Laptop fails to boot with battery

Probably the wrong subsection.. :3
Okay, so I have a Toshiba satellite l735-m14t running windows 7.
The problem started when I used CCleaner to clear out registry entries of uninstalled applications. Everything was running fine until I restarted. I can't connect to any network (ethernet/wifi/ad-hoc) after I restarted, so I foolishly restored what was apparently the latest backup of my registry, which is 6 months old (I have no saved image files to restore back to, so really had no choice). So I thought everything would run smoothly again but I soon discovered that my laptop started off restarting randomly between processes. Then a week after it started to do it even more. I can still boot it up when the adapter is plugged in, but it still does happen, but when I boot unplugged, after the Windows screen I just hear one click, then it restarts. When I plug in, boot, then try to unplug, during the 10 seconds in which it automatically restarts, the fan becomes noisy and the laptop becomes hot.
I read that it is apparently a hard drive failure. This Hard Drive has already been replaced once due also to a faulty hard drive. I also received three blue screens since about 2 weeks ago when this started happening. I don't know if the registry entries were the cause or it was just coincidence.
I've tried making another administrator account and the problem still persists. Also tried checkdsk, windows memory diagnostic for 4 hours, scanning for viruses, malware, but no results so far. I just want to know if I need to backup my files and take it back in for another replacement. ..
Also, can someone help me in booting to the freakin BIOS. whenever my laptop boots up, I see no prompt to press a function button to change boot settings, just a black screen with a cursor (?) like the one in cmd. I would like to try troubleshooting using a BootCD, but I can't access the BIOS. (tried f1-f12, esc, spacebar, tab, enter, and del, none works),

BUMP!
Okay, so I've found out I can boot unplugged to safe mode, but not in normal mode. So I tried boot logging, can somebody take a look in here for me. So many unloaded drivers.
Also, I've tried HWSetup and moved ODD as first in the order. It won't boot the CD and just directly goes to booting from the Hard Drive. Still can't access BIOS though.
EDIT: Uploaded another log file. (deleted the original then rebooted.)

Z68A-GD65 (G3) fails to boot with new Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 OC

Hi,
I have a problem with my new Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7950 (GV-R795WF3-3GD):
My system fails to boot with this GPU, with the old Radeon HD 4850 everything works fine.
Here are my system specs:
MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K
RAM: 8Gb DDR3-RAM (Corsair)
power supply: be quiet! Pure Power L7 530W
What I have already tried to fix the problem:
-CMOS Reset
-other PCI-e slot
-other power supply (old 750W)
Nothing worked.
Do I need a Bios update? My current version is V23.7, but I'm not sure whether I can use the latest versions because my CPU is a SandyBridge...

We can't help you woth your vga as it is no MSI product. You can try latest bios for your board (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--G3-.html#/?div=BIOS) because the latest bios versions for G3 boards are working well with Sandy and Ivy. If latest bios should not help and you like to downgrade the bios we can give you the needed files if you ask here.

HP Compaq 6715s laptop won't boot on battery after BIOS update

Hello!
I got this laptop on Ebay. The power controller was not working. Then I got it replaced with another, from a deffective motherboard. The laptop performed very well afterward.
And then I downloaded the latest BIOS version from the HP support page. Flashing went OK, but now it wont boot on battery anymore. The initial boot screen shows, the power light flashes in amber color a few times and the machine shuts down.
With the charger connected to the laptop everything is well. If I boot on with charger connected and later disconnect it is OK too.
Please, advice me what should I do.

what type of your laptop?
BIOS recovery way that has been updated failed
1. download bios start, then extract with winrar or winzip.
2. initials instead of one file (depending on the type of your laptop)
3. save the file by using the flash disc (which has been in the FAT format)
4. dis boot with a flash in the following manner:
      a. off laptop batteries
      b. jack flash disc
      c. Do not plug the power cable
      c. press tobol (window + B) hold, while plug the power cord and turn on the laptop
5. akn laptop turns on and lights will flash 2x flash disc, the laptop will be read and will die, and came back on, and die back, and terkhir restarts with BIOS recovery.
hopefully can help

