The RAM lot shown on Sys. Info. but the correct amount of shows mycomp/properties, black screen was crashing...

Although quick and concise as possible. PC under XP SP3 Pro with AMD Athelon 2.41 GHz and had two sticks of 1 GB of ram with 256 MB radeon x 1650 just to use dual monitor graphics card. A few weeks ago it started to break up during different tasks, no bsod or error message, just a black screen crash and reboot. He wouldn't even say ms recovered or give me an option to boot safe mode or anything like that, just acted like it never happened. The typical check/clean/test when discovered that even if sys properties reported two GB of info sys ram only showed 256 MB total physical. Thought it was a RAM problem, took a stick, works slowly but not crash, exchanged, even. Put two sticks in another pc, no crash and it reads 2 Go in the properties and 2 048 Mo in sys info. Took the four MB 512 out of this pc put into this one, nothing, does not start. Put the 1 GB in works slowly with no crash, but reads only 128 MB of ram in sys info, while always reading 1 GB in comp/properties...

So my question is: is this a power supply motherboard problem or power, or am I just missing something here? I wonder on BIOS or CMOS, but they have not been affected or modded and it worked. In addition, av is up-to-date with no reports of virus.

Looks like you got a BSOD but just don't see it because XP is supposed to relaunch on these failures.  If your system is configured to save dump files, we can always get infromation from last bit depressed.  If the sytem is not configured to save dump files, make sure and then let a few dump files accumulate so we have something to look at.

If you are forced to do so, you can certainly guess all what he could be and try things.

Please provide more information on your system.

There would be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), or what seems to be only your business that you can remove the dough.  Send two copy/pasta.

XP is configured to restart automatically on some system failures, you will need to disable this feature for BSOD information will remain on the screen for you to see.

Configure your system does not automatically restart on system failure (this is what he wants to do):

Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings.

  • Replaced the G550 motherboard. Won't boot black screen and high.

    I replaced the motherboard in my Lenovo G550 laptop cause the old one was fried. It's the exact same model of the motherboard with a new processor. I carefully put it back together and double checked all the connections. Now when I turn it on, it made all the right noises, I hear the fan and hard drive starts, but after 2-3 seconds, the HARD drive and fan go quiet and the hard drive light turns off. The laptop stays just slowed after this point and the screen is completely black, no display at all. Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    THE FIXED! .. After leaving the laptop running for about five minutes, I noticed that the right part of the palmrest botton was really hot. That's where the USB slot Council separte connected to the motherboard. So I opened the laptop again once disconnected the cable flex of the USB card, turned on again and it starts without any problem. Everything works perfect now just need to find a replacement USB Board now on this side. Can't believe that the USB Board was causing the problem.

  • ACPI.sys corrupted at startup disk on the black screen windows

    When I start my computer normally all I get is a black screen with my cursor on it before I reach the log on screen (but after normal of the windows startup process).  I tried Ctrl alt del and nothing happens, there is no beep or anything along those lines is.  I tried safe mode, but exactly the same thing happens, I get a black screen with white inscription around the edges, telling me that I'm in safe mode and my slider is still there and moves, but other then that is all black screen.  Ctrl alt delete doesn't work or any other key press on that I skipped.  I put in my windows XP CD and he would try to repair or reinstall the operating system but when I boot on the CD, it starts to load normally and then stops and gives me the error message "the acpi.sys file is corrupted.  Press a key to continue' when I press any button it goes upwards and brings back me to the black screen with the cursor.  I tried to go into the BIOS and turn off acpi but the loading and the startup disk produce the exact same results any bios settings I try.  Any help would be appreciated, either for obtaining windows at startup after the black screen without the startup disk or get me to the point where I can still use the CD (which I should mention that I have used before and it worked well, is the one responsible for my windows XP in the first place and who is clean and scratch free).  Thank you for any help or advice.  Oh, and I must add that I have installed any new software or whatever it is like in the last month or two, so I don't think it is something like that.

  • FavIcons not showing correctly in the file Explorer, but display correctly in Internet Explorer.

    Please note: this is the opposite of what people usually describe their problem in.

