Starting from M8300F problems

My old Hp M8300F of 2 years just started having problems about 4 months ago, and after the live chats with HP and Microsoft, Hp Tech recommended upgrading to Windows 7, after that many here to install that I started having problems starting, freeze problems and have spent weeks on this system try to get backup!  Power, restore the system with HP discs, etc. It seems I'm having the same problems that a crowd of others with same age machines.  Curved on the motherboard capacitors!   HP has left us all hooked on this issue and should be responsible for their defective mothers!   Someone else had a bit of luck with that?  I'm stuck with the 100.00 I paid for the upgrade of Windows 7 and 2 months of mourning with a 2 year old PC that is not work reliably!  I have nothing else but HP had for many years and have never had any problems like this before!

Hello

Do you have the capacitors curved on the motherboard in your PC?

  • Cannot start from the CD in my Satellite P300-23F

    Hello

    I'm trying to fix the old laptop from my brother. It's a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop did not work well, so he bought another. I think he might have a problem with the HARD drive, but I'm not sure about this and want to try to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    When I start from the disc HARD I have no problem, insiders of OS normally, and I can 'use' laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get this message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I have instaled the operating system with this CD on another computer. I know that the CD player (not sure if it is called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) also works very well, because I tried different CD and it worked.

    I've tried pressing F12 and boot from CD it and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD in the first place, but it does not work.

    No idea what's going on? Is it possible to make it work?

    Stand by.
    When Windows is completely loaded, you can use the optical disk drive and it reads all CDs and DVDs?
    When you put your Windows Windows installation disc can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

    Maybe you can use the CD but not DVD. check it out please.

  • My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

    Details of the machine: -.

    Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
    Serial number: XE343127P

    Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

    Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

    I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

    System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

    The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

    1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

    Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

    Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

    I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

    See you soon,.

    Andrew.

    Hello

    From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
    HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

    What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

    Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

  • Satellite M40 - starting after hibernation problems

    Hello
    I have a following problem, I used two OS linux and win xp, but one day, I decided to delete the linux partition, and there is the problem.
    I was using the LILO Boot Manager to switch between operating systems. After you delete the Linux partition, I run Win XP and selected Hibernate.

    Then the system is not successfully restore (probably a problem with the MBR after you have deleted the linux partition) and show that the screen full of strange characters.
    'C', "f12", changing the settings of the bios does not help because win xp hibernation somehow has a higher priority.
    For I can start from everything even to original Toshiba Recovery CD, because HDD ist first start eitherway.
    I had earlier experencied that when I put in hibernation Windows, the boot parameters changed in the BIOS where used first after I close Windows normally down.

    What can I do? Does anyone have an idea?
    Can I somehow my laptop out of hibernation while turning on the power?

    Thank you for your advice in advance
    Rafael.

    Hello Rafael

    Of course, you're very impatient. Joke!

    In my opinion, there is a problem with the MBR. If you start the device information stored in the MBR should give first info where is all the work saved on HARD drive (in hibernation mode).

    I n t have concrete solution, but if you don t want to use Linux, you should back up all your important data and reinstall the operating system using the recovery image. After that the unit will be clean preinstalled and everything will be perfect.

    Good bye

  • HD will not start from host organization but will be of a different MBP

    ((Two Mbit/s: 1) mid 2010 i5 model 1) Middle model i7 2011.

    From here, I will call them as "i5 and i7.

    The i7 was having starting problems. The taskbar would charge about 2/3 of the way in which it would "hang up" then the screen turns off. Unsuccessfully trying to boot in safe mode. Verbose mode would freeze as well. Tried the single user mode and run ' fsck - fy "and it made no difference. No idea how fix permissions with the utility El Capitan disk but I'm not sure it would make a difference. Doesn't it?

    I then did a backup/clone of the i7 to a new external storage disk. All programs and files are successfully transferred.

    Then I wiped the i7 with a clear three-pass and reinstalled OSX.

    Error #1) I have not test to see if the hd now Virgin began its host computer before you restore the old files.

    Error #2) I put the clone on the i7 copy using Super Duper.

    When installing the i7 to its host computer, it wouldn't boot in any mode just as before.

    * Comment: The i7 will start the i5 laptop when connected via USB in system preferences > startup disk.

    I am currently using the i7 connected to the external i5 as I type this.

    Disk utility has been run on the i7 at this point by indicating zero problems.

    Onyx has been run through all the options and check marks with no problems.

    Always the i7 will not start its host computer.

    I am very confused.

    Issues related to the:

    (1) why/how this phenomenon occur?

    (2) in making the i7 clone for external storage, if there was a hidden virus or something on the i7 origin, is the now compromised storage device?

    I read it twice and I'm still a little confused.

    When you cloned the i7, you do it from the other computer?

    I get the i7 disc starts from the i7 computer when it is connected to the outside. Is this correct?

    If the player starts in an external of the i7 box, but not in the computer the case most likely is the SATA cable to the hard drive.

    Try to replace.

    I came across a similar problem on my Dell machine. I was able to work around the problem by going into the BIOS options and disable the boot from USB mass storage devices. Machine starts without a problem now.

  • Scan a multi-page document starting from the plateau of HP Officejet Pro 8600?

    Before Windows/7, which I use in 64-bit mode, we had Solution Center HP, which has supported the scanning multipage documents starting from the tray (e.g., scanning several pages of a document linked (for example, a book)) in a single PDF multipage doc.  HPSC has apparently been replaced by HP Scan, et al.  I have a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600, and there seems to be NO WAY to SCAN SEVERAL PAGES OF A BOOK IN A SINGLE PDF DOCUMENT of several PAGES.  Help me to solve this problem or give me HP Solution Center.

