• Configuration updates: stage 3 of 3 100% full, stuck in an endless loop

  I was installing the updates of windows and stuck in an endless loop in step 3 of 3-100% full. Do not turn off your computer. I tried a solution described in many forums like: press F8 and select Safe Mode and remove pending.xml but I always end upward with Configuration step 3 of 3 before I can still do something. I tried all kinds of Mode without failure and the Directory Services Restore Mode. Nothing works I don't know what else to do.

• Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in an endless loop

  It's a so detailed bug report please bear with me.
  If you can help, or can confirm that you have had the same thing happen to you, I will be grateful.

  I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I've even worked for Toshiba so worry, I like the machine. But I have a problem with his recovery software. I just bought a laptop Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I have to sometimes panic calls from field in the sense of "it became too slow", "How do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe he had a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was ASR, which is how to bring the HD to "like new" condition.

  So I started out in the machine, replied to the questions until I got in the appropriate operating system, then led the program "make a recovery DVD. Double layer DVD checked ok. With the freshly made DVDs, I swapped the HD for a spare part, I had (much less: only 40 GB instead of 320) and started the rescue DVD hoping it would fix my own system to the blank disc.

  He did repartition the drive according to its schema, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for the data, including the recovery files. He did install the system in the Windows partition. It was then restarted in Windows 7 installed in order to complete the installation. There, the trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until what I stopped it.

  Loop:
  * reset
  * black screen with bright logo 4 color windows «windows startup»
  * black screen with slight blade and "Setup prepares your computer for first use.
  * blue white screen "Welcome" with "please wait" and the crossbar with green blob, saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer! »
  * blue screen saying it stops

  Repeat the above forever.

  I saw him restart way more than 10 times over several hours. And whenever he's faking, that this is the first time she did it. Of course, this is not normal!

  I tried to stop with ctrl-alt-del and the Task Manager, but the white screen would go even the Task Manager, making it difficult to kill any process or even inspect what they were on top. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it shuts. Then when it restarts it said that if I wanted safe mode. I tried. He went into the routine above and at one point he says that he could not proceed with the installation, if it was in safe mode. So he restarted in normal mode and then...! It is finally out of the endless loop!

  Then he asked me all the usual language, record etc., questions as he did the first time I had turned on him. This seemed good. Finally, I walked into a newly installed operating system and everything seemed fine, except that I found out later that some programs that were there before were not installed.
  With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even Redid the procedure hard disk provided instead of my rescue: first I have nuked the windows partition, then I save the HD (with F8), not with the DVD that I had done. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboot.

  After that I stopped it, it kind-of-worked, as above, but now some programs were lacking, such as the Toshiba DVD drive.

  (*) motivated by: better try now with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, that when the computer died at home of its owner, and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a line call. Been there before.

  Now, that specific (DVD player), that I could download it from the support page and it installed fine. But what else might be missing or not working not that I have not noticed? The restore process is clearly not working as it should.

  I'm the first or only to whom it happens? I'm doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should try?

  I need to make sure that the restore procedure works perfectly while I still have the computer in my hands. If not, there is no chance that I'll be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie, once I asks me to clean the laptop by phone a few months from now.

  Thanks in advance

  [Update: just looking for the right place where I could post what I found that other people report the same problem.] This is definitely a bug in the software distributed for W7 - 64 overlay, not a problem isolated to my machine. See for example
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&TSTART=0 where the user kwarc described the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I could recover my trouble free unit.
  The installation of Win 7 went well and everything has been installed correctly.

  Back to you:
  To me it looks like something wrong with installation maybe some HARD drive partitions were confues perhaps, HARD drive should again formatted, and then run the recovery procedure.
  You should test

  Regarding the DVD player:
  As much as I know there is no DVD player for Win 7 64 bit. There are only available for Win 64 bit updated. If you need to install the DVD player for Win 7 32 bit version and then update using the patch released for Win7 64 bit.

