Windows XP update ruined my laptop. It lights up!

I connected my powered by USB external hard drive to my laptop Dell Inspiron 5150 several days before and noticed that he does not have enough power to turn on and be recognized by my laptop.  I noticed Windows update 'shield' icon down in my Windows Xp taskbar in the buttom right corner telling me that I have an another Windows XP update downloaded automatically, I need to install.  It seemed that the downloaded Update deploys Windows XP saying my laptop to turn off USB power.  I didn't install the update at the time.  I just wanted to open my external hard drive and access my files.  So I tried to stop my laptop and restart it.  I went in the beginning--> Shut Down.  As Windows XP tried to stop, I am one of those that always too familiar "running the program" dialog boxes and you are given the option to 'End now' or 'Cancel '.   That one was about power management.   I chose end now and got the "closing Windows...» "screen.  The laptop sitting right here on this screen.  I look forward and be maintained on the power button to force it to close so that I can try to run to the top to try to get to my files in my external hard drive again.  But when my laptop goes off, I can't turn it back on again.  I kept pressing the power button, but it will not only turn on.  I kept pressing the power button, but nothing.  My cell phone was dead.  Then, after some time, when I was ready to give up, I tried the power button one last time and he finally turned on and started to the login screen and I was able to connect.  When I plugged my external hard drive this time, he did get enough power from the USB to be recognised by my laptop.  I was able to get the files I needed.  I thought that the problem itself.  I use my laptop for a few days.  Today, I tried to turn on my laptop, but you have the same problem.  It lights up.  This doesn't seem to be a hardware problem, because I was able to turn on the laptop once after close the forced.  This suggests that Windows XP has been playing with my BIOS of laptop computers, while he was taking so long to stop.  So is it possible to fix this?

Hello

It could be a problem with your power adapter. I suggest you use another card and see if the problem is resolved. To get help, I suggest you to check with the manufacturer of the system.

Thanks and regards.

    Hello

    I understand how frustrating. Generally, the software does not affect any material of the computer/laptop. If can still run your laptop on in any case, we recommend that you press f8 at start up and run it in safe mode. If you were able to run in safe mode, we recommend to uninstall Windows Live Family Safety to isolate the cause of this problem. You can see the link below for how to do it:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    If you were unable to complete the steps above, then we recommend that you contact your laptop manufacturer for more help. It is possible that there is a problem with the hardware itself (hard disk, memory, battery, etc.).

    Thank you!

  • Firefox crashes Windows after updating to 38

    It, I run Windows 8.1 on a laptop Lenovo Y510P SLI and after the upgrade to 38 launch of firefox blocks the BONES together. The screen freezes, the mouse or the keyboard are insensitive, but will continue to play all of the sounds in the background for a few more minutes until it stops too and the only thing I can do, it's power button to force a shutdown. I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia geforce experiencr a few days ago and the firefox 38.0.5. I tried to download the developer edition, but the situation is the same - I see a UI very distorted and if I press the menu button, the system hangs. What should I do to solve the problem?

    You can run Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any less crashy?

    If the problem not occur until you run some Flash Media, want to set the Flash Click-to-play (Ask 'activation'). This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve.

    To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you do not need to Flash, just ignore the notification.

    It is also, some standard advice that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media to ensure that they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

    (2) turn off the hardware acceleration in Flash

    Right-click the press and choose settings, then the first mini tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    (3) turn off mode protected (Windows Vista and later)

    The functionality of the safe_mode of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but there seem to be some compatibility issues on some systems. There is a hidden for this parameter:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    Any improvement?

    The problem occurs when you change your hard drive for a bigger, in my hard drive of the case a GB Western Digital 340 WD 750 GB drive hard.

    For the Windows automatic updates again you need update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driverdriver. It will not be updated when you have intel check your drivers! For me, only the 9.5.6.1001 version worked. This driver can be found at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02219204 .
