As the topic name says, the CPU's splash screen stays on the display for about 5 min, and I can not acces BIOS, aside from that everything works fine, after its gone windows boots up normaly.
View 3 RepliesI have a Windows XP Professional Edition and i incurred a spyware virus on my PC, so i made a dumb decision by running MSCONFIG and changing my SAFEBOOT option, I did this because previously I couldn't even get into Safe Mode, it would load the files on the screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWoke up this morning and thought I'd do some work - one problem, computer doesn't work.I turn it on and all is well through POST up until it's time for windows to do it's thing. I get the windows XP (SP2) loader screen with it's lovely blue bar beneath the writing and then after that screen disappears it reboots. Every time I try, even in safe mode, alst known good configuration and indeed on my second windos installation (on a different partiton).
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am working on a Dell Optiplex GX270 that will not boot past the splash screen in normal mode, nor will it go into safe mode. I'm not getting any errors, just a very faint splash screen. So far I've tried (with no success):
1) changing power supplies
2) put in a new video card
3) put in a different hard drive with a fresh Windows XP install
4) different memory
I'm working on a Compaq Deskpro EN500 running Windows XP Professional SP2 (with all patches and updates), current antivirus and antispyware, and firewall. The system was working fine, user was online browsing the web when the system froze. The mouse froze, etc. Start button could not be accessed. The user shut down the system with the power button. When he turned it back on, he was greeted with the standard Microsoft 'an error has occured' screen' and given the choices of Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good
Start Windows Normally
When I choose any of these, I can get as far as the Windows XP splash screen and then the system seizes. I can get into the Windows Recovery Console. I have run a CHKDSK /P /R and a FIXBOOT. CHKDSK returns no errors. I'm not sure what to try next short of a rebuild.
I have been experiencing intermittent bootup problems with Windows XP. When this happens, the XP splash screen appears(blue line scrolling) and then monitor loses signal and reboot occurs. This can cycle several times, even if I choose the option of starting Windows with last known configuration that worked. It always eventually loads and reports that Windows experienced a serious problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTurn the computer on, it starts to boot, I see the compaq splash screen then the blue windows is starting. Then it just restarts the process over. I have tried to repair windows: The F8 to last known good config & F8 safe and it just restarts from both of those as well. Win XP SP3 Currently doing this: You can boot from the cd and press R to go to the recovery console. Your best bet is to try running Checkdisk. So once in the recovery console, type chkdsk /r and press enter. It could take from 20 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the repairs it needs to make

The basics: XP Professional Boot up screen, right before the windows loading screen, or direct after the F8 Menu if you hit "Start Windows Normally..." it will just lock up, no HDD activity, blank screen. now BSOD, nothing.
All 3 safe mods work fine.
Ran chkdsk /r in recovery.
Ran proper fixboot procedure.
Went into safe mode and checked the event viewer.
The only concerning message i got was: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AmdK8
Fips
nod32drv
Formatting really isnt an issue since i can back up anything i need through safe mode. However its just the fact that the Windows gremlin has struck me again and i must defeat it once more.
I highly doubt this is a hardware issue as it is more of a driver/software issue.any help?
i'm having to boot into windows xp. on power up sytem goes through the windows xp splash screen (with progress bar) and then instead of login prompt it goes just into the blue screen with moveable mouse pointer arrow.

but recommended solutions didn't help so far.
symptoms just before issue - was not able to run use some system features - utility to turn off the display, utility to bring up battery info - everything was working fine before this
what i've tried:
boot to Last Known Good Configuration - resulting in the same blue screen
boot to Safe Mode / Safe Mode with networking / Safe Mode with comman prompt - resulting in blank (black) screen with "Safe Mode" in the corners and moveable mouse test the hardware (hard drive / memory etc.) via build in PC Doctor - all seems to be working
i am able to use bootable XP CD from other machine to get into Recovery Console
i am able to boot to simple live XP using BartPE-XPE usb key and access the hard drive
Was working fine this morning but this afternoon - Upon startup everything runs fine until after the windows splash screen everything goes black and the only thing visable is a cursor, but nothing to click, cannot ctrl=alt=del, cannot right click. Cannot enter safe mode at all, last good configuration doesn't work either. Computer is still running, fan whirring, lights flashing. Fan has been cleaned and power supply checked, no change. Cannot get into anything to run explorer or virus check. She is running Windows XP SP3. I'm unsure of when sp3 was installed. I understand this may be an issue, along with video and graphics drivers, display settings, corrupt registry, flat CMOS battery or loose internal connections.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIve done a fair amount of searching online and tried a number of things myself, needless to say, they didnt work.Ok, so here's the issue; When I go to turn on my computer, I make it to the XP splash screen with the 3 blue bubbles moving left to right... But nothing from there.Additionally, between the BIOS screen and the XP splash screen, theres some weird black screen with what looks like a long barcode-esq bar, where a solid white line fills the gaps moving left to right...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI boot my xp machine but it hangs at the xp splash screen.It's not like it's frozen, the blue bar under the "windows" just scrolls and scrolls and scrolls, etc. The same happens when I try booting to VGA mode.I am able to boot to safe mode, just not completely. I get to a screen that says " Safe mode Microsoft (R) Windows XP (R) (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.05001-119: Service Pack 2) Safe Mode.I can also see the mouse moving around, just nothing else. Nothing was added, removed or installed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis problem started several days ago. On restart the XP splash screen loads but freezes as the progress bar is in motion. After rebooting several times it does load to the desktop, but on restarting again it hangs.
