Desktop freezing at hp invent screen

I have an hp pavilion a645c
When i turn on the computer it loads up the hp invent screen and stays their
when i press any of the command buttons[F9-11] nothing wroks. F8 doesnt work eaither
Also, I hear my computer making strange nosies
It sounds like its starting up and then dying down just like how it would when i turn off the computer. This happens over and over again in a never ending cycle. I belive that their is a virus in my computer but i cannot get into windows to fix it.
Is their a way to fix my computer?

On the link I referenced, on the left side is this: Download UBCD
Down toward the bottom of the page is a table listing the servers that are hosting the image.
If you are more certain it is a virus, then make one of these and boot to it to find the culprit: http://antivirus.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=antivirus&cdn=compute&tm=23&f=10&su=p284.13.34...
Click on the V2 folder and then the >ISO file.
If neither of those works out, it might be time for the Recovery disk set to just start "facorty fresh"

Desktop freezes to solid blue screen. Why?

Computer will freeze with solid blue screen slightly descending to lighter blue at bottom with horizontal (very faint) lines. Please help. Not computer savvy. Can't afford professional tax hourly rate. Thank you thank you.!!

If your data isn't backed up, and you don't have another Mac, you may have to save up and splurge to save your data first with data recovery program and an external hard drive:

Before doing any more troubleshooting.
If you want to do something that has minimal risk to your data, but still can be more risky than using a data recovery tool directly, if the hard drive is marginal, see this tip on repairing directories:

If you have replaced the PRAM battery in the last 4 years, you can try resetting the PRAM:

Windows stuck on blue HP Invent screen and won't load desktop items after doing a system recovery

Hello, this is my first time posting here, as I am in desperate mode! I have a HP Pavillion Slimline s5304y desktop pc, using Windows 7, that I purchased in Feb 2010.
After getting a virus on my computer, I ordered system recovery disks from HP and did the recovery to original factory settings process (twice!), however, during the Windows setup process, it doesn't ever get past the blue HP Invent screen that says:
--Do not turn off your PC during this one-time setup process
--Your PC restarts several times during this setup process
--Messages may pop up onto your screen. Ignore these messages until you are prompted to restart or shutdown your PC
Towards the bottom of the screen it continues to say "Please wait..." with a scrolling green bar. All I see is the windows start buttom in bottom left corner but am not able to access anything and I don't ever get my desktop screen or desktop icons. I have restarted and shut down several times and as soon as I log on to windows, I just get that same blue screen.
The 2nd time I did the recovery process, I let it continue overnight (just in case I wasn't waiting long enough) and my computer never shutdown like it was supposed to when the installation was complete. Also, I watched the whole process the first time around and my computer never restarted like it said it was supposed to; it just seemed to be stuck during the rest of the windows setup process. It eventually just went into sleep mode.
I don't have anything else plugged in except the power cord, the monitor and the keyboard/mouse. I have not installed any new hardware since I purchased the computer.
I did a diagnostics test and everything passed.
I tried to get help from HP Support, but because I'm out of the warranty period, they cannot help me and want to charge me $99!!!
I don't know what else to do at this point. Can someone please help???
Thank you.

Hi,
I would try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as this may get around this issue.
Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( despite the name, this application will just write zeros to the entire drive leaving it in a similar state to a new Hard Drive ).
http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Recovery DVDs will reformat the HDD.
Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the PC down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ).
When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD, insert your first HP Recovery Disc and try the installation again.
Regards,
DP-K

HP A6500F Desktop won't boot past blue hp invent screen

My HP A6500F Pavillion Desktop with Windows Vista won't boot up past the blue hp Invent screen. If I press F10 after turning it on it will state "Entering Setup..." but will stop there. When I press Esc, it will state "Entering boot menu...", but will stop there, no matter how long you wait or how long you hold the button. If you hold the Esc button, for example, upon turning it on, I will hear a clicking for some time - but no further action. I have tried removing and replacing the CMOS battery, unplugging everything from the computer and replugging. Computer is ~ 3 years old. About to the exent of my laymen's knowledge and confidence in trying fixes. Any other thoughts out there?

