When I press on the power button, the pc doesn't run at all. Not even the processor. So far I have the the power supply change and also check all the power connectors to make sure they are not loose. I am not sure can the motherboard battery cause this problem?
View 6 RepliesI recieved the following message after a forced restart after windows updates were installed: "We are sorry for any inconvenience but Windows was unable to start successfully" My options are to start in Safe Mode , Last known config or normal. Safe Mode is the only thing that works. Also System Restore would not work Also System Recovery from Sony Vaio Recovery Wizard would not work
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell PC 8250 and over the past two yrs I have managed somehow to increase my start-up time by inadvertently adding to my start-up file. I understand that there is a way to eliminate items in the start-up file but having been to the site, I cannot determine which items to delete without messing up my system. Please advise, and maybe tell me what the basic start up should look like.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy old system hasn't been powered on for about a year. Problem was the onboard video failed replaced it with a video card from another system (riva TNT) and bought some memory system wouldn't boot, determined that the memory was bad Now the system booted but win2K wouldn't work. No problem I have XP now. After multiple error during the xp install I finally got through it.only the computer will only boot in safe mode. Initially thought it was a hardare conflict so I booted in safe mode with networking and systematically cleared all the yellow.
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn a not updated Version of Windows XP you can run (Start-run) "start"command at the Run dialog just typing it, when you update windows andwrite the same "start" into Run dialog Windows shows a error message >Windows cannot find `start`. Make sure you typed the name correctly,and then try again. To search for the file, click the Start button, andthen click Search.If you are in CMD the `start` command works fine but the problem is thein Run dialog windows doesn’t recognize it ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have experienced a sudden problem starting programs. The computer boots correctly, and all desktop icons appear correctly. But when I double click a desktop icon, or start a program from the start menu, I get a popup window displaying a list of programs and asking me which program I want to use to start the application. I select the correct program (or browse to the appropriate .exe file), but still the application doesn't start. This includes IE and Windows Messenger. My virus scanner was about the only thing that I could start up, and I did a system scan with Panda Anti-Virus, but it didn't show anything substantial (just some cookies).Using my WinXP set up disk,I've tried to do a repair (I guess reinstallation without reformatting the hard disk), but after I entered the License Key, the computer did a reboot and then stopped. It is stuck on the XP splash screen and won't go any further (I once let it run over night, but it was still frozen on the splash screen). I even tried to repeat the repair process, but that didn't work.Automatic updates did download an update just before this problem started (I think it was the day before the problems began). I don't know what this update was and I'm not sure it was SP3 (system does have SP2 installed).Considering that the computer freezes now when booting up, is there anything that I can do short of reformatting the Hard Drive? I also have another hard drive that I can use to install XP onto. Is there any way that I can rescue the data from the old Hard Drive and transfer to new drive?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do i get to the little menu where I can choose which applications automatically start up when Windows starts up and which do not? I forgot how to get to that menu but I remember that I could check and uncheck which things would start up, etc. The reason for this is because everytime I start windows, it tries to load my scanning software which I don't need started anymore due to the scanner not being connected at all anymore, and the un installation not going as properly as it should of.. but it just bugs me that it tries to connect to the scanner (with about 3-4 attempts) when Windows starts so this is my best option.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy compaq is having problems starting up. It makes a repetitious sound like the hard drive is trying to start but can't and will continue to do so indefinately or until it boots. So I assumed it was a hdd issue, however trying the hd in another laptop worked fine and an alternate hd in my Compaq has the same problem. It does start up occasionally, although it usually freezes half way through booting up, but can occasionally work upto half an hour.

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the Original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
So I enter the cd rom and press 'r' for repair, I choose C:windows, however before it can begin to repair it asks me for an 'Administration Password' which I have no idea of after many attempts.
I do not want to have to format the pc since I have some very important files on it. Any help is appreciated.

When i turn on my laptop I get a message that windows cannot start and I need to select from a list of ways to start..Each option brings me back to the same message and I cannot get the Windows System to start. The laptop is a Toshiba Sattelite and Windows is 2000 xp home edition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy PC just froze and I had to shut it down. when I tried to go a google search it wouldn't give me any results, just a black screen. Then it froze. From that point on it wouldn't load Windows XP. It just won't start it properly - it goes on to the Windows XP loading page with the little blue bar but then just clicks off and won't do what it usually does. At first it gave me an option of starting in safe mode, starting normally or using the last known configuration to start properly. Now it won't even give me that choice,
I think this may have something to do with the fact I've got two HD's in there (a 20gb as the C: drive then a 120gb extra that has been partitioned for storage). In truth, I'm not sure about anything though.
My real problem is that I can't get into Windows. I haven't backed up
Noise was coming from his pc towercase, we opened the case and found that some wires were pressing up against the side of case cooling fan, when we moved them, the noise dissappeared, however when we put everything back together and turned everything back on, we found that we'd get the Windows XP start screen for about 5- 8 seconds before the screen went absolutely blank. We opened the case again to see if we accidently disconnected anything, and tried again - without much success. Neither of us are particularly pc savvy, and realise we prolly should'nt have opened the case.

When we try to boot up the computer, it displays the Dell screen, then the Windows XP loading screen, then it just goes black. The backup XP discs are lost and I'm trying to help him get this computer running.
Also, I tried booting it in safe mode, however, a blue s creen popped up saying "STOP:c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Sesson Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down."
OS wouldn't start up. It'd show the loading screen for a long while, then the monitor would stop receiving any signal. When I restart, it shows a black screen with a blinking underscore.
I'm using Windows XP Pro.
I have a computer that is running a pre-installed XP Professional (I do not have the original installation disks).
I switched on my PC and instead of loading XP as usual.
My Pc won't start and no fans will run, not even the power supply fan. Suspected the power supply went out, but it checked out ok, so decided the Mobo was bad. Got a new mobo, but system still won't start and no fans will run and I have shorted across the Power SW pins. Does this automatically mean that the CPU is bad, or are there other possibilities?
