  • Windows 7 Home Premium does not load

    I am currently in safe mode with network. The two safemodes work very well.

    However, my Normal Windows 7 Home Premium will not load. I get a black screen after startup. Windows will not even go to the Page of the user.

    I was at my desk and clicked on the Mozilla Firefox browser. When a guest is up asking if its 'ok' firefox in the Trash Dump. Then, he gave me 29 guests asking if it is "ok". Of course, I clicked 'No' which then froze my computer.

    Then, I Hardbooted the computer and went to restart. After the bios loading system... my computer would achieve was a black screen.

    Since then, I did a system restore to several days before. And that has not fixed the problem.

    My guess is that I've damaged some system files? Or is it a virus. I use Avast basic protection.

    Please get back to me with more information. Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand you get a black screen after start up.

    This could happen due to conflicts between third-party applications.

    You can disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse and check if you are able to boot to the desktop and check.

    I also recommend what to do the Startup Repair. Follow these steps:

    To perform a Startup Repair follow these steps:

    1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD and restart the computer.

    2. When we are asked to press a key to boot from the DVD, please press enter or the SPACEBAR.

    3. Choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    4. Click on repair your computer.

    5. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair can invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, it may restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - "does not work Windows genuine" pop up

    My Windows 7 Home Premium has been installed, activated and working perfectly for the past 18 months. I've been on the last few days PF, make popup windows telling me "this computer is not running genuine Windows" (0x8004fe21). This is obviously false because I bought the upgrade directly from Microsoft in November 2011 and it has been fine.

    When I click "Pay online now", the Microsoft site runs a quick scan and then points me to a download page of Windows 7 for £75.

    I have already tried to get the license key, restart the laptop, launching an update of Windows and reboot again - all to nothing does and I still get seriously irritating popup.

    Any ideas why this has suddenly started happening and how to fix it?

    Any suggestions gratefully thanks received.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium does not start after mother, CPU and RAM upgrade card

    I recently updated my PC Windows Vista Home Premium. I changed the motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card. When I booted the machine, it has not started Windows. Windows tried to recover, but could not. Is it possible to get this machine to start without doing a new install? The new facility will lose important files.

    Hello

    It's a normal reaction after replacing the hardware that you have replaced.

    The hard drive with the installed operating system contains the old motherboard drivers, etc..

    They must be replaced with the new motherboard, drivers etc.

    You will need to reinstall the operating system and then install the new drivers of motherboard (you should have a diskette of drivers for it), if the new installation does not probably them, that it will not...

    To backup your data > buy a hard drive USB enclosure > put your hard drive in it > plug it into another computer > read and copy your data from it in this way.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium does not start and an external monitor connected via DVI to HDMI Cable

    I have a Dell Inspiron 531 desktop computer with a NVIDEA GeForce 8400 GS video card.  This video card has the following outputs: DVI, VGA and S-video.  When I connect it to my computer via the VGA port to PC to my Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR4 monitor port, the machine starts perfectly.  If I connect via a HDMI cable to one of the HDMI monitor DVI ports, the screen displays the video BIOS, but turns black when the operating system begins to load.  If I connect another monitor to the VGA port, yet once the machine boots fine, but if I connect the monitor to the computer and the Sony Bravia, once again the machine does not start.  The strange thing is that if I boot with only the connected computer screen and then plug the DVI to HDMI cable, then Windows 7 sees the Sony Bravia monitor very well, and I can extend the desktop.  If the machine mode 'sleep', both monitors work very well to wake up the PC.  So, if the Sony Bravia is connected alone or with the computer screen, the machine does not start (the screen will display 'go black' when the OS starts to load.)  I tried to run Windows in Mode safe, but he won't either.  I have all the updates of Windows applied and have installed the latest drivers from nVidea so.

