Tecra A8 does not start - I get a black screen

At the start of my TECRA A8 I get a black screen (invalid file Booting from c:\Windows Boot.INI).
Why is this happening?

BIOS update did not resolve it.

Hello!

I think that an update of the BIOS peut t solve this problem, because there is something wrong with the installation of Windows and the BIOS has nothing to do with it. If don t mix these different things.

In your case, I would like to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall Windows. This should solve the problem because the disc contains factory settings. After that, you should be able to start Windows again.

Good bye

  • Windows XP does not start, I get a blue screen with STOP: 0x0000007E (0 x 0000005, 0 xC0000001, 0xF7AA13D4, 0xF7AA1D0)

    so I used Spybot S & D to get rid of a virus on my computer that I thought was spyware. (basically what made the virus was redirect all my research on google for websites ad). After what's happened, he said I had to reboot my computer so I don't, Spybot run and then asked me a bunch of changes and whether to 'allow' or 'ignore' or 'refuse the change. I don't know if this has caused, but I clicked on 'allow' or 'deny change' for many of them, and then neither firefox nor IE would work because both would be would break whenever I tried to use them.

    so to remedy THIS problem, I tried to use "System Restore" last week when my laptop was working fine, but the system restore everything screwed up my worst computer. Now XP will not boot even upward, and I get a blue screen with the error "STOP: 0x00000007E (0 x 0000005, 0 xC0000001, 0xF7AA13D4, 0xF7AA1D0) ' and its a cycle with no end of restarting but XP never works.

    I tried the safe mode, last good configuration, all these options, known and none got XP to start.

    I am so lost on what to do, can anyone help me?

    rdjfdhar,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  If you can try to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, and then run the following commands.

    If you cannot start mode safe mode with command prompt, then you need to boot from your XP CD recovery console and run these commands.  Post back with the results.

  • Just bought a msi gtx 750 ti OC edition.when installed does not start, ends with a black screen and the cursor

    As indicated in the title, I bought a ti 750 gtx.

    N750Ti-2GD5/OC

    The machine had a 620 in gt and works very well with it in. When I install the ti 750 gtx, however, the boot system hangs on a black screen with cursor / underscores and a single beep.

    The system is a h8 1203, with a power of 460.

    I also have a gts 250, that also installs and works fine. Ive read a little, and there is a problem with this map and the hp system? something about the type of bios? I couldn't quite follow what has been said.

    Hello

    If you upgrade to Windows 8 (UEFI-mode Setup) and apply the BIOS posted updated so you should be able to work to the video card.

    Don't forget to create a set of external support of HP recovery before installing a new operating system.

  • Tecra M2 does not start successfully - zeroes appear all over the screen

    Help!

    My Tecra M2 does not start. After the toshiba logo, a series of zeros (0) appear all over the screen.

    -suspect it is caused by a virus, I formatted the HD (in another PC), but still the zeros appear
    -I might want to start in the DVD player, it seems to read the disc, but nothing happens, just a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen
    -J' I reset / replaced the RAM, but still no effect.
    -the power button works, lights and shuts the laptop but does not start.
    -CPU fan works
    -LED indicators of work are power, battery, dvd, wireless. Does not have HD LED light on.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
    See you soon!

    Hello

    I think we can exclude HARD disk failure because you are able to format it in another computer.
    As you suggest the RAM modules has been replaced but the problem persists
    So in my opinion, a motherboard problem would be possible

    But as you know, it of really difficult to say what might be exactly wrong
    I think that the technician should check the laptop then it would be possible to say what part is malfunctioning

    In any case, I think a motherboard might be affected

  • Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203

    original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

    Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

    So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

    "I tried to do the second option, because the first really helped."

    Something works, or it doesn't work regarding: "really helped."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I'm sorry, but I don't understand where the procedure of ISO part 2 stops.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You may be interested in this:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

  • Tecra 9100 does not start in windows-black display

    Hi, just found this forum.
    I have problems with my old laptop Tecra 9100 that ive had since.
    I stopped last night, started this morning and now is no longer boots.
    It gets past the Toshiba screen and windows xp scroll bar screen seems in good condition.

    But then the screen turns black and does not go to the XP login screen.
    But windows does not work because if I press on enter newspapers in my profile (I hear the theme music for connection etc, and the HARD drive light is on, connect to windows...) It's just that I have no display at all?

    I also tried an external monitor, always the same, Windows XP, scroll screen still appears, but nothing else appears on the display.

    Any ideas? Hardware failure? (But the toshiba screen and 1 XP appears)? , Because the OS (even thought I can connect, although "blind")?

