Lenovo E531 failing to boot after it crashed during a Windows 10 update.

Hello guys, A few weeks back I signed up for the Windows 10 insider program and installed the windows 10 ISO without any problems. Of course there were the usual bugs that you get when working with a non-final build of a new OS, but that's not the problem here. A few days ago I received a new update, and after it was done downloading it prompted me to upgrade to the new version, which I complied to. Halfway the installation I suddenly get the " Oops, something went wrong, we're collecting information and rebooting your pc" pop-up screen. The error had something to do with installing a driver. After it rebooted I just stared at a black screen. Since then I'm not able to boot into windows anymore. Bascially what happens is when i boot, i get the usual bios screen and the Lenovo splash screen. But followed by a black screen with absolute no information. Apart from one single '-' .When pressing 'enter' I hear a beep, and the "boot interruption" screen pops up with various options. Like booting into the Bios to change settings, and to temporarily chose a different boot device. Getting into the Bios settings is no problem, and i can change anything (I resetted the settings to default just to be sure, which didnt do anything). But as soon as I try to chose a different boot device, I get the same black screen. So I am not able to boot my windows 10 Preview installation DVD. I even tried booting without the HDD installed, which gave me the same screen again. I did all the diagnostics test from the lenovo diagnostics screen, which all resulted in no problems found. It recognizes the HDD, and the DVD when i get the Bios splash screen. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I tried updating the BIOS by running the .exe on a different pc and burn the BIOS the a CD, and even tried a USB.The thing is that when i want to boot from a CD or USB. I never get the option to do so. Always a black screen. I've contacted Lenovo support via phone and they told me that I had to buy a recovery disc from https://www.lenovorecovery.com. Which I did. The person on the telephone even told me that it didnt matter what the boot order was, This recovery disc would instantly boot. After i received these discs and tried to boot from them, it didn't work. Just as every other bootable DVD/USB I tried.See below for a pic from my laptop screen. Now I don't see any other option other than sending it to a repairshop to get the bios chip replaced... Any ideas? Thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdln9jnysc8vmas/2015-08-10%2013.49.26.jpg?dl=0

IMac won't boot after power failure during 10.5.6 update

Help!
Tried to update last night and at something like 80% install, we had a power cut. iMac won't boot at all now - get to a grey screen which tells me to restart. Don't have a wired keyboard. If I did - what are the steps to get this working again.
I believe I have a good backup, but don't want to risk as all the family photos are on the iMac.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help, but can't even get to a screen where I could type anything! I know I'm being dumb here.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing. I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update. She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day . She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning. I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive. She took it to the Apple store. Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive. It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion). Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running. Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out. She'll be restoring everything tonight. Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

Restored 10.6 OS from CD and fails to Boot after Combo upgrade

I have a clean install of Lion on my internal drive and an external clone of the HD from the previous Snow Leopard install. The Clone worked until I updated via the latest auto update. I have App's and other settings to transfer to Lion from this clone so want to get it working so I can ensure all the App's are upgraded to work on Lion or are deleted.
After the external drive failed to boot I reinstalled the system from my Snow Leopard Install CD, not the 24-inch iMac (Mid 2007) restore CD.
I then used Auto updater to install the combo and other updates to 10.6.8 this booted fine until I upgraded Safari 5.1 and Java - the last items that came up on the software updater. Upon restart, the boot failed in the last portion of the boot and at this point the Apple emblem went away and the round circle with diaginoal line apeared.
On starting with the option key down, the clone disk 10.6.8 shows as being available, along with the internal Drive, for booting.
Starting with "command + S" gets through to the last line of the process then states "waiting on Root"
When compaired to a Snow OS that boots OK it is the last line of code before the curser is ready for entering a command.
Can anyone tell me what to look for or how to repair this error so that I can get my data across to Lion. Thanks

