Won't Boot Hangs At Loading Screen
Feb 12, 2006booting my cpu because it hangs at the loading screen. I have read a lot of posts but none of them help because I can't get the cpu in safe mode. I have tried all the options and all kinds of boot disks.It won't let me use my keyboard to highlight any of the options where it says windows had problems loading and gives several options like safe mode or last good config. The keyboard will let me into the bios but after that it won't work. f8 won't take me to safe mode and it won't boot to the cd either. I had this problem once a few weeks back but I created a boot disk and after I booted from that for several times it started booting on it's own. I got the boot disk from a web site but it wasn't an xp boot disk.(i think it was an 98se or me disk) Well of course now either I have lost the disk or it just won't work anymore. I need to find a way to at least boot it long enough to get the data off. the file system is ntfs and I am using windows xp pro.

May 29, 2008When trying to boot my computer it freezes.I have tried to boot into safe mode with no joy and then safe mode with command prompt.The last entry with command prompt is:multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWSSystem32DriversBTHidMgr.sysNow using the little I know about computers I am guessing that it is hanging whilst loading the driver BTHidMgr, what ever that may be and at a guess I either need to delete that driver or repair / replace it.... but.... thats about as far as I can guess.

Jul 11, 2008I am sorry i cannot give you the complete specs for the pc that is in trouble. However it runs an 80gig, cd drive, is about 4 years old, 64mg graphic card, 1.25g ddr ram 133, running xp. not sure home or pro. I would think home version. This system belongs to a friend who knows less than i. He recently had troubles with his system and I ran a few cleaning programs and made some adjustments to the system for better performance.Simple things such as choose for best performance, ccleaner, defrag the system and thats about all. Though I could not defrag drive D partition. A message said it had errors and needed or recommended it be scanned upon restart. So we did.
It all went well. Finished 5 of 5 then the next part it stuck at 0% and didnt recover from it. We waited say 40 minutes and still nothing so we restarted the system. It loads but hangs at the loading screen.I cannot use the xp recovery disc as it needs a password to get access and we do not have one. The system was bought from someone long ago. So recovery is out.Safe mode hangs when it gets down to mentioning the graphic card details and no other option will fully load either.Can anything be done here to get XP to boot?In the mean time I am currently setting up xp on another hdd and am going to try and retrieve as much data as I can from the crippled system. But if I can get it working then I will not have to sacrifice a HDD and not loose all of the outlook data etc.
Boot Sequence Hangs At Logo Boot Screen With Progress Bar
Oct 26, 2007On boot sequence, PC hangs on Windows boot screen - with the good old progress bar churning along for eternity. It just stays there. It is possible to boot into safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc. but never boots up normally. 'Last Known Good..." does not help at all.
I have tried 'repairing' XP using the recovery console (deleting the boot.ini file, then BOOTCFG /REBUILD and then FIXBOOT) to no avail. Do not know where in the boot process it is getting hung up and not totally sure how to determine that.Using Windows XP Media Center Edition with SP2. Plenty of RAM and disk space.
Had this problem once in the past and it seemed to self correct after about 50 reboots.
Does this sound like a re-install of XP is required or are there any other options that might work?
Xp Hangs At Boot Screen
Aug 30, 2002I have an intermittent problem, xp hangs occassionaly at the boot screen. If I unplug the system when not in use it doesn't happen as often. WEIRD. When it does happen I have to leave the system unplugged for about 5 minutes or it won't boot. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to home XP from ME. It is a legal XP CD. I have a new amd athelon 1.2 motherboard and XP drivers for my hardware.I even reinstalled XP but the problem persists.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBoot Screen Hangs With Second Hard Drive
Aug 20, 2010I just bought a Seagate ST3400620NS SATA HDD. I want to install it as a second HDD just for storage. I currently have a ST380815AS with the OS (XP SP3) on it as the primary drive. The PC (HP DC570 SFF) boots fine with only the primary drive installed. When I add the 2nd HDD the the system recognizes that I have added a 2nd HDD. It asks me to save the settings by pressing F1. I do that. The XP boot screens displays. The blue progress bar moves once and the system reboots. I switched SATA connectors for the 2nd HDD but when I boot I get a message that I need to move the connector back to the original spot.Then I thought maybe the MOBO (Hewlett-Packard 0A64h ) only supported 1.5 gb/s. Not the case. So I am totally stumped. I checked HPs website to see if there were any updates, and there was an advisory that a different model Seagate HDD might cause a similar sounding problem but no mention of the model HDD that I own.

Feb 19, 2009After a visit to the wonderful land of pornography, my dell (about 5 years old) has decided that it doesn't want to boot past the loading screen. Just before this happened, I booted up and the screen froze on the desktop, flashing some distorted lines across the center of the screen. I have tried rebooting multiple times and running diagnostics, but nothing appeared wrong. I'm going to assume its virus related.