Kernels 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 fail to boot with EFI stub

Been using rEFInd for some time now. Current installed version is 0.7.1. Kernels 3.10.5 and earlier would boot without incident. Yesterday I upgraded to 3.10.6 and boot failed. As a workaround, I copied the Liquorix kernel and initramfs from my Kubuntu partition; to my mild surprise, this worked. My next test was to install the 3.10.7 Zen kernel from heftig's repository. This kernel boots fine (I added a version number string to the name of the kernel image and the initramfs so that rEFInd would automatically match them). After that, I enabled Arch testing and updated the Arch kernel to 3.10.7; this also fails to boot just like the 3.10.6 kernel did.
I'm a fan of boot text, so I've configured rEFInd in text mode only. Here's my refind.conf, with almost no changes from defaults:
timeout 20
textonly 1
use_graphics_for
scan_all_linux_kernels
And my /boot/refind_linux.conf:
"Boot to X" "ro root=/dev/sda3 nox2apic nmi_watchdog=0 elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force raid=noautodetect systemd.unit=graphical.target"
"Boot to single user" "ro root=/dev/sda3 nox2apic nmi_watchdog=0 elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force raid=noautodetect systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

Steve, your picture is far too large for these forums. You are going to want to put it in some kind of a picture sharing/hosting site and link back to it. Otherwise it will end up disappeared (likely via black magic) from your post. I don't think that it provides any useful information anyway. If you want to post your kernel command line that is great. But posting a picture of a frozen screen with no output... doesn't really do much good.
Efistub has been a bit shaky since 3.6 actually. There is a monster thread about this already, the title of which references 3.6, but the content continues on through several kernel releases. Still people continually report this as being an issue. What I do is I keep a normal efi bootloader (one that doesn't rely on efistub) at the ready all the time. My choice was elilo, but since [testing] started including syslinux-efi in the syslinxu package, I have started using that... though I still have elilo set up.
Can you boot with efistub from the UEFI Shell or gummiboot? I prefer gummiboot, but I have had this problem in the past, and when I did, I was able to boot with rEFInd... which was strange. Some people even report that simply having a direct efibootmgr entry in their firmware causes it to magically work. Though there should be to reasonable explanation for this, it was confirmed by several people in the mentioned thread.

IBook G4 fails to boot with internal HD installed, works when removed

The short version: My iBook started failing to boot via any method (gray screen) and the boot menu (Option during startup) would freeze. Replaced HD, things were better. Six months into new HD, nearly the same symptoms appear again. Removed HD, now running off different HD via FireWire.
The long version–
Back in late 2008-12, my iBook started failing to boot up. Usually it would refuse to boot from any source. Booting the internal disk (10.4.11) would get to a gray screen without any logo and stay there. Holding down Option, the boot menu would come up, but it would usually freeze before it displayed any volumes. Booting from CD (AHT, or OS install disc) would fail in nearly the same way as booting from the internal drive. Target Disk Mode would start, but once the other machine tried to access the drive, the FireWire logo would stop moving and the drive would never show up on the other computer. Very rarely, the machine would get a bit further through one of the boot mechanisms, but it usually froze while booting or just after login.
This machine has gone through three logic boards in the past, so I suspected that was the problem again. I took it to a local Genius Bar and the Genius explained that it was probably the hard drive. He said that sometimes, depending on the way the drive fails, it can "take out" other parts of the system due to drawing too much current, etc.
I was a bit skeptical, but it was going to be much cheaper to replace the HD myself than it would be to send it in for a MLB replacement. So I ordered a new HD (80G) and a USB-to-ATA/SATA adapter. I hoped that I would be able to use the adapter to savlage a bit more data off the drive (it originally failed right before a backup!).
After extracting the HD (40G), I connected it to the USB adapter and was able to access the drive just fine. I used another machine to run another backup from the recently removed HD (40G) to one of my FireWire backup drives and proceeded to put the iBook back together with the new HD (80G).
Once it was all back together, the new HD worked fine. I was able to restore the recent backup from my FireWire drive to the internal, and it worked fine. The only oddity I noticed was that the new drive was apparently trying to sleep several times a minute. I used smartctl (installed via MacPorts) to adjust the power management setting on the drive, and that seemed to help. I also started running smartd (also via MacPorts) to better monitor the new drive.
Recently, a bit more than six months after the new HD was installed, the new HD started showing errors in the system.log. I never found any errors in the logs after the previous HD failed (even though I could look through the logs just fine with the drive attached through the ATA-USB adapter).

