System does not boot: failure of the video card or viruses? I do not know...

Here's the deal: on a computer running Windows XP Pro SP3. Athlon, dual-core processor (2.4 gHz); 4 GB of memory; NVidia GeForce 7300 video card; and a Western Digital SATA, I met a failure while watching a DVD (using Media Player 11) and now I can't start.

I have been having problems for a few days with my Dell flat screen monitor "energy saving" mode because it has detected no signal. After playing with this and obliging to recognize a digital signal rather than the automatic detection, all seemed well.

During the film, the picture froze, the sound became a loud, grating buzz and shut down the system.  It has restarted as usual, but then would not start the rest of the way, stopping at the Windows XP screen.  The progress bar froze and spinning to stop the drive.

However... on occasion, for example when the system remained some time, I can sometimes start in safe mode (but still, it hangs when starting "mup.sys") or he will move to the XP logon screen and freeze it.  I replaced the mouse and keyboard (whiched USB connections) used with their equivalents of PS/2, but nothing has changed.

When I try to start, I hear all the clicks Associates, snoring and whatever else as if the startup continues normally.  However, when it stops, I can't "see" it on my network.

I have a hunch that it is a damaged video card because also the failure during the film and previous issues of monitor, when I hit the map to try to reinstall, he felt much warmer that it should have, but a video card failure would prevent initialize to top?

Any ideas?  I'm all that.

It does for me, but of course as I said in my previous notice of Disclaimer: I want to emphasize that you should not take what I wrote as a definitive diagnosis. I can't see or test your computer from here. I give you my opinion on your computer based on my experience as a computer tech and what you have written. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

I understand that.  I was looking for another opinion by giving an update.

However, it certainly seems that the jury went.  It freezes even trying to boot in the BIOS setup.  Thanks for the directions.

  • Upgrade the video card on Satellite X 200-20 g

    Hello everyone

    I'll find a way to have my 8700M GT updated on my X 200 laptop.
    I paid for it more than 2000 and I paid for 2 years warranty.
    A few months later, I discovered that some of the new Toshiba are equipped with 9700 m GTS!

    I know that the X 200-20 G is having a mxm graphics card which is removable to be upgraded (not being is not part of the motherboard).

    I couldn't find anywhere in the Toshiba site, where I can ask to buy a new graphics card, or if I can send my laptop and ask for an upgrade price.
    I suppose someone who has paid a sum of money for Toshiba can be listened to, or get a special offer to swap its model to the newest one after even not a year of use.

    I really want to upgrade the video card, and I don't really know where to find advice or information about it, other than on the side of Toshiba.

    Thanks to everyone or admin, to let me know how I should do, or process.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

    My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

    System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

    That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

    I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

    Help or direction is appreciated.

    original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

    See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

    So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    According to the request, I understand that your system is unable to recognize the F: drive after inserting a disc. I appreciate your efforts to solve this problem.

    The issue could be due to one of the following reasons - the drive might be bad, might have a cable loose or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Given the clicking of the drive I suggest you to clean the optics on the drive by wiping with a barely damp q-tip.

    If there is a possibility of cables in bulk. I suggest to remove the power supply, then make sure that the cables at both ends. Remove and replace firmly. For laptops, you can often clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    1. Open the Control Panel.
    2. Click on Device Manager and select CD/DVD.
    3. Double click on the drivers tab.
    4. Click update drivers and right click on the Uninstalldisk.
    5. Reboot- it will refresh the default driver stack.

    See the following Article in the Microsoft helps solve problems with CD or DVD drives.

  • 64-bit with 4 GB of RAM installed; system does not boot

    I bought and installed W7 64 bit so that I could use the full 4 G of RAM installed in the machine.  Clean install after format but W7 would not move past the "Starting Windows" screen

    Microsoft is absolutely useless as Acer support.  Very disappointed in both.

    So I started by disconnecting equipment: card reader.  Try again.  Nope.  2nd screen.  Nope.  Remove the piece of 1 G of RAM.  There she goes. Now, I have everything set up and a few days later reinstall the 4 G of RAM.  Still, no way in front of the window startup.  Try changing on the sticks.  No go.

    So while Vista would go with the 4G installed, it wouldn't use it, W7 will not work with it.  Max 3G.  What gives?

    I think it must be in the BIOS, but what?  I also read that the removal of the video card and reinstall that after install the last piece of RAM will work, but I'm pretty skeptical.
