Stuck on splash screen

Before that my computer has picked up in the start menu, it was crashing constantly. I would get a blue screen with different error messages. Now, my computer stopped working all together. It is stuck in Start menu and unresponsive. I can't start in safe mode. All I see on the screen is the gateway logo and startup options.

This all happened more than a day. Before that, it worked fine. I installed a new graphics about a month or two if it is relevant.
I am running Vista.
Thanks for any help.

  • PRE down and now stuck at splash screen - HELP!

    I was working on a small project (5 min) a couple of soundtracks and was going from one to the other location and crashed BEFORE - now when I open the program to the top of the start screen is blurry and I can't choose anything except the 8.01 update and stuff - HELP - project in 4 hours!

    Eric

    Based on a test drive, it's what I think got into the mix. I'm not sure of all the twists and turns, but maybe you can help me fit things together better once you read what follows:

    1. your first Elements 8.0.1 project.prel crashed.

    2. you reopened the first Elements 8.0.1 since the desktop icon which targeted the Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe which opens the Premiere Elements welcome screen (aka Splash Screen). The program is stuck on the Welcome screen. You say that you have completed the process using the task/process manager.

    3. you then went to Program Files/Adobe/Premiere Elements 8.0 and clicked on the file Adobe Premiere Elements.exe to open Premiere Elements. Using this .exe to open the first Elements allows to bypass the Welcome screen (less process involved in loading or opening). Until I tried this I thought not possible: you can open Premiere Elements 8.0.1 via Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe and bring it to the Welcome screen and then click Adobe Premiere Elements.exe in the Program Files folder and the program to open completely. If you find yourself with two instances of open Premiere Elements.

    4. If you tell me that you still have the original Premiere Elements stuck on the Welcome screen, so I let myself believe that you did not really close it with Task Manager/processes.

    5. return to the Task Manager/processes and search for more than one instance of «Adobe Premiere él...» "in the process list. Complete the process for both.

    6. then create a shortcut on the desktop of Adobe first Elements.exe and use instead of the original desktop icon which targets Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.exe which includes the opening Welcome screen.

  • x 305-q706 Stuck on splash screen where is says "Qosmio" with please wait...

    Hello

    recently purchased a Qosmio x 305-Q706. First time I booted up it gets to start with Qosmio screen displays with "please wait" down and hangs there forever. The only way I can get it to boot is to start cold and purée the key F12 for is loading from the startup screen, if I'm lucky, I can enter the option where you can choose which startup device, and if I manually chose the hard drive I can load windows.

    Someone at - he heard of this problem or how to fix it? I tried to change settings in the BIOS nothing. Re-iterate, it is stuck on the screen with Qosmio pslash, and if I press a key on the keyboard once it says "Please wait...". "he brings me just to the bios: (.)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    This is a very stupid situation and I really don't understand why the laptop hangs at this level to start.
    Is somehow your Qosmio confused and cannot decide which device should be the first boot device.
    What is some external device connected to your Qosmio laptop?

    Maybe update the BIOS can help, but if you have all new laptop is not the solution. This is more recent laptop, and I presume that there latest version of the BIOS. So, if I were you I would contact either your dealer and ask for replacement or Toshiba service directly. This behavior is certainly not strange and laptop crashes somehow on the BIOS/POST (Power-On-Self-Test).

  • Stuck at splash screen!

    IM using a probook 4530 s. It worked fine a few hours ago, until now. It gets stuck to the screen... with nothing else than the "windows 7 Home premium' down... It usually takes about 10 seconds after that. The pointer still works and I can activate the caps lock. His work also normally in SafeMode... so what exactly should I do?

    Hello

    Start the computer in Mode without failure.  When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issuance and then proceed to the restoration.  When you're done, see if Windows will restart normally.

  • Tecra A9 stuck on splash screen

    Hello

    I'm new to your forum, and I hope to find help.

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 stuck on the boot screen after my intervention in the bios to boot from a USB key.

    _DETAILS: _
    At first, it turns more on the home screen with the symbol choice 5 (hard drive, USB, etc.).
    By clicking on a symbol and nothing is unresponsive I can't enter the bios.
    It is displayed at the top of the screen: In Touch With tomorrow TOSHIBA and five symbols.

