I've had issues with my PC booting up for a while now but usually after a few restarts it would work right. A few days ago it stopped booting. It would get through the system startup but would stop at a black screen when it should be loading the OS. I reinstalled the OS and it worked on initial startup. But once the PC was restarted the problem came back. I tried changing out the hard drive but the same thing happened. I then used a friends computer to download an ISO of windows 8 developer trial. It installed fine but upon restart did the same thing. Although windows 8 said something about not being able to find some windows start file. I'd rather not spend money buying things if they are not necessary.
i have two HP computers (DC7600c and DC7700c). I did a fresh install of Win 7 ultimate and when i click to restart computer from Win, PC wont start windows. But if i do cold start or chose shut down from Win then boots normal.
After downloading WIPZIP UTILITIES SUITE my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) will not boot up again after I click on the "restart" icon. The computer remains turned on but there is no activity from the hard drive and the monitor shows "no signal". I have to manually shut down the computer and then start it in the normal way before it boots up again.
Some weeks ago my desktop (Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit) started crashing sometimes, mostly when I put it into suspend mode. It could generally be restarted by powering up again, sometimes a couple of times. I didn't do anything unusual at the time such as major new hardware or programs.Now the problem is systematic and I can't really boot anymore in normal mode. Windows 7 hangs on the screen with the four-colored animated window early in the process.I've tried: * The auto-repair option when booting. This reports an error for which no solution is known:
StartupRepairOffline 1 6.1.7600.16385 2 same number 3 unknown
[code]...
* The repair tools on my Windows 7 installation disc. Again no joy.
* Re-installing Windows 7. I did this as an "upgrade", not as a completely fresh install, as I couldn't face re-installing programs and getting user data off and on. The re-install itself did seem to finish. But every time the computer had to be restarted it would freeze. I then turned it off and on manually, and it continued as expected.
* sfc /scannow
* Memory test
* Booting with a protocol file (F8, ntbtlog.txt).
* Fixing the master boot record.
I've not tried restoring to my only system image (9 months old), as I thought this cannot be better than re-installing Windows 7 while keeping the programs and user data ("upgrade"). I did make a Windows Easy Transfer copy of the user files one time when I managed to boot for some reason, so I'm not violently opposed to trying this if there's a good reason.I can start in safe mode. I think the attached protocol file shows two boots: First a regular one which fails, and then a safe mode which doesn't load a lot of stuff but which succeeds. In the first, regular boot there are a couple of drivers that don't load.
i just save my project and then after a few minutes i got BSOD i read "ntfs.sys" then i restart my computer and then my system won't boot, displaying in monitor is no cable connceted, but when i check it's ok.
Let me explain, I just noticed that when I restart my pc, the restart precess seems to hang at the motherboard screen for more then 3 times the time it does when I boot the pc from being switched off(a good 15-20 seconds at Mobo screen on restart).
The problem is I think it only started doing this after I accidentally uninstalled a hard drive driver and the pc shut down(and I think restarted). The hard drive seems fine now, the driver was reinstalled, I'm just a little concerned I could have caused a problem, or is this normal?
So the question is simple, Is it normal for a pc to take longer(at least 3 times) at the motherboard screen when you restart then when you boot up from an off position. If the answer is no then I suspect it could be something I've done to it, as I never noticed it taking that long before.
My basic pc spec is:
i5 2500 assus h67 8gb ram 560ti
I just checked, when I start up the pc normally it stays on motherboard screen for 6 seconds, when I restart it stays on the screen for 24 seconds.
I run 7 Home Premium, 64bit on a Toshiba Satellite L505. My chipset is from the Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series family. When I try to play 1080p or even 720p videos (doesn't matter if it's VLC or MPC, or whatever) my screen blacks for a second and then comes back with the 'display driver stopped responding and has recovered' message. Then the VLC window is green, and I can't play the video.
I've uninstalled and re-installed the Intel drivers from the Toshiba website many, many times, and nothing has worked to solve this problem. I already clean boot, so there aren't any conflicting programs that cause this. HOWEVER, I have noticed that if I start up my computer, then restart from the start menu, I am able to play the videos without a hitch. Then, if I completely shut down and turn it on again, the issue re-surfaces.
So, upon receiving a new Asus G53SW-XN1 laptop, I promptly put in a smallish SSD to serve as a Windows/common apps drive, moving the HDD to the other hard drive slot.
Fresh install of Windows 7, etc. At the moment, Windows will not boot up - no splash screen, no opportunity for Safe Mode, etc. But Windows is perfectly happy to run - if I boot off a CD, then hit 'Restart', everything starts up fine. The Repair Windows Installation option on the CD sees the Windows installation okay, and when asked to repair says 'no problems are found', and happily reboots. Some sort of MBR/partition issue that the Repair doesn't detect?