• BlueScreen reads "stuck in an endless loop device driver.

  I have no knowledge of computers at all. I've had my laptop for about 18 months, I bought new online while living in London and he had this issue basically since the beginning, but I was a coward and didn't try to get it fixed on the warranty.

  She turns on and work for a random delay (sometimes 10 minutes and up to 2 hours) then all of a sudden the screen turns blue, and he reads a lot of numbers (I can get these and write them if necessary) and States "device driver stuck in a junkyard of endless memory loop beginning physics, manufacturer contact to update on the device...". »

  I have no idea what that means or what I need to do / who I should ask etc.
  Can someone tell me please?

  Hello!

  It's not easy to say what the problem is.

  First of all, what laptop do you have exactly?

  In your situation, I would first check the RAM. There are special tools and do always with Memtest86.
  You can download an ISO image to burn on a CD from [www.memtest86.com]
  Boot from the CD and test your memory RAM, maybe, you will get errors.

  You can also reinstall Windows with the recovery disk. It could be a software problem or driver.

  If you have any other questions, I'll try to help you.

  Good bye

• Vista Home Premium stuck in an endless loop

  My Sony VAIO came with Vista Home Premium loaded and is now stuck in endless mode.

  When I turn on the system it starts with Windows icon, followed by the VAIO logo and then jumps immediately to «Configuring updates step 3 of 3» It freezes it for awhile and then restarts and the cycle starts again.

  I managed to get to the point where I was able to select Safe Mode, and everything what was jump to screen, "stage 3 of 3 ' (but this time with a large font). Then it rebooted again and returned to the ususal reboot cycle.

  I left the system about 3 hours and he will continue to do this constantly.

  Apart from use as a boat anchor, I am willing to try anything. Suggestions?

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

   

  If Safe Mode does not work and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

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

• HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfiMFP: stuck in an endless loop of the initialization of the

  First of all, the printer screen is blue with hp logo.  Then he briefly turns to purple and Green ready light and orange the exclamation mark flash.  Then it says Initializing while two lights continue to Flash.  The loan appears briefly, and then he said: printing and sounds like it is printing, but no paper comes out.  Then it starts again. And if I try to send a document from my laptop to the printer, it says, "Printer error state."

  The printer warranty has expired.  I hope you can help!  Thank you in advance!

  You have probably a bad job trying to print from the computer that confuses the printer each time that the printer is ready and starts the sequence.  Unplug the printer from the computer and see if the printer is ready when you turn it on.  If he made, go to the computer and click on the printer to make it appear that is printing and delete all print jobs, turn off the computer and then turn it back on and reconnect the printer and everything should be ok.  I assume that no other computer is turned on and print on this printer.  If this is not the case turn off other computers.

• Satellite C660 stuck in an infinite loop of BSOD after upgrade to win 10

  Wow what a disaster, this is a machine under windows 7-32 bit Satellite C660 PSC1GA-01E01M stuck in an infinite loop of BSOD.

  The lappy said that it was ok to upgrade to windows 10 so... Yes, I did.
  Now its stuck in a loop without end of BSOD.

  So I decided to use the recover option and reinstall windows 7 and then move from there.
  After mega downloads updates and finally got to the stage where there was no update on the left to get, so I decided to upgrade to windows 10 even once.

  Now stuck in an endless loop of BSOD again.

  Can someone point me to the driver who is a failure, I can get into SafeMode ok, Device Manager has 2 problems

  (1) is under OTHER DEVICES is an unknown device
  (2) is generic pnp monitor

  I tried from Toshiba Web site for updates of drivers for 32-bit windows 8 thinking this could be the best step but the links are bad and the page Web said sorry loser at home...

  Also no network, if I try to logging for the safe mode with networking, he returned to the screens of BSOD...

  HELP PLEASE

  Toshiba has released a list with all Toshiba models supported for upgrading to Windows 10
  http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

  Satellite C660 PSC1GA is not in the list, which means that this model is not supported to win 10 and will not get win 10 drivers.