May 24, 2006My brother's computer froze so the only way i knew to turn it off was to uplug the power.. I did that and ever since then i cannot get the computer to boot up all the way it just gets stuck on the xp loading screen.. Ive tried starting in safe mode, normal mode, and "last know configuration that worked" mode.. When i boot from my boot disk i get into the window's console, i try and choose the repair option, when it lets me do this it asks for a "administrator password", i dont remeber using one when i installed windows. I know the "quick" fix is to do a complete reformat and install, but my brother has alot of work files that he does not want to loose. This is my brother's computer, i always make a backup disk of my files for this reason.. but he didnt so im stuck betweena rock and a hard place.

Dec 20, 2004I was playing a game last night (a legit game) and it freezes, so I restart and get the whole "Sorry for the inconvenience windows shut down to protect files on your computer" screen and it asks me how i want to boot up XP, either in the safe modes or Last known good congifuration or start windows normally, so i use last known and the windows loading screen comes up and the blue bar is passing by normally, but it goes for a very long tiem and eventually freezes and I have to restart. It also does this whenever I choose any other way up booting XP too. I've taken my computer apart, cleaned it, unplugged everything and plugged everything back in, read justed the harddrive and NOTHIGN works. It still gives me the frozen windows loading screen. Is there ANYTHING I can do to solve this problem short from hooking my hard drive up to another computer and seeing what's wrong from there?

Dec 10, 2004My computer shutdown and on boot up it hangs at the black screen showing the white bar at the bottom. I have Windows 98 and 2000 on my computer and neither will boot up from C:, CDROM, or StartUp/BootUp disks. When I try to boot up from the Windows 2000 boot up disk it sometimes will not get passed the blue screen showing 'Windows 2000 setup. Once or twice it has shown some functions in the bar at the bottom of the page. I have tried to boot up using Windows 98 start up disk but most times it hangs at C:. Last night it did open Windows 98 but would not let me reinstall 2000 or do a repair. It now is hanging in both OS. I am told it could be my memory...but how do I check? Upon start up my memory check shows all is okay. I have ran the utility disk for my hard drive and it says all is okay. Before I invest in new memory is there anything else I should check or try? My computer is older and the memory is quite expensive.

View 6 Replies View RelatedNo Boot Loader/ Can't Select OS To Boot, Hangs On Blinking Underscore?
Sep 9, 2009i have ONE hard drive with partitions. I had a really bad setup first, I had 1 partition with 3 windows installs on it, folders like WINDOWS, WINPRO, WINN, I never took the time to delete them or whatever, and I was using winpro as my main OS. When I was running the above setup, when I boot up it would ask me: Select what OS to load Windows Pro, Windows Home, Windows Home
I decieded to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, worked flawlessy, but I wanted to go back to windows xp pro 64 bit. So I made a new partition and installed windows XP pro 64 bit onto it. when I tried installing windows xp with my CD, the first part would work fine, but then when it restarted to continue the setup, it would load my MOBO logo and then after, it would just show a blinking underscore "_" on the top left corner, and nothing else.
I managed to install a fresh windows xp from my USB flash drive, but when booting up normally it still does not let me select what OS to log on to, it just shows the blinking underscore in the top left after the MOBO logo passes, I actually have to boot by USB drive to boot this fresh install of windows. I think something is wrong with my boot loader, but have no idea how to fix it.

Hangs Between The Black Logo Screen And The First Blue Screen
Feb 21, 2007when I first start the computer, windows hangs between the black windows logo screen and the first blue screen that says "windows is starting". I have to hit the reset button, it goes to the dos screen with the safe mode, etc. choices. I choose "start using last known good configuration" and I'm good to go. If I turn the computer off during the day and turn it back on, It works fine. It only hangs on the first start of the day.

When I start the computer, it asks if for the choice of Safe Mode, w/ Networking, w/Command Prompt or Normally.
I've tried them all and if I try it normally, it won't get past the XP loading screen. It's loading and then it flashes a blue screen for a second and then restarts the computer again.
I tried pressing F8 at boot and selected 'Disable automatic restart on system failure' and this is what I get
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x83306788, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I even tried using this http://forums.techguy.org/6669592-post28.html to get to chkdsk At boot, F12, chose CD/DVD, but still nothing, I even tried disabling boot from +HDD, FDD and LAN from the bios setup menu to see if it works and this is what I got, it just keeps going on and on unless I enable boot from +HDD

View 3 Replies View RelatedHang At Loading Screen - Blue Screen Error On Reinstallation
Nov 18, 2006I couldnt start up windows. It would hang at the windows loading screen and go no further. So I was told to try a repair-install. And thats where even more trouble has started. So I started to repair-install. During the Windows Install setup, it gets almost to the point of being completed, but gave me a blue screen error STOP message at around the "18 minutes left" mark. During "Registering components". It would do this every time at the same spot. So I searched a bit about how to solve the problem. One suggestion I found on the interwebs was to try it with only one stick of ram installed, I have four overall at 2gb. So I tried that, next time I boot up to the comp, it loads up the bios, and then goes to the black windows loading screen with the loading bar, then starts with a blue screen saying "Setup is being restarted" So I figure its restarting my windows installation since it never was completed, after that message, the screen goes black with a cursor, and stays that way forever. I immediately put all the ram back in, and no luck, same thing. I tested each individual ram stick, same thing, just goes black. So now, I can't even seem to re-install windows. Did my hard drive just crap out? Some hardware issue? Im already thinking about buying a new fresh hard drive, installing windows on there, and just moving all my files from the old hard drive over to the new one. Though that would be a pain, I really want to save my current drive! And all the data on it.

