T500 freezes at opening splash screen Thinkpad

I have a T500 [2081-CT0] running Windows 7.  Today the startup of the device froze on the screen of Thinkpad starts at the beginning of the startup routine.  I can hear the fan and feel the rotation of the disk.

I first rebooted several times, removed the battery, reconnect the HARD drive...

A previous question which has been intermittent is the USP does not recognize an external HARD drive.  He would always recognize the reboot, but not initially on other computers in the home and the office.   This problem started in the last two weeks.

My thought is the HARD disk controller, but I'm not familiar with architecture T500 to know its place in the world.

I did the initial research here [and more] but right now I have a dead T500

Is it possible that the USB port that you have connect the hard drive is damaged? Look in the port with a magnifying glass. A USB circuit causes these symptoms.

  • How can I disable calendar opening splash screen

    Every day I open my calendar and it shows the start screen "What's new in the calendar" and I have to press the button CONTINUE to see the calendar.  Is there a way to get around this?

  • Windows 7 freezes on the splash screen of Windows - in Recovery Mode, start DVD, Normal start, etc.

    Having a 64 bit Wondows 7 Home Premium on an HP Omni 120-1123w.  It freezes at normal boot and safe mode boot startup.  Get the "Windows is loading files', as the horizontal bar fills from left to right. When the bar is full the screen goes black for a second, then the phrase "Start window" will appear.  And that's all.  No converging balls.  It does the same thing if I boot from a DVD (once I get the message while pressing any key to boot from the disk).   He did the same thing when I boot from a USB flash on which I have installed Windows 7.  He even did the same thing when I hit escape to the Start Menu and press F11 for recovery of the system.

    I try to save anything on the PC.  Obviously something is damaged somewhere.  I don't know where.  I set the BIOS to default level.   I used the start menu F2 to run diagnostics.

    • CPU Test - passed
    • Connection hard drive test - passed
    • Start - passed test
    • S.M.A.R.T test - passed
    • Memory test - passed

    I then ran a sort of HARD drive test in BIOS called a DPS Self Test.   He ran for a long time, but finally passed.
    When the screen freezes, all devices lose power.  All the lights on the keyboard turns off.  If I boot from a flash drive, the flash player will Dim.

    Hello! It seems that you do every thing right and diagnostics of material seems good. IMHO you have a power supply problem or your mother Board has failed. Search

    bulging capacitors. A power supply can go wrong and get out your motherboard. Even if you have the side, turn, try to remove the RAM, using a stick at a time in different locations to see if you can start windows or load the operating system.

    Dokie!

  • Tecra A8-ez8512 freezes on the splash screen after installing Win XP

    Hi guys, this is my first post!

    I recently had an opportunity Tecra A8-ez8512 as a gift that had Vista Business installed (and works perfectly!). As a passionate XP user, I quickly decided to format the WHOLE hard drive and then install XP Pro SP2.

    After the format was successful and cleaned the entire hard drive, I put my xp cd in the drive and rebooted the laptop ready to select the boot cd.

    But now it crashes right on the home screen with no small slider under ratings to select a boot device. I pressed on the key board, but nothing happens.

    I noticed little black dots on the white part of the Intel symbol shortly after. What does that mean?

    Can someone please give me some advice?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    No idea what the black little dots on the white part of the Intel symbol might be a graphics card problem? ?:| who knows.

    But I m bit confused said you you formatted the HARD drive first, and then you insert the Win XP disk in order to install Win XP
    How you format the HARD drive without the use of the Win XP disc?

    Secondly, it would be interesting to know if you can install the operating system using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Lightroom CC freezes on splash screen

    I've seen a lot of posts on Lightroom CC crashing, but my problem seems to be different.

    I installed Lightroom CC through the CC app.  When I run the application, he asks me to update my catalog.  Once the dialog box "Update Catalog" ended, he launched Lightroom, my catalog appears in the background and then it hangs on the splash screen.  If I click anywhere, it turns black behind the splash screen and the program says it's not answer.  Here is what I tried:

    -WAITED a long time to see if she was doing something

    -restart the computer

    -uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom CC (on another hard drive)

    -leave the creative and revived cloud app

    -offline (via preferences) and recorded in creative cloud

    -a started a new catalog instead of updating a current catalog

    -reset to zero/trash preferences

    No matter what I do, it freezes on the splash screen.  Can anyone help?

    I use Windows 8.