Well, in case anyone else has a similar problem I managed to fix the system by the following process:
I reinstalled 10.6.0 from the retail Snow Leopard CD. The drive Booted OK but I needed to be upgraded to 10.6.8 to use the migration tool so I then upgraded using the Software Update utility. Boot failed again at this point and could not be fixed by anything I did.
I then reinstalled 10.6.0 from the CD to try again, but the HD would not boot this time around.
I downloaded CleanApp by Synium Software (http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/) on a commendation from the famous eBook, "Take Control of installing Lion" by Joe Kissell of TidBits. I used this from my Lion HD to remove all orphan files, PPC files and Apps, and other junk. Snow Leapard still not Booting after repairs by various disk repair utilities including Apples.
I Booted from my internal HD using Lion and ran SuperDuper to make a new Clone of the failed HD on a second external HD. Took a day and a night to run while I was at work, but the new clone would not boot at this stage so I ran SuperDuper again using the "Smart Update Backup" option. This just adds changed files or missing files to the clone. At the end of this process I had a running Clone that would boot on 10.6.0.
I Booted from the second Clone and used the Software Update utility then to up grade in the two stages the Auto system used to bring my OS up to 10.6.8. This was successful and I had a Bootable Snow Leopard with no old Apps from which to Migrate my data.

Arch fails to boot after installation (BIOS mode)

I finished my Arch installation, following the Beginner's Guide, and once I unmounted the partitions and rebooted, GRUB failed to boot into Arch. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is though. Basically what happens is I power on the machine, the Dell splash screen comes up, GRUB loads, I choose
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel
the kernel and ramdisk attempt to load, then some message about "recovering journal" appears, and then I return back to the Dell splash screen. The same thing happens even if I choose the second option
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel (Fallback initramfs)
However, when I choose to boot Win XP everything boots just fine. My apologies for the quality of the videos and pictures.
Here's a video of what happens:
http://youtu.be/uC96kX6iTjI
I suspect this has to do with this error I got when I generated the "grub.cfg". Although I'm not entirely sure because my understanding is that this error would affect booting Win XP which in fact boots perfectly fine.
Error (and no I'm not using any lvm volumes)
http://imgur.com/qqxpoGG
I believe these are the portions of the "grub.cfg" that load Arch and Win XP. I got these by pressing "e" while on their menu entry in the GRUB bootloader.
Arch (I had to scroll down to see the rest, hence two pictures)

Any idea how I can fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated and please be patient, I know, I'm a noob.
* I'm not sure if this is of any significance but I had a problem very similar to this when trying to get the Arch install to boot via usb (this computer doesn't have CD/DVD drive). I solved it by following this excerpt from the Beginner's Guide.
Troubleshooting boot problems
If you are using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with Kernel Mode Setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing
e
over the entry that you are trying to boot (i686 or x86_64). At the end of the string type
nomodeset
and press
Enter
Here's a video of what it looked like:
http://youtu.be/vXRcbU0zdto
The computer specs:
OS: Windows XP Professional 32 bit Version 2002 Service Pack 3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.00 GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
HDD: 80 GB

Hi,
why did you not try adding nomodeset with the regular boot? During the net-install no video drivers will be installed;
you have to install them after reboot after installing xorg. The (video)problem you had with booting from usb is still
present.

Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

Hi,
This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options.
I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times.
Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options.
Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed
Case #9026SN6
Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.
Solved!

sometimes it is safer to do the bios update outside of windows environment.
NEVER use the .EXE method for a BIOS update. Always use the .ISO and the CD/DVD boot method. Never update after the warranty expires.