  • Cannot start from 2nd default player

    My problem: can not start from second default drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 1451NR, product NV204UA #ABA number.

    I have two drives installed.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit is installed on disk 0 and Ubuntu 32-bit installed on disk 1.

    I can boot both operating systems successfully by following these steps:

    1. Turning the power on

    2. Press the ESC key for BIOS

    3. Press F9-go to the start menu

    4. Menu of startup watch two disks named "internal hard drive.

    5. If I select the first entry named "Internal hard drive" I start to Windows 7.

    6. If I choose the 2nd entry named "Internal hard drive" I boot to Ubuntu.

    I turn on if I do NOT press escape, the machine boots to Windows after the timeout.

    My problem: I want to start on default Ubuntu.

    I checked the HP bios and I do not think there is a way to do it by changing the boot priority in the BIOS. The BIOS does not seem to tell the difference between the two drives. I have only has an entry for "internal hard drive.

    In my view, is an approach that should work:

    1. Use bcdedit or easybcd to create a BCD record that points to GRUB.

    2. Create a configuration file GRUB that 'the chain' charges Ubuntu.

    3. Use bcdedit to put the GRUB entry as the default value.

    I tried various permutations but cannot make it work.

    Question: Should my idea work?

    Detailed question: How to find out where the original boot image is for GRUB? I know I need the copy of sector 0 of the drive and the partition Ubuntu and GRUB on. Since Ubuntu I tried permutations of ' dd if of=/NST/grubsdXX.bin = / dev/sdxx bs = 512 count = 1 "to generate the boot image. Not worked.

    Detailed question: What exactly should the BCD record look like? What commands are used to create it. I tried various permutations of

    ' bcdedit / create /d "GRUB" / application of the BOOT sector.

    bcdedit/set {60e1c218-a9b3-11e0-89b8-00235abb6d44} device partition = C:

    bcdedit/set {60e1c218-a9b3-11e0-89b8-00235abb6d44} path \nst\grubsdXX.bin

    bcdedit displayorder {60e1c218-a9b3-11e0-89b8-00235abb6d44} /addlast»

    I think I'm close, but can't make it work. My guess is I do not get the image of the right sector 0 in grubsdXX.bin or I am not the "partition" or the path correctly, or maybe I need to install GRUB on disk 0.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Refinement: I discovered how to avoid having to change the menu item, whenever you update the Ubuntu kernel. When it is updated Ubuntu creates a link in the root of the root partition that points to the latest kernel and one that points the last initrd. So if you replace the reference to a specific core (example: boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-48-gereic-pae) and initrd (example: boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-48-generic-pae) with "/ vmlinuz" and "/ initrd.img. Your menu will always be able to start the last installed Ubuntu.

  • WMP freezes, playback and time counter freeze and after a few seconds it will start from the point where it stopped.

    Original title: WMP 11 continues to stop audio playback

    I use WMP 11 for months with no reading problems but since yesterday evening he continues to stop for about 20 seconds every five minutes or so. When she did this, WMP freezes - meter reading and time to gel and I get the hourglass - and then after 20 seconds or more, the trail starts from where it stops. What is happening on all the tracks I did not play a single. I tried 20 audio files (mp3 all) through a dozen different albums. In addition, the gap between tracks seem longer than usual. I feel that it is looking for the data and playback stops because the time it takes to find the data is longer than the amount of data he has for playback? Either way, my files are stored on an external drive, and I'm now ask to update WMP for 'monitor folders' once again.

    I also downloaded a new copy of WMP 11 but this has not fixed the problem.

    I ran Fix It from Microsoft, but it has not to report any issue so I'm stumped. Any help appreciated thanks.

    Laptop Dell Inspiron 1300

    Thank you, Anoop - I notice that it is 7 - t - it too much work for XP? I'll take a look, although I found closure and restart toured (as far as the burning problem goes). Thanks for your help.

  • When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?

    When you install a new application, is it necessary to start from a clean boot to ensure that no application works?  Somewhere, a long time ago, we advised me to always be in a boot environment when installing new applications and have always respected this notice since.  However, I recently learned that is not necessary and may even be counterproductive because some Microsoft Services are needed for new facilities.  My goal is to have no corrupted installations to avoid future problems, but I have nothing seems to give me resistance gremlin 100% and I still have my share of challenges.   Almost all applications that I install contains the warning to make sure that no application works before installing.  Can anyone tell me with authority the best way to ensure that new installations of new applications please?  In addition, the same orientation for Win XP Pro to do with Win 7 Home Premium please?  Thank you.

    YW. Yes, I think an important thing to take away is to realize that it is better to only install the necessary Windows updates 'priority '. There is one exception, apparently. Recently, an MVP made me notice that updates to certificate root (which although considered "Optional" are virtually useful updates to security for IE) must be installed as well.

    But others are optional and since then, they can be VERY problematic (especially updates of pilot and the dreaded Windows Search 4.0), you really should stay away from them!

    Happy to help to explain things. Good luck!

    Hello.

    I have a little problem - I am installing Windows7 on my T61 (currently it is running Ubuntu) and I can't boot from the installation DVD.

    I changed the boot order and it will boot very happily on a CD - I tried to use the utility to update firmware of drive that comes as an ISO CD - motorcycle boots very happily and says my firmwqare to date.

    No chance with a (real) WIn7 install (32-bit) DVD, but - it debits for a while, then finally gave up on the MultiDrive and ends up booting from the HARD drive.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    Looks like a damaged disk, or a bad drive. Try the drive in another computer and if possible, try replacing it with another drive on this computer.

    If she starts on a CDrom, it starts from a DVDrom, as long as the drive and the drive are good.
