Windows Vista does not load, can not use Safe Mode, etc.

Computer/laptop: Dell Inspiron 1525
Running: Windows Vista

I hope someone here can understand this, but it's a pretty serious problem for me for two days now.

Two days ago I started my laptop that I normally have.  I did insofar as the office, and then once I tried to move my cursor autour, nothing happened.  Instead of using the cursor, navigation with the keyboard, I tried once more, nothing helps.  Everything was just frozen.  I didn't think much at the time, because I thought maybe it was just one of those random freezes, restart the computer fixed.

But my problem got worse.

After the next reboot, my computer is doing as much as the black screen with the Green loading bar with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under it... and where he remained for more than 6 hours.  It's exactly what it does whenever I restart the computer.  Just in the limbo of the permanent load.

I held F12 on boot to the top and ran a diagnostic test, which revealed nothing wrong.  I tried all the options under F8, including all variations of Safe Mode, and once more, nothing has worked.  Even more frustrating is that the computer could not even finished loading command prompt when I tried "Safe Mode with command prompt."

The only clue I've gotten so far was a blue screen randomly with a single line of text that read something like: "'STOP: c00000033 object name invalid ." "

Essentially to: nothing works, and I not made any changes to the computer itself, between the time he was working, and now when it is not.  It loads just for as long as I leave the computer running.

Help or light on this subject would be much appreciated, as the thought of losing everything on a computer, I've had for almost two years is quite upsetting.

Hey Maverick 104,

Step 1: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...)  Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.  Then get any drivers\software update for the device.

Step 2: Try (method 1) system restore and repair the startup (method 2) as indicated in the link below:

Your computer may freeze or it may restart to a black screen that has an 0xc0000034 error message after you install a service pack for Windows Vista

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/975484

Step 3: Start the computer to system recovery options (follow the steps mentioned in the link below) > select command prompt tool and run Check disk to repair bad sectors on the hard disk.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

 

At the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

Now, type chkdsk /r , and then press ENTER.

Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

Let us know if it works

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Vista broke down. Can only use safe mode. (NOT RESOLVED)

    Hey, if my computer worked fine until I tried to install an update from windows. It seems not completely install and just froze, so I closed the window and restarted my computer.

    I then try to connect to my user, and it seems like I'm on a temporary user instead. I could still get into my files, but any changes I've made have not been saved. I said to myself, this is not normal, so decided to do a system restore.

    I restart my computer once again and try to connect. It looks like its about to load, but then says "logout" and goes back to the login screen again = S

    I try to restart, press F8 and put it on safe mode. I try another system restore - no change. I use the command prompt to perform a disk check, no change. I do a virus scan - no viruses. My boyfriend has also checked the RAM, and he can't find a problem.

    Have saved as much as I can on discs and USB. Is there something else I could try, because I really don't want to have to restart my brand new computer?

  • Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203

    original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

    Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

    So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

  • Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

    Hello world

    I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

    I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

    So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

    Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

    Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

    If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

    Thanks in advance!

    Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

    1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
    Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
    device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
    -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

    Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
    and update the firmware.

    If no joy follow these steps:

    You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

    Try these:

    Make a Restore Point

    Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

    Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

    Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
    It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

    now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

    APPLY/OK

    RESET

    This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

    You must remove all instances of the devices and restart.
