When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens

Original title: computer does not start

Hi all

Have a dual processor Intel running Vista with 2 GB of memory.

When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens. That is the screen is not lighting, brief flashes KB on and nothing. I hae take the drive HARD case and implemented it is powered, but there is no sign that it is accessed at all when the machine is running. It seems that ot could be the HARD drive, but I think that there is a rom on the motherboard, which is accessible in the boot process and I wonder if this could fail. I don't have a spare drive to test what happens then is anyway I can be sure if I need new hard drive or m/Board?

While on the question - if I need a HARD drive, Vista is the one that crashed and I do not have a Cd with the machine when I bought it. Nor has created a cover of one! I have an old XP Pro upgrade disc and an original copy of Windows 2000 (so I can switch to XP). This is my best option? I can't afford £ 140 for Windows 7.

Hi Eddie,.

Since this is a hardware problem, you should contact your computer manufacturer or a hardware technician to understand the defective material.

And also, since Windows Vista was preinstalled on the computer you must consult the manufacturer of the computer for resettlement or a recovery DVD.  Also survey about data recovery on hard drive crashed.

  • I have synced my phone on my desk before wiping the desktop drive, now wish to import bookmarks in sync on the desktop. I tried to 'replace all data on the computer with my Sync data', but nothing happens. Please guide me through it.

    All bookmarks are still on my mobile. I can see and access. When using the synchronization options, then clicking on the fact, absolutely nothing happens. The bookmarks are always on my mobile and not transferred to office.

    Hello!

    I am trying to understand the workflow in detail. Let me explain quickly what is the right process:

    1. Sync your phone to your desktop (you already did that)
    2. Clean your computer (you already did that)
    3. Follow these steps in the newly installed Firefox https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers?s=sync & r = 3 & as=s#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer

    That of all, make sure you have the key to Firefox Sync in order to access your Firefox Sync account again. Do not create a new or if not you will remove the data from the server. If you have lost your key synchronization, you can get it from your phone by installing the add-on on your Android device: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/aboutsynckey/

    I hope this helps you.

  • What happens when "Still waiting for network when starting the computer and logon" is enabled and that the computer is not connected to the network?

    In MMC, I created the group policy and found through web search that computers with mapped network drives can connect better if "always wait for network when starting the computer and logon" is enabled...  So far, it has been very nice to have allowed.  Is no longer mapped network drives see the place as disconnected.  But what happens if the computer is not connected to a network?  Say the wireless router will turn off and your computer always 'wait... '. "turned on, should the user could still log the computer timely?

  • ESSO-LM - Installation Package MSI when starting the computer, instead of login

    Hello

    I'm on the migration project ESSO of the V10 V11.1.2.2 customer asked the deployment of the package to the large community of users without user intervention.  Logoff scripts have been changed to remove the old version.  And they already have scripts to run when the computer reboots, as well as during the user logon.

    My question is can I install new MSI packages during the reboot, without user having to connect and wait for the package must be installed after it connect?

    Thanks in advance

    I guess I answered my own question by testing in the laboratory.  I tested the MSI installation when you start the computer up without any problem.  The conclusion, there is NO dependence of the user with the installation of ESSO-LM for the computer to start.  The advantage is to push the installation without the need to have the user performing the installation...

    Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

    If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

    However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.
