I've got this major bluescreen issue. Two days ago, I just restarted my pc for no particular reason, and when it was about to start it gives me this bluescreen. It starts up, I get the loading bar, but then bluescreen. I tried to chose any of the safe modes, but none of them work, just gives me the bluescreen again. To sum all this, I can?t start my computer due to a bluescreen issue, not even with safemodes. It gives me alot of text, but the screen dissappears after a few seconds so I can?t even read two lines. I'm running a HP Pavilion m8055.sc with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
I am trying to fix a laptop.. it is getting blue screen.. things i did
1. Replace ram 2. Tried booting on safe mode/ last good configuration both didn't work
When I put a windows cd for repair (windows XP Home) and boot from cd.. its goes on the window where I need to select 1.c:windows but when i select that.. it goes on blue screen again.. I removed the hard disk.. connect it externally and ran a chkdsk /r and chkdsk /f then put it back to the laptop still didnt work..
my sony laptop ( vgn-fz70b ) shutdown with no reason, all of a sudden when i try to restart i saw a blue screen of death and afterwards it shutdown and restart again.i try to press f8 to open in safe mode and to check what is the problem but unfortunately i cant access to safemode.i try to reinstall again the os but when i am in the part that choosing the drive i didnt see any drive. and < click load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation >.i stop downloading cause i cant see any harddisk on their.and i check bios setup..
boot priority order: 1:usb optical drive (*) 2:internal optical drive 3:floppy disk drive(*) 4:usb flash (*) 5:usb hard disk drive (*) 6:internal hard disk drive 7:network
there is no change values for all of these which supposed to be is to set them who is 1st,2nd,3rd. *-means this drive is available when external device boot is enable.
I keep getting this error constantly and its hard even to press F8 to get into the advanced start up options. I've tried running in safe mode and tried going to last know good startup point, but both end up giving me the bsod.
I'm getting a BSOD right when Vista gets to the login screen on startup. The system will boot to safe mode, but I have no idea how to fix it from there. This happened suddenly on a system that has been running stable for 6+ months. At first I thought that perhaps some of my RAM was bad, so I tried booting with just one stick in (I have 4x1gb), but it wouldn't boot on any of them. My other suspicion was that I had installed drivers for a new keyboard that night before (as that was the only recent change to my system configuration), so I deleted those, but that didn't help either. I'm thinking my next move is to flash my BIOS, but I'm running out of ideas......
This has not been a week that's made me much enamored of Vista. In order to troubleshoot my parents' Vista PC after their wireless mouse/keyboard suddenly stopped working after 4/9's automatic updates, I had to a do a system restore from Safe Mode. Their corded USB keyboard we got to work (along with a PS2 mouse) to do the fixing wouldn't work using the F8-method to get into Safe Mode, so I had use MSCONFIG to force a safe mode boot.
The system restore worked, and I've disabled automatic updates until MS comes out with a fix for the apparently widespread original problem, but now I'm stuck with a very frustrating situation. My parents' computer will only boot up into Selective Startup (which leaves some important things such as graphics drivers unloaded) or into Safe Mode. Within MSCONFIG, when I choose "Normal Startup", it automatically checks the "Safe Mode" Box in the boot tap, and when I uncheck that box, it automatically selects "Selective Start" on the previous tab. (I've tried hitting apply on each of the tabs, but it doesn't help). I've found a few other threads with this same problem across the web, but never found a solution.
I had tried to see if I could use one monitor for 2 computers and now I'm unable to get back to the way it was. In display settings they showed screen 1 and 2. I had asked to few screen 2 and that did it. There are no icons, nothing. Just background. No start either. I am however able to right click and get to the control panel, but some places will not respond like the one I need to get to. (Display settings) Safe mode won't even work. Can't even get to the registry.
I tried to install WINDOWS 7 THEME ( I know big mistake ) after changing these two files wscui.cpl wscntfy.dll in C:/ windows system32 I did change these to .old just incase there was a problem but they aint there now. So I have no controll pannel, and system restore isn't there either, I have tried in SAFE MODE aswell but this didn't work.
I have a file on my desktop called gv.com.gamesforwindows_640x360.mov. It was a video about gaming. It's 45.5 MB and I can't get it to delete. Right-clicking it and doing Properties doesn't open the Properties window. If I move it to the recycle bin (with the keyboard delete button or the mouse, or Shift and Delete) the "Calculation time remaining" delete dialogue comes up and the progress bar keeps on flashing, but it never deletes the file. The file does not seem to be in use by any programs. Renaming the file or its extension doesn't help. If I try to add the file to Kaspersky Anti-Virus' quarantine, even Kaspersky freezes in a not-responding state. Opening the file crashes the player. Using many force-deletion programs doesn't work either. I have even opened the file with Notepad and deleted the gibberish-text and tried to save it but that crashes Notepad! Safe Mode also doesn't work. Is there any other way to delete this file without attaching the drive to another computer and trying to delete it from there? If I boot with the Vista DVD and enter command prompt through it's Repair centre, what do I enter to delete it from there?