    After 2 hours talk time of support with a remote employee access to my computer, he found that it is a problem with my user account.  If I create a new user account in Windows, Lightroom works fine.  So now I can spend the rest of my afternoon trying to figure out how to transfer all my settings to a new account.  Thank you Adobe!  >:(

  • System goes into sleep/hibernation mode suddenly; sometimes THINKPAD Sun splash screen

    I have a type-7EU, put T61P 6460 updated since the original factory with Win 7 and a Corsair SSD.  This problem occurred months after these upgrades.

    Problem as a whole seems to be displayed in many ways, so I don't know what the root cause and whether or not the system can be repaired.

    A few weeks ago, I found that I could not resume after sleep or Hibernate mode.  The system would start to recover, but the screen turns off and the "half moon" icon lit up.  However, instead of going completely to sleep, it seems to begin to restore once again, because the caps lock num lock light flashes and the DVD player would be 'would click,' as they do when first starting the system.

    In other situations, when I first tries to start, the ThinkPAD splash screen is very low.  This happens until I see Win 7 menu to select Win7 or an older operating system to start.  Once I selected Win 7, the screen flashes between normal and total brightness black during the boot process. Usually, the system never ends completely to where I can connect to Windows.

    Or, I can work after 5 minutes or an hour away, and then the system suddenly goes to sleep

    Sometimes, I noticed that the vent near the upper left corner of the system is very hot.  But then I got this problem starting even when the system is off all day and probably cold.

    Alternatively, I can work all day without any problems.

    Can anyone advise on what could be the problem?  I'm looking at a motherboard replacement?  If so, is it possible to buy from an eBay seller?  Any recommendations?

    OK guys, I don't know whether to apologize or grin because I came across a solution.

    I'll try to answer all the answers to this one message.

    I already downloaded the manual equipment, because about two months ago the screen on my T61p cracked badly, during a business trip.  Not good.  And in the coming days, the crack has continued to worsen.  When I got home, I find this manual and did an eBay search to find a replacement screen.  I also find a video on YouTube that shows how to disassemble the 'lid' (once removed from the main system) to change the screen. That everything worked well, except that it took several hours longer than I expected.  Going to pull apart the main system, I removed the wind and the heat sink and blew all the dust.

    The way I solved this problem in all its manifestations, was to RESTORE control Plan for the Plan of power to all of the default values.  I had been playing with some advanced settings and noticed that some advanced settings settings did not share the same parameter values for the Basic setting, things like sleep and will point.

    I can't that speculate that there are a few subtleties modes ensure Intel CPU, which can be programmed for Windows and are persistent through a reset or even a full stop. And I can also speculate that between Windows and the BIOS T61p, there are a few bugs in the way that these settings are configured.

    In any case, once I did the reset to use, I can put my system to sleep or hiberate or close windows and the system still restarts when necessary.  I can also put my system to sleep by closing the lid of the screen and restart opening the cover.

    Everything is good again, and I didn't have to spend the $$$.

    Also, there are several months I upgraded to 8 GB of memory, of using a Crucial element.  Works very well, and I noticed that my MS Office apps now run faster, like Windows (64-bit).

    This is therefore an envelope, I think that, as they say in Hollywood.

  • M9452p Pavilion lock, restart the HP splash screen and freezes

    My HP Pavillion M9452p primer, I can connect and I ran a program to copy a disc.  the system froze, then went through the process of restarting and froze on the splash screen for HP.  Rebooted the system by closing doen ran diagnotics and received a message "BIOS4 Boot error, contact the HP support" what dio I need to do to fix this?

    Tried system restore and system recovery using the F8 key start, but he did not, it ran very slow and then rebooted to start HP with the F10, Esc, F9 and F11 options and froze both times.

    I just replace the HD two months ago, and it works very well. I just removed all the component and repluged everythignback to gether, ran diagnotics and everything that happened, but still have the same problem with freezing and restarting the HP splash screen.

    Motherboard?

  • FX6831-03 will not be able to start Windows. Just shows the gateway splash screen, then freezes

    My Gateway FX6831-03 will not be able to start Windows.  Just shows the gateway splash screen, then freezes.  OS is updated to current MS Win7-64 bit-w/all and virus/malware protection., Went over 4 days vacation, and when I tried to turn it on, it should display the gateway splash screen, then stop. can't hear anything that happens on the inside.

    Problem solved!  An external hard drive, powered by a separate power supply, was not turned on, but it was plugged into a USB port. When the computer "seen" this cross-town 'dead', he just stop - but no message appears problem.

