• Tried to update in Windows Vista Home Premium, stuck in the "Configuring updates" and "reboot" loop 11/05/2011

  Hello! I have a portable M-6752 Gateway under Vista Home Premium.  It was perfectly functional this morning 11/05/2011.  Then I noticed the sign (of exclamation in a circle) who said the new updates.  So I started the update and thought nothing of it.  It was until an hour later and I realize that my laptop was still updated.

  Right now I am stuck in a loop between "Configuring updates: stage 3 of 3-0% complete.»  Do not turn off your computer' and auto restart.
  I tried to restart in 'safe mode' and 'safe mode with network.  These attempts did not help.  I'm still stuck in the loop and my laptop is overheating.  The only thing I could do was to be able to.  Fact that several times already.
  Fortunately, I have another laptop and is able to ask for help.  Can someone help me?  I'm NOT a technical person.  Thank you.

  Thank you, but my laptop WAS running Service Pack 2 when this problem happened.  It has been resolved.  For anyone having this problem, here is my experience and solution.

  When I found myself stuck in a loop and my laptop keeps restarting without giving an error message, it began to overheat.  I turned off.  When I turned on it again the screen "Advanced Boot Options" appeared.  I chose 'Safe Mode'.  Then, I went to "Configuring updates...". ».  Machine started himself reboot again.  It happened a few times.  Finally I had to turn the phone off again.  All of a sudden when I turned on again, the "Windows Error Recovery" screen comes on.  There is a choice, 'Launch Startup Repair'.  I chose this.  Machine asked me if it is allowed to create restore point.  Of course.  Then I GOT!  I was saved by Windows self-diagnosis program.
  If you are not familiar with the screens that I mentioned, please search 'screen name' and the word 'image' as a whole.  You will see what these screens look like.
  Now I realize there is another way to reach the Startup Repair.  When you turn on again, press the F8 key several times.  Which will bring you to the early Startup Options screen.  On advance Boot Options, there is a choice 'repair your computer', scroll down to this choice, press ENTER.
  Turning off my machine during the restart is another way to force the "early start Options" screen appears.
  I read that some do not have the "Repair your computer" option according to your PC in the screen «In advance Startup Options»  You will need to know how to get to the "Windows Error Recovery" screen.
  As a last resort, you can restart Vista recovery disk.  Many manufacturers do not understand that when they send the PC for you.  However, it is available for download for free on the internet.  You can download and make your own within 30 minutes.  I hope this helps!

• My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode.

  My computer is stuck in the loop "Update Configuration". Boots only in safe mode. I tried to do a system restore, but an error message appears that says:

  To perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore. For example, if the installation is in "C:\Windows:" should be restored, enter the following command: rstrui.exe/OFFLINE:C\Windows

  I typed in the "run" command, and it didn't work either. VIsta came installed on the computer, so I don't have a disc to insert and reboot with. Help, please!

  Thanks, Ben

• BlackBerry Z30 Z30 suspended in the "Additional update" screen, I have a spleen?

  After many hours being pasted on the screen "Software updates", things have finally moved on the "Additional update" screen.  I am connected via Wi - Fi and have not inserted my SIM card.

  He's been stuck here for 3 hours, is this normal or is my phone a dud?

  The wise thing to do would have been to plug and leave it.

  See what others say. I still think that you need the mobile network and the installed SIM. You should leave wifi on as well.

• HP Pavilion 21-h010la stuck in the HP splash screen.

  Hello. I'm having a problem with my computer. When I try to turn it on, it gets stuck in the HP loading screen. I used the PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and he says that it meets the test, even if the SMART hard disk check returns a WARNING. The program didn't give me all the instructions to fix it later. Do I need to change?

  Hi there @mafi11235,

  That the Forums are with you!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your computer is stuck on the HP logo at the start, and that he was a WELL-INFORMED driver error message. I'm happy to help you with this.

  If you get a SMART disk error, so it is normally a warning of impending failure, based on testing the drive runs itself. This could mean the drive is defective or shows signs of failure, but in general you want to replace it and try to make a backup of your data as much as you can, until it was inaccessible.

  You have recovery media or already made for Windows 10 recovery disc? If this isn't the case, you will want to get some for your system. Computers HP - get HP recovery disks or HP USB recovery disc

  Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

• T420 stuck on the startup Lenovo screen

  Hi I'm new to this community, so I would like to applogise if I have something simillar to mist (I checked some but not solved my problem).

  I have a thinkpad t420, I bought a used one. It worked great, and I bought a friend, that I trust. I installed an SSD, was usnig Linux, and everything worked for a month. But then I bought a HARD drive caddy and replaced the CD-ROM. After that my thinkpad has worked for a day (although he does not recognize the second HDD). The next day, I tried to find BIOS for some parameters and after I restarted my laptop, it was stuck on the startup Lenovo screen, reboot loop. I tried:

  -removing and replacing the caddy with the CD rom.

  -replace my SSD drive,

  -replace the RAM (two locations),

  -Reset BIOS,

  -launch a diagnostic CD (but it does not start, nor can I boot from a USB key)

  My google search showed that he could bi a problem with one of the USB pins inside one of the ports (short circuit or something like that), but I couldn't find any damage. So I'm thinkig that the motherboard may be damaged, but I can access BIOS, but it's the only thing I can do with it.

  I'd be thenkful Walker of any advice or help, before moving on to official Lenovo service for help. Thnak you!

  Z.

  You can always source a new mobo on eBay, or any part on your T420 to recover some costs.
