    Hello

    Try to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if pictures or anything else appears on the second monitor?
    You can also try to use the FN + F5 combination to check if the display will change back to the internal display.

    But look, man, if you are not successful then I guess there must be a serious hardware problem and only the laptop technician might know what's wrong.

    Hello

    I suspect that there is a problem with your operating system installed which is the cause of this. So I suggest a clean reload (by LINK, or maybe even through ADF) of your operating system. Or maybe even go beyond an even newer version. There has been at least 2 and maybe 3 more since this version. Of course, you will need to use informal methods if your operator has not yet approved any more recent data.

    Good luck!

  • Because the computer may not shut down properly the recovery fails on HP G60-519WM

    1.) product name and number: HP G60-519WM

    (2.) operating system installed: Windows 7 64-bit

    (3.) error message:

    Impossible to restart the computer

    Windows cannot restart the computer in the

    To complete Windows recovery environment the

    recovery operation.

    4.) all changes to your system until the problem was happening:

    I think I have a type of malware or something because my computer started running slower and I continue to be redirected to Web sites randomly when I use Google or Bing.  Records on the right side of my Start menu as 'Computer' and 'My Documents' disappeared.  I also get this an update for Windows live which stops at 57%.

    Problem:

    There is no restore point on my computer if I want to perform a system recovery back to the image of the manufactuer.  I downloaded the USB recovery Flash Disk Utility for my model.  Now I want to recover my computer via USB, but when I run the advanced recovery mode he's trying to restart my computer.  Given that my computer will not shut down properly, I end up having to press the power button until it stops my computer and the recovery does not continue when I start my computer again.

    I tried to use F11, but then I just end up on a screen that says either press on enter to choose to continue with Windows 7, press tab to move to the bottom of the list or press ESC for more options.  I tried all three and they eventually freeze the screen and keys are starting to make a Summit high-pitched beep when I try to press one, so I end up having to force my laptop to stop.

    I also tried to make recovery by pressing F8 and then choosing the "repair your computer option.  Which causes my computer screen go black, and I end up having to force it to close again.

    Is it possible to restore my computer to factory settings?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Jes:

    Yes, it would be the battery.  The relatively heavy bar that is normally removed retainers of slide.

    From what you described, I am afraid that your PC needs a lot of work (probably a bad motherboard), and you'd be much better to buy a new laptop or refurbished, than to pay a lot of money to fix yours.

    I guess you would have to pay more than $200 for repair.

    I'm sorry this is probably not what you wanted to hear.

    Best regards

  • Unable to restart or shut down Windows when a USB modem is connected to the computer

    When I plug a USB modem, either 3 G or dial-up, my computer will restart or shut down. It complements the normal stop the procedure, but instead of actually put back in power, the screen becomes black and stay like that. After a manual stop, Windows reports that he is recovered from a serious error. I have had this problem since I first installed Windows Vista about half a year ago. When there are no modems connected to the computer, it restarts and stops normally. In addition, printers and USB flash drives appear not to cause to happen.

    No idea how I could solve this problem? Thank you.

    Works fine now. Another bug of Microsoft.

  • Windows vista (Home premium) is not shut down or restart

    Thank you very much. Would be a new instal OS solve these problems?

    If you mean a new facility on a reformatted drive or a system recovery using recovery of the manufacture process, Yes, certainly, unless it's a hardware problem - but then you learn nothing about what caused the problem in the first place and so how do I prevent it from happening again.
    WRT your mistakes: -.
    1. nothing to worry about, as most of the machines do not have parallel ports today (unless yours does?)
    (2) it is difficult to talk about this, without more details-, but because they say "dependants", rather that "unload", it can probably be ignored.
    (3) it seems normal - I've seen a lot of PC with this error, and apparently nothing wrong. -It is important only if you are connected to a domain server
    (4) the service (I think) is a result of system crash, rather than a cause of the grip.
     
    It seems that the cause of this will remain a mystery.
    My earlier concern about SR doesn't work not just because of problems still standing stop - but back your data first, so that if the worst happens and you cannot start the system later, you can go to plan B.
    As Lorien says, try a back system restore to before the problem started - although at 2 months, I would worry about the stability of the system later. Since you already said that you are willing to do a reinstall if necessary, give it a whirl :)

  • Windows does not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally

    Original title: battery

    When the battery dies on Windows 7 Home premium, what makes the look of the laptop screen as to everyone with the same computer? (IE black, dim and then black, dim and white and then black, Sun & blue, etc.)
    And you always get the "Windows did not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally)" Note?

    It could be a hardware problem, so it is best to contact DELL or a local technician if the problem persists.

    As a work around, I suggest to update the drivers of the computer display and check if it makes a difference.

    Download the drivers from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6410

  • Suggestion: Firefox would not hold up to a shut down windows with a close multiple tab dialog box.

    I didn't know where to send a suggestions, so he posts here. Please redirect it to the appropriate location.

    When I shut down windows and firefox works with several tabs, it pops up a dialog box and prevents the closure of windows. Last Friday, I shut the computer down before leaving work and found that it was still on when I went back to work Monday. Reason - Firefox.

    I prefer computers stop when I am away for an extended period of time to save energy.

    Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

    As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

    Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

    After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.
