Computer won't turn on after Software Updates

About a month ago my computer had some Windows Updates, I installed them as per usual, it asked to restart the computer, but once it shut down, it wouldn't turn back on. I tried a few different outlets, no change (all of these outlets work). I left it unplugged overnight (8-10 hours) and when I plugged it in the following morning, it turned on and was fine until this past weekend.
Again, there were more updates, this time it was for AVG and when it went to restart, it again wouldn't turn on. I tried the same thing, and it's not coming on. The light by the power button will flash when I push the button, real quick, but nothing. The light in the back shows power going to it.  I believe my computer is in the HP All-in-One 200 family, but I'm not sure which one (and though I've registered it, it doesn't tell me on my account which one I have, or I just can't find it).
Is the motherboard done, maybe the RAM, or the HDD? I don't have the money to get a new computer at the moment so I really want to try and get a few more years out of this one (I have had it for 5 years). Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • IPhone5S won't turn on after software update

    iPhone5S is bricked after software update.  Apparently this is becoming widespread.  Hello, Apple??????  http://www.techienews.co.uk/976861/apple-ios-7-0-6-update-allegedly-bricks-iphon e-5s-ipad-air/  http://www.thebitbag.com/iphone-5s-and-ipad-air-bricked-by-apple-ios-7-0-6-updat e/70286

    Hey Stheus3,
    Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

  • IPhone won't turn on after software update

    Last night I went to update my iPhone 4S to the latest iOS 7. I went to sleep while it was updating and it was charging and when I woke up it wasn't on and it kept vibrating every few seconds when it was charging. I tried to turn it on, then I tried to restart it and held the home and sleep buttons for 20 seconds. I tried connecting it to iTunes and iTunes won't detect a device. Any help??

    I tried to restart it and held the home and sleep buttons for 20 seconds.
    Try it this way ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Blackberry Z10 won't turn on after software update. Black screen and LED light blinking

    Im using BB Z10 (stl-100-1 ) os version 10.3.1 for 9 months, recent days it hangs a lot and  it hanged later  not turning on and red led has been blinking simultanously. please help me

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please do it again but increase the step 4 wait time to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • 6700 Classic - won't turn on after software update

    HELP!!!!!!!!
    I decided to update my phone software on my phone (not through a pc/laptop) It said installing 1/3 might go off for 30 secs ........ an hour later it is still flashing a blank gray screen with a line across the top, I took battery out and left for 20 mins but nothing changed when I put battery back in ......
    Please help as this is my only form of contact as  I'm housebound

    Sorry for the delay, I don't check the forums all that reguarly. You have to send the phone back to the retailer who in turn sends it to nokia - the whole process took about 2-3 weeks if I recall correctly.
    On a better note, some progress on this has been made! I ordered a 6700 classic on Vodafone through my Vodafone Platinum business provider, but stipulated it must be running v13.1. They came back saying Nokia wouldn't authorise this on the batch of phones they had.
    So, as my girlfriend's Sony Ericsson was failing, I took a 6700 classic running v10.5. When I received it, I knew not to attempt the upgrade over the air, so just before handing the phone to her, I plugged it into my Ovi suite and ran the update checker - and v13.1 was available!
    Some progress indeed.So, it might not work for all networks, but certainly for a 6700 classic from Vodafone, it seems this can be upgraded to the latest version - OK not over the air, at least I don't think so, I am certainly not going to try that again but there is a solution for some nonetheless using Ovi and being on the right network - its a network/country lottery it would seem.
    Perhaps Nokia or someone who has recently used the phone's built-in update method can confirm or deny this method working?

    iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

    iphone 5s won't turn on after downloaded recent update

    Hey lillyluv2010!
    Here is an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • MacBook will not turn on after software update

    I updated my MacBook with the newest software update, and now when I boot it up, it stays on the white window with the Apple logo and spinning wheel. After about a minute, it shuts itself down.
    What do I do?

    Mine is doing the same thing, I only had 3 updates, and it was frozen in the middle of one, so I shut it off. Although I shouldn't have done that, my computer should still be able to turn back on. I happened to read the updates for once and one was for my HP printer, and the other two were firmware updates, I don't remember specifically what they were though.

  • System won't start up after Software Update problem

    I turned on the computer and ran Software Update. iTunes and others successfully updated, but there was a problem with the Quicktime update. The system required a restart to complete installations, so I did. The circle of lines was running around and around, but then blank screen and frozen cursor. I attempted to power down and restart, but to no avail. I restarted holding the Shift key and it loads up. I repaired priveledges and restarted. Still will not start up. Please, help me.

    You say that "it loads up" when you start with the shift key down. I assume that you mean the system boots up okay. If so, you are successfully starting up with a Safe Boot.
    According to Apple's KB article on What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?, the Safe Boot is doing the following:
    - It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
    - It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
    - It runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems).
    The main goal of the Safe Boot is to repair the disk (filesystem) and to disable a variety of 3rd party extensions and startup items in the 3 folders listed here. Since you cannot startup normally after the Safe Boot, it seems that the disk repair did not fix the problem. So, most likely, you have some item in one of the 3 folders that is causing you trouble. Sometimes a 3rd party item is not compatible with an Apple upgrade and startup problems can occur after the upgrade.
    So, a troubleshooting strategy would be to start back up in Safe Mode and then to inspect these folder for some item that looks suspicious to you. One approach is to look at 3rd party items that have been recently installed. If you find something that you suspect, drag it onto the desktop and then try to restart normally. If you are able to reboot normally, you have found the problem.
    I hope this helps.