  However the Win 10 must run on this device, because it meets the essential physical requirements.

  I guess the BSOD loop arise due to some drivers which are not entirely compatible Win 10 and probably these drivers must be removed before making the Win 10 update.

  To check the compatibility follow this procedure:

  • Right-click on the icon 'Get Windows 10' (on the right side of the taskbar), then click on "Check the status of your upgrade".
  • In the app to get Windows 10, click on the menu: (3 lines) and then click on "Check your PC.
  • Now you should see the list of compatibility issues

  Also this kind of problem could be fixed by Microsoft update, as mentioned in this article:

  Hello

  1 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

  If you were able to start your computer normally by using the system restore, then refer to the following method, and try to update your windows.

  Method 2: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

• My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

  original title: I have the same problem posted by Don Gagen on 16 April. My computer is stuck in a boot loop indefinitely after downloading the Vista updates.

  I installed some updates Vista Home Basic important for my laptop on Wednesday, and since then, my computer won't start. I get to the first page of Windows that shows "Configuration updates 0% complete" for about 15 seconds and then restart the machine. This loop continues indefinitely. I spoke to the manufacturer (Dell) who say there have been some recent problems with the update service, and I have to pay (£69) to address this problem. I don't really want to pay for a repair, when the problem does not seem to have been caused by me or my computer. I tried all the options from the start menu, but there seems to be no way to solve this problem, for example, in 'Safe' Mode, the problem persists, and 'Last successful login' does not work either. It will not launch command prompt. I ran Dell diagnostic check before extended initialization and there seems to be nothing wrong with the hardware. I have no disks system of re - install Vista (and that I would lose all my data anyway). I can also access the ID of the license of Vista. The computer is no longer under warranty, and I have no agreement to support hardware or software for it.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion.

  I installed the KB980182 update a few weeks ago. After doing so my computer is starting in an endless loop, restart after step «Setting up your computer for windows» Last known good configuration, safe mode, etc., all have no effect. I tried to return the actions pending with dism, which seems to fill sucusfully, but had no effect on my problem. Someone at - it ideas?

  No, it's not my problem.

  As I said, it is not a case of a virus or malware. I understand that you probably experience a lot of people who claim to be knowledgeable in what they do and therefore don't use protection programmes and eventually damage their system, but this isn't the problem here. I work as a security researcher and I know if my system is infected or not. It is not the case.

• PC crashed and got stuck in a reboot loop

  Hello, we have a Dell Inspiron 531, and this morning, he had a big crash and then got stuck in a boot loop, blue screen and trying to fix the system. My OH stop it manually. The only change made to the computer of yesterday has been an update to iTunes.

  I just tried to start safe mode and he just tried to restart again and showed a blue screen with a stop error message - I think as a 000000008.  I tried startup repair and he attempted repairs for a few minutes and has now arrived to the top with a message "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. Here are the details:
  Signature of the problem:

  Then, there was a message saying remove all devices that have been recently joined. But it is not all delete.
  Some background info-

  There was a problem with the graphics card driver, causing a blue screen (code 116) shortly after the start to the top. In summer, we opened the folder and emptied all the dust, and he stopped the problem. However, he's back. I bought another graphics card, but have not had the opportunity to install again.

  There is also a problem with Windows Update. He has mysteriously stopped working in mid-October.  He attempted to verify updates and then gives an error code 80070005. I started to try to solve this problem a few weeks ago looking for malware. A scan with Kaspersky Internet Security found nothing, but when I run the Microsoft Safety Scanner it finds three feats of Java. He eliminated two and partially removed the other. I always try to get rid completely of partially removed but did not have a lot of time this week to look at it, and the computer seems to be working ok otherwise.

  I also had problems trying to update Adobe Reader recently (' error writing to the file C:\Config...) Make sure you have access to this directory").  I don't know if these things are connected. But thought it would be better to talk about.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.
