HP desktop crashed and will not start

My HP computer (P7-1268C) crashed and will not restart. After trying everything I can think of, I pressed the start button once more and the color went from blue to orange and then blank again. The computer did not overheat as it is not even warm. Please help.

hello. I am not an expert but i will still try to help. first thing i would try is checking with a different monitor. If that does not work than i would create an ubuntu flashdrive. ubuntu is and free and open sorce os and is a good tempary fix if you need a computer fast. It is very easy to install onto a flash drive. ubuntu.com
it also sounds like if it isnt the monitor than its a virus.

Firefox crashed and will not start. I tried IE which will no longer start either.

I was surfing and when I clicked on ESPN.com firefox crashed without an error message. It would not start up after that. I did a restart and even tried to open up IE for a test (which didn't work either). Every time I shut down the computer it says FF is running...but no luck...
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I was on ESPN.com

I can access Firefox using the safe mode, which sucks, but I can not get into my profile. I can not access u6krt2kl my string is mlm303va.default

Iphone crashed and will not start up.

My phone crashed and now when I try to start it the Apple start-up screen comes up but then goes away and the phone does not start-up. I have tried reseting about a dozen times.

Connect it to iTunes and do a Restore per manual.
You may need to put it in the DFU mode per this site:

HT1343 My computer crashed and will not start. My keyboard is on but my monitor will not turn on. I know there is a way to restart the system by pressing both command keys as well as both shift keys along with 2 other letters. I can't remember what those

Can anyone help?

Here you go > Resetting the PRAM
If a PRAM reset doesn't help, try accessing OS X Recovery.
Shut down the Mac and wait about ten second\s.
Then startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. Let go of those keys when you see the spinning progresss indicator.
With any luck, you'll be able to access the built in utilities to verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.

Iphoto has crashed and will not open. Can I reinstall Iphoto without loosing my existing photos?

Iphoto crashed and will not start. How do I save my existing photos and videos and reinstall Iphoto?

reinstalling will not cure this - you need to rebuild your library- Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
And the ONLY way to "save" your photos and videos - and every other file on your computer - is to always have a good current backup - sooner or later your disk will fail and with no backup you will lose everything

Scrappy1 what do you mean exactly by doing a scan?
Under Windows 7 you will want to use the Programs and Features Control Panel to remove your installation. I would recommend verifying that Photoshop Lightroom is removed from the list of installed applications.

Firefox suddenly crashed and will not open

I am having this problem as well. I believe I have the latest version of FF. It was working fine all day then all of a sudden just crashed and will not open. I first kept getting a window stating"
"Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts"
I submitted the crash report all 3 times it crashed successfully. But now, Firefox will not open at all,not even in safe mode.
I have looked through any suggestions and nothing works. I can't even get the profile manager to open to test it.
I would like to roll back to a previous version, IF that will solve this problem,but it's my bookmarks that I want to save. I don't want to lose them. But how can I import them if I can't even get FF to start?
I did see a folder called bookmark backups or something, but for some reason it isn't showing all of them.
Also, I was in a live chat with someone trying to help but they just left :( I was able to see my crash report via the instructions on this site, but now what? What do I do with it?
Please can someone help me?

My iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load. What do you think is the problem?

What would be the reason why my iMovie keeps crashing and will not fully load?

I don't know what version of iMovie you are using, nor the Mac OS X version (that's always helpful when posting questions).
However, usually when iMovie has the type of problem you mention, it's advisable to firstly trash the preference file. Here's how to go about it for iMovie '11 on Mountain Lion (similar methods apply for other versions):
Go to your Home folder <your user name>/Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). Similar to Lion, on Mountain Lion (10.8.3), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike pre-Lion OS X versions). To access it, click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list. Slide the pointer down to Library and, as you release the pointer, the folder will open in Finder. Now you can navigate to the Preferences folder.
In your user Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings (this happens in the background as iMovie is loading).
If iMovie now opens and appears to be working properly, you can change the default settings in the menu item "IMovie > Preferences", as desired. Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm any existing Events or Projects.
Note that these instructions are for iMovie '11 (currently version 9.0.9). For users on earlier versions, the preference file has a different but similar name. For example, for iMovie '09 (that's version 8.0.6) the file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Earlier versions may or may not have a number in the name, for example, "com.apple.iMovie.plist"
If this doesn't fix the problem with iMovie crashing, please come back as I have another possible solution to offer.

Query by serial number
Apple's warrenty database will identify the type of Mac you have. Your serial number is securely sent, but you get only the name of your machine.
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
This site provides more information, but lacks security.
"A serial number is a unique, identifying number or group of numbers and letters assigned to an individual piece of hardware or software. It's used for various things depending on the product / brand but what is your Mac's serial number for and more importantly... what is it hiding and what can it do for you ?"

My iMac running 10.10 crashed and will not restart

My 27 iMac running 10.10 crashed and will not restart. It bongs and shows the apple. That is all. Is there a way to "safe" start it. I have backups

Turn off computer then back on hold down X key force OS X startup,or hold down shift key and computer will start in safe mode.

My home imac has crashed and will not boot up.

Hi
My home imac has crashed and will not boot up and I'm not sure where to start.
It wouldn't shut down properly so I turned off the power, and now it won't go beyond the apple logo and timeer when I try to restart it.
It is an imac (4 years old), Intel, running OS X, not sure which version, but probably the latest.
Thanks
Carol

I would first reset the SMC:
Shut down and unplug the Mac.
Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
Let us know if these two procedures don't solve the problems.
Hope this helps

Safari crashed and will not reopen!

Safari has crashed and will not reopen

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

My Desktop Mac Duo will not start up.

My Desktop Mac Duo will not start up. I keep getting a grey screen with the 'no entry' symbol. It can't find the srtat up disk. I cannot get it to start from the original system software CD either.

Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, whichever is applicable. Remove any aftermarket expansion cards. Check the installation DVD for dirt or scratches. Run a cleaning disc through the optical drive. Try again to boot from the DVD. If you can't, you have a hardware fault.
