Vista Service Pack 1 update fails - computer will not start and cannot be repaired

The computer which is an Acer desktop computer, running Windows Vista Premium.  In the last 6 months updated Vista tried Service Pack 1 update to install Vista about 8 times and failed every time a reason any.  Just before this latest incident, a facility was "cancelled" in the Middle for some reason any.  I restarted the computer and almost immediately was advised that there is an update, which turned out be SP-1.

I started the update, and some time later I received a message that the update was successful, and that he had to be restarted the computer.  I clicked on the button restart and the Installation continues during the shutdown.

When the computer tried to restart initialization failed and I ended up after several lines of information that looked as if it might be checking drivers and then information began to look as if she might be reading the register lines.  Each line has 2 numbers separated by a slash (/), who scored on a single line at the top of the screen, (white letters on black background) after a certain time the count to stop with the line of text of flickering on the same entry.

It is the line that goes to the screen when the information keeps changing.

!! 0xc01a001d!  37636/92292 (\Registry\Machine\components\winners\x86...)

Since the failure of the Windows Vista SP1 update, when the system begins to start, after a short while, he starts playing what seems like lines in the registry, and after a few moments he always stops with the same accurate information just flicker.  At this point, it seems that this scenario will continue forever.  The hard drive is accessible, as if trying to read something, over and above.  The hard drive light flashes, instead of being on regularly, but only for a while.  After that, even the flickering stops.

I have tried to start mode without failure, then after loading some files and after some time (5 or 10 seconds) the displayed files always end with the same file at the bottom of the list and what seems to be a status extend the message please know...  Shortly after the screen is empty, the fails to start and the computer is restarted.

Usually what will happen is that the computer will begin to start up again, but because the previous boot failed, it asks if you want to go to startup repair, which, at first, seems to work fine, but after a little time it brings up a dialog box asking if you want to restore to the previous good Restore Point.  The display will then return to the same routine he had previously, and she runs to always if not interrupted.

If you click the Cancel button, a message appears indicating that you cannot interrupt the current process, so the only way that you can try something else is to Shut Off the Power in now the switch down, permanently.

[Note: the notes above have not all accurate messages, Word for Word, exceot for the Hex error line.]

  • Windows Vista will not start and cannot recover

    I have a desktop PC HP Compaq Presario, which has about 2 years. The problem started when Windows Vista was not able to start. It would load up on the "COMPAQ" screen and then it would just go to a slider black white screen with a flashing white light on the top left. Now that I've seen a lot of discussions with this similar problem, but it seems that people would rather not reformat in order to lose any important data. But in my situation, I have some important data on my computer so reformatting would be fine, except...

    -Recovery system won't work. I insert the 1 system recovery disk, all files loading correctly, it allows me to choose if I want to reset the computer to factory settings, I click Yes and it finishes the reformatting step. But then the problem comes when I insert disc 2, original content relocation step. It fills up to 10-16% and then I get a blue screen of death STOP: 0 x 00008086. I tried SEVERAL times and the same thing happens.

    -The next thing I tried to do is to fix the computer via a copy burned Windows Startup Repair. Loads everything up, I spent the page where I choose my language, currency, etc. The problem comes when I get to the System Recovery Options. There is no listed BONES and a box appears and says "Searching for Windows installations", and then it stalls just on this pop up. This problem is quite recent, because before there is no pop up and there is simply no OS listed, so I still could not repair or restore in any case.

    -Before, when I was able to go into the advanced options on the Startup Repair disk (when he was not of "searching for Windows installations" pop up to stall on), I'd go to the command prompt in attempt to chkdsk/r C:. All bad sectors or groups or something else would be fixed, and then he would hold to step 5 of 5 when checking free space.

    -In addition, I tried to make a diagnosis of memory via the Startup Repair tool. That's what I get:

    File: \boot\memtest.exe

    Status: 0xc000000f

    Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt


    Furthermore, I cleaned my computer, it is now almost completely free of dust. In addition, I can't get into the BIOS, I can't get into safe mode, and now I can't have in the command line

    Hello

    If you are unable to enter the BIOS and all the other problems, you have hardware problems
    and need the help of a real store of the computer (no leeks and glances at a Best Buy or any other
    Department stores) or Support of HP/Compaq.

  • Need help after you apply the updates. Computer will not start.

    The computer in question is running XP Pro.  He applied updates should then stop.  When I tried to reload I couldn't do.

    It's as if the power is off.  There is no fan noise when I push the power button, nothing.  He tries not to POST and there is no beeps.

    I can obviously not use a boot disk and restore console, or try safe mode.

    There may have been a blip in power when the system applied updates, but I don't know.  Everything else on the same surge protector does not have a problem.

    Hi bigten333,

    As the computer starts not yet to the scene where you see the manufacturers logo, it's a hardware problem.

    I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the computer,

    The reason is that Windows bootmanager or system files are corrupt. You say that you did a recovery disk, but what image of hard drive recovery (by pressing F8 at startup)? If it is already deleted, you must:

    1. order the recovery disk https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx Note, it is not free

  • Re: Satellite L300 will not start and cannot restore HARD drive

    I have a L300 which stops just to start (after that the screen flash BIOS) with a single cursor flashing when I boot from the HARD disk. I can access the bios Setup and boot from the CD. I took the HARD drive connected to my external USB adapter on another PC and I can see partitions C and D and read the files correctly. I noticed that there is a directory called 'HDD recovery' on the D drive, but I don't have a recovery CD or another program to restore it.

    I found a boot of Vista recovery disc and it allows me to start a version of vista recovery but when I check the windows system can't find any errors. Also, if I choose the system restore then he says that he has no restore file.
    I suspect it's the disk HARD restore being Tosh files and Windows.

    Help someone!

    Set the default BIOS settings and enter the Advanced Start parameters using F8 at startup.
    You can boot OS using the safe mode option?

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.
