the motherboard from ASUS. This information will help other members of the community to the same question.