Normal & 'Safe mode' won't work for me, 'Repair...' either, so before I restore, I'd like to backup via C:/. Commands such as 'copy' & 'xcopy' copy files & folders to another location. I have an 8GB SD, but I don't know what drive is the reader. I've tried to access Vista by typing 'Windows' @ the C:/, but this messags returns: 'WINDOWS' is not recognized as an internal or external command' Windows is listed @ the 'Dir' command! What are the advantages of the C:/ anyway? Is C:/ the same as DOS?
I just built a new machine. It is identical to a co-workers machine that has zero issues with the OS. I get "Windows Failed to Start." Doesn't work in safe mode, either. Repair doesn't work. Here's the log that it spits out:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairV2 Problem Signature 01: External Media Problem Signature 02: 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386 Problem Signature 03: 0 Problem Signature 04: 65537 Problem Signature 05: Unknown Problem Signature 06: FailureDuringSetup.....
System would only boot up in safe mode, now there is a "unmountable boot volume" 0x000000ED. I just want the pictures off that drive. how should I get them if the operating system doesn't work? Can i plug the SATA drive into my Vista machine?
I have done a clean install of Vista Ultimate (64), and since then, everytime I start my computer, it fails to boot correctly. It passes the BIOS page, starts the animated bar at the bottom of the page, and a few seconds later, the screen goes blank, and my VDU gives the messgae, "NO SIGNAL" After about a minute, the system reboots to the BIOS page again and continues up to the animated screen, and stops again. After it self boots for a second time, I get the SAFE MODE option screen. If I leave it on START WINDOWS NORMALLY, and leave it to complete the 30s count down, It boots again, and then completes the boot into Vista. If at the count down screen, I press enter, it goes into a boot loop that doesn't stop until I press the reset button on my box.? I have done a re-install twice and problem continues.
I've been getting some troubles with my Vista computer booting up. Whenever I restart it (or even turn it off and then back on without leaving it for a long while), it will crash during the loading screen, and then restart, and then crash, creating an endless loop unless I boot up in Safe Mode. Once I'm up in Safe Mode, and go to restart, there are no troubles at all, and I can use the computer normally. So, for the time being, I must for boot up in Safe Mode and then restart in normal mode. Occasionally, I get a blue screen before the boot up fails and the computer shuts down, only to restart and continue the endless cycle. When I do get to the desktop (using the Safe Mode trick I mentioned earlier), I may get an error message, containing this info:.....
I have an Alienware M15x and am very cautious about installing anything on my computer. After some recent browser trouble I installed all the vista updates I could find. problem solved. This switched on the automatic updater so today when I logged on I received a message saying there was an update available so I decided I would get this last one before I switched it off. It downloaded installed and then shut down. Now I can't restart the computer at all. No safe modes work all I get is the blue screen with error message 0000000007E. I have tried a couple of recovery disks One wants to re-install windows and the other wants to restore the original factory setup. Please help I don't want to spend the next two weeks of my spare time re-installing everything. the things to destroy my computer I didn't think it would be microsofts own update
If in the event you have a Bluescreen first try this:~ A driver is a program that controls a device. Every device, whether it be a printer, disk drive, or keyboard, must have a driver program. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver when you connect the device to your computer. So, if you added a new device or updated your computer you will very likely need to update your drivers...
Goto Start click on it Goto Computer right click on it Click on manage Click continue
This opens a new window called 'computer management' Scroll down to device manager and click on it. On the screen is a list of all your 'DEVICES' start at the top and work your way down Right click on each device and click on properties. Up pops a little window that says this below:~ Click this bar to view the full image. Click on drivers Then click on update... Then do that for every driver and you should not have a Blue screen... Do this once a month!
with windows vista ultimate x64 and some other programs like anti virus pre installed. I started to have problems after a few days with the display driver nvlddmkm.sys and blue screen error IRQL not_less_than_or_equal_to. After trying many things like the new nvida drivers i gave up and used system restore to just after Vista was installed and before the drivers were installed. I was wondering if people could point me in the right direction so to avoid these apparently common problems in the future. Is there any updates or dowloads that should be obtained first. i was thinking the most recent nvida driver as the first thing to do.
New behavior. Never done before. I start up as usual....I get a blue screen. Nothing else. Nothing loads. Not a BSOD. A blue screen. Nice and pleasing. But, still....a blue screen. So I shut it down and restart. Takes longer than normal, screen stays black longer than normal but eventually gives me the Windows logo and WELCOME which means I'm in.
My friend at work forgot his password and cannot log onto his computer. He is running Windows vista home premium on a Compaq laptop. We tried to go into the safe mode but the only screen we get is his password sign on screen. Even during boot we pressed f8 key but the password screen came up. He is hoping someone has an idea or answer so he can avoid taking it into get looked at and paying money.
Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2. Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus. Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i) Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4 Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router. I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........