About 2 weeks ago my computer started experiencing some technical difficulties when the video card went out. The screen began to be cut up by 3 discolored bars running vertically spread out across the screen. Realizing this was a video card issue i went out and bought a new Nvidia Geforce 640 and replacing the old obsolete one. While looking for instructions online on how to properly install the new driver, i came across one that said to use this driver sweep program to wipe the driver from the system then restart and install the new software. upon using the program however i might have cleared another driver accidentally in the process. it was abbreviated ATG or something along those lines. When i finally physically installed the driver upon restart the video problems were all fixed and the graphics were back to normal. However,after bios i get a quick detecting arrays error that flashes for a fraction of a second ( i had to record it and pause it off my iphone to read the array error) and the computer automatically reboots upon getting to the windows 7 logo.
I have been having this problem for the past 2 months now where my computer would not start after complete shutdown, but if i start the computer press F8 and boot in safe mode it boots ok and if i restart it, the computer starts back fine. I have tried diagnostic tests on my hardware (HDD, RAM, CPU, MB) and all have passed. Neither has there been any voltage fluctuations or any type of physical damage to my computer hardware
i am a newbie as far as computer hardware is concerned. after struggling for days to install windows 7 onto my new pc which came without and 0s installed,[code] it list the 465 which i use for storage but the 30gb where the 0s is installed dosent show. surely if the hard drive had a problem the 465gb wouldnt show as it an te 30gb makes up te 500gb? i tried selecting the 465gb volume enter and then exiting diskpart then it says BOOT MGR IS MISSING PRESS CTRL +ALT+DEL TO RESTART..so basiclly i have read almost all forums concerning this and followed most of the steps listed above for however mine says boot manager missing or corrupt, wen ever i run start up repair its says start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically.
I just installed a new window 7 ultimate os to my 32 bit system and I doing something with my disk management. I actually delete the 21mb unallocate space in my disk management. After that I do some my work and browse the internet and shutdown the system but when I again starting my computer. It will nor work only a message appear on screen ...
Boot manager is missing .. Press cltr+altr+del to restart... Again and again only this message ...
I try to go boot manager by pressing f2 ,f12,f8 it it doesn't work, only pressing delete button it shows some options. It try to install a new os but it is not reading my cd/dvd or usb. When it check options it shown a massage that they are disable. Some stuff to enable my usb, dvd port or any way to start my system....
I fell asleep with my PC on and woke up with it stuck in sleep mode. I performed a hard shut down via holding down the power button for several seconds. Now the pc will not post and my monitor claims no signal. No beeps from the Mobo speaker. I've replaced my cmos battery so far.Mobo is an asus m3a79-t Deluxe and I've heard some issues of bios not supporting sleep modes?
I plugged in a new hard drive planning to upgrade by cloning, then suddenly my computer restarts and it continuously cycles... I disabled the restart on automatic failure to see the bsod and it says: [code] I don't have the windows recovery disk.I can remove the hard drive and plug it into my laptop but I have no idea what to do from there..
I have purchased an OEM pc yesterday and I installed windows 7 x64 on it. Everything went great with installation. No errors or anything. But when I restarted my computer, after the motherboard splash screen a black screen with a blinking cursor top left appears and windows doesn't boot. But sometimes, especially when I wait a few minutes to turn it on it boots normally till I shut it down. It is so random.

Running Win7 64 bit, built this computer back in December, has worked flawlessly until now. Last few days - operates fine for an hour or so, then freezes, goes black, crashes and reboots itself, only to stop at the loading OS screen due to 'Boot Disk Failure' Happens regardless of what I am doing, or even if idle. Have updated windows, ran virus and malware scans.

All Critical errors are event 41, Kernal Power - but I'm sure thats from me hardbooting on the disk failure.
I have a HP labtop and my laptop froze all of a sudden so I did a hard restart of the computer. After restarting the computer I am no longer able to boot my computer up, the screen will go black sometimes after the log in screen. But now I do not even get the option to go to the log in screen now it just goes to the startup recovery stage. Everytime I try to fix start up I get startup repair off line following by the details of 0.00000 or something like that. The numbers are all zeros in the details but I tried other options like restoring to a previous point and I keep getting errors.
I was using the computer when all of a sudden it shut down. When I turn it back it on, it automatically tries to do a Start-up Repair. After several minutes, I get the message: "Start-up Repair cannot this repair this computer automatically." When I click on "View problem details," everything looks fine except for "Root cause found: Boot critical file D:CI.dll is corrupt." This happens every time I try to restart the computer. I've tried System Restore and System Image Recovery to no avail.
I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:
"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."
I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.
I do not want to do custom install (fresh install) on my computer.
I have Win 7 Pro on a Thinkpad T510 and I updated the Avast engine. It asked for me to restart the computer. It progressed as far as the "Logging off" screen an stopped. I have manually stopped the computer with the power button but when I power it back on I go to the same "Logging off" screen. I have a restore point but can't get to it unless I can start up the computer at least in Safe Mode. Unfortunately I don't have a boot disk. After years of computing this may be the first time I have needed one.
