VISTA is unbootable

From my previous post, my computer has problems freezing/locking up.  Got to the point where I completely reloaded OS of HD partitioned (HP).  Did chkdisk routines, recovery, run sfc/scannow, HP/PC doctor, and a clean boot with each other as possible to diagnose routine.  Now the computer does not start and is just in a recovery phase, then restore - can't find anything.

I guess now it's a hardware problem, but when I run the diagnostics of material via the recovery routine, I don't have any errors after having tested everything in the list (hard drive, CPU, RAM, cache, motherboard, etc...).  I removed the RAM to try to isolate if its one of the RAM (1 of 4 cards) cards, no change.  When you try to start, I get the green bar Microsoft (loading), and then a long break (with spin-up HD), a 'pop' monitor, then right at the recovery routine - which never finds the errors.

HiMCEckardt,

1. do you have the latest updates and service packs installed?

2 do you know who the last installed updates?

Step 1:

You can check out the following link and check for the latest Windows updates installed:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Device-Manager

Step 3:

Also check in the observer of events for errors and recorded information.

Check out the link:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/open-Event-Viewer

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

Step 4:

Also try to filter the errors by performing the following steps:

To filter displayed events:

a. Click Start and type observer of events in the search box and press ENTER.

b. in the console tree, select the event to filter log.

c. on the Action menu, click on filter current log, or right-click the log and then select filter current log.

  • Vista unbootable - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    Dell inspiron 1525, bought in 8/08. My nieces and had not started since 5/09. Does not start normally, safe mode, all computer fix of good options last known date. I have the Dell reinstallation DVD and disabled each startup option in the BIOS but the optical drive. It starts loading and then when load goes directly back to BSON - I can't even boot with the dvd and all options the other boot off. BSOD indicated above with the following details:
    NTFS.sys
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    STOP: 0 X 00000050, 0X00000000, 0X882D408A
    NTFS.sys - address 882D408A base at 88204000
    47918a 96 datestamp

    The story is that I got this because she has lost the power cord and battery drained and she said she had "problems" - no details and do not ask a 20-year-old. I upok TI started and everything worked except for a bunch of boot errors (Delldock has stopped working, wireless tray stopped working and others). Understand that these may have been caused by additional Dell free trial software or perhaps spies/virus software. She had Defender and no antivirus. Also, he had 52 Windows updates pending (recommended) and 3 (option). I hit update and ran a few hours and froze. I turned off and restarted and thought maybe a virus problem and load of F-Secure (from my ISP) and spyware doctor and ran and no real problems. So, I'll stop, rebooted, set the automatic updates to run daily at 1:00, woke and it would close down with running updates (was on 2 of 4) is home from work 11 hours later and always on 2 of the 4. My patience tried me and I turn it off. Able to reboot and there were only 6 Microsoft updates. Read a Dell thread that Delldock causes all kinds of problems with the pop-up windows and cutting programs I went into the Panel and struck to remove it. Ran a few minutes and froze and went to blue screen and made a sort of receiving data. Then the unbootable condition above. As said, I can't get any type of shoe to do anything, even to a resettlement drive. I'm not very computer smart and very uptight. Suggestions?

    Hello

    You have the CD/DVD in 1st in the boot order? (not only have others disabled).

    That error is the most often material and because it will be not boot from the Vista disc, which are pretty
    much confirmed. Try changing the memory in and out. For anything else, you will need technical support
    a real computer store (no leeks or pointed to a BestBuy or other BigBox stores) or Dell
    Supported. Could be a new hard drive is necessary but there could be other systemic causes.

  • Problem installation Vista updated and now the Vista operating system unbootable - help

    Here it is the description of what has past.  Ive been through everything I can do and am now stuck with a code of 0 X 4001100200001005.

    I worked with Microsoft Vista forum group of answers, but I'm not back upward and running if Im going back to HP for assistance.  I hope that we can achieve together.  This all started when started Vista updates failing.  I got the 1 3 install stuck on the 2nd about three weeks ago.

    Here is a list of what I've done so far
    I have an old HP DV9410us for a year which will not restart after installing updates.  It comes to configuring updates step 1 from 3 to about 98% and then stops.

    It then says unable to start windows and start the repair program windows for about 5-10 minutes.  He said that you want to use the system restore.  I tell Yah Why Not.  Then, it will stop and start the cycle.

    The error in the Startup Repair States the following

    After a bunch of tests successful

    Root cause found:

    c:\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted.

