Vista fails to start

I can not safe mode it stops of goes straight to windows error recovery. I tried to run the Startup Repair, but it does'nt full. It just comes up with start up repair is unable to repair the computer automatically. It is not connected to the internet at the moment so will try that, but I suspect a fan needs replaicing since it looks really not good and do not want to take the risk of burning all the components. What do you propose to rsolve startup failure here

Hi Mark,

1. What is the exact error message you are getting?

2. were there any changes made to the computer before the show?

Please disconnect any external devices connected to the computer except keyboard, mouse and monitor and check if you are able to boot.

NOTE: Before reinstalling Windows, you should be prepared for the worst scenarios that led to your existing data on your computer being deleted. These data include data personal, settings, information about the hardware and software drivers. You need to reinstall all programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before you start the installation.

If you are suspecting that the problem is related to hardware, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer or store local tech to diagnose the hardware components of your computer.

  • Vista fails to start... Black screen!


    • Hello

      I have Toshiba Satellite laptop which came with pre-installed windows Vista.

      It has worked fine until today. Now when I try to start the power light comes on and I hear the HD work but there is no movement on the screen. Its black (just like it was when the laptop is turned off).

      The F8 key did not help either!

      Ive downloaded the restore disc but failed to get the system to boot from the CD because I don't know how to change the BIOS settings!

    Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
    on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

    A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
    Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide

  • Vista fails to start on mv61xx.sys, error 0xc0000221

    My system suddenly no longer starts. The good news is: I managed to fix it and put the solution below, so that anyone can benefit from. The bad news is that the Vista recovery has some (at least for me) unexplained oddities that I'd like to get an answer to. So, lets describe.

    Symptom:

    -The PC stops in the process of starting with a critical failure. Fault that it displays "mv61xx.sys" says it also displays 0xc0000221 error code

    -mv61xx.sys is related to a driver SATA/IDE of Marvel. The error code is related to a Windows driver cannot load, is not present or because it is corrupt.

    Solution:

    -Reset CMOS on the motherboard (Asus P5Q) using the CMOS jumper, remove the CMOS battery and remove the power cord to reset.

    Remarks: (follow the questions below):

    -Note that the solution is nowhere about the problem that Vista has reported. Vista has indicated that it cannot load a driver for some, because it is missing or damaged.

    -Recovery of starting Windows (via the installation DVD) has not solved the problem.  It indicates the fault 0xc0000221 code (probably found it in a log file) and suggests using a previous system restore point to cure the problem. Has done this, but the problem had not gone away.

    -Then, I decided to use the recovery console. The "sfc/scannow" command did not complete, it gave an error. I googled the problem and found that this error can be bypassed by giving sfc additional parameters: "sfc/SCANNOW damaged = C: \ /OFFWINDIR =" C:\WINDOWS "

    -sfc reported no problem. So it's weird: boot Vista reports that a driver file is missing or damaged, but sfc has no problem

    - As an experiment, in the recovery console, I've renamed the driver mv61xx.sys (in C:\windows\system32\drivers) in mv61xx.bak. I restarted my PC. The behavior is different: this time the 0xc0000221 error does not appear, it just went to a black screen. Which makes me think that Vista was previously able to load the driver for mv61xx.sys, otherwise the error reported would be the same.

    -Then I started from DVD, check if sfc was able to detect that I deleted the driver mv61xx.sys (renaming). I ran sfc and... sfc reported no problems, nothing has been repaired.

    So my questions boil up to:

    -Why Vista report a problem with a corrupted driver or missing mv61xx.sys while the symptoms above strongly suggest that the problem lies elsewhere

    -Why the SFC command in recovery console does not repair the mv61xx.sys driver that I have renamed in mv61xx.bak.

    Thank you. Roland.

    (for the answer to the problem, please see the first post in this thread)

    Hi Lorien,

    first of all, thank you for your quick response. BTW, I was unable to boot from the HARD drive when 0xc0000221 error, I found myself stuck in the middle of the boot process, in a black screen with white characters. The only way I could try the recovery was starting from my Vista installation DVD.

    I don't think that the cause of the problem was a missing or corrupted driver (which was what Windows has reported with error 0xc0000221). I think that I could solve the problem by resetting my CMOS. The problem is now completely gone, even on several boots.

    Now with my PC to the top and runs again, I went into the device by your advice Manager. I see only one exclamation point in there that seems to be independent: an adapter (Microsoft ISATAP, probably a virtual network adapter) has a problem loading.  The node relevant in ("Marvell 61xx controller RAID') Device Manager, when you double click it, shows status"this device works properly.". The driver version is 1.2.0.57, it has been WHQL' ed.