    I unplugged the two small green battery on the motherboard for 10 minutes, but nothing has changed.
    That said, I do not know if I unplugged the battery well (y ' have it two?).
    It would also make a metal button on the motherboard battery?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @ramnikchawla,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6-6c10us Entertainment Notebook and problems with the laptop being stuck on the startup screen. Try to make a hard reset.

    When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.

    Here is a link to computer does not start for Windows.

    Plug the adapter directly into a different wall socket. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • My music not opening – stuck on splash screen

    Tonight, I tried to play music on my iPhone.  I clicked on the application of the 'music' and I got the screen of 'My music' (see below).

    There is no other options and I couldn't click on anything - so finally I let fall.

    I tried to close the application and also a 'hard reset' - but no joy.

    I went to my other iPhone and I opened my music on one where I got a few options below the photo that allowed me to play the music of my albums and playlists.

    iPhone 6 / iOS 9.2

    All advice welcome

    See you soon

    Sorted.

    I tried an another "hard reset".

    Got the options at the bottom of the screen - "Three month trial" etc.

    Can now play my music!

  • 131SK yoga 900 stuck at splash screen "Lenovo."

    My Yoga was turned on, I was connected and the screen is locked. I left my office for a minute and when I got home, it's in the start screen "Lenovo" (white text on black background). I don't know if it auto-update or something, but now I can't seem to do anything. I tried different combinations of holding down the power button and pressing the button "Novo", but the only two things I can do is be able to completely off or show me this screen. He will not be far enough in the boot process to allow me to boot from my USB recovery. I got less than two weeks.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Never mind. I returned to Best Buy and exchanged. Tech he said, Yes, "it's watered."

  • Satellite L640 hangs at the splash screen

    Hi all

    I have a L640 / 01 H that I bought earlier this year. In addition to the original Windows 7 OS, I installed a Linux system on a separate partition.

    Earlier today, I was using Linux (which is what I normally use) and everything was really slow.
    Finally I force-shut-down, power button.

    Now, I noticed a problem with the BIOS on this laptop - if I try to start when there is a USB flash drive is connected, the splash screen just hangs. Today when I rebooted I realized that I had left a flash drive, then I got out and I tried to start it again, a couple of times. Whenever the computer crashes just indefinitely on the startup splash screen.

    Finally I gave him enough time and it takes the selection of Linux boot menu, so I tried to start my usual kernel but he gave me some message about a bad MBR.
    I kept trying to start, but the boot process is stuck, what happens is as follows:

    * The three lights on the left (power, battery and light) come on, no problem
    * HARD drive flashes white for a few seconds, then turns off. Occasionally, it will blink again.
    * At the same time, the screen is just stuck on the startup splash screen. If I try to press f2, f12 or any key too many times it will start emitting beeps whenever I press it. There is no way to get into the BIOS settings.

    Also, I can't boot from CD (Windows recovery CD or Linux LiveCD). Finally some kind of time-out of the entry into force, and the computer restarts itself to start the process all. Yay!

    I tried the stuff "unplug the power cord, remove the battery, hold down the power button / stop, plug back in, try to start" but nothing has changed. I also tried switching memory locations (only one chip of RAM, so I can't try a process of elimination on the RAM).
    Finally, I also open the door to HARD disk and removed the HARD drive, then tried to start. This time the BIOS has answered, if only to tell me that there is no appropriate boot media. At this point, the BIOS was responsive and I could change settings in there, but I could not boot from the CD.

    I thought I'd try resetting the CMOS battery, but I'm worried I'll damage something / make the problem worse. Someone at - it ideas? I know that the thing is still under warranty, but service centres are often slow and I don't want to lose the data from the hard drive.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    It could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive what you think of this idea?
    Perhaps the BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive properly and so there is a problem starting the bootable disc.

    In addition, it might be possible that failures of HARD drive and, therefore, you received an error message about the MBR (master boot record).

    Remove the CD/DVD drive and try to install the Windows booting from a USB flash drive.

    _Regarding the battery CMOS: _
    I would not recommend to disassemble the laptop because you could damage other parts and in addition it should know that the CMOS battery is not removable it s soldered to the motherboard
