When bootingup vista home basic screen becomes black for more than 120 seconds then restarts again, how it stop doing that?

I know there have been many on this black screen problem, but I just cann't fix thisI have tried some fixes, but nothing seems to help. Also, my system is 32 bit. I tried my understanding of System Mechanic pro, tuneup utilities 2012, Soluto.It, there is a timer that can be set, but I don't have an idea how doing this and don't want to spoil things more they already are. Anyone got good ideas without danger?

Hello

  • The computer boots to the desktop after showing black screen?
  • When the issue started?
  • Were there any changes made to your computer before this problem?

Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and disable your video card.

a. start in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

b. sign in your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

c. open the Device Manager: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Open-Device-Manager

d. in the list of categories of equipment, expand the category of display cards. Take note of your graphics card.

e. right click on your graphics card and then click on disable. Confirmation prompt, click Yes.

f. close all open windows and restart your computer normally.

If you can see your desktop, then there is a problem with your video card. Try to update your video card driver. For more information, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

    Hello monorayfromportland,

    If you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store on your Apple TV, take a look at the troubleshooting steps below:

    3. Make sure you have an active network connection. Go to settings > network.
    4. Check to see if other devices, such as computers or tablets, can connect to Wi - Fi and access to the Internet.

  • SL300 and HDMI. External monitor goes black for 2 to 5 seconds then picture comes back

    Hello

    When you use the external monitor with my SL300, the screen off for 2 to 5 seconds, then reappear. It does this perhaps once every two days. Sometimes this happens much more often. And then it's very annoying. When the image reappears, the HDMI signal indicator (monitor is BenQ 2400W) is displayed in the screen.

    I tried different cables without change. My PS3 connected to my screen via hdmi cable and it works fine.

    Any idea what the problem might be?  I think its my SL300 signal loss but wanted to see if anyone else had this experience?

    My hardware:

    BenQ 2400W (1920 x 1200)

    SL300, Intel graphics version

    I "solved" this problem by using the following cable HDMI to DVI instead of HDMI-HDMI cable:

    Every single HDMI-HDMI cable gave these power cuts. According to Lenovo support, it is probably a driver related problem.

  • When I start my laptop Vista loaded, I get 'Please Wait' for more than 2 minutes sometimes. What does Vista behind my back?

    I have a Toshiba laptop with no extra or odd options, this is the case whenever I start and it's annoying when Vista was announced as being quick to start.  This small circular thing continues his tail for up to 4 minutes while the 'Please Wait' shines.  Very unsatisfactory.  I also bought the best virus/malware protection money can buy, at least that's what they say, it's a bit like microsoft.

    Check if the same problem occurs if you "clean boot" your system (check this page). This should load Windows Vista without third-party programs. If the startup time is better, then you will need to find or which program is causing the problem.
    However, you can check this page first.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

    I'm looking for customizable configurations, and I see that you offer with 8 GB of RAM, but it takes a 64-bit system to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicitly says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I certainly don't need. Is it possible to specify a command with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

    Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the addition of the company. Wikipedia:

    «Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget conscious users not requiring advanced do not support supports for domestic use.» ... Home Basic supports one processor physical, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Edition Tablet PC, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of the basic home edition with the exception of Parental control and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, image system and recovery, offline files, backup a server to single user Remote Desktop , capabilities of collaboration ad hoc P2P cliché support that allows you to access previous versions of files, Tablet PCsupport and other features of business-oriented management. Vista Business edition supports up to two physical processors. 64-bit Enterprise supports 128 GB of RAM. »

    I am interested in a configuration with a high power, dual-core processor and 8 GB of RAM with the cache of 2 GB drive in addition to that, among other things, large volume, an intense audio processing. None of the additional costs related to the company are things that I need, but I need a 64 bit system to exploit the 8 GB of RAM. Frankly, I really don't want to pay $79 just for the support of RAM, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and while the basic edition is apparently not a Windows 7 free upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.

    My questions:

    • If I set up a machine with > 3 GB installed memory, will there by default be configured with the 64 bit version of the edition of Windows, I chose?
    • If so, is there a cost difference? There is no difference in cost between the registered versions 32 - and 64-bit Enterprise edition.
    • If not, is it possible to make this simple change to my order? Levono is even included in Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?

    buzgun wrote:

    Ehh. The other side to this is that, when you try to maximize the efficiency of an audio production on the fly system, a huge amount of overhead of operating system is not desirable.

    If you after a clutter of OS (which is what you seem to be which means by 'efficiency'), you will need to do significant customization of the load of the installation of any  version of Windows, so it won't be fine well what version start you with.

    Hey birch_2526

    There is no link of free and legal link for you to download vista basic to reinstall

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of vista recovery disc

    they do it for a nominal cost

    and also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall vista basic to how you bought your computer

    that will save you money if you don't have a recovery partition

    your hard drive will be wiped clean of everything during the resettlement process