Have you tried removing the memory modules and placing one module in the slot closest to the CPU and then powering up to boo into Windows?
If no joy the first time then pull the module you tested and replace it with the other memory module.
If that produced no positive results then consider clearing the CMOS.
This must be done with the power cord unplugged for your personal safety.
Follow the instruction on this motherboard specification web document. look towards the bottom for instructions and images regarding CMOS clearing. When you do this remove the CMOS battery while you are clearing the CMOS and press the poer button and hold it for a couple of seconds.
Please post your results.
Kind regards,

Desktop Freezing..

Hi all,
I am experiencing this issue on both my Mac Pro and Macbook. After the system is up and operating for an hour or two the desktop freezes up and becomes inacecssible. I see icons on the screen and I can draw a selection box, but I can't click on anything. Additionally, any files added or removed from the desktop do not appear. Everything is fine when I look at the desktop directory in a finder window.
Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. I was not able to access my desktop (spinning ball of the undead), but I could launch programs and by keeping my mouse going up through the program to the force quit menu I could access the force quit dialog and relaunch Finder. It always said "Finder not responding". I would relaunch, but it didn't fix the problem. I haave now switched to the native sreen resolution in hopes that it will do the trick. I wil check back with a yes or no.

BB Desktop freezes with 9630 in bluetooth mode

I am running BB Desktop 5.0 and Vista, with a 9630. I was able to sync with outlook using the BB Desktop and bluetooth to my phone at first, but now it has stopped working. The BB Desktop application freezes up when initially communicating with the device when the application launches. The 9630 goes into desktop communication mode, as you see the icon of the PC and the BB on its screen, but there is no activity going on (no arrows shooting back and forth). The Desktop app goes into grey screen mode, like it is frozen. It just sits there forever.
Anyone else seen this? I have tried reinstalling, re-pairing the device, everything.
Thanks.

I am going to update this thread, the same thing happens in USB mode!
So its not a bluetooth issue really. I think it has to do with the BB device communication stack. The Desktop app is waiting for a response so they both just sit there.
While connected with USB, I can use windows explorer to view the contents of the media card on the BB.
wah! being able to sync contacts and calendars is pretty important. This is a deal breaker if the Desktop app can't communicate with the device.

OS is loaded and running but screen freezes on the loading screen

My laptop is freezeing on the loading screen but the os is loaded and running. I know this because i was able to use command keys to open itunes and play music. At first i thought it was the hard drive so i replaced it and i am still having the same problems. I'm stumped, can anyone help me?
Some one please help?

"The gray boot screen with the apple and the loading ring."
"i was able to use command keys to open itunes and play music."
You could do that from the "gray boot screen?" Didn't know that was even possible!
Disconnect all devices from your computer and do the following:
Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu. If you are able to reach the desktop after doing the above, repair permissions and restart your computer afterwards.

Pavilion p6157c freezes at blue hp screen HELP

My desktop freezes at the blue hp screen on startup, any button I press that is shown on the screen (f10, esc, f9, f11) won't register or do anything. I am running windows 7 and have a pavilion p6157c desktop. This is very important to me and if anyone helps I will be greatful!!

Hello Bruddahshark,
I understand you state your computer will not bypass the blue HP screen, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
Try turning the computer on and tap the F10 key immediately, and see if you are able to access the setup menu. When doing so the F10 key is sometimes very sensitive so if it fails the first time try it at least 2 more times.
If you are successful, toggle down to one of the drives you see below. One drive will be for your hard drive and the other will be for the DVD drive. Select the drive that does not mention DVD-RW. Once you have selected on the drive, select smart support, and then Smart Shot Test. The Short Test will last about 3-5 minutes, if that test passes then select Smart Extended test, now that test will take some time.
See the screenshot below for an example of what the screen should look like.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