I did not notice the errors until the afternoon of the 7th when the problem became evident. The events around 13:00 happened when I was trying to run a backup. The first backup failed in an odd way (when I came back to check on it later that evening, SuperDuper! seemed to have quit running). So I restarted the backup and started looking around in the logs. That is when I noticed the kernel I/O error messages. When I asked smartctl to query the drive, it showed that many errors had been occurring and it displayed the drive's log of the last five or so errors (alas, I did not save this output). Meanwhile the re-run of SuperDuper! was having problems again. It seemed to have hung (no SDAgent or SDCopy processes were running, but the main UI was still there). Since the backup was not getting anywhere, I decided to shutdown for a while and try again later.
When I did try again later, I was back in the situation of six months ago. It would not boot at all (no internal, no FireWire, no CD/DVD, boot menu hangs, Target Disk Mode hangs). So, I opened up the system, removed the HD and put it back together without an internal HD. The machine is now able to boot and run from FireWire. Again, the (6 month old, 80G) HD "works fine" via the USB adapter. If SMART were available through the USB adapter, I could check to see if the drive is continuing to have problems. I used SuperDuper! to copy the HD to a volume on my FireWire drive which is how I an now running the system.
Has anyone had any similar problems? Any idea why my iBook seems to be killing/rejecting hard drives? (I say killing because, while the drive is connected internally, it certainly seems to be dying. I say rejecting because once the drive is out of the system, both the drive and the system seem to "recover".) I have read messages there where others report success having their iBook MLB resoldered ("reball"). Has anyone experienced substantially similar issues that were solved with a resolder repair?
Thanks!

I was able to test my “failing” ATA drives in a G4 Mac mini (I had to take the mini apart because its drive had finally failed). I was able to successfully boot the Mac mini with either of my iBook drives installed. Once booted, +Disk Utility+ said that each one's SMART Status was Verified. I used smartctl to pull the full SMART info while I had them installed in the Mac mini.
Since the drives were still “good”, I think this emphasizes that the problem is with the ATA interface on my iBook's logic board. Maybe it is broken, or maybe it just needs to be resoldered. For now I am happy just booting off an external Firewire drive.
BTW, I ended up installing the 6 month old 80G drive in the mini. It has been working OK for 10 days now. As long as it continues to operate normally in the mini, it will serve as evidence that my iBook's HD ATA controller is borked. I just hope the ATA controller is more capable of accepting its fallibility than was HAL.
There is a minor problem with the 80G in the mini in that I am unable to use hdapm to change the aggressive head unloading that the drive suffers. I was able to adjust it with hdapm while it was in my iBook. I am able to adjust it with hdparm under Linux on the mini. Luckily the change I made while booted in Linux "sticks" after rebooting back into Mac OS X (I hear it will be lost if the drive is completely powered off though).