    Repari Action: Repair of files
    Result: failed.  Error code = 0xa
    Duration 6521ms

    Action repair system restore
    Result: Completed successfully

    He then returns to the cycle all over again.

    I turned the clock to October with F10 at startup but that did nothing.

    I checked the hard drive for the short and complete and checked everything.

    I dug my recovery disks I did ago about 10 months after I bought and used to return to the top of my hardrive.  I was all ready for a MAC at this point.

    I went back to the HP Recovery program and tried to restore an earlier version of a well-known operating system.  The Manager of recovery disk wont work so I used the Recovery Manager disk.  There is no old configs to this true its in step 2.

    I'm now trying to perform a factory image recovery.
    Reload the operating system.  It started and got to 13% after 20 minutes and gave me the following error code.

    During this process, I have an error that had the code 0 x 4001100200001005.

    It is the reformatting of repeat of the Windows Partition.

    Is this a Vista update problem?  Have you seen this before?

    I'm doing a factory restore and will let you know if this operation fails.  I just wanted to get this thread started.

    I really appreciate this forum and any help you could give me.

    Message edited by ftrnow on 12/30/2008 08:17

    If you had an error in "configuration update 1 3-3 3 ' which would be a problem with windows update.

    to fix this, you'll need a factory image recovery if you can not access other modes for windows. But youy mentioned that you had a 0xx000x... (similar to code) error... try checking the hard drive and memory modules health... threr could be a problem with these devices, you can access it through the bios settings (turning on laptop, the moment you see hp invent screen, press f10) go to the diagnostics section, run the memory test and that hard drive test

    very probably with the error you have, you might have a hard drive problem.

    most of my clients (I am a specialist of the laptop of beak) with that problem and stuck on a boot loop or may not switch from windows, 95% of them had a hard drive failure.

  • Can not activate the discovery network in Vista

    I just reinstalled Vista on a laptop and went to connect to a wireless network that previously worked before the re installation of Vista.  Network discovery was off so I turned on and then you click on confirm and return to the window and it is still off.  So, I can't turn it on.  Any ideas please?

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. What is the accurate and complete error you get when you try to activate the service?

    3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

     

    Method 1.

    Step.I

    Make sure that the following services are enabled on the computer.

    (a) click Start and type "services.msc" in the search and click on services and ensure that these services are enabled:

    -TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service

    -DNS Client

    -Function Discovery Resource Publication

    -SSDP Discovery

    -UPnP device host

    To start the service and set it to automatic, follow these steps:

    (b) right click on each of the services listed above and click Properties.

    (c) click the general tab, and then, next to startup type, select automatic.

    (d) click on apply and then click Start.

    Step.II

    I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if TI the problem persists. To do this, please see the following article. The SFC/SCANNOW command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Step.III

    Try setting your computer unbootable inClean State and check to see if the same problem happens. Setting of the clean boot state system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Step.IV

    The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2.

    You can update the network drivers and check.

    Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-Vista/Update-a-Driver-for-Hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    Refer.

    b. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
    c. If 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.

    So my friend told me that his PC was not working. When you press the power button on the pc, the screen of the Dell BIOS load but instead of starting then Vista it shows just a black screen with a blinking cursor. Still, the BIOS detects the hard drive and has the ability to boot from it, but it just that again. I tried the recovery disk windows, and when you click on the "Repair" option when it loaded usually shows a list of the operating systems installed and their hard drives. There is no listed on the Vista recovery cd. Manually, you can browse and find the partition from the OS than its sequel, and clearly see the windows directories. It all simply not start, nor let the recovery disk to fix it because the operating system is not detected. I plugged the hard drive on my pc with the same results. Then I started my Win 7 and Explorer, disks and partitions are once again still visible with the appropriate directories. Windows says the drive is working properly and has no file system errors. When viewing in the hardware Manager, he says it's healthy (primary, active partition). My hard drive working correctly says healthy (boot, pagefile, primary partition). Why used it boot and why the recovery disk not recognize the operating system and how can I fix it or do I need to format and reinstall vista?

I have Ubuntu installed on my machine that I use now which works great, but I need to get Vista up and running by Saturday, because I need to Photoshop to work and other things. I need to sync my iPod on Windows as well.

    I did install updates or anything before this problem. He began by chance. I can't start without failure or recovery mode or networking like these gel too.

    Hi LiaCHIA,

    You get the error message?

    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.