Please help: fail to recover after system crash

Hi all,
I tried to start our directory server after system crash due to hardware failure. Error log shows:
[17/Apr/2010:01:35:15 +0800] - WARNING<20488> - Backend Database - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database.
However, the recover process seems never ends (I waited overnight...). While CPU usage of ns-slapd grows continuously, the server has no response (e.g. ldapsearch waits forever). I make copies of db before starting ns-slapd and thus I tried several attempts:
1. start as it is.
2. remove db/log* and start
3. remove db/log* and db/__db* and start
4. remove db/* except db/NetscapeRoot and start
All attempts have the same result - recovery goes on continuously.
Then I tried to remove db/* and run restoreconfig with an old configuration backup. Then ns-slapd can be started. However, when I do ldapsearch testing:
ldapsearch -h localhost -v -D"cn=directory manager" -b "" -s base objectclass= namingContexts
ldap_init( localhost, 389 )
Bind Password:
ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
I'm sure the password is correct, and also tried modifying nsslapd-rootpw in config/dse.ldif and corresponding userPassword in configuration file created by saveconfig before restoreconfig.
Again, all attempts have the same result - invalid credentials. I can see BIND cn=directory manager attempts in logs/access, but also see following line in logs/errors:
[17/Apr/2010:21:59:08 +0800] - INFORMATION - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - get_entry: entry cn=directory manager not found (error 32)
I'd like to know:
* if there any other method to make recovery process complete successfully?
* if there is anything missed/wrong in the restoreconfig process?
I tried several days but can't make it. Would anyone please help?
Sorry that we're still using old versions 5.2 patch 5 on Solaris 5.9 on v440 machines...
Thank you very much.
/ST Wong ([email protected])

I hope you have a export of LDAP data backup in LDIF format, if so, please stop the instance and remove all the files from your db directory which includes .db3 and log.* and __db* and then do a ldif2db.
Once import is complete, start the slapd process.

Windows 8.1 won't boot after VS 2013 express for windows (metro) installation

I have purchased HP Pavilion e115sm with AMD A-10 processor and 12GB of RAM notebook, installed windows 8.1 on it, i updated windows with "windows update" and installed all drivers needed. After that, i have tried to install VS 2013 express
for windows (metro). VS installation asked to restart windows after, so that some updates or whatever can be installed.
After restart, i just got windows logo with dots rotating and got stuck on that for several hours.
I turned it of after several hours, delete all partitions on disk, recreated them again and reinstalled windows with all updates. I tried to install VS again, but got same "logo screen" with rotating dots again for several hours...
Can someone help me with this?

IPad Air 2 crashes during 8.1.3 update.

My iPad Air 2 keeps crashing and I can't get on it after I have done the update for 8.3. For example, I have done the update and on iTunes it says I have, but when it comes to re-starting the iPad and going through the settings you have to after you have done an update and re-logging in with iCloud it crashes and doesn't work. It starts saying it is doing the update gets halfway through then stops, I then login and get to the apple home screen where my apps are and it crashes and starts doing the update again. This means I am just stuck on the Hello page where i fill my details in.
Any advise would be great.

jimtownrc,
Resetting a device will not erase data. A "restore" however, is the process of deleteting everything and taking the device back to factory settings.
Here is an article that will explain how to update using a computer:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Update your device using iTunes
If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Plug in your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device.
In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
Click Download and Update.
If you don't have enough free space to update using iTunes, you'll need to delete content manually from your device.

Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
a recovery disk and run:
dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending:
kb2982378
kb2978742
kb2977629
kb2976897
kb2973112
kb2972211
There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:

G41 Fails to boot after updating BIOS

I hope that somebody has some suggestions, and thank you in advance.
I am helping out a friend who has inherited a 2881-22U. I have managed to successfully upgrade to an 120GB HD and copy the Recovery partition to the drive. (Hey, you use what you can in education). I have gone through the reinstall process successfully several times, and have worked for two weeks with several test WinXP loads so I know that the system works properly.
In checking the support website, of course, I noticed that there was a BIOS update (1XET57WW) and so I did the 1xuj15us.exe non-diskette update. It successfully completed and then rebooted automatically. Windows then failed to load - it hangs during the load process. With trying to boot in Safe Mode & with logging, it would appear that the system hangs after loading drivers\mup.sys (normal configuration) or drivers\agpcpq.sys (safe mode).
If I press the Access IBM button, the recovery partition (IBM Rescue and Recovery) software runs OK, and when if I select "Restore factory contents", it properly completes the format & copy, reboots, does the first automated batch file sequence, reboots and then hangs (at the same place as described above, never getting to SysPrep).
If I put the original 30GB drive back in, it also fails loading Windows XP at the same spot, now that the BIOS has changed.
The system was previously upgraded to 1GB years ago. The system was purchased in January 2005. The hardware diagnostics pass OK.
Thoughts on what's wrong and possible remedies:
Is there some BIOS setting that got changed that I am not understanding?
Is the BIOS update somehow bad (even though the recovery partition software runs OK)?
Was the recovery partition image upgraded as well when the BIOS was updated? If so, what is the specific part number to get the revised image?
Is there some way I can get a BIOS image rollback to an older version?
Thanks for any responses.
Solved!