OS9 bootable G4 mac fails to boot with NI-DAQ4.9

We're going to use the OS9 bootable G4 machine with NI-DAQ4.9 driver. However, after the installation of NI-DAQ4.9 the G4 machine failed to boot up(Pure OS9 boot. Not classical environment). The error message said that address error occurred when the NI-DAQ was loaded during the icon parade.
We installed the OS completely newly without any other softwares and installed the NI-DAQ4.9 driver. So it must be difficult to account for the problem by any conflict with other inappropriate softwares. Minimum set of system extension plus NI-DAQ also caused the same problem.
Now I doubt the problem caused by the conflict of new G4 with NI-DAQ4.9 because other hardwares work OK (Other G3 or older G4 machines).
If anybody ca
n post any idea or solution on this problem, we'll appreciate.
(*)We need to control PCI-DIO-96 board with our homemade C-program, so NI-DAQ 4.9 is required instead of NI-DAQ 6.
Machine: PowerMacintosh G4(Single1.25G4 Processor)-Latest OS9-bootable G4 machine
NI-DAQ:4.9.4

First, we will want to make sure that you have the latest NI-DAQ driver that still supports C program. That driver should be v4.9.4 and can be found from the link in the previous post (or here http://www.ni.com/support/daq/mac/macversn.htm).
After verifying this, I would try to restart the computer without your hardware installed to check if it is a hardware/NI-DAQ configuration issue or if you just had a bad install of the software. If it still does not work without the hardware than you can attempt to uninstall/reinstall NI-DAQ v4.9.4.
Finally, the problem may lie with in a conflict with the extensions on your MAC. If you are familiar with troubleshooing MACs, then you can disable all but the core extensions and see if you can get the computer up and running
that way. Below are a few KnowledgeBases that discuss some of these issues:

Laptop fails to boot.

Does this mean anything to any of you?
Anyone know how to get this hunk of junk working again?

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but after searching the forums, I find that this problem is almost identical to the issue I am facing. I have a T22 Thinkpad, on which I was hoping to install Archlinux. After reading the many positive reviews and exploring the wealth of documentation available, I was really looking forward to the Arch experience and education. It seems like a good match for this Laptop and a chance for me to expand away from the "point-and-click" distros that I have been using.
However, I find that I am having difficulty much sooner than I expected. The install CD stops booting at the same point every time, just as indicated in the first message of this thread. I have tried all manner of boot parameter codes as listed in the "Beginners Guide" without success. I have even attempted to modify IRQ assignments in the BIOS, and still no luck.
This problem seems to be prevalent among the IBM T2x series of Thinkpads, and it effects are not limited to Archlinux installation problems. Of the many Distros that I have tried, many will abort at this exact point in the CD boot process. Others will complete the install without issue. For example:
PClinuxOS 2007 (a 'known good' CD used to install on several machines) will not boot on the T22. It fails just as listed above. PCFluxboxOS (a minimalistic derivative of PClinuxOS) will consistently boot from the CD without problems.
If nothing else,this at least is indicative that there is a solution to this issue. I'm just not knowledgeable enough to sort it out.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

K8N Neo fails to boot with more than one DIMM

I have been searching the forums for a while now, and will continue, but I am really hoping for a quick resolution. My system was running fine for over a year with a pair of PC3200 512MB DIMMs. I normally leave my computer on all the time. Recently I updated my BIOS to 2.10, and the system performed a soft boot afterwards. Christmas Eve day I knew I was going to be gone the whole day and probably not need my computer until late on Christmas day. I received a very unpleasant surprise.
I attempted to boot the computer up, and I got nothing but a repeating single long beep. I did a lot of troubleshooting and discovered that the system will boot and run fine with ONE DIMM, either DIMM. My system will no longer boot with a second DIMM in either the 2 or 3 DIMM slots. This is a major bummer for me, please help.
I have not played around much with memory timings and such as of yet. It is quite a pain to put in a single DIMM, and boot the system to make a BIOS change then shut it down again and install the second DIMM to see if it works.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Scott

Go back to your previous BIOS.

My macbook pro (13 in, mid-2010) failed to boot with single beep. Reset PRAM, now it's working normally. Should I still be worried/take it in?

