Garbage in HP splash screen on boot at ultrawide resolution

The system is HP Envy 700-215xt, ROM Family 2AF7, latest BIOS 80.16 Rev. A installed, also latest Intel video driver (though intel video driver has no part in the problem). The graphics is integrated Intel HD4600 in i7-4770 CPU, video out through DVI port on the mainboard.
The problem appears when connected to an ultrawide display with UW-UXGA resolution 2560x1080, model is LG 29MA73V.
On boot-up (from cold or a reboot all the same), when the HP logo is shown, the bottom part of the screen is filled with garbage, various color dots. The resolution at this point is 2560x1080 and is detected correctly, checked by monitor info, and also as the HP logo is round and not strethed as it would be at 1920x1080 resolution.
The number of colored lines appears to be 270, which coincides with (2560*1080-1920*1080)/2560. My understanding of the cause of this is that when drawing this splash screen BIOS fills with black only the area of 1920*1080=2073600 pixels, but since the resolution is detected correctly, to the screen goes 2560*1080=2764800 pixels, hence (2764800-2073600)/2560=270 lines of garbage.
I think this needs a BIOS fix, which would be quite easy to do.

Removed Battery from MB to clear CMOS, Now no MSI splash screen, no booting

My System:
CPU: AMD 720 X3 2.3 Mhz per core.
MB: MSI K9A2 Platinum, Version 1, 1.4
Memory: OCZ Platinum II memory, 4 1gb sticks. 667
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD4850, 1GB memory
HD: Seagate Baracuda 7200 500GB memory card. RAID. Recently replaced. I can hook it up as an external SATA -> ESATA to my laptop via a 1.5 ESATA PCMCIA card.
OS: XP, SP3, 32 bit
PSU: Ultra 750w, +5v 32A
My PC was working, until this. In the boot menu, I was getting the raid setting instead of the hard drive, so I decided to reset the CMOS. I changed the Jumper and that did not clear settings enough. I pulled the battery and reinstalled it. Now, When I turn the PC on, I just see a black screen. No MSI splash screen, no Posting. No response at all. The MB gets power. Lights on, fans working, but nothing more. My main HD is getting power but it is not read. There is no sound of feel of the heads moving. As I mentioned, I can access it as an external drive on my laptop and all diagnostics have been fine.
I don't know what I did to my system, but I would really appreciate any help fixing it. I have built PCs since the mid 90s, and I am sure that all cables are connected properly.
Thank you.

5V of the powersupply is unimportant, the 12V combined output it (if the psu lists that).
As for the memory, try 1 stick only! See what happens.
The Cmos clear jumper clears everything, HOWEVER! the power from the powersupply MUST be removed!
Else it keeps getting 5V-stb and the cmos won't be cleared.
However, this didn't happen out of the blue, what did you do before this?
12V 45A. The MB started every time before this.

G580 (2189) Stuck on Splash Screen during Boot process

Recently my G580 (2189) hangs on Boot. Get the spash screen and pressing F2 or F12 does nothing. Have to keep power cycling the laptop up to 10 times before the boot process succeeds and loads windows.
Running Win7 Professional on G580 (2189) laptop.
Problem only recently started in the past couple of months after a series of Windows updates were installed.
Disk Check reports no errors.
I have read this is a BIOS issue. I have tried changing BIOS to EFI instead of UEFI, but the intermittent problem persists. No updates to my BIOS are available through Lenovo, and I have found no insight when searching the forums. I have found numerous people with the exact same problem, but what I read is that a new motherboard is called for from the people who have contacted Tech Support. I have tried the battery removal, power button 30 seconds, etc. but it does nothing to fix the problem.
Everything worked perfectly up until about 2 months ago. Never an issue. Now my laptop stall on boot, and one stop doesn't even work when the spash screen is stuck and windows does not load.
Anyone know of the "cause" of the problem? Is it truely a BIOS issue?
Any suggestions as to a solution. Laptop only recently went out of warranty, and I find it bizzare that it won't even boot. if it is a BIOS issue, I am guessing reinstalling Win7 Pro won't help.

Follow the below mentioned steps to resolve the issue:
Check if there are any external devices connected to the computer, if yes remove them and restart the system to check if the issue occurs.
Perform Startup Repair:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/startup-repair
If the issue persists, then start the system in safe mode with networking and check if the Windows load successfully.
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mf...
If it works fine in safe mode try performing a clean boot to find the root cause.
To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Plymouth does not load the splash screen on boot

I installed plymouth, plymouth-theme-arch-logo from AUR. then created new initramfs using the 'plymouth-set-default-theme -R' option. On my 'kernel line' I have given 'quiet splash' options.
But when I boot I only get a '%oo' , thrice and the keep glowing alternatively and nothing else happens. I was expecting to see some decent art work. Can anyone help me in this.

