Idea Centre K only starts up 50% of the time; I am confused.

Hello:
I have a new Lenovo Idea Centre K desktop with 64bits and Windows Vista. Unfortunately, the computer only makes it past the "Lenovo" booting screen about half the time. The computer freezes on this screen, I must hold down the power button, then start again, where it will always start the next time. This freezing occurs before the beep part with the blinking cursor. If it makes it past the Lenovo screen, there is always only one beep. Usually, the times it doesn't start are after 12 or more hours when the computer is turned off. After I shut it down and try again, it will start every time and work fine thereafter. I checked that it is properly set to 115V for my regional power needs. This issue is annoying because I must watch the computer power up rather than push the button and let it power while I do other activities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:
Dan

All,
We can look into the issue generically and see if there are any thoughts on things to try. To make more progress, it would be helpful to know which model K series desktop you have, and a bit about your configuration, and whether this pattern is consistent.
Does it always fail to boot all the way through on first power up, and then always successfully go through on the retry? What, if anything has been added or externally connected to the system via USB or other ports?

Idea centre B series turns itsself off.

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone can help? I have an idea centre B520 and when I turn it on it begins to startup but then turns itself off again within a few seconds.
If I turn it on again everything works but very slowly and I now have a long start up time ( twice what it was before this problem)
I wondered if there is anyone who knows why this is happening and how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
I’d like to ask you if you can see that the machine turns off while working on the machine or it would happen only during the booting.
And please share with us if you’ve installed a new software recently that after that you can see that this problem happen with you.
Thanks and Regards,
Soha

Idea Centre K410 does not appear to have a NOVO button

Idea Centre K410 does not appear to have a NOVO button at all
Moderator Note; subject edited; post moved to here

Hi Docol,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that there is no NOVO button in your K410 Computer, but the OKR (One Key Recovery) menu can be accessed by tapping on “F2” key once turning on the computer until the Lenovo Rescue System open, then select OneKey Recovery. Below is the link to download the User Guide for the computer and refer page no. 20 for the steps to access and perform OKR.

Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

Can I plug a desk top computer into my Idea Centre A310, and if so how?

I have an Idea Centre which has a great screen, but the centre is running so slowly despite my local pc fixer doing his best to clean it up and using an external HD for most files including photos. So I was wonder if I bought a desk top pc only with say 6-8gb RAM and 1TB HD, could I connect this to the centre just to use the monitor only and if so how? I would get my pc fixer guy to transfer all the info I required off the centre to the desk top pc.

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
I'm not an owner of your model and I could be wrong, but....... Your A310 does have an HDMI IN port which you should be able to use to receive the video signal from another computer that has an HDMI OUT port. The problem I see is the HDMI IN port on the A310 wouldn't be a direct signal to the display. The signal would need to be processed by the A310 before it is displayed on the screen and if you are not happy with the A310 performance I suspect it would effect the display from the second computer as well.
Have you ever had your A310 checked for viruses ? Or was the performance not to your liking since it was new ?

Mobile phones blocked when Idea Centre switched on ?

Bizarre as it might seem, I have just brought a new Idea Centre deskp top. Ever since then all the mobile phones in the house wont ring or receive text emssages, they go straight to voice mail. I wonder if it is the Bluetooth on the pc that is causing it, if not, might there be some other signal it is sending out.
I cannot see how to turn off the Bluetooth to see if it is caused by that
Any ideas ?