    I also studied the event viewer on your suggestion. I don't see any entry with this error 0xc0000221. Which is probably logical: because Windows cannot gain access to this driver, it has limited access to the disk (because the driver is associated with disk: it is a RAID controller), so Windows cannot save the error on the disc.

    So, overall, with my post I have three objectives:

    -Raise awareness of other users a possible fix if they encounter the same problem as me

    -(optionally) to improve the quality of the SFC utility

    -(possibly) improve feedback that Windows gives to the user at boot fails

    -Improve my understanding of the recovery process

    So, back to the SFC. You noted that SFC checks all system files, just a subset. But I expect that the system files that are considered "critical" for Windows are in this subset. However, with mv61xx.sys, this doesn't seem to be the case: Windows reported at the start that he couldn't continue the start because this file is critical for the system, but CFS seem to have another opinion. Could not check if mv61xx.sys is really not in the list of files that SFC analysis?

    Secondly, is it possible that the mv61xx.sys pilot bails out with a 0xc0000221 error code, and Windows boot wrong is reported as a type of "load driver" of the problem, so that everything else goes wrong?

    I looked into your profile and noticed that you do not work for Microsoft. So if you can not answer my questions, I can understand that, since there are rather thorough type of questions, so I guess that only someone from Microsoft can answer those. In this case, would you happen to have a suggestion for a person or a contact forum?

    Thank you

    Roland.

  • Vista fails to start up and impossible to reinstall vista either... ?

    Hello

    I have a DELL PC, which runs on Vista. Recently, I listen to it on and it ran very slowly with respect to transactions simple, such that watching a video on youtube and he kept constantly gel. Then I got an error message in the toolbar of windows on disk errors and had to reboot the PC, which then gave options to fix errors in the Service Center (I think his name who) or start windows normally. Do not repair errors and now every time I start the PC I get a blank screen after the initial start of vista and not basically starts up. I tried to restore the computer to its factory settings, but because there are no restore points I can't restore it.

    Hello

    Normally after the installation of recovery your laptop should work fine again.

    In my opinion, it could be a malfunction of the equipment. Did you test the HARD drive for bad sectors? You can do this with Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the ISO image and burn it to a disk. Then you can boot from it and test your HARD drive for errors.

    I also recommend to check the RAM for errors: http://memtest86.com/
    Memtest is a good diagnostic tool for the RAM.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

    change the way you receive updates and check what you install ad if you don't not right-clicking on UAC prompt you to hide it:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial140.html

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  • Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

    I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

    I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

    I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

    I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

    I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

    Hi James,

    Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

    I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

    Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

    A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

    B. restart your computer.

    C. Si you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    D. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    E. click on repair your computer.

    F. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    G. in the menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

    Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

    If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

    Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

    You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

  • Windows Update fails because TrustedInstaller fails to start due to bad road cbscore.dll

    I get error 80080005 when you try to run windows update.  I followed this to the fact that the Windows Module Installer fails to start.  Using ProcMon I could find this TrustedInstaller.exe fails to start.  It is a failure due to the following:

    TrustedInstaller.exe QueryOpen C:\Windows\servicing\0.0.0.1\cbscore.dll IO QUICK REJECTED
    TrustedInstaller.exe CreateFile C:\Windows\servicing\0.0.0.1\cbscore.dll path ACCESS not FOUND

    I tried to understand where TrustedInstaller.exe gets the path for cbscore.dll, but I had no chance.  Can someone tell me where TrustedInstaller.exe gets this way?  Or, more generally, how can I solve this problem?

  • Vista no longer starts after replacing the motherboard

    Pavilion p6157c has been cut and required a new motherboard.  It was replaced by the closest match we could find (an ASUS M3N78-VM replaced the M2N78 - LA, that both share the same chipset).  Nothing else has changed (same HDD, memory, CPU).  Now that Vista does not start.  I can get the recovery menu, but all the options before you reset the system to factory settings failed.  We can do it, but it seems crazy to have to reinstall everything in this situation.

    I used the HARD drive as an external drive on another system to make sure that the drive works and is read.  I have read and save.

    Vista and Office on this system are OEM (no disk).  Other forums, I've got the indication that I'll have to get a new copy of Windows and do a full install.  Is this my only option?

    So, here's how the problem was resolved later...

    2 removed the original hard drive and installed a new drive

    3 use the Vista disc to install Vista on the new drive (used my own license)

    4 reinstalled the drivers

    5 downloading and installing LapLink PCmover Image Assistant

    6. install the old drive as a secondary drive

    7 use PCmover to recover data and applications on the old drive (this worked pretty well)