Okay so my mbp has had a couple minor freakouts lately, particularly while streaming video (the screen would turn one solid color and the only solution was to reboot) then today I opened my laptop and was in the process of entering my password when the screen shut off. The computer attempted to reboot, failed, told me there was a problem and it was trying again, and a bunch of weird text appeared over the gray boot screen. I turned it off, and when I tried to turn it back on again, it wouldn't boot and instead emitted a low beep once every 5 seconds accompanied by a flashing light on the front. I read that it was a RAM problem so I did the hold down P R command control (or something) and restarted it and now it's working normally.
But should I be worried? Should I still take it in? Is there some sort of memory diagnostic I should run?
Any help would be appreciated.

Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011")?
Oops! Should have read the header! There are no known issues affecting that particular model and I would only take it in for testing if it begins to exhibit similar problems again. You may have 'fixed' it with a NVRAM reset. But just be on the look-out for further glitches and, if they occur, then take the machine into your local Apple Store or AASP.

Laptop suddenly shuts down with battery at +60%

Hey guys,
So i had my laptop for a 6 month now, it is an MSI GT683DX Windows 8.1/Updated from Win 7 HP, but recently i did a battery calibration using the offical MSI software (it just charges and decharges the laptop)
But now, my laptop would just die randomly whenever it is off the charger.
The symptoms are:
When not plugged in, it would just die randomly. It won't do a proper shutdown/sleep/hibernate, it just goes black, as if you pull the power on a desktop.
About a month ago, the windows battery indicator would be a little off, sometimes it would show 15% left, where i would get a message indicating that it is at 15%. However, if i dont plug it in, it would suddenly show a message saying it has 2% left, and then just shut off immediatly. I have fixed this by setting the low and critical battery warnings higher, and didn't have a problem since.
So i think something is wrong with the windows battery meter, for example, the battery is actually empty and windows thinks it is at 80%. So can't finish properly calibration process it will just shut down and thinks that have 0% but I know that is fully charged and forced shut down at 60% or 70% ??
Is there a way to reset the windows battery stats? Or should i let the laptop totally run itself dead, by letting it shut off, powering on, and repeating this until it would not boot?
Any help appreciated

Hi, may I know your OS is MSI OEM WIN7 HP or it is a retail version?
Have you updated the drivers, BIOS, EC after upgrade to WIN8.1?
Also you can remove MSI SCM and check if the problem still exists.
A better way to judge it is battery hardware problem or OS problem is to recover the OS to MSI factory default and check again. I guess you haven't build any MSI OS recovery DVD before, so this way can't work. Then maybe you need the help of repair center.
Hi, thanks for help
So when I buy laptop it was WIN 7 Home Premium OEM and later I see some discount for Win 8 to upgrade machine..
Now using Win 8.1 and I don't think is OS problem, force shut down start to happening after I run MSI Battery Calibrate software.
Bios is not upgraded since win 7
Drivers and scm running fine all from Msi site as well
EC updated whit last version
So laptop running fine but it seems that I make mistake when I decided to run calibrate software due to max 5-10% error on battery counter..Now its 60% :-) I am afraid that my battery is dead...

MacBook Pro 15-inch Mid 2009 failed to boot with internal display

Hi all, we recently received a MBP 15-inch, this unit won't power up, upon power up, we can hear half boot chime and immediately the unit will power off.
We manage to get it booted by removing the internal LVDS connector. Video out to DVI and Dual-link DVi tested to work flawlessly. We've done ASD on it and the following are flag failed:

I wonder any of you faced similar issue? What was the diagnose result? Did you send to any out of warranty repair? Reflow? Re-chip?
We suspecting GPU failure, but then the unit is working totally fine switching from 9400M and 9600M no issue. Even pushing it with 30-inch external display now have yet to yield any performance issue. It's still a very good Mac with 2.8GHz and 8GB RAM. Any input to help on the recovery would be great.

