Vista does not start after power failure

It is a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista 32 - bit, recently replaced hard drive

My daughter has been using the computer and the power failed due to low battery.  Now, the computer does not start normally and not all programs will run.

If I choose "safe mode", it hangs on crcdisk
If I choose 'window start normally' it crashes to the screen of Microsoft Corporation
If I choose "last known good configuration" then it seems to start normally, but does not all programs run.

I tried to boot from the OS disk, but it ignores the entire disk
I tried to run the installation disk once the computer is running, but it freezes.

Need solutions.  Thank you.

Hello Bakajanaidesu,

Thank you for posting.  It seems that you have a hardware error or failure with your hard drive.  In this case, I recommend that you contact your Dell technical support for more information on how to correct this problem.

Please let me know if I can be more useful. Zack

  • Reference Dell R710 does not start after power failure

    Hello, I tried to find answers on the forum but nothing so far

    I have this R710 at home that I use as a media server, it was working fine before a power outage the other night (no I don't have a UPS :-(

    When the power returned, I noticed one of lighting power supply has been turned off, so I took it out of the unit, but the unit still won't turn.

    I still have a so-called good food because the small green LED on the motherboard lights, and I can access the iDRAC, this feature, I didn't before the net Searchin' for answers, I'm kind of a novice with the servers.

    When I access the iDRAC, on the power supply page, I see nothing, no power supply listed.

    Is it possible that a diet might be "half bad", enough to work the emergency circuits but not the power outlet?

    Symptoms:

    Camera lights.

    Can access the functions of the Idrac, but doesn't do anything if I try to activate it via the tasks "quick launch".

    Power supplies are not visible on the pages of the Idrac.

    Display before work.

    Server was very well just before a power failure which took one of the PSU

    The remaining 870 PSU has the green light on, and the fan works for 2 seconds every time I cut the power it.

    Thanks for any help.

    OK, well... no answers.

    I found a place locally that sold a diet so I arrived with my server, I told them I would buy the power supply that I confirm that the fault was in fact the power supply.

    Well, you know, the unit started correctly with the new power supply, now in IDRAC, I see both power supplies but on that faulty, he reads "present, entry lost.

    So the answer is YES, a power supply may be defective, even if the green light is on.

  • Windows XP SP3 does not start after power failure

    I've known a sequence of power failure while my computer was on. When the power was restored, I couldn't boot into Windows. Windows stops before loading the Welcome screen and hangs. I tried in "Safe Mode" and "Restore Point", but always impossible to load up to 'user account screen '. I am running XP SP3.

    I tried recovery of original windows CD. No joy. I ran chkdsk with the option/r several times and fixboot as well, without success. Help, please!

    Just type fixmbr at the command prompt in Recovery Console.

    This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs).

    Vista ultimate is available. Read the information in the lower part of the message on how to use it for other editions of Vista:

    ___________________________________

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    ___________________________________

    Most manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks, but you may be lucky with your manufacturer.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • Vista does not start after I disabled the service DCOMLauncher

    Hi all.   I really hope that someone can help me with this, because I can't use my computer at all, and I have to use a notebook different to write this post.

    The problem: Windows Vista does not start with the normal settings or Mode without failure.   To be more precise, after Vista starts, he has only a black screen and a limited mouse functionality.

    The background & problem: I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.   I have disabled the DCOMLauncher Service using the program Autoruns from Sysinternal.

    What I tried: I tried to start Vista in Mode safe with no result.

    Thanks to all those who are trying to help me.

    When you choose Safe Mode choose last known good startup.

    As long as your subsequent boots are deemed unsuccessful, which is perhaps not the case, this will start the configuration before using Autoruns.

    Safe Mode command prompt works?

  • Computer does not start after power surge

    My laptop is not able to restart after a cocoralie energy cut. Safe mode request a CD of Installation, but I don't have it. I have just my product key of Windows Vista Home Premium OEM law. What can I do?  I tried to get help from the Microsoft page, but they ask a number of identification, all I have my product key, but seems it is not the same... Help!  I fear for my files.

    If vista was preinstalled, you are not free Support Ms.

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

    Try this remedy:

    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 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.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    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.

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

    Data recovery:

    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.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    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.

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

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

  • Photosmart HP 6510 B211a works does not properly after power failure

    Hi guys,.

    I'm new to this forum, but I hope someone can help me.

    I have a HP all in one Photosmart B211a 6510, which worked like a dream, since I had last winter. We had an unexpected outage yesterday however and once the power came back, the printer insists on the fact that there is no ink in the system. I fear the worst and believe that his brain can be somewhat blurred.

    I have two of your ink cartridges replaced last week with genuine HP ones and everything was fine. My ink level is almost low on the other two, but I have not replaced these yet because it is not necessary.

    Once the power came back, the printer informed me that the magenta ink was 'missing or damaged '. I removed the cartridge, cleaned with distilled water and dry. Once replaced, the printer has changed his mind and told me all the ink cartridges are now 'missing or damaged '. When I opened the printer again, the transport of ink is automatically did not move as usual to allow me to change or remove the cartridges.

    More the touch screen of the printer does not allow me to leave this error message or perform any other function such as cleaning the heads. I tried a soft reset and hard reset, but this proved unsuccessful.

    He's tired? Should I just throw it and head to the stores again?

    Thanks for reading this,

    Fatiha

    Hi rich,

    I replaced the cartridge magenta yesterday and my printer works successfully again! Woohoo!

    My father, an electrician, so between us we have come to the conclusion that when the power came back after the crash there was an electric pick or insufficient tension than normal and this has damaged the chip of the nearest power - the magenta cartridge ink.

    All is well again in any case.

    Thanks for your help - I appreciate it

  • Vista does not start after BIOS flash

    I recently flashed my BIOS for my Presario SR5152NX by Vista after having downloaded the file directly following from the HP site:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-66758-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=3436821&OS=2093&lang=en

    He seemed fine, because he then asked me to restart my PC, I did.

    When it restarts, BIOS seems to be fine but once, he's trying to get into windows Vista, it will NOT start, and instead, I get a BSOD with the following STOP error message:

    STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF789E640, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

    I tried searching for this error, but I do not get a clear answer to what it means.

    In addition, by choosing 'use last known Configuration' always produces the error, and I can't get in any security mode in the start menu.

    I can't enter in Vista, please help.

    I have solved my problem, but please keep this up for the other reference...

    It turns out that the error has to do with a "BOOT DEVICE" error. Once I read that I feared it might be a faulty drive. This was not the case.

    It seems that after the BIOS has been flashed, he changed the order of loading on my readers, and so it hurts than as a master. I guess expected Vista are on it and wrong. What I had to do was go in the motherboard configuration by pressing F10 on the diagnostic screen, and I had to spend my disk drive to configure the Vista disc as the main (has priority on the others), using the + and - keys on the numeric keypad.

    EUREKA, now charge well Vista again and the BIOS is updated correctly.
