K8n neo4 will not post after spyware removal

Hello all
I ran spybot this morning and 3 objects it found were in memory and required a reboot to remove. I selected restart and and the machine shut down .... it came back to the platinum screen and there it sits. I have powered cycled the box no change. I cannot even boot from a floppy. I cannot access the bios. its as if it did not completely finish coming down before the restart.
I have a k8n neo4
amd 64 athalon
1 gig ddr memory
sorry I dont have all my info in front of me I am at work.......
Any thoughts on what I should try. I am not sure if this is tied to the spyware removal or simply an unfortunate incident.
Thanks in advance
Jim

Hello all:
Well I did not expect this but I had left the computer unplugged all day while I was at work and when I came home and plugged it in and powered it up all came up normal. I dont really get it, but I am glad it is operational... I will be taking a close look at everything and if anyone can think of what may have occurred let me know what u think....
Thanks to all who made suggestions...

Lightroom CC (2015) will not launch after install removed and re installed and re boot nothing!

Lightroom CC 2015 was installed today via Creative Cloud but will not open, removed program and re installed still nothing. Did a reboot and still nothing. Creative Cloud says that it is installed.
Windows 7
Thank's for any help!

Update: the trick is to try it over and over and over again. CC desktop warns it wants me to register my product and complete a profile (bizarre.) But it is updating the catalog now so I presume it will work.
Have same problem. Shows installed; I found "Adobe LIghtroom.app" which was installed today 1.51gb; when I click on it it flashes and then nothing. I restarted the mac, restarted the CC app, nothing. Very frustrating and makes me wonder if the Cloud solved any problems for me.

HP Pavilion dv7 1070us will not POST

Model: HP Pavilion dv7 1070us
System will not POST after replacing FAN.
I first replaced the FAN, then after re-assembling the unit resulting in:
Black screen,
CAPS-LOCK white LED continuous 1 second blink,
F12-WIFI amber LED solid ON,
The FAN comes on, then stops for a few seconds then restarts and stays on;
I thought this indicated that the CPU was running.
I did all the normal tricks:
RAM in-out various combinations,
CMOS battery removal.
Power adapter and Battery removal combinations.
Hard Reset by holding power button for 15-30 seconds w/o battery or PS attached.
remove un-necessary devices: HD, wi-fi, DVD, etc
Still does not work.
So I figured the Video portion of the CPU was bad.
I then ordered and replaced the AMD A10 4600m CPU.
Re-assembled the machine and still the same symptoms.
I guess the CPU was not bad.
I give up.
How could HP release a machine that does not POST when the main pieces are good:
Motherboard,
CPU,
RAM
Power.
I did not buy a new CMOS battery. Can't imagine that would keep it from POST'ing.
Any help ???? Otherwise went from working to JUNK.
A thought: Laptops are not worth the money you pay if they only last a few years.

3 ea MSI K8N Diamond Plus will not POST

I have 3 K8N Diamond Plus motherboards that recently started having intermittent problems POSTing to BIOS. I initially found it possible to boot by clearing CMOS and reentering my settings; however, over time these boards have gotten to where they will not POST at all. Power comes up, but the four-LED diagnostic display stays continuously red, indicating no BIOS activity. Ideally, I'd like to get my hands on a service manual for this board, but if anyone can throw out common issues with this board as a starting point, that would be great. All of these boards have been in service for more than 3 years in 3 different machines. The failure appears to have identical symptoms. I would bet the component that has failed is common to all 3 boards. It seems other people are having the very same problem with these boards over several years of service. I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting tactics with no success. Thanks!

Check for bulging, leaking, ruptured capacitors near CPU socket.

K8T Master2-Far Will not POST unless CMOS is freshly cleared!