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    My favicon display correctly in the Explorer of files (file mode) but display correctly in Internet Explorer. This intrigues me. When I open the Internet Explorer, icons for Favorites OK show to the left of the name of the shortcut file in the Favorites bar and the Favorites bar. However, when I open Windows File Explorer and check out my favorites and folders, the FavIcons are the generic icons globe, not specific icons to websites that shortcuts point to. The links work well. It's just that the FavIcons are generic globes. (Not all, but many). I want the correct FavIcons to show in the view of Windows File Explorer.

    I tried to revisit web sites and dragging the URL (and favicon) of the bar of address of IE in the "Favorites" folder again. Who has not solved the problem. I tried to go to the page of the site and to type the favicon.ico extension and save it, but windows won't let me save it. (Where can they be saved? And how would be attributed to the shortcut in the file Explorer file? Or is it not the way to solve the problem?)

    Is there a way to fix this without having to download an app/program? Is there a way to solve this problem without changing the registry? Or is the simple registry change?

    I want the correct Favicons to display in the file Explorer, and Internet Explorer.

    Please answer in plain English, not in words irritable. If you propose a procedure, please explain where everything is (how to find things click on what you recommend.)

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    IT IS THE ANSWER. A MODERATOR WOULD MARK IT AS THE ANSWER, OR REPLY TO IT, SO I CAN MARK THE ANSWER. IT SEEMS ABSURD THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO POST AN ANSWER TO OUR QUESTION AND POWER OF THE BRAND AS THE ANSWER. Thank you.

    I searched and found the answer. Also, I realized I had encountered this problem about two years ago and had saved the info of the solution in a Notepad file. On the site, the answer given by Chris H is the solution. It is to delete the icon cache of .db database and allowing windows to create a new. My problem was that the favicons for several favorite shortcuts of IE showed the purple globe (ugly) credits. After that I deleted the icon cache database file, a new file has been created and my favicons are correct for each shortcut.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-desktop/some-desktop-icons-appear-as-broken-icons/05abcead-adb1-43ba-9BB7-e308d0cc83a4

    (Both methods are given in the he.) I list the instructions for the first method, which worked for me. You can click on this page for more information).

    There are a few things you can try:

    First: (icon Cache regeneration)

    1. open Folder Options to select (round) display the hidden files and folders.
    2. open a Windows Explorer window.
    3. go to C:\Users\(User Name) \AppData\Local
    4. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
    5. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
    NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
    6. close the window.
    7 empty the trash.
    8 restart the computer.
    9. When you return, you'll notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
    NOTE: If for some reason any IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed much, then just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.
    10. the icon cache has been rebuilt.
    11. Open Folder Options to select (round) do not show the hidden files and folders.

    Hi InterestedLearner,
     
    -Have you done recent changes made to your computer before this problem occurred?
     
    Updated the graphics driver and check if it helps fix the problem.

And Yes, the information system shows the 4 GB for some reason any. My problem is less than 3/4 GB barrier and more that I know I should get 3 and not 2.3 instead.

    It was OK. Do you see the 1.7 GB? 4.0 - 1, 7 = 2.3 GB you see in a 32-bit Windows. So to learn more, use the Vista 64-bit. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    Method 1.
    Change hardware acceleration
    You can try to change the hardware acceleration in the middle and check (you can try another level too.)
    a. right click on a space empty on the desktop.
    b. go to the resolution of the screen.
    c. click Advanced settings, and then click the "troubleshooting."
    d. set the hardware acceleration in the middle. (here you'll get the only option your video card sound support).
     
     
    Method 2.
    a. you can also check that Windows is up-to-date to check updates for your hardware.
    You can also run the difficulty below that diagnoses and identify codecs that can cause windows to become unstable or stop responding.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/video_freezes_or_crashes
     
    b. if the problem persists, you can check the latest video card driver provided by the manufacturer of the PC that is compatible with Windows Vista is installed.

