Almost new Lenovo crashes on boot

My Lenovo, bought in February, started freezing on boot up a while back. My technician removed a load of the Thinktank update rubbish he thought was causing it, to no avail.
I then ran a disc error check, and the problem vanished.
Now, out the blue, it's back. Switch on, PC is OK for about 30 seconds, then freezes.
I can boot OK in safe / networking mode.
Any ideas what I can do?
Needless to say, I'd never buy another Lenovo.

If you can open safely in the safe mode,perhaps some of the startup programs/services might be causing the issue,what are the programs listed in your startup entry?
Cheers and regards,

New Lenovo W530 SLOW booting

New W530 Type 2436-CTO with Win 7 Pro, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD. This is my second W530
Problem when I boot is it boots very quickly to the Welcome screen and then instead of going to the Win 7 Home screen, the screen goes dark except for the cursor and stays dark with hard drive activiity for about 45 to 55 seconds before the home screen pops up. After than the computer runs as normal and very fast.
Some thing in the boot sequence must be the problem. I did all the Windows updates, MS updates and Lenovo updates. I am mainly a user so any help needs to be specific with detail directions. Hate to send it back when it all works perfectly except it takes near two minutes to boot.
Last W530 boot like lightning - Please help me

When I have had slow booting problems, I have found help via a web search for 'diagnose slow boot times Windows 7', or the like.
At the stage where you are having the long delay, there should be Event Logs listing how long each step in the boot process is taking, and whether that is a change from the previous time the computer booted.
Here is a guide I have found helpful:
http://itexpertvoice.com/home/what%E2%80%99s-taking-so-long-how-to-fight-slow-startup-times-in-windo...
^^ It walks you through looking at the Event Logs for particular types of messages, especially related to new delays in startup.
Hope you find your issue and get it fixed.

BRAND NEW LENOVO K300 5316 1BU (WON'T BOOT FROM DVD SUPERJULTI DRIVE/CD-WRITER

Would appreciate info from the Lenovo Community as to what might be the problem and a fix.
I just received my new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU. As one of the first tasks I made a Lenovo Repair Disc.
To test my disc I rebooted my computer with disc in drive. During reboot I pressed F12 to get to the proper menu.
I chose the cd/dvd drive as the first boot option. It showed that the drive was recognized stating Boot Priority but then went directly into my Windows 7 deskop.
I called Tech Support and tried everything with them with the same results.
They instructed me to do a complete System Restore to see if that corrects the problem.
I have not done this yet since I will do a backup of my present setup, not to loose all my hard work and time setting up all my programs and settings.
Before I do a complete system restore I would appreciate any comments or suggestions from the community regarding this situation.
Do you also believe that doing a full system restore will help or should I send this computer back?
I do find it hard to believe that a computer less than a week old would have this problem with the DVD Supermulti Drive /CD writer.
If I still have no success after a full restore or a resolve from the Lenovo IdeaCentre Community then I will return this computer back to TigerDirect.
To conclude I would like to mention the following regarding this brand new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU top of the line desktop computer.
One of the reasons I purchased this particular desktop was because of the Lenovo Windows 7 ENHANCED operating system that Lenovo has been advertising so much.
To my surprise and disappointment, this BRAND NEW Lenovo Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit does not have the Enhance version, it is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit only.
Apparently, Lenovo is making some with Enhanced and some without.
Finally, another reason I purchased the 1BU version is because it has a TV Tuner.
To my surprise again, the TV Tuner card in this model does not have an FM Tuner, which almost all TV Tuner Cards have. So, as a result, no FM Radio with Windows 7 Media Center.
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, but thought it was important to share with the community.
Comments and Help will be most appreciated.

What brand DVD drive did you install? Some third-party drives won't boot by holding down the C key at startup, because they lack the Apple/OEM drive's ROM programming. I recently installed a Memorex (manufactured by LG) DVD burner in a B&W G3, which is recognized by Toast and (with PatchBurn) the iApps. The compatibility problem occurs when selecting a CD/DVD as the startup disk using the Startup Disk Preferences/control panel or by holding down the C key during the restart. In either case, the drive ejects the disk during the POST, so that I have to immediately close the tray and hold down the C key again, to persuade it to boot from the disk. Is this similar to what you're experiencing?