Hey all, thanks for helping out.
I came back to my computer one day to find it in a coma. The system was on, but the screen was getting no signal and would not come on by moving the mouse/keyboard like usual. I thought that maybe it had turned off the monitor for power save and then frooze some how. After restarting the computer I found that it was still doing the same thing. I shut down the system and unpluged. After waiting about 5 min i plugged back in and flipped the switch on the powersupply. This started the computer right up (even though i had not pushed th power button) and left it in the same condition as before. It simply would not post. After closer inspection I found that it was not posting because it wasn't getting far enough in the process before it was being restarted. I checked the restart button and even went as far as removing it from the motherboard. This did not help. I knew it was restarting because i could see it checking the optical drives then waiting for about 4 seconds, then a weird noise from the speakers (like a soft cruching so to speak) would happen, then it would do this all over again, non stop. That noise was familliar though, it was the normal noise that I hear when I push the restart button (I'm guessing a release of electricity etc..) so I knew what was going on.
After switching the memory out and in all orders, I stripped the system down to the bare min. This however did not change anything. I put the system back together and flashed the cmos. This made the system restart once, then "BEEP" it posted. It said CMOS Checksome Error - Defaults Loaded. I first pushed DEL to get into the bios. I changed everything back to how its suppost to be (time, apature, etc...) then saved and exited. This made the system go back into its restarting state. I then flashed the cmos again and pushed F1 to continue. The system booted up just fine. In safemode of course. Then i restarted. It then went back into its restarting state. I flashed the bios again. And after pushing F1 to continue selected it to go into windows normally. Everytime it does this it gets different results. One time it got past the windows xp loading screen and sat at the black screen before you get your curser and welcome screen (sigh... restart... flash..). It also once got in just fine, and after about 5 min got a blue screen about "bad pool caller". It most the time however gets a random blue screen right after you see the welcome screen. These blue screens consist of "bad pool caller", "IRQ Equal or Lesser Value", or No notes, just generic blue screen.
If i change anything in my bios it will not post. If i dont flash the cmos, it will not post. If i dont change anything in bios and continue, then restart, it will not post. The only way for it to post and for me to see anything on the screen is to flash the cmos. I thought it might be the power supply, but the only extra i have does not have the extra plug to power the 2nd cpu. After thinking about it though. I dont know if it could be a power supply issue, if it was then would it even load up into safe mode? Or why would it not load up into safe mode again after restarting. I have tried an extra stick of memory that i know works in a separate computer, but nothing changed. I have tried a different videocard... nothing changed. I have removed everthing accept the basics (motherboard, cpu's,videocard,memory,psu) and nothing changed.
I have worked on this for about 1 week now and can not figure it out. I have my useless MCSE/CSE/A+ certifications (I say useless because I dont have a job that uses them) but this one is beyond me. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brandon
P.S. I dont know if this is related, but I did have to change from useing the DVI connection to RGB plug to even see anything once I heard it post. I was useing DVI before, and once i figured out that it would post after flashing cmos, I had to change to RGB to get any visual. The DVI will not work now at all. I have even tried changing cords. The DVI wont work in safemode either. Thanks

I reckon these mobos have a fault that really needs to be sorted. You say that your PC was working fine using PC 3200 memory with 240's. I have a similliar problem, I am using 246's with Kingston' PC3200 KVR333X72RC25/512D 2.5 ECC REG. The PC worked fine for about two weeks and then one day went on a blink, every time I power it up all I get is beeps. I was forced to order new BIOS, which didn't work everything else has been tested and works fine.
So I ordered micron memory 2X512 PC 2100 266 ECC REG which I was told by the supplier that it was compartible, that didn't work either. I then went on to check the battery, to my surprise the battery was low so I thought I had nailed it, went out bought a new battery but the problem still exits. I must say though after installing the micron memory it did boot up but when I went into BIOS to change settings to boot fro CDROM the damn thing would not restart I had to switch it off using the power button to restart it and when it restarted all i got was beeps. After that to get it to bootup I have to reset CMOS using the jumper and when it boots up it gives a checksum error message. I have a choice of two at this stage
(1) To Press F1
(2) To Press delete o go into BIOS setup
The F1 option takes me as far as the windows log on screen and that's it cuts off as if it is gonna boot itself backup but just hangs there.
The Delete option takes into BIOS which when exited the PC does nothing until powered down and powered up again, from here I have to reset CMOS to get it to bootup.
I have been told that the kingston memory is not compatible but my question is how did it work the first two weeks?
Good ol' Bas have helped out on this one quite often but here I am three months on still in a struggle. I thought of RMAing the board but it would cost me about 160 pounds and with that kind of money I could pick up another boad from kompllete.com and remain with some change for a couple of buds.
"To bass You said in the last post that the poblem could be the power supply changed it but that has not solved my problem"