These are user to user forums, your describing a serious hardware issue that needs to be serviced by Apple.
Good luck and I hope your issue gets resolved.

Windows 8.1 fails to boot with error code 0x5c after moving physical drives

Hi,
i just rearranged hard drives on my desktop PC. I removed 4 RAID drives, installed a single drive and reattached all drives into different SATA connectors on the motherboard.
After this, my PC doesn't boot. IT always fails with errorcode 0x5c. My OS is on SSD drive, which was not part of the RAID drive so it should boot up just fine - except it doesn't.
I've tried safe mode, I've tried starting with driver signature enforcement disabled - but it never does boot up properly.
What else do i do apart from reinstalling the OS?

Hi,
This error 0x5c indicates that the HAL initialization failed. A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer.
It seems that the issue can be cause by interface compatible. Please enter BIOS and change SATA to AHCI to see what’s going on.
Also, I suggest you arrange your 4 RAID drives back to original SATA connector and connect the new single drive to another to check the results.
Hope this could be helpful.

HP mini 110- 3500 laptop fails to boot after SSD upgrade

Hello,
I recently bought a "crucial 250gb 2.5 " SSD and 2gb RAM (also by crucial), to upgrade my HP mini 110-3500 laptop, which was exceedingly slow. But unfortunately, the laptop has refused to boot when powered on. What can I do? I am very worried.

You answered. That is what I thought. You have DDR3L-1600 low voltage 1.35 volts. Low voltage will run at the higher voltage (1.5 volts) but it is just not the ideal memory for the older hardware. You need DDR3-1333 memory as HP specified for the laptop. You can confirm or refute my diagnosis by putting in the old memory and see if she boots. This is the part mumber you need: 621567-001 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2GB-COMPAT-TO-621567-001-A3803335-A4100445-A4427375-/230655741975?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b4275017 Does your memory have 8 black blocks on the side or just 4? You want 8. Also if you have Windows 7 Starter you cannot use 2 gigs of RAM. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

Win7 x64 install fails at boot with alternating Mac and Cross-Circle Logo

Thanks for reading.
I have a new late 2009 i7 2.6Ghz Macbook (6.1 model) that I purchased in February this year. I'm having real problem trying to get a Windows 7 DVD to boot on it; whenever I try (either by using the bootcamp assistant to parition my drive then start the boot process, or by holding down the OPTION key, or even using the C key at boot) instead of the normal Windows 7 boot process, the disc spins, then I am left with an alternating Apple logo with a circle with a angled cross line through it, sometimes showing a folder with a ? mark.
I have tried resetting the PRAM, using other Windows 7 media, but I just can't seem to get a disk to boot. I have even tried wiping my Mac parition in case it was a corrupt partition by backing up to a timedesk then reinstalling, but again when I come to install Windows 7 I get the same problem.
I can boot the Mac OS install disks not problems.
Really appreciate if anybody has any guidance or resolutions?

Hi - no nothing plugged, except my external DVD drive.
I managed to install TechTool Pro's emergency EDRIVE from DVD, and have managed to reinstall Mac OS X without any problems, so unsure about a hardware problem. All TechTool tests come back ok, so no issues seem visible from that.
You might be thinking why I am using an external DVD; well this is because I've taken out the internal DVD using OWC Datadoubler http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/DDAMBS0GB/
I have a 512GB SSD in the normal hard drive space, and a 500Gb Hybrid disk where the DVD drive was. The drives are seen perfectly well in Max OSX; indeed when I did a reinstall I used the 2nd internal hard disk as the time machine and then restored from it.
Could it be a problem with partitions or some issue with the EFIboot from the Windows 7 DVD's? I've tried looking at rEFIit http://refit.sourceforge.net/ to see if that would help, but no luck.
The data doubler shows examples of this being used in my mac model for a specific Windows implementation (which is why I bought it) so don't think its that. Anybody have any ideas?