New Lenovo E540 stuck on Boot Menu?

My new Lenovo arrived today and I can't even start it.
I press the power button and it goes straight to Boot Menu and App Menu.
I don't want to mess around with the settings because I don't know much about computers.
How do I get to Windows?
Please help!!

Hi Ktkt2289,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing the issue with not Booting to Windows on your ThinkPad E540.
Please check if the system is shipped with pre-loaded Windows OS.
Keep tapping F2 key after switching ON the system this will take you to BIOS option and there go to Boot option and check if you are able to see HDD there.
Check and confirm if there is any Windows COA sticker at the bottom of the laptop.
Please provide the system MTM (Machine Type Model) number which will be at the back of the system written on the white sticker.
Hope to hear back soon!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

My New Lenovo G580 - Blue Screen Error

Hi,
I have bought a new lenovo G580 (Intel B950/2GB/500GB) with DOS (on Friday - 21 Spetember, 2012).
I have installed another 2GB RAM in the extra slot. So, I have a total of 2+2 GB RAM now.
I installed Windows7 in it. It has worked fine for 1 day, but when I installed the G580 bluetooth, wifi drivers, it started crashing with bluescreen creating a dump file. Now I am even unable to start the system. I have formatted the system twice by could not trace it out. I have seen other forums and found out that it is due to some dropbox issues etc., But I have not installed even 1 software. As soon as I installed windows7, I started with the drivers (Drivers DVD came along with my laptop)
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudheer K
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Sudheer,
If you are able to open windows go to
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools\Advanced Tools and select the last option to "generate system health report" .If something is wrong with the system or a service windows will flag it for you. If you are not able to open windows and try opening it in the safe mode(press F8 during startup) check for the same.
Also try opening windows in a clean state
In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click Selective Startup on the General tab.
Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
Note The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.
Click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
When you are prompted, click Restart.
If this does not cause a BSOD then I would suspect there is a driver conflict/compatiablity in your system.Can you provide the exact error in the BSOD which you see?
Hope this helps
Cheers and regards,