    Thank you

    It's strange... I put t think that there is a hardware problem because you can see the Toshiba start screen and like you say the Windows starts.

    My first thought was that your display is set to external monitor
    Looks like you have tested and nothing appears on the second screen?  :|
    Which is really strange.

    In any case after the laptop started try to use the key combination FN + F5 to switch to another screen, maybe it helps.

    You can also try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key at the beginning.
    Then choose Safe mode.

  • Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

    From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

    I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

    After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

    What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Joachim

    I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

  • Tecra M2 does not start - the power light AC blinking orange

    Someone at - it a list of codes for the Tecra M2 flash.
    My friend has a laptop that does not start at the top. the AC power LED flashes orange. a long, short, long, short, long, short, long, short.

    I checked the battery and reinstall the RAM.
    Any IDE?

    Hello

    I agree with go.
    The ASP would be able to tell what means error.

    Usually means short and 1 long: 0
    So the error must be: 1010 1010
    Due to the last significant bit (LSB), to be read by behind:
    So it now means: * 0101 0101 binary *-> it must be converted to hexadecimal-> * 55 Hex *.

    Then, you will get a hex code.
    But unfortunately, I m not very well which could mean this code

    So ask ASP for help!

  • Re: Tecra S5 does not start

    After the upgrade to win7 and sometimes having a blue screen when you start the following happened.

    After blue screen once more, laptop is not starting at all.

    The only thing that happens is that I see the upstartscreen (in touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA) and the icons at the bottom of the screen indicating the readers. Nothing happens any more, it does not start doe.

    I can change by tapping F12 in a new boot through the CD rom boot procedure, but there is also no effect.

    Also, it is not possible to enter the bios (esc + F1).

    The keyboard works because, after a while each touch result is a short "beep".

    I removed the battery for a while and tried again with no results.

    If I can put my laptop by the ore basket is there a possibility to bring it to life

    Thanks in advance, Jos

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer an accurate diagnosis, but somehow, I feel THAT BIOS is doomed.
    Unplug the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery and press the power for 20 seconds. After doing this only connect the power supply and restart your laptop.

    I don't have this model of laptop and I'm not sure to get into the BIOS but try also with F2.

  • Tecra M2 does not start

    I'm new havoing problems with my Tecra M2. can someone point me in the right direction with regard to breakdowns, I had a glance on the forum and the threads associated with the Tecra range but cannot find all threads that match my problem.

    In a short time, less than three days, I had a problem that began with the laptp re start when it has been moved to now does not start at all. All the lights are what I expect of them with the exception of the HARD drive indicator, that does not illuminate at the start of the boot sequence. Does that mean that my HARD drive or the connection at the disk has failed, measures of observation of fault that I can follow to confirm or deny my fears would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is faulty, then you should not be able to start the operating system, but you should be able to see the BIOS splash screen.
    You see that? Are you abele to access the BIOS?
    Please check this!

    To access the BIOS ESC and F1 press immediately after the laptop has been powered! If this is not possible then there might be something wrong with the motherboard or any other piece of hardware like RAM.

    If you are able to access the BIOS, then you should check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
    You can also use the tool called Drive Fitness Test to verify the HARD drive!

  • Why Tecra A3 does not start from CD/DVD?

    My laptop Tecra A3 does not react to the BIOS setting asking at the start of the CD/DVD.

    CD/DVD is the first place in the list of bootable devices (defined through F12 in boot sequence) the operating system starts with the HD. I have a chance to start with a bootable CD!

    The configuration is the following:

    Tip: TOSHIBA EAT10/EAT20
    BIOS: TOSHIBA V2.80 10/25/2006

    Any advice is welcome!

    Thanks in advance

  • After the motherboard replacement Tecra S2 does not start

    I tried to remove the RAM.

  • Tecra M4 - does not start, no image on the monitor

    My Tecra M4 will not start.
    When I turn it on, all I hear is a quick check of the DVD player, a hum of hard drive and fan.

    I tried an external monitor and still see nothing.
    I also changed the ram, tried to start with disconnected HARD drive disconnected RTC battery for a while.

    I don't see anything on the screen at any time.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi TheXenon,

    In your case, I'll try this:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then reconnect the two and try to restart your laptop.

    But at the moment for me that sounds like a hardware malfunction and you need help from a service allowed in your country. :(

  • Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

    My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

    I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

    The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

    The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

    Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
    During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
    It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

    My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
    Thank you
    I have.

    Hello

    I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

    After that, the system must run again...
