  • Screen hangs on the Satellite A30-931 - perhaps the Bios may be damaged

    Hello

    Sometimes the screen of my laptop freezes and the only way to restart is to restart my laptop.
    However this morning, after that my screen has crashed the resumption of hibernation, I found that I couldn't start my computer.
    I was getting a blank screen which was not illuminated. DVD player responded, the fan worked and the computer was not over heating.

    Finally, after several minutes of waiting, I was able to start windows. However, when the screen went white, before Windows Welcome screen appears, it crashed. Later, I was able to load windows, but the screen froze while he was always load the settings.

    There is little time, I entered the bios and after 4 minutes and 25 seconds, lines and purple small flickering blocks appeared on the screen and I couldn't do anything. The bios clock gave midnight 01/01/2002, so I think he may have corrupted.

    I find my bios which is 1.7 - PSA33E. However it seems to be a bios of windows installer only. Would it be possible to boot from the CD drive or should it XP is running, to make it work? I don't think I can get into XP quite a long time to execute and then Flash the bios, without the screen freezing first.

    Concerning

    InfoMan

    Hello

    I don t think and I don t believe that the BIOS is damaged or malfunctions could

    You description is sounds more like a graphics card problem.
    Perhaps any other part of the motherboard could be too faulty. Who knows, we can only speculate

    You said it must wait a bit until the cell phone would be lights up once more, this looks more like an overheating problem.

    Usually there is no much to see the technician must check all components of the laptop. In the worst case the mobo must be replaced because the graphics card is fixed and cannot be removed separately.

    But before you contact the ASP test to clean the fans of s for laptop
    A jet of compressed air is a useful tool to get rid of dust and debris.

    If it does not then the ASP technician you are last resort then I wish you a good luck mate

  • HP Pavilion p6-2069sc: computer hangs during the HP splash screen

    Hello.

    I plug an ASUS GeForce GTX STRIX 750Ti to use in my Pavilion P6 - 2069sc, but when I start the computer after installing my GPU, the screen hangs on the blue HP startup screen.

    When I try to hit the ESC key to enter the BIOS or any other keys it comes just a beep of the machine.

    It is a long beep every 20 seconds or so from the computer.

    When I use the integrated graphics card, everything works as they should.

    I already upgraded to 550W 300W POWER supply

    Because your computer has been manufacturer Sept 2011, there Legacy BIOS.  The latest vBIOS UEFI was initiated at the HP units at end of 2012.  That said, either you stay with a Legacy BIOS GPU card, or choose a dual hybrid card BIOS.  The GTX 660, or GTX 670, all of which are two high-end of the legacy card would be far superior to the GTX 750Ti.   All the current hype is looking for a lower quality card, the 750Ti, based on the more low power and some GTX offering a BIOS hybrid via Select manufacturer. The Asus could not be hybrids, as you can testify.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-GTX-660/specifications

    Based on your existing new POWER Pack, (hopefully a quality unit), 660 GTX would be good.  In my humble OPINION, an EVGA GTX 660 is better based on your power supply of the system. Please call EVGA for re - check a Legacy BIOS.

    PS I have a EVGA GTX 660 and 670 in my BIOS Legacy of <>towers.  I tried an ASUS, but he did not have an ASUS motherboard. Strange, but ASUS check the fault has his own card. Cost me $50 return shipping cost, so Please check with any manufcacturer.

    For people who use Flash Builder and who know how to look under the hood and find the blackberry-airpackager command that distributes when you do a debug version: to debug this launch is built successfully

  • Windows XP hangs at the splash screen (logo). Dim screen when hooked.

    I do have problems starting XP 2 on two different hard drives.  I'm more concerned at this time is described in the title.  I bought a new hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320) to back up the data on my old hard drive, due to the other XP startup problem and installed Windows XP Home edition, as well as my motherboard drivers, etc..  It starts very well, at first, but then started a curtain to the start screen (and the splash screen is very low in this case).  I tried to remove some additional applications provided with the motherboard, no luck.  I tried to reinstall XP several times, and who has not helped.  I tried to update my video driver, running chkdsk, running Windows Memory Diagnostic (which does no problem), cleaning the registry with Advanced System Care Pro, unplug all USB devices and network cable, etc.  He continues to hang at the splash screen (weakly).  When I try to start in safe mode, it hangs at "mup.sys.  So far, I'm able to get XP to start by repeated restart later...  I searched the web to find a solution for this and have found no definitive answer.  I just ordered another new hard drive and Windows 7.  I intend to dual boot with windows 7 the new HD and XP on the current disc (assuming that this problem can be solved!).

    My other problem is on my old sister Hitachi 160 GB IDE hard drive.  A few months, our PC stop working.  After buying a new power supply (Corsair TX650w) and determine that he was not a power supply problem, I bought a new motherboard (GA-MA785GT-UD3H), (AMD Phenom II X 2 555 3.2 Ghz) CPU, RAM (CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333), and some new fans (old system died due to heat issues).  Once I had it put in place and I tried to boot XP from my old drive, he just went in a "boot loop".  He gets to the XP splash screen, goes black and restarts, again and again.  I tried setting the installation of XP with XP CD 3 or 4 times, without success.  This question is not as big of a deal to me now, because I now have the new hard drive with the new number to start XP (intermittent).  My main goal with the old hard drive was to save all my data.  That is, life turns on if I can't start XP on this drive (the one with the boot loop).

    Thank you for your time!

    The BIOS update has * seems * solved the problem!  I rebooted it 4 or 5 times, but also completely off the PC and it starts today.  Did not repeat the problem so far!
