Halts At Startup And Inside Windows - Monitor Go Blank

Jun 5, 2008

I start computer and during windows xp logo booting screens the monitor will go blank (orange light by monitor power button) and keyboards lights will turn off numlock caps and scroll lock will not turn them back on and the little light on my wireless usb mouse reciever goes out. however the pc front lights disc tray and network lights remain on and fan is still going. but sometimes i do manage to get passed the startup (10% of the time) and into windows for about 10-30 minutes before the same blank screen freeze up happens. i know its not totally a videocard monitor issue because not just the monitor goes blank everything stops responding......

System Halts At Windows Logo

Mar 18, 2007

I was trying to fix problems with my flash player installations and was reading about registry editing that was supposed to be done (hclass_root). I tried to make the changes and got nervous about it. I wanted to back out but instead I clicked OK. Now my machine boots up to Window logo and stays there instead of showing the users list.

Monitor Goes Blank

Aug 20, 2005

My computer is having some trouble. When I try to boot it up I get nothing from the monitor(LCD). This happened a while back and all I did was took the power cord to the monitor out, and plugged it back in. It worked like that for 2 months or so. Today he calls me and he is having the same problem. So again I unplugged the cord and replugged it back in. I got signal but it immediately went blank again. It will only work for 1 second. What could be causing this do you think? I hooked up two other monitors to his computer also. One of them (older one not sure if it works 100%, wouldn't see why not) would BOOT up fine, then once you got to login it would go black, and do exactly what the LCD did. I could unplug it plug it back in for some video. Then I brought over my monitor. It works 100% and I didn't get any video at all with it. I tried other power cords/outlets etc. What do you guys think it could be?

New Computer Communicating With LCD Monitor On Startup

Aug 13, 2006

I have a new emachnies T6528 computer hooked up to a "Balance digital technology" 17" LCD monitor.If I go to start, shutdown, and then restart, the computer will restart fine again and again. However, if I go to start, shutdown, and "turn off" and shut the computer completely down, then hit the computer power button to start the computer a few hours later or the next day, the monitor says there is no signal. I tried turning the monitor power button on and off. I also tried moving my mouse. The computer does not seem to start or do anything and the only way to turn it off is to cut the power by unpluging it or turning off the switch at the surge protector. Just pushing the computer power button will not turn off the computer when this happens.I checked the cable connections and they are good. For some reason, after cutting the power and turning on the computer again a second time, it works. I have been through the scenaro several times and it works the same way each time.

Startup: Computer Freezes And Goes Blank?

Feb 15, 2007

I have recently installed windows on my computer which was fine. After some use the computer freezes and goes blank, this is normally an hour or so after I have been using it. I then have to manually restart the computer and it freezes just after the BIOS information comes up but just before the XP loading screens comes up. In BIOS I change some of the settings and it works again but then the same thing happens again. Now I cant even load from the hard drive because some of the windows files are corrupted.

Startup Blank Screen / Blinking Cursor

Jul 25, 2010

When I try to start up my machine, the Dell boot screen with the F2 and F12 options appear, but instead of moving on to the Windows XP loading screen, it simply shows a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left. I cannot type anything with this cursor. There is clearly something wrong with the boot procedure or, I think, with my hard drive. The hard drive (160gb) is new and has been working well since February.I'm using a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop. I've run Diagnostics with no errors, booted from XP CD to try bootcfg /rebuild, fixboot & fixmbr, and the lengthy chkdsk /r, all to no avail. I've even tried replacing two NTLDR files by copying them from the XP CD. Nothing has worked; I still have a black screen with a flashing cursor when my HDD should be loading. I've tried removing and reinserting the HDD itself, also to no avail. I haven't yet opened the case up to try to see if there's anything to clean or any botched connections, but I don't see how something like that would have happened on its own. All of my components (RAM, HDD, Video Card, Processor, etc.) seem to be recognized in the BIOS menu.

I should note that when I run chkdsk /r, the progress quickly gets to 25%, slows down and takes a while to get to 51%, and then slows down even more and takes maybe two or three hours to complete. I also notice that the progress advances to about 65% sometimes and then returns to 50% again. I've run chkdsk several times now and there's been no improvement in the startup.I realize I could simply reformat and reinstall Windows, but I have a lot of very important data and work stored on my drive that I hadn't had a chance to backup to my external drive. Please let me know if there's a way I can get the startup to work so that I can access my files again.

Settings That Windows Always Appear In The Border Of Monitor

Jul 1, 2005

I've got my taskbar on top of my screen. Works nice, controls all on top decreases mouse moves.But one thing is frustrating. Some applications always have their title bar under (behind) the taskbar. Therefore I have to resize and move the window to have them with the title bar just below the taskbar.Is it possible to make programs/OS remember the window locations so it will be under the taskbar when I startup the program after I shutted it down?Or is there a setting to make windows always appear in the are between he borders of the monitor and below the taskbar

Monitor Turns Off Immedialy After Windows Starts

Jan 27, 2005

I cannot figure this out. I turn on my computer, everything loads and runs like normal. The windows bar thing runs (im running SP2) and then when the actual GUI is about to come up the monitor turns off. The monitor says to check my connections... been there done that. Ive tried 3 different monitors and all do the same thing. The computer isn't going to sleep either because it wont wake up no matter what. Its got to be a program or virus something because i can start in safe mode. Ive run nortons to no avail, and with the latest update.

IE6 Blank Popup Windows

Nov 30, 2004

This one has stumped me but I believe the cause is related to the million versions of security dlls MS has created pre-and post sp2.