I too have had the same problem and haven't been able to get plymouth working properly yet...Currently there are lot of issues related to video drivers as well as stopping issues with plymouth. Also, plymouth works properly only with certain DMs i guess. Which DM are you using? and have you disabled the respective xDM service and enabled xDM-plymouth service?
I was able to get plymouth working with gdm after gnome updated to 3.14. The plymouth service ran properly at boot but wouldn't stop when it was supposed to and thus I would be in a boot loop.
Any help here would be great. Currently I'm using LightDM...Is there a way to get plymouth working with LightDM?

Thinkpad X1 Carbon stuck on splash screen

I bought a new X1 Carbon (20A7) a week ago and from time to time the laptop gets stuck on the ThinkPad splash screen when booting. I have to hold the power button to turn it off and then it boots fine. My brother has this problem with T540p, although this happens to him a LOT more often (also, if he waits patiently for 10-20 minutes, the system boots eventually, I havent tried that on my X1). It doesn't matter if the AC is connected, whether there is something connected to USB ports, whether it was a restart or just normal boot, there is no pattern that I can see, this seems random. We tried updating the BIOS to the newest version, our USB ports are not bent or anything, the SSD with the OS is set as the first boot device. This still happens. I see there are more people with thinkpads who have the similar problem, but their solutions do not apply (if there were any).
Solved!

OK, so I contacted support, Lenovo replaced my SSD drive (wrranty applies) and the problem is gone. The service guy said that SSD Firmware update using Lenovo application may have worked, but I had Ubuntu installed, so I was unable to run it.

Start before splash screen problems

Pavillion DV6338SE
When notebook is turned on it can take 5 minutes to an hour to get to the HP splash screen and boot. The blue leds blink then it seems to try again and again and again. If it gets to the HP Splash screen it always bootsThis happens even if a bootable CD is in the CD drive. Once it boots it "seems" to work OK. I have checked the HD in the "setup" and it tests OK. I have updated the bios.
I don't "think" it is the HD, maybe the controller?
Suggestions.
Hope is not another AMD motherboard that has plagued HP.over the last several years.
Thanks

ThinkPad splash screen

Is there a way to disable the ThinkPad splash screen during boot up? I checked out the BIOS settings on my T400 but to no avail.
Thanks

I disabled a few things under the BIOS that I wasn't using and a few things within Windows mentioned here..
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/What-is-the-Rapid-Boot-extreme-feature-on-T...
So far, it went from a 28 second bootup to about 20 seconds (I'm also using an SSD). The shutdown time is about 5.8 seconds. At this point, I'm pretty content with the progress now.
Thank you all for the comments.

Hp m9500z crashed, able to restart and restore, now no HP splash screen, just hangs

Hp m9500z crashed, able to restart and restore, now no HP splash screen, just hangs. after unplugging power for several hours, i was able to get system running, ran disk scans for errors, no problem. few minutes after vista is up it crashed again. when restarting all fans run full speed, no hp splash screen on boot, nothing. i have tried resetting CMOS using the jumper trick, nothing. removed the battery, nothing. i have even tried the blind tricks i have seen suggested, like pressing F10 for 8 seconds, etc. during one of the last times before it totally died out i ran the BIOS system diagnosis, everything was fine. I am thinking I have a corrupted bios. Any ideas? Could be a fried motherboard, but I am hoping its not that bad. Product num nh836av-aba.
This question was solved.

From your description I would suggest unplugging the video card and trying the onboard video. Your mb specs should be these: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01635688&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
Please ensure you have some esd protection and NEVER delve into your unit without first physically unplugging it from the power at the wall

Splash Screen/KMS

So I have wanted to get a splash screen for boot. My monitor is 1920x1080, and all I want to do is show a picture. I have been browsing the wiki and ive come across several things; fbsplash, usplash, splashy, and Plymouth. Whats good for what?
I have a 9500GT, and I saw conflicting info on KMS. Some say that nouveau driver supports it, while some say it is unsupported. What's true? I tried installing the nouveau driver, and everything seemed to be working, but mkinitcpio said the hook didn't exist.
GNOME 3 made me want everything to be polished and spiffy

Hello, let me explain:
1- KMS is activated if you use nouveau driver.
2- KMS is deactivated if you install the nvidia binary driver.
3- If KMS isn't activated you need to set up the tty resolution, usually you can do this installing some packages and touching the mkinitcpio hooks.
So if you use nouveau instead of nvidia binary driver, KMS is fully compatible and you don't need to touch mkinitcpio hooks(for tty resolution).