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old

Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

P6N Diamond will not post

I noticed that my PSU was going bad about 2 weeks ago. I had a 680w installed and I replaced it with a 750w. The PC booted into windows on the first power up. Then after about 2mins it rebooted on it's own and now it won't post. Everything seems to be working. I'm leaning towards a bad mobo but I don't want to give up on maybe something being knocked loose. Do you guys have any idea as to what could possibly be disconnected and cause these issues.
- Will not post
- No video
- Keyboard won't power up

OK, upon further inspection, it looks like the system is booting the HD, Optical Drives, and Video Card. I'm not getting any system beeps. There is no video being displayed and my keyboard is not booting (logitech G5, old style with flip up LCD display). My on-board sound seems to be booting as well (I can here a boom from the Sub, that is normal operation). Things I've tried
- Clear CMOS
- Mobo has a quick reset button for it and I removed the battery
- Moved the Video Card to all 4 PCI-E slots
- The fan spins up in every slot
- The video card is also knew, about 4 months old
- Triple checked that all the SW were wired up correctly
- Triple checked that the PSU is all plugged in to everything correctly
- Decreased the load on the PSU by disconnecting the fans, 1 of the 2 optical drives, and all of the case lighting

Will Not Copy After Being Idle

THIS IS A COPYING ISSUE!!! After installing the upgraded version of Comcast's latest modem/router, our HP 6550 would not print. I contacted Comcast and reported the difficulty and they informed me it was a printer problem - not their new modem. Consequently, we purchased a new HP 5740 printer The printing function worked fine and it would copy immediatley after the printer was turned on, however, after the printer sat idle for a couple of hours, the copy function would not work. If you then turned the printer off and immediately turned it back on, it would copy. Again, Comcast reiterated it was a printer problem. I returned the original 5740 back to the store from which it was purchased and exchanged it for another HP 5740 printer. After hooking up the second HP 5740, the same problems with copying occurred. I returned the second HP 5740 to the dealer for a refund and left town for three months. We recently returned and purchased a HP ENVY 7645 printer from another dealer. We are having the same issues with this printer as we had with the two previous HP 5740 printers. I discussed the situation with a level II supervisor at Comcast and he arranged for a new modem/router to be brought to the house and installed by a technician. The installation occurred today and we are still experiencing exactly the same problem. The Comcast technician who installed the new modem/router (who couldn't wait around while the printer sat idle) said that if the problems occurs after the installation, we should purchase a printer/copier from another manufacturer - or turn our printer "off and then on" when we want to copy. He also asid that if this problem does continue after the new modem/router is installed, it definitely won't be a Comcast problem. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I SHOULD GO FROM HERE?

Hi @lamoso,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 7645 will not copy after being idle. I am happy to look into this for you!
I believe this is happening due to the printer going into sleep mode. As the options are for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes for sleep mode to activate. I would recommend trying a hard reset, by going to this post,How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
After the hard reset, I would then make sure the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Let's see what happens after giving these two steps a try!

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was released

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

Actually, wasting bandwidth is a waste of people's resources who offer to help here. You posted and got answers to your post. What you thought of that would be better (for you) was posting it in every corner of AD that might get read would give you a response 30 nanoseconds faster than posting once. So read your answer and enjoy your computer.
All you need to do is post in the right forum section, and wait for a response. It will come unless nobody has a clue which rarely occurs.