The symptoms:

Linked popups in IE generate a blank window.

Event viewer property pages do not open Services property pages do not work
Javascript "A disk error has occurred during a read operation"
Firefox opens the window but also adds a second blank one for a popup
Links in outlook emails open fine in new window
AOL webmail works correctly new window with email in it

Since this behavior arrived out of the blue and is specific I believe some proximate events were:

Install and de-install Pluck (RSS browser tool)
Install and de-install Java V1.5 SE
AOL homepage saying it was upgrading (AOL mail does work)

To resolve this I have:

Used Iefix to deinstall reinstall IE
Updated to all fixes sans sp2
run sfc /scannow
downloaded current scripting engine from MS
re-registered all suggested dlls for ie6
run current Macafee on everything
gone through MS knowledgebase

I did find two other users having the same problem with an extensive list of possible resolutions, none of which have worked.

PC Boots To Windows, But No Display / Getting Blank Screen?

Oct 17, 2006

I'm trying to solve a video issue on my friend's pc with windows xp home. He just bought a new video card (Ati 9550 256mb AGP) and he ended up disabling the old video card in device manager. Now, no matter if he installs the new or old card, the screen goes black right before it goes into the desktop. He can hear sound, such as the windows sound. He went into bios, but there's no video options, as this is a custom built PC. He tried to go into safe mode, but that doesn't work..same black screen.

Installing Windows: Goes To Blank Screen After Detecting Hardware Settings?

May 25, 2005

Okay, I bought a new mobo and set up a clone pc. ASrock combo mobo (the one with socket 754 and 939). I have everything set up right, POST confirms. Everything is good, POST works fine. I've got a formatted hard drive, no OS on it. I'm trying to install Windows to that OS, but it will not install. It goes to a blank screen after detecting my hardware settings. Wasn't sure if this topic should have gone in OS or hardware, so i put it here. I've tried 2 windows CDs and a Linux DVD on 2 different disc drives, and still nothing works past the "setup is detecting your hardware settings" screen. I have no idea what to do.

Cleaning The Inside Of Pc

Nov 25, 2006

Dusting out the entire inside of my pc. i noticed that the fan that cools my pc is full of dust, will removing the small fan covering the cpu cause any problems. like cuasing me to do a clean install because i removed the cpu? i just want my Computer clean and free of all the dust.

If i were to remove the CPU to dust it and put it back , would it be like any other hardware, i.e. the memory where i can just remove it and put it back with no further actions to take, or is it way different?

Random Beeping From Inside Computer

Apr 1, 2008

I have a random beeping noise coming from inside my computer. It happens daily, for no specific reason I can think of... it sometimes beeps when Im away from the computer.I say inside the computer, because I have the volume muted and I still hear it loud and clear, like a warning beep.I searched a few posts already, but cant seem to find a solution. Someone mentioned it might be the fan. Can someone be so kind to run me through the HOW TO turn off the Smart Fan thingy (hehehe...Im a beginner...I really dont know what Im talking about lol)I think Im suppose to go into BIOS and turn something off, but I dont even know how to do that. I follow instructions very well, so if you could talk me through it, I can give it a go without having to take it to someone.

I've done Ad-aware, AVG, Panda, and Ewido scans on the PC but everything appears clean.

System Halts - Need To Reboot

Jan 10, 2005

A friend of mine is having a really hard time figuring out why her computer keeps freezing so I said I would ask you knowledgable people here. She hardly ever uses it and has almost no programs on it but just surfing the net or even poking around the desktop will freeze the computer. Nothing to do but reboot Ctrl-alt-del won't even work. She's tried spybot, adaware, hijack this, housecall etc and I checked it out myself. I'm sure there is nothing like that on her computer. So we can rule that out. She's installed a couple of RAM and HD testers all came back fine. She does have a firewire card installed and if she attempts to use it (for transferring movies) it will freeze for sure. This could be lack of RAM even though you only need 64MB (she has 256MB) as per the box requirements. Could the firewire be affecting everything else even when not in use? Could a windows file be missing? A setting somewhere perhaps? Hardware or software conflict?

Computer Halts When Browsing

Aug 20, 2005

Recently my computer has started to freeze up or 'hang' (I think that's the right term). I use my computer for internet access almost exclusively, be it browsing, internet telephony, downloading stock data, or cleaning the fish at the poker tables (but more on the poker app in a second). I am using FireFox with tabbed browsing; everything will be normal then suddenly I won't be able to tab back and forth between open windows. Clicking on any icon on my computer brings about no response. The solution is always the same I click control alt delete and bring up the windows security dialog box. I click on Task Manager and nothing happens. THEN - I click on Task Manager a second time and the TM pops up. The weird thing is I don't have to do anything else. Task Manager shows all programs as running and then I simply close Task Manager and all programs are again functioning normally. Somehow the process of opening the TM clears the freeze-up. This is happening with all programs EXCEPT- my poker client, which doesn't freeze up at all - I can play poker or chess through the ICC BlitzIn client and there is no freeze-up. It is only when I am browsing, or using the Skype internet telephony client, that this happens, and I believe it is only when the browser is up. I have run complete Trend Micro Scans which discovered a few problems including asujuja.exe. I fixed all problems found at Trend Micro Housecall. I ran a bunch of other scans and cleaners that I have. I am going to do a defrag of my HD tonight. I downloaded the latest version of FireFox and installed it over top of the older version I had but this didn't work. Does this ring any bells with anyone? Why does the Task Manager clear this blockage and why must I always click on Task Manager TWICE to get it to work (this is the weirdest thing about the problem).