Recently after being infected with a virus the laptop goes to a black screen after the vista loading bar. In safe mode it freezes when loading crcdisk.sys System restore was disabled, so I couldn't do that. Startup repair didn't work. If this works I'm gonna post as much
Partial Bootlog:Code: -------------------- Did not load driver AFD.SYS Did not load driver AFD.SYS Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32DRIVERSUSBSTOR.SYS Did not load driver AFD.SYS Did not load driver AFD.SYS.....
i have both Vista and XP in my system with Vista in C drive and XP in D drive..i want to work in full screen mode of XP.. but in vista i cant do it...So each time i have to reboot my sytem and get into XP to do so..so if i can load already installed XP on my vista, it would be helpful...can anyone help me out..remember that i have installed XP and Vista already and i am not using any Virtual PC kind.
i wanted to shutdown my pc, so i press the red shutdown button in the start menu First odd thing happened: The computer went in some kind of "sleep mode" The screen was black, and my screen went in stand-by mode. The computer did not shut down. Whatever i did, the computer didnt go out of the sleep mode, smashed my keyboard, clicked my mouse, nothing happened. I was in a hurry so i had to shutdown my computer using the power button in my case. I cut off the power, and went away. The next morning, i plug the power back in and i try to start my computer again. The computer started the same way before i shut him down the day before: Fans are running, i dont hear my hard drive running, black screen, screen goes in stand-by mode after a few seconds. No boot menu, nothing immediately a black screeb Very odd, smashed keyboard again and again, pressed every button i could, but nothing happened. Even the leds on my keyboard werent lighted when the pc startsup, mouse does flicker.
Then i had the idea to maybe try and cut power again, and try again after that. So i did as i was thinking, cut the power, reconnected to electricity net, and start up again. This is when another odd thing happens: Everytime i cut power and try restart after reconnecting to power net, the pc goes to black screen fans running, shuts himself down again, and then immediately restarts 1 time. This happens EVERYTIME i cut power. After that he just stays in black screen, nothing happens. Does anyone know what is going on here? Yesterday he worked perfectly, but today he wont even start the bootup screen.
I have been playing around with my Vista for some days now. I patched my registry to account for custom visual styles and all. The computer responded fine to all these changes until today. I installed Desktop Maestro 3.0.0.830 which according to the internet is a decent registry cleaner and works with vista sp2.
What I learnt from the net is that desktop maestro will clean registry and will quicken my startup. So i ran it, and it came up with 937 problems in my registry. So the next thing i did was "Repair". and it did just that. But since then my computer hasn't been starting up at all. Before the login screen comes, i get a blue screen, which remains for too short a time for me to read, and reboots.
Turned the computer on in Safe Mode, which worked perfectly. Ran desktop maestro again, and restored the computer to a previous state. This didn't work. it kept saying C: has some errors please check. But the disk check doesnt work.......
Business with SP1 Sony laptop, fast core2duo, 4GB Defender+Avast! Working beautifully for many months, and then a few weeks ago this began happening:
Perhaps 2-3 times a week, and with no consistency of circumstances, a blue screen will appear. It might happen while working or when returning from hibernate. There's a countdown as memory is stored, and then a freeze. The only way to recover is to do a hard OFF (5 seconds on the power switch) and restart. When it first happened, I had not installed or changed anything, so I was comfortable doing a restore. It happened again.
It's confusing because the stated cause is inconsistent. I've checked to ensure that all drivers are updated and nothing that's contraVistarian is installed. What analytical steps can I undertake to discover what's causing this, and then to help me make the necessary changes?
I've tried and tried, please I hope you can help me. I have a Toshiba A215-4817 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. My troubles began when my cd/dvd was not operating properly. Toshiba support said my operating system was corrupt. I didn't believe that just because the cd/dvd wasn't working properly that the os is corrupt, maybe they were right.
I have extremely important info on my hd as I do taxes for a living.
In an effort to trouble shoot the cd/dvd I booted into safe mode. No-one tole me that the administrator account is disabled by default! So now I can't get out of safe mode. I have access to only my limited user account and uac is enabled. System restore doesn't change boot options.
I can't edit registry = access denied, cmd.exe when trying to activate administrator account = system error 5.
My son kept shutting the laptop w/o powering down and now it starts in safe mode. The first time I rebooted and this solved the problem but now that won't work. I can't get it to go back to normal. This has happened in the past but I can't remember what I did to fix it.
I had an issue with one of my games and it directed me to go into safe mode to uninstall it. Now that it's uninstalled, I can't get out of safe mode. I've been through this forum in and out. I've done nearly all the things that it has stated that come close to my issue. I'm still in here. I've been in and out for 3 hours now. I've gone through the msconfig, and told it to restart in normal mode, I'm still in safe mode. I've used the F8 button while starting it, and told it to go to safe mode, I'm still here. I've even checked to see if it was the resolution, I've set it to my default settings of 1280x720, and restart it, it's still in safe mode. I've done EVERYTHING that I can think of.
I press f5 or is it f8. but either way I get to the Safe Mood Selection screen and no matter what option I select, Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Prompts, of Safe Mood with Network support, it doesn't matter it boots normal to my user sign in screen and then it freezes.. no mouse or keyboard functions... If I run the recovery disk and tool options then mouse and keyboard work but I still cannot boot up in safe mode nor can I boot up normal.. I just need to get into safe mode and then I believe I can resolve this but since I can't get into safe mode I don't know what else to do?