I have searched reference articles, forums, etc and have found others have the same problem and have narrowed it down to nvidia drivers and hardware conflicts that load after 'mup.sys' in the boot up process.I had installed a nvidia graphics card and driver before this problem began but then uninstalled, deciding to keep the on board sis igp. I have downloaded driver cleaner and removed all traces of the nvidia driver but the problem persists..I am running XP sp2, p4 3ghz, foxconn motherboard, sis 661fx graphics.
My PC has developed a problem and I'm looking a solution. What I'm seeing is that when I boot my PC, it gets to the splash screen and I see the scroller moving but that's it. No color changes no BSOD, etc. At this point, I've been able to restore my system using an Acronis full system recovery but I would like to know what's going on behind the scenes when the progress bar moves but nothing.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a BSOD. Everything seems fine--it is at least getting to the boot.ini since I get an OS selection--W2K or the Recovery Console. The W2K splash screen comes up, the blue hash marks scroll about half way across the bottom, halt, then BSOD "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE". I tried the Recovery console, but that BSODs as well. I used ERD to run CHKDSK --- no errors. Possibly the hdd? ERD took a loooong time to read what OSs were on the hdd--five minutes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am new here and I consider myself very knowledgeable on a computer but this one has me pulling my hair out. I have seen posts for similar situations but nothing identical to mine. What I have is a Dell E520 and we had a power serge and the computer shutoff. When the computer was turned back on it P.O.S.T. fine, loaded to splash screen and then once that is done loading I get a blank screen. Nothing. I reset go to safe mode, works fine, loads into safe mode. I try to load safe mode with networking, will not work. So I went back to safe mode and tried to do a system restore, told me it was disables and I would have to go back and enable it in regular mode.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Dimension 4600. I got a new 80gb hard drive and wanted to clone it with the current 20gb drive. I took both drives and connected them to a different pc that had norton ghost on it. After cloning, which went fine, I placed them back into the Dell with the 80 gig set as master, and the 20gb set as slave. The computer would post normally and boot to a black screen with a blinking cursor, this happned right after verifying dmi data pool. It would hang at this screen never getting to the windows loading screen.
I returned the 20gb to the master drive and set the 80gb as the slave. It booted fine. After getting into windows I saw it was reporting the 80gb as C: and the 20gb as D:. I changed the drive letter of the 80gb (in safe mode) to G:. After changing it the computer would freeze at the XP splash screen, however I still had control of the mouse. I believe this was caused from windows search for the page file on C: which no longer existed............
my PC that the screen goes black at the XP Home splash screen. When I boot into the safe mode I get to the login screen then the screen goes black.
I have removed and replaced the video card and also tried using the VGA mode. Same problem. Any thoughts?
Today, I tried to start up my XP computer; it gets to a splash screen saying that the motherboard is optimised for the Intel-P4 combination (which always pops up after POST and before the system boots up) and it just stopped. Rebooting encounters the same problem.I can't boot from floppy, CD, or DVD drives, and cannot get to the BIOS setup (hitting the appropriate key just gives me a blinking cursor on a black screen with which I can't type).There is obviously something seriously wrong, but it's beyond my very limited skills.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to switch my pc off before shutting down properly earlier today. Each time I attempt to boot, I get the message windows did not start properly etc. and I am given a choice of whether to start in safe mode, last known setting that worked, or normally, etc. When attempting to start normally, I get the windows xp splash screen whith the progress bar for a few seconds, then at the point it would normally switch to the blue password prompt, the screen goes black. No error message, no cursor, no nothing. The system just hangs. It does exactly the same when I try 'last known settings that worked'. On trying in safe mode, the list of drivers it is attempting to load comes up, fills the screen, and then just stays like that.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently had my motherboard changed on my Intel Pentium IV 1.6 GHz PC due to some serious problems.Now, I'm again suffering from problems. Once I boot it, POST is displayed, and the Windows splash screen appears. Very often, the screen goes blank. It seems that everything else is working. If I press Alt+F4 followed by a 'u' (To select the 'turn off' button), I hear the Windoze shut-down sound and the computer shuts down.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded and registered VMware Server so I could make my own virtual machines. I was planning to try Ubuntu and Solaris. VMware made my Ubuntu virtual machine so then I tried to install Ubuntu on it using the alternate CD (I didn't have the live disk on hand). The install went fine for a while, but eventually the screen started to blank, return, and blank again. Finally it blanked and wouldn't return. I saw the Ubuntu workspace switcher in the lower right-hand corner and the Ubuntu logo in the upper left-hand corner, but everything else was black. I tried to do a ctrl+alt to jump back to Windows, but the VM screen shrank and parts of the windows I had open in Windows showed up, but the screen was mostly white.