New Lenovo G570 Teething Issues

Dear Lenovo-connected moderators, outriders and the like (Please note that in error I originally posted this to the other thread):
I just bought in Europe a new Lenovo G570. I have the following issues:
Since I always resize the C: partition I have removed the possibility of using one-key restore. It seems bizarre that Lenovo would force keeping the C: partition at its initial size. Surely it would be possible to write the one-key software to work around repartitioning the HDD. I did the resize of the C: partition immediately after purchase as part of my personal data and program installation and found out later about the requirement not to resize. Moreover, as far as I can recall there was no D: partition already installed, which I might have been able to live with (I prefer multiple data partitions). Any way to fix this problem? For I restored the C: partition to its original size but that didn't help; I couldn't get the recovery DVD's made; the one-key button was non-functional. What do I have to do to get the recovery features back? For I see that for very similar products a fresh install of Win 7 causes all kinds of problems, and in the absence of recovery DVD's that's really the only other option. I should point out that at the moment the computer is working; I'm just trying to do my preventative medicine for the day the computer crashes.
Lenovo's model numbering is very confusing, as is the Lenovo habit of updating system specs on the fly. My model name is 20079; my model number is CB01031166. If I download the current specs for the model from the Lenovo site (just did) they don't agree with what I have. Major differences are that my computer shipped with an Intel i5-2410M processor, a 640 GB HDD and with a separate ATI Graphics Card (Radeon Premium). Thanks, but this leads to issues about driver updates when I search for downloads for my computer on the Lenovo site. In particular, it's not clear to me whether I should be reflashing BIOS with the latest BIOS. On the thread about serious issues with the Idea Pad Z570, I saw recommended the reflashing of the BIOS. You might ask, well why would I go there? Because the Lenovo site does not support searching on models that are not branded Think Pad or Idea Pad. Mine's branded Essentials and it's just not recognized even in the automated search using the Internet Explorer. So searching for Lenovo G570, that's what a Google search turned up and the specs of the Z570 are extremely similar to the G570 I have. So if someone could tell me how to find the driver updates for my model, I'd be very grateful.
I see in the Z570 thread that if the CD is not the first boot priority then the WiFi doesn't work. Does this also apply to my model?
When I boot with an external Sata HDD attached (to see if BIOS will recognize it for boot purposes), the boot procedure freezes until I unplug the Sata HDD. Of course the external HDD is plugged into the USB port. This seems to be a problem with the BIOS, although admittedly I can't recall if the BIOS flash screen shows and it freezes after, or it freezes before it reaches the BIOS flash screen.
I also see that the fan that's always running is actually a serious warranty issue. I hadn't realized that it wasn't some quirk of my software. So here we are with a serious warranty issue. Update: 23/2/12. This does not seem to be a real problem on my machine at the moment. While the fan works more than I would have expected, it will shut down eventually once the computer is not doing anything. Possibly the actual software I'm using on the machine is causing heavy fan use. This is something of a relief.
According to the specs the computer ships with a USB/eSata port. And indeed there is a port in the right place that is different from the other USB ports. The port of course works with USB. However, its shape is not the usual eSatap shape. In particular it doesn't have the cutouts left and right for the usual eSatap jack. Instead it has a cutout at the top. But for the life of me and my dealer, there is nowhere on the Net where we can find an image of the Lenovo USB/eSata port and certainly nowhere where I can buy a jack/adaptor/external SATA disk that fits the Lenovo USB/eSata port.
Here's an image of my USB/eSata port. It's the middle of the three ports. Of course, on the left is something for TV that is irrelevant, and to the right is a normal USB port. How do I find anything to work with it at eSata speeds?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for replying ExJamJus.
I will ask the local reseller, but I suspect they don't know more than anyone else. The problem is that the specs are very fluid on these units--after all, I have a ATI Radeon graphics card whereas the specs typically say that its an integrated (on-the-motherboard) Intel graphics card. Some places, as other users have noted, they do spec it as having an eSata/USB port, but there's just no plug available with that shape with any specification. My technician who sold me the computer thought that the only possibility was that the plug would be introduced later. He'd never seen one and he takes computers apart and fixes them.
As for the drivers, I installed all the drivers. Nothing terrible happened except as follows:
One of the ATI Radeon updates, for Hydravision I believe, comes to an end where kdbsync.exe can't start at boot time because Open.dll is missing. You can follow up on the Internet. The fix is to download Open.dll and put it in the proper folder in Program files. It works now--or at least I don't get an error message at boot time.
This is import for Lenovo: Lenovo energy management upgrade gave me the option to install on top of the old Lenovo energy management but it would require a reboot. So I did it. But what happened was that Lenovo energy management wouldn't start at boot time. I tried repair, no deal. So I had to completely uninstall Lenovo energy management and then do a fresh install. It works now. This is going to irritate people. Bad for business.
It's unclear in some of these cases just what driver is installed on the computer and it's not clear whether the driver installer programs are always coded to check whether the driver being installed is not older than the installed driver. So it makes it a little chancy to download and install a driver that was issued not long before the manufacture date of the product.

MBP 2010 8gb ram Crashing on boot

I have tried to upgrade my 2010 13" MBP with the 8gb 1333 DDR3 corsair. I did this once already with my 2009 15" MBP and worked just fine without any problems. I have read many success stories for upgrading a 2010 13" with the exact same ram and it's begining to frustrate me because i can't figure out if it's hardware or software with the computer. I did try the new ram in 15" just to make sure the ram wasn't bad and it booted just fine. Back to the 13" it will either simply crash on boot and have a error messae wich i can try to add a link to later but i did get this crash report (see below) after i put in the old 2gb sticks running at 1033. But it will either simply crash or i will get the grey apple logo and the spinner will start spinning for about 10 seconds than freeze. I let it sit for about 10-20 minutes multiple times to see if it just needed to think but it didn't progress pass that. i've also tried just using one of the single sticks instead of having both in and that didn't help either. tried reseting pram and enter safe mode but both attempts ended in it crashing the same way. I also tried using a different harddrive from another 13 macbook that had Snow lion on it thinking that something rooted on the 13" MBP operating system was causing it not to boot properly with the ram, that also didn't work. I am up for any suggestions. Thank you - D