unplug the pc and test your phones

Idea Centre K410 boots to cmd prompt only

Hi, I'm trying to fix an IdeaCentre K410 with Windows 8 on it. The issue is when I power on the computer it does the following:
1. the "lenovo" logo comes up
2. the system beeps once as the logo disappears
3. the logo comes back after the beep
4. a circle of dots starts spinning under the logo
5. a blue (maybe bluish-green) box appears for a second or two (literally)
6. cmd.exe pops up
The command prompt starts out with X:\windows\system32>
The C: drive has been reformatted so windows is no longer installed on it. The X: drive (I'm guessing this is the recovery partition?) appears to be intact as the X: directory contains OneKey, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Users, Windows, and LRSBootTmp.log
I've moved into the OneKey\main directory and attempted to run LRSBoot.exe (assuming this is the Lenovo Recovery System) but it pops up an alert box with the title "Caution" and then says "First parameter format is not correct, as X:XX.vbs" I have absolutely no idea what that means. The only thing I can do at that point is click "OK" (the only option) or hit the red x; both of which take me back to command prompt.
I was also given the Lenovo Start Recovery Discs that came with the computer, but there is no option to boot from the cd/dvd drive. I've gone into the BIOS (the only other thing I can get into besides cmd prompt) and looked at the boot settings but the only options I get are Auto, UEFI Only, and Legacy Only. I've tried all three. I've also checked the "Secure Boot" status but it is disabled and I don't seem to even have the option to enable it (though everything I've read says to leave it disabled).
I've put the recovery disc and went through the various directories (in cmd prompt) trying several executables that looked like they might start the recovery program. I get told every time that, "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present" or "This version of..." insert file/executable here "...is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher."
I'm at a loss what to do. I've never encountered a BIOS that didn't have a boot from cd/dvd option. Nor have I ever had a computer that only loads up exclusively in cmd prompt. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok so I solved it after several hours... Remind me never to buy a Lenovo computer or quite possibly Windows 8.
For anyone else experiencing the same type of issue here is what I ended up doing.
I pulled the hard drive from the Lenovo computer and hooked it up to my personal desktop. I then ran diskpart.exe in the Run window (Windows key + R, or should be at the bottom of the start bar). I used diskpart to delete every partition (including the "hidden" ones on the Lenovo hard drive; this included four partitions labeled "Recovery," one labeled "OEM," one labled "ETFS" (or something like that, I should have written it down), and the C: partition. Once I had a completely unpartitioned unformated drive I used diskmanagement to format the drive using NTFS. Disk management is found by right-clicking the My Computer or Computer icon and clicking on Manage: this pops up Computer Management and Disk Management should be one of the options in the left-hand pane.
Once this was done I shut down my computer, unplugged the power cable, disconnected the hard drive and then put it back into the Lenovo computer. At this point I went into the BIOS settings on the Lenovo computer and reset them to factory default, with a slight change to the boot priority (I made the DVD drive the top priority, not sure if this was necessary or not). I then inserted the Lenovo recovery disc 1, and allowed the computer to boot. Since it could no longer find any remnant of the previous Windows 8 installation it quit trying to boot from the hard drive, and instead booted from the CD.
Then I just had to wait (about 2 hours) for the whole recovery process to complete and pay attention to when it asked for the next recovery disc--which I don't think it actually used discs 4 or 5 but I put them in anyways just to have it immediately tell me to move on to the next disc. Disc 6 did finish the process however so no complaints. Once the discs were complete it started unloading files in several cmd prompt windows and seemed to be stuck for most of the 2 hours at this point. However, a few of the cmd prompt windows are minimized and if you maximize them you will see it is working you just need patience.
After it was all said and done I created the profile and checked for windows updates about 20 times (an exaggeration but not by much) and voila it now works. Windows 8 is back on the computer and everything is running fine. And to top it off I didn't have to call and deal with the Lenovo support.
That said I'm not sure this is the best approach and if I had realized how screwed up the computer was I probably wouldn't have offered to fix it. I don't recommend this approach unless you really feel comfortable in what you are doing or have nothing to lose. Anyways thought I would share as in most cases there are several other people with the same problem.

Idea centre K410 clicking noise inside the cabinet

I have just bought a desktop computer Lenovo ideacentre K410. When in operation there is always quite an audible noise inside the cabinet, it's like small stowns rolling down the mountain. I suspect it's made by HDD. A service centre told me it's normal, but it's rather loud and can be distinctly heard at distance 3-5 metres. What can be done about this? Please help.

Unfortunately being a peer to peer forum, like others, it tends to get a little less traffic at weekends and because of that sometimes a little patience may be required waiting for a member to respond who may be knowledgeable in the field regarding your query.

Idea Centre B540 "Optional Features"

I am just about to buy the B540 online but im held back by certain important features being noted as "optional" (ie: HDMI output, 3D Vision, TV Tuner, Blu-ray etc.). I cannot seem to find out how these optional features are added to my cart/spec nor how much these "optional features" cost, or even if they are in fact included in the spec.
Has anyone purchased this model and know the answer to these questions?
NB: Its really annoying that I can't call or chat to anyone at Lenovo outside normal working hours, nor can I find an email address to send my query.....appologies if I am wrong and just not looking in the right place!
Thanks in advance

Note:
If there is no image display in the AMCAP video capture window, Please confirm that preview in the options has been checked.