K7 Pro (MS 6195) Splash Screen

Having recently upgraded to the latest BIOS, I now get a MSI Splash Screen at boot up. How can I remove this not particularly 'helpful' feature? X(

turn of show full screen logo in bios section 2 advanced normally

BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
"The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the
driver wasnt for the system, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change
this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

T430U not booting - blank screen or never gets passed splash screen

System specs:
Lenovo T430U
Intel i5-3427U
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz SoDIMM Memory
HDD 500G 7200rpm Toshiba
mSATA 24GB Samsung Cache
Win 8 Pro, upgraded to 8.1
I rarely use this machine but a couple of months ago I went to boot it up and found that I was not able to get past the Windows splash screen. Sometimes I don't even get the Windows splash screen, I just get a black screen. Rarely I get a Windows screen saying that it is diagnosing a system problem or something to that effect and I can even get to where it will allow me to do some Windows diagnostics but nothing ever comes of it and the process is extremely slow.
I called Lenovo, but of course my machine is out of waranty so the tech just gave me a few pointers and said I could send it in to the depo but the potential repair cost could range up to about 75% of what I paid for the machine in the first place. Anyways, after having me try a few things in the BIOS he suggested that it was likely the hard drive. I mistakenly thought from the time that I bought this machine that the OS was installed on the 24 GB SSD so I ordered a new SSD and swapped it in. This made no difference at all as I have now learned that the mSATA SSD drive is merely for cache to speed up booting.
I am afraid that this means the main HDD is at fault, and quite frankly, if I replace it I am going to do a fresh install of Windows 7. But I do have pictures and docs that I would like to salvage if possible. Any ideas on what might be going on here?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Install this on the computer that you are going to hook up the hard drive to: https://www.piriform.com/recuva
I've had pretty good luck with it in getting files off of dying hard drives. Wrap the hard drive in a small towel and put it in the freezer for a half an hour, then take it out and hook it up and run recuva right away. You might get lucky.
It sounds funny but I've had it work more than once.

L512 Wont Boot , Splash Screen then stuck blank screen and Fan in full throttle

I was using the laptop, then it went to suspend mode due normal timeout.
When it came back, the fan start to spin full throttle but it was functionating beside that, normally.
I restarted but then it never boot again.
This is the process where it gets stucked
Boot to Splash Screen, Beep, then a black screen and the fan start to spin at full speed.
(In the post in diagnostic mode, shows no error, pass the memory check, shows the info of the processor )
I tried this:
Retired Hard Disk,
Press 60 Seconds (Reset BIOS) - without battery and power cord
Press 10 times the power button an then 30 seconds -- without battery and power cord
Visually there is no damage in the usb ports, maybe i will need to disassembly to get a better view to check if there is a short somewhere.
With this symptoms , what should else i try. Could be a memory issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide me.

Thanks to the Mod!
It happens that if i wait for about 30 secs, then it will boot up, asking a proper boot media.
I was testing it and was workiing fine, except for the Fan working at full speed, Not suspending or shuting down or Hibernate. Only blinking power button led. So a rude disconnection /Battery Extraction needed to acomplish full shutdown.
But Now in the bios diagnostics splash shows
2201: Machine UUID is invalid
The bios shows only 0s in the uuid section.
i was looking for some imformation about this problem, and i found tah can be solved using some kind of floppy for servicing the laptop.
I ve already downloaded a copy, Havent tried yet, But plan to do some test. as soon i can get some spare time.
It appear tha some comand will let me regenerate the UUID, and with some luck, reflashing the bios will solve my problem.
I'll update as any new steps performed

Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not boot - hangs at BIOS splash screen

My Satellite pro L300-1FN is refusing to boot up. When switched on the laptop displays the toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS splash screen and the "Press F2 go to Setup Utility, F12 go to boot menu" message and flashes the hard disk access light but does not attempt to continue loading. I have left the bios at the splash screen but it does nothing for many hours on AC or runs the battery flat while on battery.
Is there a way of re-setting the BIOS on this unit? If it were a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a BIOS reset but this is impossible on a laptop. The hard disk is fine as I have connected it to another system to remove valuable data.

*I managed to fix this issue* ,,, thanks to some other dudes on other forums
What i did was Format a Floppy disk as MS-DOS boot using a Windows XP PC and USB floppy drive, then downloaded the latest BIOS for my L300-1BW laptop model, copied *.fd bios image to the floppy disk and renamed it to BIOS.fd.
Connect FDD to the toshiba laptop with out AC connected. Held Power button for 12 seconds, connected AC adapter, then held Fn+F, powered on , and kept the Fn+F keys held down for about 10 seconds into the reading of the floppy drive just to be sure, then let go. The screen was black throughout the process. I left this for a few minutes, or until it had finished, the laptop rebooted itself, and voila, it now goes passed the TOSHIBA POST logo screen :)
I hope this helps others with Toshiba Laptops. should work for any Toshiba laptop.
