Hi Ad-HocHelp,
(1) since when are you facing this problem?
(2) remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?
Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.
If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then get any drivers\software update for the device.
Step 2: Run the Startup Repair tool, follow the steps mentioned in the link below to access the system recovery tools.
How to access the System Recovery Options menu?
Run the tool to restart system as shown in the link below
How to use Startup Repair?
Thanks and greetings

I have a desktop Dell Vista computer. A few days earlier, when I pressed the power button to turn it on, nothing happened. When I turned on the monitor, he says that he came into power saving mode. When I checked the monitor once again, he said that there is no entry for the computer and press any key of the keyboard or mouse to wake up.
The computer is plugged in and the green light in the back is on. I don't remember putting the computer to sleep. I thought I made a stop for a few days in advance. Press and hold the power button on the computer does not start it or turn it off. There is no sound (such as a fan). I unplugged the computer briefly a few times, and then I finally unplugged overnight and is plugged in. Light lights up in the back, but is not the "num lock" key on the keyboard and the light under the mouse does not light.
I checked a few suggestions on this site, but they all require that the computer be on and you enter in this form or the screen. Is the computer dead?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
There seems to be a problem with the hardware, I suggest you to contact Dell support on this subject.

(Vista) computer does not start properly (Please HELP)
My guarded vista stop without known reason. He started up the main login screen and I could connect. After that so long it would just turn off. I did a system restore, system repair at startup and F8 pressed and is entered in safe mode. Now, I have a new problem. He worked for a few hours. Enough to do a bit of homework. Then suddenly it disconnects and begins to do the updates for windows. Then it goes to a black screen and tells me what he planned for a clean disk. So he goes through this process and restarts. Now it is impossible to get pass Part 3 of 3 updates and it just stays at 0%. He will remain on this page for about a minute and just keeps restarting itself. I tried F8 again and cannot get into safe mode. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER HELP ME! (PS: now I use my laptop which is a XP!) Help, please!

Hello
Did you change your computer?
This problem occurs if the (LLTD) link layer topology discovery Responder component is not installed on the Windows XP computer.
Network card in Windows Vista makes network diagrams of connections between network devices that can be used to troubleshoot connectivity issues. Network map uses a discovery protocol called Link-Layer Topology LLTD (Discovery) that queries other devices on the network to determine how the network is organized.
Windows Vista includes the software components that implement the LLTD protocol. For other devices on the network to display on the map, they must activate a discovery protocol that can meet the demands of mapping from the Windows Vista-based computer.
I suggest you to install the update on windows XP.

If restore work not 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.

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.

Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

Help! My computer does not start
My computer does not start. I get a message about missing files. What can I do?
You may be able to perform a startup repair.
Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged, that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.
Startup Repair is located in the System Recovery Options menu, which is located on the Windows Vista installation disc. If your computer manufacturer has preinstalled the recovery options, Startup Repair can also be installed on your hard drive. If your computer does not have the Startup Repair, your computer manufacturer can have customized or replaced the tool. See the documentation provided with your computer or go to the manufacturer's Web site.
Please see the following site for more information on using Startup Repair:

Hello
I replaced the power supply with a CX550M of Corsair, increased memory by exchanging the 4 GB to 8 GB for a 16 GB total, I added a hybrid 2 TB Seagate HDD and all worked fine until yesterday, about 1 month.

Any idea what this problem could be? Would it be a bad power supply?