Solved the problem:
Got the 1xuj15ud.exe diskette BIOS update and got it transferred to a USB flash drive (kind of hard to use a diskette when the system does not have a floppy drive).
Did the update. Reset the BIOS settings again. Voilà, Windows starts loading again.
Why I needed to reflash again, I dunno... Didn't have any sort of error message after the first flash. Certainly wasn't resetting the BIOS settings to default - already did that the first time around.

New HP HDD load recovery disks fails to boot after install process on pressing continue

I have Pavilion d7-4165dx notebook. I live out US, though made purchase from US (BestBuy).
- HDD failed after renewing trial period of virus software.
- All diagnostics would not recognize HDD.
- HP support indicated still in warranty, but I am out of country. HP indicated most likely issue was HDD cable.
- Purchase cables and had someone hand carry out of US.
- Installed, still same response.
- Ordered new HDD from HP. Backordered. Finally on inquiring was directed to a US 3rd part rep. He recommended buying directly from outlet, but a higher speed. Did that and then HP replacement HDD arrives. Hand carry both out of US.
- Install faster (slightly smaller) Seagate 500G 7200. Started recovery with recovery disks (5 total that received from BestBuy, but not OEM looking), but is squawked as new HDD is smaller than original WD 640G 5400. Put WD into #1 bay and Seagate into #2.
- Start recovery disk process. Go through entire recovery from factory process and on last disk, it says to not touch while PC boots on and off, etc. Then says press Continue to continue.
- When press continue, simply goes to black screen with "No boot device..."
- Run other options, same message.
- Ran diagnostics. HDD all OK.
- Called HP support. He indicates I need to buy the HP recovery disks. The ones I have (5) are not the right one, that there should only be 3! They are as I received from BestBuy, but look like they were made there when BestBuy sets up the PC.
Any suggestions anyone?

Sorry, I don't have an answer, but rather a similar issue. I replaced a 320Gb - 5400 rpm drive that failed with a 750Gb - 7200 rpm drive and even though I have the factory restore disks, it won't recognize the hard drive and I too get the "No Boot device" message. Unfortunately, the BIOS is not the best and it won't allow me to see if it actually recognizes the new hdd, which I suspect it doesn't. Either that or I have a bad MB.
Sytem information - HP G71-340US
Processor - 2.20 GHz Intel Core2 Duo Processor T6600
BIOS - InsydeH20 3.5
Recovery manager *appears* to be installing W7 just fine, but it's a no go when it's time to actually boot to it. Is this a mb issue or did I just buy the wrong hd?

P67A GD55 Windows fails to boot after flashing

Hi!
Tried to update my bios today using Live Update 5. Everything went according to plan until it was time to reboot after the succesful flashing. It started booting and everything was fine. The windows loading screen appears but then i get a message that something is wrong and it tries to repair it. Of course this fails and i've also tried to do a system repair using a back up.
I'm running windows 8 64-bit.
Got a Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz cpu.
The old bios was from 2010 something.
I cannot get into the bios either when pressing f8 or del.
Any help is appreciated.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Try to re-flash to 1C, make sure to use the forum flash tool. You will need to install the tool on another computer and use that computer to prepare the flash drive.
Then try to boot from the flash drive.
1 min just in case I am going to attached special archive. Make sure that is your board.
Use option 1 of the forum flash tool and point it at the attached archive. This will flash you ME version as well if needed.
That is my board. Can i use that forum flash tool on a mac? I only have mac computers in my house except for my gaming rig.
Edit. I read in the thread you can only use it on Windows systems. Guess i will have to wait until tomorrow and borrow a Windows computer. Is there a chance the whole Motherboard is garbage now?