Bit of a weird one this. My PC won't restart. When I try to get it to restart, it will stay on the black screen right at the very beginning but with nothing else happening; no disk activity or anything. The only remedy is for me to switch it off via the power button and then switch it on again - it boots fine from this. It shuts down absolutely fine, and there are no other problems with my system at all. It's actually more of annoyance than anything else as there don't appear to be any other adverse effects at all. I am guessing it's a mobo issue, but really, I'm stumped.
my pc with a GA P35 dq6 motherboard with a 2.7 CPU intel celeron dual core with a radeon 5850 graphics card works fine until you restart. when you do a reboot or restart, the system shuts down and lights up then shuts down in a loop. it does not turn on. but when you shutdown and turn it on it works fine. only when you do a restart
I installed windows 7 on a brand new HDD,i updated all the drivers of chipset etc,the computer runs fine,but the only problem is that when i try to make it restart the screen goes black, the keyboard and mouse also,but the fan and the pc keeps running, i tried to set the bios to default but nothing,so i tried to restart it from the safe mode,from the same mode it loggs off ok but when the shutting down screen comes it freezes there,so i am guessing its the same thing happening to the normal restart. I tried uninstalling all the newly added programs but still the same thing,i tried resseting the ram but still the same
I've created an application like windows 7 toolkit and i need to restart all the process including explorer.exe(and all its child processes) excluding the application i've created.is there any batch commands or batch file that would restart all the processes running on my laptop except the one I've created.
I have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on HP DV4-1199ee. The battery is connected and it is working on power is plugged on. When I leave the laptop for long time, I found the the laptop has restarted. This tell that the computer restart instead of sleep.
I have installed windows 7 on a very old HP compaq Evo and it works perfectly but only if I switch OFF and ON, if I have to restart it just don't switch back ON it gives me a black screen.
So I've been messing around with varrious drivers to try and get "RAGE" working and to make this tumultuous process more agravating I've somehow inadvertently uninstalled my USB drivers as well.This wouldn't be an issue, except that my computer has no PS2 ports.I used "GPU caps viewer" to check my driver version as I'd not noticed a change in my gaming performance and I was unsure if the 11.10 preview 2 drivers had been installed. "GPU caps viewer" said i was still running 11.8 which is what I had before I tried changing drivers last time. So I guessed that my drivers had not changed dispite the fact i uninstalled/reinstalled using the guide on the AMD /ATI site.So on a bunch of sites I saw people were using "Driver Sweeper" to get rid of the registry files and hidden bits of the ATI/AMD drivers. I used this application, it found; stuff removed it and then asked if i wanted to reboot. Which I figured after Uninstalling the Drivers and this program tooling around it was probably required sooner than later to finish the uninstall.At this point the drivers are "uninstalled" and the generic windows driver is working because my resolution/aspect ratio is stuck at 4:3 and wont go 16:10/16:9.AND more importantly my USB devices were all still working.I restart the computer and It loads windows and I try to type my password and nothing happens, The mouse cursor is in the middle of the screen and I can not move it, and there are no lights on my keyboard. The optical sensor in the bottom of my mouse Also does not light up.I restart again, and check the BIOS, all USB ports are enabled, so I try booting in to safe mode. I can use my keyboard to work in the BIOS, and to select "Safe mode with networking" (vs safe mode with out)When safe mode loads, same issue. No power to USB devices.I tested a bunch of devices; xbox controler; USB memory stick, external HDD etc. and none work.I don't know what to do; the mouse and keyboard work in the recovery partition installed on my HDD, but I really don't want to lose all that data. Ill probably end up using a live CD of linux to get my files and then format the PC if I can't figure out how to fix this.
The last few times I have restarted my windows 7 PC everything goes according to how it should, the desktop appears in under two minutes but nothing will work. I can click on any icon and nothing happens then after about 20 minutes evey programme I clicked on earlier will open one after the other. after closing these progs the comp performs normally, I noticed that even Ctrl alt and delete does nothing during this period of disobedience, anyone had this before? It's a hi-spec machine with 4 gigs of mem
it is a week or so that I have a problem with my PC.When I shut down the PC, instead of turning off, he restart.Before restarting, for a brief moment I can see a BSOD screen, but I cannot read it.After the PC restart, I see a small window telling me that the PC was restored due to an error. [code] A week and a half ago, I installed two add-on cards ( a PCI USB card and a PCIE USB 3.0 card), and with the PCI I has troubles to make it run, so I uninstalled it and I sent it back to the store.With the USB 3.0 instead everything was fine.I dont know if this is related to the problem I have right now.
I cannot restart my computer. I go to Start > Restart, it shuts down but it doesnt do anything else, i just get a black screen (as if it is suspended). So I have to press the button to shut it down and then press it again to turn it on.
