Hi Aslagot, sorry to hear that you are having issues with your computer not booting up for you. I would like very much to assist you with this issue. Could you please tell me what version of Windows your are using? Is it Windows xp, Vista ,7 or 8 (8.1)? Once I have the information, I will then be able to narrow down the troubleshooting documents that we need.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

You can get there from here (booting normally); it just may take you a few steps to do it.
If the disk is almost full and the system won't boot then sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Empty the trash after it boots.
Then for hints on how to free disk/SSD storage see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0
If the Safe Mode boot does not do the trick then you can install OS X on an external hard disk, boot from that, and then delete files. You can also reach the disk via Target Mode. A third option is to take it to an Apple store where they can do a network boot and help you remove some files.

ENVY 17-j005tx BIOS CORRUPTION - URGENT

Hello,
I have HP ENVY 17-j005tx and it showed HP updates and I let it install automatically. It promted me to reboot my notebook for the bios upgrade. The notebook was on AC power and it rebooted and I confirmed to install the bios when it rebooted to UEFI bios update page. After all the blocks were written it rebooted it self and gave me a blank screen. Then suddenly it turned it self off. I waited but nothing happend. So I decided to power it on. And nothing appears on screen ( the screen is not lighting up at all) and the WiFi led is on (orange). I realized the Caps Lock led blinks twices when it boots up. I've read on HP website and it defines as a BIOS corruption. I also read in one of the HP help pages that by holding down Win Key + B while turning on the laptop it should bring up the BIOS recovery page, but it doesnt work.
It would be great if anyone can help me out with this issue. I do have warranty + insurance but I'm sure there's a way to fix this issue before going to the store for a replacement. Also, if anyone could please send me a HP_TOOLS partition from their Envy 17-j005tx (to obtain the bios files such as 0xxxx.fd , 0xxxx.BIN , 0xxxx.BIN.DEC and 0xxxx.SIG). This will help me to include these files in my HP recovery USB drive. (I've setup a UEFI HP Enviornment [HP_TOOLS] on a USB drive from another HP laptop that I own - I need the mentioned files in order to flash the bios)
This question was solved.

Download the Diagnostics softpaq on another PC. Connect a USB flashdrive to the same PC. thatyou are using and double click the softpaq. Choose to install the PC_Tools to the USB flashdrive. You can also download the earlierer versions of the BIOS from the drivers download web support document and extract the softpaq to use as a source for the BIOS files that you requested.

BIOS update, then will not boot from any drive

This old laptop, 3000 C200 8922 was acting very clunky when on wireless.
Downloaded Bios Version 63ET62WW and flashed it into the bios.
Now, even though I can get to the bios screen, and it shows the hard drive, DVD/CD drive, it will NOT boot from either.
It will also "see" a usb installed, but will not boot from it.
I have removed all power and cleared the CMOS several times and I still have nothing. Tried two different hdd's which have been in the machine and same results.
HELP!! I should have never messed with it......

hi k4pew,
One rule after a BIOS update is to Load optimize deafults after updating.
Try that go inside BIOS Hit F9 to load defaults then F10 to Save and Exit.
If not
Try turning on the computer and start hitting F1 to load the Recovery Menu and see if that will push then Try Reseting the PC.
If still the same Im afraid that the BIOS needs to be reflashed.
Im not aware of any flash tool or a your Previous BIOS Version Firmware available for download.
You can try calling Lenovo Technical Support for any options available for repair.
Im sorry to hear what happened
Regards

BIOS Update causes Blue Screen of Death - PLEASE HELP

PLEASE HELP!!
After recently reformatting a Lenovo 3000 N200 (XP SP3), I downloaded the Lenovo Care (or whatever it's called), which downloaded a whole lot of updates, drivers....
The last thing that was downloaded was a BIOS Update. Before flashing and reprogramming the BIOS, the program created a backup of the old BIOS.
Since the BIOS Update, I can no longer turn on the laptop without the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). When I try to turn it on, it shows the Lenovo startup screen, then goes to the "previous attempt was interrupted" menu (the menu where you can choose 'Safe Mode'...), and no matter which option I choose, it starts to show the XP startup screen (with the progress bar), for 1/2 a second, then displays the BSOD for 1/2 a second (too fast too even read what it says or even get the error code).
What can I do to remedy the situation? Can I somehow access the backup of the old BIOS to restore it? Or is there something else I can do?
BTW, When I click F1 on the Lenovo startup screen (to get into the BIOS settings) it shows the BIOS version to be "68ET35WW (V3.03) - which is apparently the latest version for that laptop

If you have restored the device as new and tested it without using your backup and it is still malfunctioning, then you need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, depending on your location, and have the hardware checked.

