  • How do i get past black screen on startup (windows xp 32bit)

    Hello, i am using an HP Pavillion a6119h OS windows xp 32bit. When i turn on my computer it will reach the blue startup screen, but after that screen is gone it goes blank and stays blank. I've tried F11 to do system recovery but it won't go to system recovery. I've  tried F8, and i've tried to boot from disc, but it won't do anything. Please help me.

    dsl1989,
    Did you follow the steps exactly listed here that pertain to using Recovery discs?
    1) Turn on the computer, if it is not already on, and insert the first recovery disc labeled #1.After the first disc is in the drive and the drive is closed, turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
    2) With the computer off, disconnect all connected devices and cables such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax. Remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord .
    3) Turn on the computer. The computer opens the Recovery Manager program.

  • Satellite A500-19x - Suddenly blue screen appears in Windows 7

    I have satellite a500-19x,
    There are one problem every time and every days when i working.
    Suddenly the windows stopped for several moments then blue screen and restart windows .

    hi,
    if you want to update your Bios, go to the Toshiba driver page and choose the appropriate Bios version for you model. Download it and run. Don't forget to close all the running programs, disable Antivirus, Firewall before running it. Then, you will be asked to restart the computer. Pray that Bios process would occur properly otherwise you will have blank screen on startup. In this case, you will have to contact TASP (Toshiba authorized service provider).
    To be honestly, I don't recommend you to flash the Bios, in your case it doesn't help your in audio crackling and BSOD. I updated my BIos but it didn't fix the problem. I think, it's graphic driver issue.You can go to the nvidia.com and download a new graphic card driver released recently. Install it and check. I also had audio crackling and the system freezing that gone after updating that driver. Note, that driver isn't pretested by Toshiba (not modified for overheating protection, anyway the users say this in the forum) but install it at my own risk and still have no problems.

  • How to load bios screen at startup?

    I'm trying to access the bios screen at startup. This computer has the Mac side and a Windows PC side. I want to open the bios screen in the Windows PC side (if this makes a difference) so that I can change the booting options. Can someone please help!?

    iMacs and other computers from Apple do NOT contain a BIOS like Windows machines.  They use EFI in place of the BIOS and it is not user accessible.  To select which OS you boot into you need to hold down the "Command" and "R" keys while starting up and this will then load the OS selection screen.
    Hope this helps

  • Automatically show boot select screen at startup

    Is there a way to force OSX to start with the boot selection screen at startup?  I'd like to be able to power on my system and have it show me the boot select screen (i.e. Windows/OSX) so that I can choose which OS I wish to boot into.  I currently have to hold down the Option key at startup in order to bring this screen up or do the same after a restart to change OSes.  Is it possible to do?  Would save having to babysit the Windows OS whenever it decides to update the OS with a restart and would allow me to quickly switch OSes merely by doing a restart from either OS.
    My setup is two physical hard drives, one for OSX (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and one for Windows (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit).

    rEFIt will basically do the same as holding the option key,I believe it's defaulted(?) to give the boot screen when you cold start showing any available boot drives, but it won't help with Windows auto restart after updating. There may be an option to do so as there's a lot more to rEFIt then I use so you may be able to have it show up at restarts also.
    Sorry I can't help more....

  • Dark screen on startup( screen is lit but nothing is displayed)

    I was working on a paper on my computer( a year and half old) when it abruptly shutdown without any error screen(BSOD). I turned it on after and the screen was lit with all lights on and blinking( wifi, hdd, cd). The wifi light was on but it wasn't white- indicative it hadn't boot into an OS yet( I am running dual OS- Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8-primary). I was lucky for the screen to turn on to normal as I kept turning the power on and off repeatedly. I decided to boot into Ubuntu thinking the problem was from a driver issue on Windows. It was working normally about an hour and then I noticed a bizzare discoloration of the screen, a rapid blinking of the screen and finally the screen freezing entirely- I could move the mouse after this. At this point, (I was suspecting a graphics card defect not driver), so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on. The screen persistently stayed lit(Hp logo on the back was lit too) but with no visual display. I then connected the laptop to a secondary monitor using both HDMI and a VGA cable. The TV displayed no visuals from the computer in both instances. Lastly, the screen randomly turned on in my process of repeatedly powering off and powering on, but it appeared completely disclored and distorted. It was always in very low brightness. I continued to boot into windows 8 but just before the login screen I got a blue screen of death. The screen hasn't displayed visuals since( always stays lit at startup). I've never dropped this laptop before so I hope you guys could be of help because my warrantly recently expired.