    Hey Chris,

    First of all, about climbing, is not a technical support; This is a community forum where MS moderator and contributors are involved.  Now to your question ~

    It's very strange that the PC does not start when this unit is connected, but works fine when connected after the fact.  I've seen several cases where a hardware configuration of uinsusal will prevent a PC to boot.  I think that the culprit may be DVI to HDMI Cable that you are using.  If I were you, I try to connect the PC to a DVI monitor and see if it boots normally.  Also, see if the monitor can prevent another PC to start when it is connected directly via the HDMI.

    Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.

  • Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

    I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

    Thanks in advance...

    There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

    I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Vista Home Premium does not see my HDV camera

    I recently bought a Sony Z5U HD camera and tried to connect to my Vista Premium 64 bit laptop.  Windows don't "bong" and recognize that anything that either is connected. If I plug an older camera, it works fine as it should, so I don't know that the firewire connection works correctly.  In addition, I plug the same new camera to a tower of XP and it works fine. I contacted Sony and they said that Microsoft has not added 64-bit cameras HDV codec on Vista 64 and I should downgrade the operating system to 32 bit, which sounds extreme.  I googled for the 64-bit codecs, and everything I can find relates to play a variety of file types video in Windows Media Player, which seems CLOSE, but not quite accurate that I know this might solve my problem.  There are codecs that I can install to allow my HDV camera to be recognized by my Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS?

    Hi mate,

    These questions - and especially a BSOD - aren't very good signs of a healthy system / machine. Recently installed a few new applications or something else?

    OTHERWISE, I guess some hardware failures (memory, motherboard), because these problems appearing out of nowhere are probably based material and not really software Unetelle...

    I installed a WD 500 GB drive in my Emachines computer.   He appears in "Device Manager" who says it works correctly, but the OS not the poster not in 'My Computer'.  Is there a limit on the size of the disk in Vista?

    Have you partitioned/formatted it?

    If not, right click on computer > manage > storage > disk management.

    Now right click on the graph for the reader, and select new simple volume. Allocate the amount of space you want to use it, i.e. all or certain of them so that you can have more than one partition on the disk. Now do a right click and format it. Repeat the new simple volume if you decided to make several partitions.

  • Upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium at 8 - CPU does not support NX

    Hello

    I have Vista Home Premium (very probably OEM as it came with the PC) on a PC and I bought the upgrade license to Windows 8 Pro.
    I understand that it is in terms of the license transition, but here is my problem:
    The CPU does not support NX (and for sure there is no setting in the BIOS for this).
    So I can't move to 8.
    To replace the CPU, I need to replace the motherboard.
    If I replace the motherboard my understanding is I'm losing the license because it OEM.
    So, in reality, I can't switch to Win 8.
    The license, I bought said that I can pass any system running XP, Vista, Win 7 to 8 Win.
    It does not distinguish between older versions of Windows OEM and retail versions.
    For me, it's a huge conflict.
    So the question is:
    Can I change the CPU + motherboard to earn 8? or not?
    Thank you
    It has been some time but I finally had the time to do the upgrade (hardware + software).
    For history and for others who could come on this post with a similar question and be discouraged by responses like this:
    I contacted the technical support of MS and they confirmed that I had a Windows 8 Pro upgrade license and after upgrading my license would Win 8 Pro full-detail (what you want to call it). Essentially, after upgrade, I can reinstall any other motherboard. Of course you can only use a license on a machine at one time.
    (Of course your upgrade license type may be different to mine, so you should check they type of license)
    In any case, what is more interesting, it of that I got the confirmation that I can do a clean install and activate my upgrade license. Not only that, but they recommended the installation of Vista should not be present when installing on 8 to win. I was very skeptical and I asked for an account of the cat to be on the right side. They assured me that the support had made several times and is not a problem.
    And so, I do a clean install on the new motherboard (and a new player) and activated windows 8 with no problems at all.
    It seems very stupid that you can change the motherboard after the upgrade, but could not make the move and the Windows update at the same time. Fortunately, it is not the case.
    To me, it seems that the MS are aware that in you to go from XP (soon), they should also use the materials for the upgrade.
