  > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

  I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

  I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
  As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

• Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

  Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

  I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

  Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

  I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

• Impossible to load windows, just get a black screen with cursor

  I restarted my computer and now Windows will not load. It happens on the screen says 'Windows' in the bottom with green bars. Then it goes to a blank screen with a cursor to work. I left alone for a bit to see if she would just take a while to load and the screen saver came, that works, but I cannot get it on my desk.

  -nothing has been installed recently

  -Tried to reboot in safe mode (cannot enter safe mode)

  -Tried to restore to previous points

  -Tried CTRL + ALT + DELETE (does nothing, can't pull up the Task Manager)

  Hello

  A blackscreen can be very hard to fix. It's my generic convenience store which some you already have
  has tried.

  One to try:

  "C:\Windows\System32\winevt" in this folder is an another NEWSPAPER named one

  Rename the folder of NEWSPAPER LOGSold and restart the computer.

  'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs'-> 'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logsold '.

  REN C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logsold

  You can try in a Command Prompt of a disk of Vista or a recovery Partition if you can't navigate to
  the actual winevt file.

  -----------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

  Here's a video of one of them.

  I put my computer on 'Hibernate' when I went to bed. When I woke up, I started the computer learned to manufacturer (HP) computer screen introduction as usual, but windows doesn't not load afterwards, as he usually does: I just get a black screen. Lights supply and all the rest are on. Just nothing happens. Any ideas?

  Can I use the firmware from HP (I guess that's what it is) to confirm that my memory and hard drive are very good. I tried Googling the problem, and some signs indicate a problem with the powercfg parameter. I can't get in cmd.exe to reset because I can't get into windows (although through HP firmware, I can enter in "Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - cmd", which seems the same, but the orders that I see offered on websites do not seem to work - help?). Ditto with Safe Mode. I don't have Vista installation disc.

  Any help is very appreciated.

• Bootcamp partition Windows will not start since WinUpdate

  I'm working on a MacMini (mid 2011) on which a bootcamp partition has been installed. I had to work on windows update etc...

  So I did update from our wsus server, and then restart Windows, windows no longer starts. There was a line of white underscore flashing on a black screen.

  I tried to see if the Mac partition (10.7) was able to start. It has been altered too, but I was able to reinstall it.

  __

  on windows, I followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4936761?tstart=0

  To do this, I created a USB bootable key WIN10 (regardless of the Version of the OS in this case), I started on it to access the repair menu. Here, I opened the CMD and had results of the thesis:

  
  x:\sources>cd c:\ 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /FixBoot 
  
  Operation succeed 
  
  x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd 
  
  Number of windows installation identified : 1 Add the installation to boot list ? : O 
  
  Asked System Device not found. 
  

  I assumed it was due to drivers for windows compatibility. (something like record of $ $WinPEDriver), but no idea how to put them on my bootcamp partition, previously never worked with bootcamp.

  I should also mention, I tried a classic Windows repair, he told me that my windows partition has been locked. I assumed it was a problem of version of bootcamp. I've updated everything on my mac partition, but he found no update for bootcamp. Right now I'm preparing a bootable usb key with both 'iso' and 'windows compatibility modules' activated with bootcamp assistant.

  I don't know when it happens, but now, when I try to boot on my bootcamp partition, there are only blackscreen (not slider more). But also, my screen flashes as if he finally gets the signal just before the black screen.

  I need your help for:

  -Fixed problem starting Windows partition, OR...

  -Give me a way to get the activation key for the license of the installed windows (without starting it (if it exists)), so I can reinstall it correctly.

  Thanks for the kind help and forgive my bad English.

• Satellite P20-761: Windows will not start - it loads agp.sys then freezes

  When I pass my laptop it starts with the Toshiba logo as if commissioning, but then the screen goes black with the following message:

  We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware of software change might have caused this... etc etc.

  Then I have a list of options to choose from:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good known Configuration
  Start windows normally

  If I have the choice between the options of safe mode the screen goes through a list of files ending with: multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVE.sys, then freezes.

  If I have the choice between the last two options simply, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

  Of I'm desperate is not to lose all the data that I have accumulated on the laptop. Stupid me not a not bother with backups.

  Discs only can I find supplied with the laptop are 'tools and utilities' and 'product recovery dvd - rom '. Seeing that I am not a technical interest, I'm afraid to try just in case I lose all my most important files.

  Help, please! Answers must be plain English as like I said I'm not really technical. Thank you. I cross my fingers.

  Sounds like something wrong with the graphics card or with the graphics driver.

  I think that you have no other choice than to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and attempt to reinstall the OS. I hope that the graphics card doesn t malfunctions.

  It's very sad, because in this case, you will lose the data on the HARD drive.
  Optionally, you can remove the HARD drive and then to connect to little via the USB port on the other computer, then you can make a backup of your data.

• Envy 17 j120na: 10 Windows will not start because of the driver installation failed

  History:

  I have a computer laptop j120na Envy 17 that came with windows 8.1.

  I did the free upgride for windows 10 the 18th of this month with success, but because I was not able to decrease or increase the brightness of my computer, or put it to sleep, I realized that I still had to download/update drivers. First I updated the driver GeForce since my SWsetup folder but for the other, I searched online for her, then I saw the driver download progress bar but no progress has been made. I closed the dialog close and there you go, laptop does not start, I just saw a spark between the mouse pointer and the circular blue contraption. Sometimes he shows me a BSOD with lock core auto boost with irql higher acquisition.

  Question:

  Is this a problem with the driver installation? And if so, how do I return it?

  P.s: System Restore is not an option, I restore point.

  Hi there @Aj1baba,

  Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and assistance of HP and the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you are receiving an error message that says "acquisition of lock core auto boost with irql high ' on your HP ENVY 17-j120na Notebook PC.

  The question could be deemed to occur by downloading the update. It is difficult to say at this stage. As to return to it, your best bet would have been the restoration of the system, but you mentioned only that a system restore does not work because you do not have restore points.

  Have you tried to go into Safe Mode?

  You have media or recovery disk?

  Have you tried to do a Reset BIOS?

  Have you tried perform a hard reset?

  You have beep codes or flashing LEDs?

  Please ensure that all Bluetooth device that you use with the laptop is disabled (including mobile phone).

  Please note: delete all USB/Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

  You can update all your drivers by going to the Web site the driver HP or by using the HP Support Assistant. If you enter Safe Mode, I suggest trying to erase the driver that you have downloaded your downloads (or the folder that you saved it in), so I suggest to make updates using updates of Windows or HP Support Assistant for now.

  Please let me know if I answered your question by clicking the "Thumbs up" if the troubleshooting in this post steps solves the problem for you please click on the button "Accept as Solution" . This will allow to the others is that present the same problem a solution also. If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you.