    Hi @Yussif_Hamis ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP ENVY 17t-3000 CTO Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. This could be a graphic drivers issues as you can not see it on a Monitor. 
    You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Black screen on startup early 2008 macbook pro

    I am very disappointed with Apple right now. My early-2008 15 inch macbook pro shows a blank/black screen on startup. The hd runs fine and I can dim and undim the backlight on the screen but it stays black/blank.
    I talked to an Apple rep and she told me that it was probably my graphics card (which I asked her specifically about when I researched and found many other people like myself with the same issue and then the lawsuit that came as a result). Of course, Apple no longer replaces the graphics card (like a true business person would) as of December 2012 even though they know the cards in the macbooks pros are defective. The Apple rep told me that I would have to take it in to a Apple tech to get it "officially" diagnosed as the graphics card being bad (which would cost me @$150 just for it to be looked at!) and then I would probably still have to pay for the repair!
    Of course this happened in the middle of the week while I was in the middle of working on a sermon and other presentation projects. So I had to do my best to try to work from scratch without access to the info on my hd because the graphics card is defective.
    Apple, you know the card is defective so please just replace the card! I'm not asking for any perks or upgrades! Just to be able to use my Macbook Pro that, up until now, I have been bragging about and telling everyone how happy I was to switch over from windows!
    HELP!! HELP!! HELP!! HELP!!

    If you experience distorted video or no video . . . take your affected product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store to determine which service and support options are available. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    No, it has not cost anything in the past.
    Note: as of Dec 7th 2012, it is unlikely products qualify for this extended repair coverage.
    That does not mean it's an automatic "no."

  • What does OS10.5 use to screen share with Windows and Linux ?

    i have found screen sharing Mac to Mac is EASY
    but lets say i want to see the screen on my Windows XP computer
    OR my Linux Ubuntu or CentOS desktop Computers
    what do you reccomend and is there anything else i need to know
    thanks in advance

    First, I trust you have the firewalls open for the needed port(s), e.g. 5900, 5901, etc.
    Then, from what I've played with, the Leopard Screen Sharing app only connects to VNC servers that are configured for VNC Authentication (or no authentication) and that are using only Protocol 3.3.
    Depending upon the version and implementation of the VNC Server, you might have to pass startup commands like this:
    vncserver --SecurityTypes=VncAuth --Protocol3.3
    (and of course, have a VncAuth password set, e.g. with vncpasswd.)
    I'm not sure how, or if, these settings can be configured in Vino (the 'Remote Desktop' option in Gnome,) but if starting vncserver from an entry in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers, it might be like this:
    VNCSERVERS="1:username"
    VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1420x790 -depth 24 --SecurityTypes=VncAuth --Protocol3.3"
    (and again, you'd need a vncpasswd set for the username starting the VNC server.)
    Now, only Vino does the automatic Bonjour RFB advertisement, which makes the VNC server show up in Finder (without which, you'll need to manually start Screen Sharing.)
    However, you can create the Bonjour advertisement in Linux by creating a file called /etc/avahi/service/rfb.service
    and filling it with the following text:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
    <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
    <service-group>
    <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h VNC Server</name>
    <service>
    <type>rfb.tcp</type>
    <port>5901</port>
    </service>
    </service-group>
    and then, doing a:
    sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart
    In the Windows VNC Server (at least the one by RealVNC), there is an advanced button (or a Legacy tab) where you can find the option to set "Protocol 3.3" to true. And, on the security tab, make sure you have it set to "VNC Password Authentication" (configured with a password set) and NOT to "NT Logon Authentication". Unfortunately, I don't know how to set a Windows machine to make the necessary RFB service Bonjour advertisement to get it to show up in Finder. However, if you got a Bonjour/Rendezvous Proxy (e.g. http://ileech.sourceforge.net/index.php?content=RendezvousProxy-Download , for the Mac, I like the Java version, the native one is PPC.) and ran it on your Mac (or the Windows machine), you could simulate the adverstisment -- just create an proxy entry for a rfb.tcp service, pointing to port 5900 on the IP address of your Windows box.
    Finally, even once you connect to a 3rd party VNC server with the Screen Sharing app, every so often you'll get a 'no encryption' warning -- of course, because Apple doesn't talk RealVNC's encryption and vice-versa so it connects without encryption.

  • Grey screen on startup resolution.