    The good part?  Vaced out all the dust and replace the bios battery.  [I'm good for at least another 2 years;-]

  • Unable to load the splash screen Startup Manager (by pressing F12 either does nothing or freezes the screen)

    Search on Google for a few days now, seems to be a rare problem I have found only ONE thread referring to a problem like this

    Problem:
    Boot Manager does not load
    Case 1: Start (with Toshiba logo) screen-> I press F12 for the Boot Manager. Nothing happens, and initialize routinely at the login screen, as if nothing had happened.
    Case 2: Splash screen-> in the crazy frustration I spam the button F12. The computer remains frozen in the home screen for hours otherwise force-closing
    Case 3: (this can be linked) by pressing the button F3/F8 works, but only if I wait 5 seconds. If I press immediately after starting the computer, the screen freezes again and remains frozen. In addition, it will NOT display the live cd USB drives / bootable, that I plugged in; o

    Details:
    I have Vista Home Edition 32-bit
    I've never reinstalled it, and I want to keep avoiding a complete reinstall if it isn't necessary because most of the problems can be resolved without having to reinstall and it's a pain in the _ to save everything, save parameter files and all that.
    A virus that could cause this would probably be beyond the capabilities of Avast, but always I ran a scan with Avast antivirus full (and own)

    If anyone has any suggestions please email me at vrielis@gmail (no matter how old this post is!) I'm getting desperate. o I also check here regularly, but I would prefer email

    Hello

    Reinstall would be a waste of time because, as I already pointed out, the problem is not in the operating system. It has everything to do with how Toshiba implements access to their volume of recovery and absolutely nothing to do with the operating system. Your best chance of resolution is the manufacturer. If you take this route or not is your choice. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

  • Shortcut to open a program in a new window in the splash screen?

    I find it rather annoying that windows 8 refuses to open a new instance of a desktop app when I click again in the start screen.   If I for example several 'guests order', I have to go to start, right click on command prompt, click Open in a new window.   It's quite embarrassing.   I don't see that there is an option to remove this restriction.  It may be wise for the Metro style applications open 1 single instance, but it is not appropriate to impose this restriction on desktop applications.

    Can someone give me a registry hack or an option of control panel to fix this annoyance in the splash screen?
    For now, I added programs like a toolbar that is separate in the taskbar of office, so that I can open multiple instances without using the start screen.  For every reading, you can do so by right-clicking the taskbar, uncheck the lock all bars of tasks, do a right click again and click on toolbars-> new toolbar and drag on new program shortcuts.

  • Upgrade to Indesign CC 2015.5 - does not open and hangs on the splash screen

    I upgraded to CC 2015.5 2015.  After you have installed indesign, it allowed me to open the program once.  After closing the program, any attempt to reopen causes an error pop up during the splash screen that says "Adobe InDesign CC 2015 has stopped working" and leaves the program.  I uninstalled / reinstalled two times with the same results.  Other 2015,5 improvements seem to be fine, only the Indesign program is having issues.  Any advice would be much appreciated on how to fix or revert to the previous version that worked.

    Hi all

    We are aware of the problem where InDesign crashes on launch while working with library files stored on a network location.

    We are working on resolving the issue and for the moment, please try the solution that we have identified.

    To work around the problem, please follow the steps below:

    Clear the Cache InDesign either by renaming the Cache folder or deleting it altogether. (It is best to rename the folder)

    The location of the cache folder: -.

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\------\Caches\

    Windows 7 or 10: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\-\Caches\

    Macintosh: Drive hard/users/InDesign/Library/Caches/Adobe///.

    In addition, if your workflow requires you to work with the (different) library placed on the network, please make sure you close the library panel before leaving InDesign.

  • T400 suddenly won't boot beyond the ThinkPad splash screen

    .. .only visible indicator of a problem is that the drive activity light on the bottom of the screen stops ignition etc when the ThinkPad splash screen appears. No bumps in the system, no unusual activity to suggest physical damage to computer laptop or disk - started very well in the morning on the desk, would not restart from the same location on the office after lunch. System also won't start on a bootable system disk (but you can hear the drive access). System is less than one year.

    I solved my problem: Lenovo Service Center for repair under warranty here a diagnosis nor a bad mother and a bad battery, due to abuse of the handling, etc. the computer could suffer (it seemed to be a factory default). No indication as to whether one or the other 'bad' component caused the other to fail. in total 48 hrs to repair, most of the waiting time for a new motherboard coming in the night. No charge to me for what it is. Life goes on.