I know that it says that it likes 1033 but..... when i had read around to upgrad my 15" people said it would work and would just clock the ram speed down from 1333 to 1033. I installed it and to a shocking suprise it didn't even clock it down to 1033. My frustration is that this 13" MBP is a year newer and isn't even wanting to boot with the ram. I would assume, and be glad with it booting and just clocking the RAM down. i wouldn't see why that wouldn't be a problem. Thank you though for youru suggestion. Thanks - DJ

Securing old 10.4 xserve with hot spare - new xserve does not boot with 10.

dear you,
I am in the murky situation of having to secure a single, non redundant productive scenario which is running on one xserve (model identifier 1,1; dual core 3GHz; boot-rom XS11.0080.B00). due to several reasons the server needs to be cloned, so that a separate xserve with a daily cloned boot-device can take over if things go south with the productive one.
unfortunately the newly bought xserve quadcore single 2.26GHz refuses to boot from the image taken from the production machine. tried to downgrade firmware, did not help. new machine crashes during startup (empty grey screen).
anybody knows any help? moving the production machine to 10.5 or newer is NO option.
an option could be two elder xserves I have here additionally. how do I find out which xserve model will boot with an image from the production server?
thank you all for any idea in advance,
thaijay

Sorry, failed to let you know the productive server is running 10.4.11. please let me know which other details I can post/will help us with this issue

This is never going to work via cloning.
The server you're cloning has to be one of the original Intel-based XServes. Each successive revision adds requirements to the OS to the point where they have a minimum OS version. In the case of the latest generation servers, they won't run on anything earlier than 10.5.6 (IIRC). To put it simply - 10.4 doesn't know how to drive the latest generation hardware.
In any case, cloning is rarely a good idea for servers anyway. You would do better to look at the services you're running and look at backup/failover plans for them rather than trying to clone the entire server. Many services such as Open Directory, DNS, MySQL and more have built-in replication systems that are designed to replicate their data across many machines. Other client-facing services such as AFP, web, FTP, etc. can be set to failover (where the second machine takes over the service when the primary machine fails).
Such replication/failover techniques are far more reliable than a daily clone, and they're also faster. Replicated data could be maintained up to the minute, compared to a day old data if you need to boot up the clone.
If you really, really want to go the clone route, then reverse the roles - setup the new machine as the primary server with all the services and clone this machine to create your failover system. 10.5.6 will run the old/original XServe, it's just a matter of updating your services to the newer version.

Aspire 6920 crashes after booting correctly - screeen zig zags and freezes - any ideas to help plse?

My aspire 6920 crashes after booting correctly - screen zig zags and freezes - any ideas to help plse? This does not happen in safemode which I am working in now - I have seen a list of dowloadable drivers on the acer site but not at all sure if I should download any. If laptop is really on its way out I will have to let it go - but I would appreciate any advice to extent its life, Thanks

Many thanks - relieved that it can be done but I am very unconfident that I can do this - is the display driver the display adapter in Vista? Not at all sure how to install new driver from Acer site - Could I use 'Drivers for free' download - I tried to set up an account with them after seeing their free download on CINET but not able to from 'safe mode' and laptop crashes when I try to do anything ( after about a minute ) in ordinary mode. Any further advice welcome, thanks

New Lenovo B560 without any OS (software) - how to install Windows XP Pro?