    Hi All
    I have been getting the grey (although I call it blue) screen on startup over the past year. I have an intel imac with the latest version of snow leopard on it. I've tried everything suggested in the forums, including rebuilding my machine from scratch (not a trivial task for production music software / hardware).
    One thing I can't understand is why my machine has this issue with a clean install, and no periphirals attached. My machine has been in the Apple shop and has been verified as ok.
    I have contacted the Australian Consumers Comission and think that this comes under the expectation of durability, which can apply even if the manufacturers warranty has expired.
    I've invested a lot of time and money into Apple hardware and software and would have expected a resolution to this problem by now. Having to manually power off my machine 3 to 4 times in a row to get it to boot propery is obviously going to impact on the lifetime of my harddrives.
    I'd like as much feedback and personal experience that people have had with this issue before continuing any further.

    I boot my mac with verbose settings on, I get the normal beep, then I get all the normal output (same output as when it boots ok), then a blue / grey screen. It hangs for around 15 mins. After that it continues to boot until it's logged in, but then there is no interaction with the mouse or keyboard. I can see the mouse pointer moving around, but can't click on anything. If I have the time I will log in from another machine and perform a normal shutdown, otherwise it's a hard reset.
    I've tried resetting the nvram, repairing permissions, checking the hard drive, rebuilding the machine, restoring from time machine, etc. but I always end up back at square one looking for a permanent solution. All my drivers are the latest.
    One interesting thing to note, when I had Windows 7 installed as the default startup OS with bootcamp I never experienced this problem. To me that kind of verifies that it's not a hardware problem.
    My machine specs are...
          Model Name: iMac
          Model Identifier: iMac10,1
          Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
          Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
          Number Of Processors: 1

          Memory: 8 GB

  • Blue Screen Error for Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit

    I have a Sony Vaio E Series with WINDOWS 7 64bit home basic preinstalled. It worked perfectly fine for 2 yrs until last month, I needed to replace the hard drive due to bad sectors. Now, after a month of replacing my hard drive fresh from
    Sony Center, I decided to do a dual boot (install another OS - Windows 8.1 pro) on a separate partition. Everything is averagely fine. But 2 nights ago, I encounter a blue screen error for WIN 7 (my pre installed one). It happened the second time, so I started
    it in safe mode and did a system restore. I don't know if it will prevent future occurence of blue screen, but to make sure, I reinstall my factory default drivers using Vaio CARE... Pls help.
    PS: I have not encountered BLUE SCREEN error in Windows 8.1 yet. Is it OS specific? Here's the error the second time, it happened on my Windows 7:

    Hi Garibaldi11,
    If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques.
    •Make sure you have enough disk space.
    •If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    •Try changing video adapters.
    •Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
    •Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

  • How to Screen Print from Windows 7 in Bootcamp Without "Fn" Key ?

    Dear Friends,
    For GIS software, I have Windows 7 on my Imac 7, which uses Mac OS X 10.6.8. All of the information which I have found on the Internet about doing a screen print for Windows 7 in Bootcamp on this operating system state that 1. pressing Fn + F11 prints the screen and 2. Option+Fn+F11 prints the active window. Unfortunately, the two Mac keyboards, which I have, do not have a "Fn" key.
    Is there anyway to do a screen print without a "fn" key on a person's keyboard?  If so, how does a person do it?
    Any answers that can be provided for the above questions will be greatly appreciated.

    You should ask Windows questions in the Windows forums. But here is an answer: In Windows using these keystrokes, Start > All Programs > Snipping tool.

  • Hi Group: I think my "Macintosh H.D." disappeared off my desk top when I cloned the drive in setting up ext drive. The space at top rt corner went blank, the drive shows in disk utility, startup window, in the finder it shows up as "my Mac Pro'Help"

    Hi Group:
    In trying to set up an ext Drive for different purpose, I cloned my Macintosh H.D. drive and saved on another drive. Then I cloned the data on the Ext, used my orig. DVD to install sy on it, 4 attempts before it would accept the install. Did a reboot to confirm install no luck, and noticed that the space at top rt of D/T blank, the 2nd,3rd,& 4th bay Drives appeared below a blank space. My Mac H.D. appears in startup window & D/U but in finder Pref it is listed as " my name Mac Pro". The desk top has stayed the same, I can use startup to S/U  in all drives with a Sy, including Macintosh H. D. altho no icon or other clue that I am booted in it.
    During all my attempts with cloning and saving etc I think I made it invisible. I am not comfortable to try Terminal to find out. I will be totally thankful for all suggestions.
    I am using a Mac Pro (2008) with OS 10.6.8
    The external drive is on Firewire
    I used Disk Utility to set up drive
    I used  CCC to clone
    Thanks Funoptics

    go to finder preferences then side bar. make sure hard disk is ticked.

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.
