  • Zip code FF at the start, restart of the extremities as stuck at Windows startup

    No experience with the material for PC here. I am grateful to anyone who can help me understand this. I turn on the computer and I immediately get a position FF code and no display on monitor. I press the restart button and zip code will run successfully through all of the sequences up to FF, and I get a screen of the bios and an option to either do the startup repair or support Windows 7 normally.

    If I choose the repair, I get nothing but a black screen.

    If I choose Normal, the computer restarts (performs postal codes) and then gets stuck at Windows startup.

    This allows me to access the configuration of the Bios via LED

    Can you give me an idea if I can and how to fix it?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    According to my research, this problem may occur if the settings in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) are changed. You can check the suggestions by macbionik.com , December 13, 2010 and check if this is useful to resolve the issue.

    Laptop hangs at Classpnp.sys file.

    Note:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. Contact the hardware manufacturer for more information on changing the settings in the BIOS.

    If the suggestions provided in the post above fails to solve the problem, run the diagnostic tool memory mode WINRE and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

    the password should be available).

  • Lost start menu / no. icons on bottom / cannot start in safe mode / can not use windows fix option

    After a restart of my computer I have more a start menu bar or icons on my background.  Things seem to work ok most of the time, but my pc hangs on the blue screen more than before.

    I tried to reset my computer to a previous point of reset but my help and support option does not work and when I use the option in the advanced start-up splash screen it appears that it nothing happens because I find myself with the same State of no start bar or the desktop icons.

    I also tried to start my computer in safe mode, but it hangs and never completes the operation.

    My computer came with an installation disk ever because he has been on a hidden HD (Dell 9200) partition but I can't access it because during startup, it hangs at the same place as my safe mode option blocks so I can't use the windows fix option.

    Can anyone think of anything I can do to fix this?  I got it to work by removing the file Explorer in my window of Task Manager running it again, but this seems to be a symptom of a larger problem because I get the blue screen.

    It is up to you and if you want to wait. You still need a hard disk physically viable well. Maybe you want to just wait and then break the RAID 0, treat readers as being separate and test with the diagnostic utility before installing Win7. You do a clean install anyway.

    I'm really happy with Win7. Just make sure you have the drivers for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Laptop freezes on Windows startup screen (start)

    Freezes my laptop Envy15-3000 starting up.  It makes only to the Windows startup screen and then icons Microsoft stop moving.  This has happened since Tuesday (8/12).  I ran checks and the memory and hard drive (quick and full) test came back positive - i.e. without problems.  I finally decided to reformat yesterday (8/14).  He gets throughout the process of reformating until he wants to start the system for the "first time" (I guess this will be the last time it restarts in the recovery process) and always freezes on Windows startup screen.  If I try to hard cock off and try any other start up option I can think (Safe Mode, etc.), it says failed to retrieve and asks me to try again, get the details or Save Log.  When I try again, it goes back to freezing.  Therefore, I am now in an endless loop of another attempt of the retrieve to access the windows screen start freezing.

    All I want to do is wipe the hard drive and reload everything.  I'm not interested to recover the old data I backed everything up.  I have had no error messages on my sleeve it, memory, tests etc, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed.  Help, please!  Thank you.

    PS: I have the original 7 provided with the system recovery/windows DVD player.

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software offerings when you install ImgBurn) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • My computer guard direct me to the Windows Startup Repair loop. Is this a virus? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    OK, here's a little history:
    When was surfing the Internet (using Mozilla Firefox), he froze and said that he "did not." Then I left the computer alone for a good 15 minutes, but to realize that nothing happened. From there, I decided to disconnect the computer to see if I can re - open Firefox. But when I tried to connect it back, the computer take me on the desk. It was stuck at the screen that says 'Welcome' (the form that appears after clicking on your user name) in the end, I turned off the computer by holding the power button, because there was nothing I could do. When I turned on the computer a few minutes later, it was time that I met a huge problem.

    The problem:
    When I turned it back on, a black screen appears that gives you the ability to boot your system with a repair on your computer, or start normally. I chose "start normally. After that, it took me a blue screen with a window that says "Startup Repair". He began to scan the computer saying «attempted repairs...» "When I saw this, I turned immediately shut down the computer, thinking it was some sort of virus that pretends to fix the computer. Nevertheless, I decided to turn it on for the second time. Of course, it's the same thing. But this time, I allow the scanning process to complete. When it was over, he said that the system could not be repaired and advised me to contact Microsoft, with my "contact information." I took this as a red flag, and click Cancel. I suspected it was an attempt to identity theft. (Though, I could be wrong, of course.)

    Honestly, I don't know if if there is indeed something wrong with the computer or if it's a virus.

    I tried to find out by going online and looking for solutions. From there, I tried a method where you press F8 several times until the Advanced Boot Options go up and selected "Last known Configuration" that did not work. I also heard on the "chkdsk" method, but I don't know how to do and there is no guarantee this will work.

    After that, I did more research and realized there were several ways to solve this problem. But when I went through the tutorials, the steps have been very confusing to me. I felt like most of these tutorials aimed computer technicians or people who knew in fixing computers. The steps were so confused until I found myself referring more questions than real answers!

    So now I'm reaching out to help, and I really need! It would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to format all my data.

    Please keep in mind that I am a lover of computers operating. The two programs I normally use are Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Word. So please don't be assuming that I know my way in and out of a computer. I'm no where near, in every sense of the term, an 'Expert '. If you can, I would like a simple, easy to follow, simple tutorial, step by step, which is not turned to professional users. Still, I am not very competent in operating computers.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to 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.

    Ask them if you can also make 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.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to remove a windows boot option?

    Hi, when I start my computer I gives me an option of x 2 Windows 7 startup options. But I don't have Windows installed on my computer on drive c. drive D is empty. I tried disk cleanup, and there is nothing to clean up. I lived on C drive and there is no other option window. Even when I insert the Windows CD installation at boot only 1 Windows installation shows so I don't know why I have an option of x 2 Windows at startup? I tried to click the other option, and an error shows and returns me to the choice of 2 facilities once again.

    To manually remove an entry in the Windows Start menu:

    Type MSCONFIG in the box files and research programs of Windows 7, then press the Enter key.  When the System Configuration window opens, click on the Startup tab, click the entry you want to delete, and then click Remove, and then click the button apply.

    When you are unable to manually remove a boot entry, you can use EasyBCD to modify the start menu in Windows 7, it allows you to edit the startup entries.
    EasyBCD (use the free version):

    My laptop is stuck on the screen whenever I turn it on. I tried to run in the vault makes it incapable of doing, I ran several restorations system and repairs to the system each which say 'not found no problem' or say a reboot is required, and then it gets stuck on the screen start up again. The windows symbol fades in and out, but the loading icon does not appear.

    I would appreciate any help with what options I have this result in minimum files lost, thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem may occur because of damaged or missing Windows startup files.

    As repair and restore failed, I suggest you run bootrec commands and check if that helps.
    Refer to this article:
    Use Bootrec.exe in the WINRE to resolve startup problems

    I hope this information helps.