Aug 17, 2005This makes about the 6th time I have done the install. When it boots, it hangs for between 10 and 30 minutes at the XP splash screen. The blue bar just goes back and forth but nothing happens like forever. I had tried to replace my HDD as well with an WD SATA 320G HDD, but the bios won't detect it. I tried installing a 40G HDD that had 27G of free space on it. I had been using it as a secondary until my primary went TU last week. I kept running into the problem of it hanging on installation. It would get to the point where it was installing drivers and just stop.
Due to problems that I have been having I went out and bought a new motherboard. I am now running a 1.8G Pentium 4 on an Asis 848P motherboard with 512M DDR Ram. I removed both the 40G HDD and the SATA drive from the system. They are no longer attached. I took a 13G HDD that I had removed to put in a bigger HDD and decided to use it.I did a clean install on the 13G HDD. I formatted it during the installation. Because of the other problems, the only devices that I have connected is the video card, an ATI Raedon 7500, the HDD, keyboard and mouse.The blasted thing still hangs on booting! Because I wanted to know if it happened I activated boot logging and this is what I got.
Boot Hangs At Go Back
May 22, 2007My OS is Win2K Pro and when attempting to boot yesterday my computer hung on the Go Back app and would go no further. During several subsequent attempts I got far enough in the boot process to get an error saying my keyboard wouldn't work. Using a third keyboard I somehow got a full boot with my Windows CD and quickly ran a virus scan showing no infection and thought everything was okay, took out the CD and changed the boot sequence back.Now I'm stuck on the Go Back screen again. While in BIOS I discovered it said the year was 2002 and thought that was why Go Back hung but reset the clock and still nothing works. I can't boot to safe mode (only beeps when I tap the keyboard), now the windows CD will not boot the machine. I've tried to do a reinstall, but am told two small partitions are too small (no option for changing their size) and for some reason can't install on the primary partition, just a note saying I can't, nothing else. I can only get to Set-Up and BIOS. I've tried burning different boot disks to CD (no floppy drive)on another computer but only get Retry Boot when using them.Various times I can get far enough to get Go Back to load then try to revert, but just get a Wait notice from the app and nothing further.No sounds when booting unless I tap F5 or F8, sometimes F12 beeps every time I tap. Of course I haven't backed up my documents and WAB, etc. so I'm trying not to delete partitions and start over.

Aug 18, 2005My C: drive crashed and I used that excuse to buy a WD3200 320G SATA drive. My old MB wouldn't support the SATA so I bought a ECS 848P-A and a 512M DDR memory.I tried a new install of XP (Home) onto a 40G drive as primary which had 27G free space. It would only install to the point where the screen was saying installing devices and there was 33 min left on the install. At that point it would stop. The little bar on the lower right would freeze. I left it like this for over 30 min to see if it would clear, it never did. I figured that there might be a problem with stuff on the drive so I removed it and installed a 13G that I had laying around. I formatted it during the install so it should have been clean. It would install and ran until I installed the motherboard and video card drivers. When it went to reboot it would quit. It would go to the XP splash screen and stop. The blue bar would keep cycling but it would never proceed.

Feb 20, 2007I recently assembled my new system and did almost exactly the same installation process as I have done for my old system many times (except drivers for my new hardware). But now I experience random freezes at the blue Welcome screen.If logon process goes normally, there are three stages I have noticed:
1- right after boot screen disappears and welcome screen appears there is some HDD activity
2-hdd activity stops for 1 or 2 seconds
3-hdd activity starts again
But one time out of 10 or 20 everything freezes at the stage 2. I can move the mouse, turn NumLock on/off on my keboard, but I cannot select any user name to log on they are frozen. I tried using Windows Logo key + U (usually this brings up Utility Manager for Accessibilty) but it does not work.
So the only choice is do a hard reset.I did not find any errors in Event Viewer or any hardware conflicts. I have tried to use /bootlog option in boot.ini file but it logs only drivers and nothing about what happens at logon stage.Any ideas? Or maybe a good utility which can log everything that happens when my pc boots up and after that until Desktop appears?

Jul 12, 2009I built my own computer about six months ago, and for 99.9 percent of the time it works great. Recently more and more though, it has been hanging at the welcome screen. I would start up the computer and it would go thru the Win XP screen then go to the Welcome screen and just hang. I would restart the PC and it would boot up fine. What would be causing this to happen? No error messages any of the times, its almost like the desktop gets "lost" from time to time.
