Vista - after installing SP1 computer does not.

Have a laptop with Vista.  After several months of trying to download & install SP1 and failing repeatedly (connection problems - too many wireless phones, etc. in the area) I finally took the computer to my home, got ' weak ' neighbor, successfully downloaded the MS, began installing and I'm not clear if it was completely installed or not.  I guess that this is a not restart (not stopped?) when installing as I was warned.  I came back to a blank black screen and it will not shut off/down and it will not also power upward.  Help!

Hello

Thanks for the reply.

The error message is not clear. What is the exact full error message?

Try these methods.

Method 1

Try to start in last good known Configuration and see if you can start very well.

    Original title: user profile

There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    Hello

    When I tried to launch the Win 7 Service pack 1 update, it 'impossible' and now I can't start my computer, even in safe mode. When I turn it on, no matter what I do (including let it run or by pressing F8) results in the message:

    "For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.0 (15/12/09)
    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE - ROM
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key ".

    i.e., I can't go to the start menu.

    The only thing I can access is the utility Boot screen by pressing F12. Experience with Service packs, I'm trying to access the system restore to undo the update, but I can't get there.

    Win 7 came preinstalled on my computer and my computer was working fine before I tried to install SP1, so all the solutions / advice would be much appreciated!

  • No sound on Vista after installing SP1/SP2 with Realtek

    Hello.

    I encountered a strange problem on the computer of my parents-in-law office. After an installation of SP1 (and later SP2) no sound stereo speakers that is connected to the computer to an outlet.

    The computer is an Acer Aspire T180 with a built-in audio device Realtek HD (5.1, but the connected speakers are two standard PC speakers), and the operating system is Vista. Before installing SP1, the sound was working properly, and absolutely no software or hardware changes have been completed.

    My troubleshooting so far include:

    -Tested with a helmet and another pair of speakers that I know works

    -I have obviously checked that nothing is cut in all available parameters, or speakers

    -Tried each input/output on the back of the computer, as well as on the front

    -Checked in "output devices" that the speakers are connected and checked by default device

    -Tried the two codecs/drivers available here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/desktop/aspire_t180.html

    -Tried the drivers of avaiable supplied directly from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

    -Uninstalled Realtek everything (both in the Device Manager and programs) and let Vista automatically install the original drivers

    -Disabled the 'digital output device (s/PDIF)"which is in the list of devices in output/game

    -Unchecked the 'detect connection on the front"in Realtek audio manager program

    -In addition, SP2 has been installed, which did not help. In addition, I tried every setting available, uninstalled/installed and so on. During music playback (or test tones Realtek or Windows sounds) all is apparently looking for OK with indicators of volume, jumping up and down, but everything is quiet.

    So I'm out of ideas and cannot understand this. I am very grateful for any help and advice. Thank you!

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • After installation, my computer does not detect my Laserjet 1536dbf network and I can't print

    I installed my printer on my home network. Now, my computer can not detect so I can't print.

    I noticed that the printer indicates a different IP address that the router assigns to him and which is visible on the router configuration Web page. Reset of the printer and my router has no effect.

    I had to reset my router a few days due to a failure in broadband. Could be the cause of the problem?

    It turns out that reset the router after the failure in broadband, the other day off the ethernet port to which the printer is conncected. It's strange because the previous resets did not do that.

    Thanks for your help.

    PS! I had the laptop that works on Ubuntu berfore, worked well.

    Hello

    Have you updated XP SP2 or SP3? I m wondering that you only use the SP1 and you need to update. SP2 or later is required for some pilot applications and software.

    And where did you downloaded the Atheros driver? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site. The portal of WLAN, you can find the latest drivers:

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!