  • Envy 17-j130ea: HP Envy 17-j130ea do not have access to the BIOS recovery and black screen

    Hi people,

    The laptop was waking up alone, so I decided to try to update the BIOS. Bis error. The tool has been run on 64 Win10

    The HP tool left me with a black screen and after that I tried to hold the low win + B and the power to access the Bios recovery, but there is no nothing. Tone flashing, nothing.

    I don't know if creating a flash drive with the bios will help as I don't have admin rights in another machine to create the flash drive using HP tool.

    Any ideas? Flash player won't work if BIOS recovery is not pulled up?

    All ideas are welcome.

    See you soon

    Well, I managed to solve the problem overnight without having to wait three days for anyone to answer that after the end of the week, with the following steps:

    1. I had to create a USB key with the bios by using the executable auto HP. It did not help that for some reason any that you have to have the administrator rights on a windows machine. Why aren't files available as well in a simple zip file? It would have helped a lot! Please stop HP right now provide only Autorun... it only compliates things. It took me an extra day just because I couldn't access a machine windows with administrator rights to install the executable file.

    2 - Insert the memory stick with the bios in the dead computer.

    3 - Press the Win + B and press the power button. The machine didn't do any beep or noise that all the guides say. I just kept pressing the key B + Win until I saw a recovery of the Bios screen, finally. Without the memory following stick this same step has not shown, nor does the computer make a noise or show any display, just died.

    4 - wait for the update at the end.

    My Advisor. Do not update windows, it all messed up. It is very reliable to get the memory stick. Too many windows things can interfere in the process, just don't do it from Windows, or at least create the memory stick first while you still can.

  • Vista Home Prem (64-bit) - black screen with cursor in the top left

    Hello

    When I turn on the laptop, all I get is a black screen after screen of the bios at startup. Never done anywhere. He won't let me go in safe mode, it will not go to any login screen. I tried Startup Repair with Vista disc, and he says that it's been fixed, but still does not start. I've done it many times. I tried to let the part installation that moves the windows to the windows.old and creates a new copy of windows, and this did not fix it.

  • Windows 8 black screen after Login or the wake from sleep / hibernate and flickering screen

    Hello

    I have something of a nightmare with my desktop computer running Windows 8 x 64.

    I did a bit of cleaning, unplug all cables, etc. and then reconnected everything later.

    Since then, I've known the following questions: -.

    After starting and going through the connection, I am faced with a black screen.  The monitor turns on, but there is no pointer.  However, if I clicked at random, it would open a Windows App out of the splash screen, which would then become visible.  If I moved the mouse to the bottom left, to get the splash screen, he would immediately go black screen on me.  He seemed to be refusing to display the splash screen.

    With "display" black screen, I found I could get the Task Manager (Ctrl, Alt, Del) upward and there could access the desktop.  It would then execute as usual, but if I let it go into hibernation or even just having the power of the screen down, it would be black screen again, and I have to use the 'trick' Task Manager to retrieve the desktop computer.

    Sometimes, using the Manager tasks does not always, because he'll sweep between the black screen and the desktop, alternating every 5-6 seconds.  I found through the process from the Task Manager, it stops doing this.

    Now, I did a Windows 8 regenerate, without any change in the problems.  I made sure the AMD drivers have been completely updated (they were) and also physically checked all cables and cables are properly connected and the GPU / RAM etc are properly placed.

    There is no error message displayed at any time. I have also disabled Fast Boot, nothing helps.

    I examined a faulty monitor, but it worked fine for an hour or two at a time, until I got let go sleep or put into hibernation, and I'm at square one.  It would of course be a faulty GPU, or even a PSU failure, but I'm not convinced the symptoms are pointing to them.

    For me, the fact it does not display the Windows 8 start screen after that Login or Wake Up is important.  It makes me think that Windows may interfere with the display in some way?

    I can, if necessary, provide DXDIAG etc, and I "m hoping someone will have an idea of what goes wrong.  I have spent ages going through Google and others, but cannot find a solution to my problem.

    Thanks for any help or suggestion you may have.

    Conrad.

    It solved!  Traded my monitor cable and all problems solved.  Guess he had a break or something in one of the lines.

    Thanks anyway.