I just bought a new Lenovo B560 and it has no any software ... When I tried to install Window XP Pro, my new computer did not recognize the CD drive and I tried to go to the BIOS configuration and change the SATA Controller working mode to be compatible and that the boot device menu to be a CD ... But nothing happened ... Does anyone have any idea? What should I do to start with this XP OS installation?

when you press f12, you should be able to see the devices name. also, post the names.
to install windows xp from cd, you need to set dvd device as first device.

Crash on boot

I'm trying to install ArchLinux but unfortunately the installer crashes on boot.
Based on experience with another distro, I'm pretty sure this is related to udev in that I know for a fact that my computer has an issue with 175-3, which is the version that the ArchLinux installer is using.
Is a previous version of the installer available or is it possible to customize the installer to use a previous udev version during boot (I'm looking for an installer using udev 171-3)
Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback.
The case is... the system I'm running now, is using udev 171-3. The moment I upgrade udev (to 175-3), the system no longer fully boots (I've spend quite some time a while ago isolating which packages in the upgrade process that caused this behavior).
The kernel loading either just stops, stops with a lot of text on the screen or stops and reboots.
Yesterday, due to a stupid mistake, I upgraded udev and bang... the system refused to boot. That's why I started to look for an alternative. Unfortunately, the newer installation ISO's for the distro I'm running crashes during boot. As does the ArchLinux one.
So I guess I'm stuck at what I have (which is not really that bad, because it's using the same package update scheme as ArchLinux and therefore never really gets outdated)
uname -a reports: Linux jada 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The CPU is a E8600 overclocked at 4GHz.
The system is installed on a SSD, with home and swap located on a software RAID.
So back to my question that remain unanswered:
Is a previous version of the installer ISO available or is it possible to customize the installer to use a previous systemd/udev version during boot?
Thanks.

Connections dropped, DNS and server timeouts from new Lenovo with 802.11n

New Airport Extreme, works great with Windows XP machine ethernetted into it, and also with a MacBook with wireless-N.
But my brand new Lenovo T60P with wireless-N is flakey with the Airport. It connects fine with a 100% signal, using the WPA2-PSK / AES setting on the Lenovo (WPA2 Personal security in 802.11n b/g compatibility mode on the Airport). Most of the time it works quite well.
But very frequently (every five minutes?) one of two things will happen: with the signal still registering fine in the taskbar (and in the laptop's wireless "status" utility), it will become unable to locate any website, including google.com, etc., and refreshes of currently-displayed websites yield server timeouts. The browser (firefox) gives a DNS timeout message. The second thing is just your basic dropped wireless connection. It will reconnect by itself after a while.
Any advice is hugely appreciated. It ***** to "upgrade" to headaches! (Ha! the forum software doesn't like a synonym for "vaccuums". Apologies to the nuns at Apple for my potty mouth.)

What you experienced is not a surprise as 802.11n is not a standard yet and each manufacturer has developed it own "pre-n" version. Right now Apple (base station) will work with Apple (notebooks), Dlink (routers) will work with Dlink (PCMCIA cards), etc.
Lenovo is no different. You can expect 80-90% compatibility, but not 100%. To expect cross-vendor 100% compatibility, you will likely have to wait until 802.11n is "approved" and then the firmware is updated on all devices.

How do I transfer my boot disc data to a new disc and have the new disc become the boot disc?

My original 500 Gb boot drive is full (~800 Mb available). I purchased a 1 Tb drive and installed it (no problems). Now I want to transfer everything on my original boot disc to the new drive and have the new drive become the boot disc. I would then wipe the original disc and use it for data backup.
Can I simply copy all the contents of the original disc to the new disc (this seems too easy...)? I am in that process, now, but am feeling insecure about it. I do have Time Capsule. However, when I went into it to restore to the new disc it wouldn't perform the task - maybe I am overlooking something...
Suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
Jim

No, the system won't 'copy' but you can clone it.

You could also copy or clone /Users to the new drive and leave the system where it is and free up most of the file space being used. OS X only needs 100GB. That way all the data is on the new drive.
And I think you want to add CCC along with TimeMachine to your backup strategy.

i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
thanks
john

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.