IPod randomly shuts off and freezes on a black screen

(I believe I have a 3rd generation.. I just bought it in July, and it has multi-tasking and wallpapers..)
My iPod Touch randomly shuts itself off.
It doesn't matter if i'm in an app, or playing music, or watching a video, or hooking it up to my computer. It just has it's fit, and shuts itself off.
But, when it shuts itself off, it becomes unresponsive. It won't turn back on for like 5 minutes. And even then, sometimes it turns on, other times it freezes on the Apple screen, or it will go to a white screen.
Every time I've made an appointment to go to the Genius Bar to have it looked at, it starts working fine. (I live about a hour and a half away from the nearest Genius Bar, so it's not really cheap for gas to get me there..). I've tried restoring it (from scratch and from a backup), but it eventually starts doing its thing. I've tried leaving all apps, movies, e-mails, and everything but music, and it still does it.
If I do drive all the way to the Genius Bar, and they can't duplicate the problem, are they just going to send me away and do nothing?
Or does anyone on here know of anything I can try??

First I would try restoring from your backup. If that does not work I would restore to factory-new condition and manually add apps and other things back on since there may be something corrupted in your backup.

Satellite Pro A300-1G0 - Freezes at startup splash screen

Running Windows 7, the laptop sometimes does not proceed further than the Toshiba screen, you can't even get into the BIOS. I have tried updating the BIOS, but with no change.
It only exhibts this behaviour 1 in 5 reboots. The only resolution is to hold down the power button to turn off, then remove the battery to perform a hard reset.
Any solution would be gratefully received.
I think it was working fine even since a Windows 7 upgrade, so I'm not sure that is relevant.
Peter

Hi buddy,
If your notebook freezes during Toshiba BIOS screen it has nothing to do with the installed software and OS. After you turn on your notebook it makes a power on self test (POST) so it seems to be a hardware malfunction that your notebook hangs there.
Have you connected any external devices to your notebook like printer, external HDD, etc. If yes, remove them and test it again.
In worst case you need help from an authorized service provider. The guys can check this and replace the faulty hardware.

Windows 8.1 desktop Freezes after boot for about 20 seconds

only the desktop freezes, it refuses to accept clicks on anything then all of the sudden it works fine.
if I opened an application (like tmp.txt ) I get as many as I clicked on during the freeze period.
the task bar works during this freeze period, just the desktop is frozen. I can' bring up the task manager during this time.
this is the only error in the event log. I've tried looking at links for this but NOTHING helps. I don't know what that LiveComm.exe product is but I can't get rid of it and I can't stop it from causing issues.
The program LiveComm.exe version 17.5.9600.20498 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Hi,
Regarding current information we can't say that it related to this exe file.
We need to use Clean boot mode and Safe mode to test the results:
Please first restart the Windows in Clean boot and see if the issue still persists after reboot:
How to perform a clean boot
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists in Clean boot mode, please test in Safe mode.
Let me know the results in Safe mode.
If we cannot identify this issue in Clean boot and safe mode, please help to collect the boot trace and let's see what cause this issue:

My old MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but suspect logic board, any ides any body

My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??

Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly .

Does anyone elses iPhone 5 just randomly shut off or freeze on a blue screen after only having it for a week??

I got a white 16G iPhone 5 last Sunday (Jan 6th 2013) and I have already been on the phone with apple once and in the store twice about this issue. The phone randomly shuts itself off or freezes on a blue screen for 5-30 minutes at a time. Apple reset my phone thinking that would fix the issue, it didnt. I went into the Sherway location while it was frozen and they told me i couldnt get an appointment until tomorrow so ill have to wait... I'm hoping that they just gave me a dud of a phone and that when i go back in tomorrow they will just give me a new phone because this is getting ridiculous. if this problem continues once they finally give me a new one than i suggest that no one else buys the iPhone 5. I had the 4 and had only one problem in a year and a half, and i've had more in one week with this model. Let me know if anyone else is experiencing this too or if my phone is just a dud.

First I would try restoring from your backup. If that does not work I would restore to factory-new condition and manually add apps and other things back on since there may be something corrupted in your backup.