Update and blank screen problem

Hi I recently was having the problem were my 8800 would get a blank screen and the red led would blink and the phone would not turn on. I pulled the battery and let it sit and it started to work again. After experiencing this I decided to connect my phone and back it up and try to update the software. I downloaded the bbdm and started to update my phone. I get to the point in the update " loading system software" Gets about half way though and stops completely. I let the phone sit for 2 hours and hasnt made any progress. I then disconnected it and re connected it and tried the update again. Same problem doesnt make it past loading system software. Im really at a lost. any ideas??? thanks

I recently had the same issue when I upgraded to the 4.5 OS. Blackberry had me pull the battery and run the loader.exe program. It solved my problem. You have to keep the battery out until it asks to initialize.
I hope this helps

The icon, I believe is for the voicemail APP, Visual Voicemail, that carries a subscription charge - it is not the same as your *86 standard voicemail.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=55911 shows the icon (is that what you are seeing?) and http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=56168 gives details on activating Visual Voicemail.

Msi 970a-g46 - BIOS update got interrupted, screen is now perma black

So recently my computer has started having issues where it will just freeze out of nowhere leaving me only with sound, no mouse, no keyboard, i believe a still image on the screen (cant tell due to the mouse/keyboard).
Either way, so i figured i would go about and update all of my drivers, while updating my BIOS drivers, my computer had one of these freezes and i was careless enough to hit the restart button...
So now whenever i try and boot my computer, i am left with a pure black screen, and nothing else...
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Piers.

Try a battery removed CMOS clear and reset. The freeze may have been RAM, PSU, VGA related. A BIOS update is firmware, etc., no drivers involved. A list of system components may be of help in the troubleshooting process;
>> Posting Guide <<
So after doing that, i plugged it back in, and got a long squealing beep tone so i immediately unplugged it... im also a huge retard, and powered it on while i had the jumpers on clear data... i feel retarded and i hope i didn't just break my motherboard even more... D':

Hp envy-m6 1201tx (Bios Update with switch-able graphics option)

Hi I have bought Hp envy-m6 1201tx, it is very smooth in working & all,
but the problem comes with switchable graphics.
i've studied every possible option for switchable graphics to work so i can use my AMD (Radeon HD 7670M),
but i can't because my pc does not support Opengl applications to run on High-perforance (AMD gpu) & and thus im forced to used low quality GPU(Intel HD Graphics 4000) which i don't want . I want to use my AMD GPU and it it only possible if there is a (Bios Upgrade) from HP with the option of Switchable Graphics(Fixed Mode & Dynamic Mode). I've spent around $927 for this pc and also upgraded the RAM as well to 16GB & it will be all in vain if i can't use my AMD GPU. I just want bios upgrade for my PC like HP did the same bios upgrade for these PC's http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02948560&lc=en&cc=uk&dlc=en . Its a problem all HP envy-m6 1201tx users and others are facing.. I im a loyal Customer of HP and i dont want to switch to any other brand so HELP and Replay ASAP.
I hope i wont get disappointed........
Regards

badar_salam
The only BIOS update available for the HP ENVY m6-1201tx Notebook PC is "HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)" below. As to whether or not it includes Switchable Graphics in it I cannot say as there is nothing the description saying it does.
HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115872-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Not every computer or Notebook will have the option in the BIOS as not every computer or Notebook are the same hardware requirements may not be available for a BIOS option.

Update now blank screen on MacBook Pro

I updated MacBook Pro yesterday and after restart the screen was and still is blank. Restarts do nothing. Any ideas?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Satellite L840 - BIOS update and blue screen

Hello,
I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04E (PSK8LA- O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64bit.
Issue: BlueScreen
Question: I assume this is the dreaded "blue screen of death" and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I've used the laptop lightly for a couple of days with no issues).
How do I analyze the dump information to find out what caused the blue screen?
Or is it best to go back to the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made before I updated the BIOS from v 1.80 to 6.20. Also, Toshiba shows that there is a new BIOS 6.30 version.
Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting for the on/off button to "shut down" and made a few minor other changes to settings and then just before the blue screen error I plugged in a Seagate External Hard Drive.
Are there any suggestions about what steps I should take?
Thanks so much.
April

Hi
Generally the BSOD appears due to serious software problem or hardware problem.
You said you connected an external USB HDD to the notebook right before the BSOD appeared so probably the BSOD was caused by the attached HDD who knows
If this happened for the first time, dont be afraid it could be just a temporal problem
But if it would appear often, you should investigate a little bit and should try to replicate the issue and the reason for that

Lenovo G530 bios update now blue screen!!!

Ok i have a lenovo G530 with service code 4446-23u. I downgraded to windows XP and it was running fine. I was on lenovo.com and saw that there were newer bios then what i was using(i think i had 1.06, and there is now 1.09 ) so i decided to flash my bios to get them up to date. It flashed fine and asked me to reboot so i said Ok and now everytime i try to start the computer it goes through the bios screen onto the windows XP boot screen then flashes the "Blue Screen" and reboots. It won't start in safe mode or any mode. I put in my XP disk to reinstall XP and i get it to boot from cd and it loads for a while then goes to the "blue screen". Anyone know what is causing this? or how to fix it? I am completely fine with going back to the old bios but don't know how to do that or if its possible.
