Hello Bee27,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

If I understand correctly, your system is unable to boot. By turning on the PC, it loads a gray screen with the HP logo and a symbol of loading. You then get a prompt for password at startup the PC, but it does not accept the password and will restart after three attempts. After you restart the PC will launch Startup Repair tool but fails to diagnose and fix the problem.

Were there of the last changes made to the system as the Windows updates, or recently installed the driver software?

I would say that repair system running manually in the HP Recovery Manager. You can access this by pressing F11 repeatedly after turning on the PC. This will give you all the same options as would your recovery CD.

If this fails, you can watch a system restore to a point when the system enabled to start. This is also done with the HP Recovery Manager, accessed by repeatedly tapping F11 at startup.

The next step after that would be a complete system recovery. A system recovery back the PC to its original factory condition. You guessed it, it is also accessible via F11.

If the F11 method does not load the HP Recovery Manager, you will need the recovery media.

It would be useful also to know the exact product that you are using.

I hope this helps and I look forward to your response!

    I get startup repair screen when I try to boot my laptop Dell Inspiron windows 7, I run the scan and detects any errors. So, I tried to use a USB repair for a laptop Dell Latitude Windows 7 pro and I still can't the computer to start. Tried to restore to the factory settings, can not. I have no image, backups, all missing, restore points?

    After that I tried to launch the USB repair I got 0x400110020000100A error code and I received error (0x8007027E) indicating the device will not start without a reboot.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not computer illiterate, but am not pro either. Just use them not program them or even understand all languages!

    Dell Inspiron laptop about 4-5 years.

    Running windows 7 Home Edition.

    Does not start little matter what I tried.

    If I remember correctly, I looked in MS-DOS mode and noticed that it said something like "x: win...» "that seemed strange to me because I thought that it should say"c: victory... "but as I said I am not a computer wiz so if anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

    I'm about to rip the hair off my head with my laptop. My latitude was blue planned, surprisingly I fixed it (don't ask how, you couldn't tell). Then my dell inspiron would not start right after my dell latitude fell out of my truck and landed on the sidewalk, wanted to kill the person, the screen is broken. I can use it but it is very difficult, see a mosquito net and not perfectly clear, works well. lol someone knows somewhere or that would install a new screen for a reasonable price? I live in the Boston area.

  • Can't stay in the browser without clicking on the mouse

    Sounds crazy. I'll start typing (as in this message box!) when my cursor disappears. I have to click my mouse to put the cursor in the browser (or else I care to) in order to continue.  So annoying, especially when you type a password and it is only showing asterisks, and you will have to start all over again! It happened just after the last update.  Not sure if this is the last update or if I need a new mouse.  I have the Apple wireless mouse.  I am running OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.4, iMac late 2009, with keyboard and wireless mouse.  The situation gets really annoying.  I would like to delete e-mails from 5-10 at a time by holding down the control button.  I'll have to delete one at a time now because I have selected 10, the cursor disappears, I need to reselect all over again.  I'm ready to Chuck all that and just use my MacBook Pro, but I really like my big iMac monitor!

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi sharon289,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem with your iMac. It is certainly unusual. To narrow down the possible causes of this problem / clicking on the slider downwards, you can try to boot mode safe (a start more limited mode which load only essential services). You can also try to test in a new test user account and see if the problem persists there as well.

  • Frozen laptop after Windows 10 download

    I tried to load windows 10 to my laptop and it was loading forever.  I left it last night and now the computer is frozen on the password screen.  Keys and the mouse are inadmissible.  Help!

    Hi Joan,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem, your computer is frozen to the login screen. First, try hard, restart the computer and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

  • I had this problem for a few days now, everytime I turn on my computer, it immediately goes into recovery.

    OK, so I've had this problem for a few days now, everytime I turn on my computer, it immediately goes into recovery.

    It says: "Please choose an option:

    Start the repair Microsoft Windows environment

    Reinstall Windows

    Advanced options

    "Exit and restart the computer"

    I tried all the options, the demand for my keyboard and language input method, and then he says: "use recovery tools that can help solve the problems of Windows startup. Select an operating system to repair. If your operating system isn't listening, click Load Drivers and then install the drivers for your hard drives. »

    There is no operating system listed and when I click Load Drivers, everything that happens is a folder called "System32".

    There is another option, which is "Restore your computer using a system image you created earlier."

    This does not work either.

    So now the second option has two ways to sort, 'Start Windows System Restore' I tried before and now does not work. There are also "Start Full destructive recovery" which I also tried, but there passed the first hurdle, even if she says it should take 30 to 60 minutes.

    Advanced Options I can't use, because I'm not a user of advanced computing. It offers 3 options, although "Chkdsk", "Notepad" and "Command Prompt".

    Even when I put in the Windows 7 disc, it does nothing.

    This has all started after I had a few problems with the Sims 4 and since I changed my keyboard, but I don't know that could be the problem.

    Anyone with knowledge of this problem would be grateful.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Mojo,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    3. What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?

    I understand that you are unable to start your Windows 7 system. To prevent your system from automatically restart, try to access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. Select the option disable automatic error system reboot. Also, I suggest you try the following steps of diagnostics to verify if you are able to reach the office in one of the following modes methodical.

    Method 1:

    Please follow the underlying steps:

    Step 1. Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    Step 2 I would like to start your computer in last known good configuration.

    If method 1 does not work, go to method 2.

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: See "How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    If method 2 does not work, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    As you cannot start your computer at all, I suggest to run a Startup Repair to repair the damaged boot system files and try to boot into normal mode. See the section: How to use Startup Repair in the following link.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions

    If this does not help, try to boot from a disc to install Windows 7 on the Windows recovery environment mode and then try to run the Startup Repair tool and check if you are able to start normally.

    If the problem persists, proceed to method 4.

    Method 4:

    You can use the Bootrec.exe tool in the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment to troubleshoot and repair the following items in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    • A master boot record (MBR)

    • A boot sector

  • A Boot Configuration data (BCD) store

  • Note: When you are troubleshooting startup issues by using the Windows RE, you should first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If the Startup Repair option does not resolve the problem, or if you must troubleshoot more steps manually, use the Bootrec.exe

    I have HP desk top (bought 3 years ago) with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Today, after the regular windows updates, my PC has rebooted and showed me to the login to the accounts screen 2 user (both are protected by Word).

    When I clicked on any of these accounts, he was asked to enter the password and tried to connect.  But he couldn't and showed me back to 2 accounts login screen user.

    I rebooted my system several times, but the situation is the same.

    Please help me solve this.

    Thank you best regards &,.

    Hi Ludovic,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We apologize for the inconvenience caused due to updates.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1: When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Method 2: If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    Method 3: If after performing the above steps, you are able to start the computer and access the desktop then try to Uninstall KB3097877 update if it is installed, and then reinstall it.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
