M83 halt at starting windows -boot issue

Hi all,
We have an issue with some machines but not all when we install new M83 desktops. When booting the machines they stop booting at the "Starting Windows" splash screen. We have found that sometimes updating the display adpater driver resolves the issue or even the monitor driver (which is plug and play anyway). I have even once changed the BIOS video setup to the on board graphics from Automatic which worked.
We have also have the keyboard plugged into certain USB ports affects the boot up. Its a problem I am trying to find out the cause.
When we install the machine on site everything is working fine. The following day(s) the user will make contact to say there is a problem. The machines are built before we take to site so all is working and while the engineer is on site but it seems something is updating afterwards when the engineer leaves site.
I have a machine where I have yet to resolve this problem and also have more of the same issues from other mahcines we install.
If anyone has come across this issue or can offer advise I would be most grateful.
Thanks

HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 nor will it support the installation of Windows 7 on a Windows 8 computer. HP will not provide drivers and Windows 7 drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Additionally, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features for the computer.
You may wish to try "Start8" or other programs desgned to make Windows 8 look and feel more like Windows 7.
However, if you absolutely feel you must install Windows 7 on your computer, please post a list or photo of all the device in the Windows "Device Manager", including "HardwareID" infomation for our review.
Create the HP Recovery Discs before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS and save those changes.
Please send KUDOs

HERE GOES...
this entire system was running with a different brand mobo (just upgraded to this msi-7125) and was running great!!
however when i installed windows xp media center edition 2005, things where working great. that is until i installed the nforce system drivers from the disk that MSI provided me. once i installed the ethernet driver,ide-sw driver, network controller the ask me for a reboot after install was done, when the system restarted i got all the way the windows xp splash screen or loading screen. at that point windows stops loading stays on the loading screen for about 10 minutes, then the computer shuts off.
i have tried running memtest and had no errors, im positive that my psu is capable of handling my components.
i'm really stuck on this one, any help would great thanx again!!!

You should be able to get into Windows through safe mode. From here uninstall the drivers and restart. You should hopefully be able to get into Windows normally now. Get hold of the latest drivers from the Nvidia web site and try them.
Also check both Ethernet controllers are enabled in the BIOS.

[SOLVED]Arch Linux, and Windows 8.1 Dual Boot issue

Hi guys. I recently bought a new laptop, and decided to run Arch Linux and Windows 8.1. I installed Windows 8.1 first as recommended by the beginners guide, and then installed Arch Linux. I made sure UEFI was enabled in my BIOS, and made sure everything was on a GPT partition. The install itself went fine. My laptop loads grub, and Arch Linux shows up and boots, but there is no option to boot into Windows 8.1. The only way I can boot into Windows 8.1 is by accessing my motherboard, and choosing to launch the windows boot manager instead of the grub launcher. How can I get Windows 8.1 to show up in grub? Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah just ran this after installing os prober

Yeah I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol. I did not install OS-Prober. I think that's where the issue is. I'm missing the menu entry in grub.cfg right? Do I just run os prober or do I have to manually edit grub.cfg.
If that's not the case then here is what I did up until now. What I did was start with a blank SSD drive. I used cgdisk to make the disk use a GPT partitioning scheme. I installed windows 8.1 and checked in windows to make sure it boots into UEFI-GPT mode and it does. I then installed arch linux using the beginners guide. I made sure to use cgdisk to create any extra partitions, and installed GRUB to the efi partition that windows had created ( I did not format this partition ). I then finished the installation and rebooted, and Grub only shows arch linux. I don't think I'm dealing with anything MBR related. I made sure I used the GPT partitioning scheme....i think lol.
All you need to do is run os-prober then run grub-mkconfig. It should pick up Windows at that point.

Windows 8 Laptop Boot Issue (and other related problems)

My Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5148 laptop was bought about a month ago, but it's been giving me issues for the last week.
The most significant one was a boot issue, where out of nowhere, the PC would not start, and after a hard restart, I received an error message saying Windows was not able to start. So I called tech support and they guided me through a PC refresh. That seemed to have solved the issue until twenty minutes later, when my system froze and I could not move the cursor let alone use any applications. So I did a hard restart again, and tried to do another PC refresh until the laptop 'clicked' and shut off. I restarted again, and my system seemed to be working normally until two days later (I did not shut it off or restarted it during this period, only kept it in hibernate when not in use).
Upon trying to use my laptop, it said Windows was reconfiguring. Afterwards, I received an error message saying that Windows had to restart due to 'this problem,' though the problem was not specified. The error message included a list of file addresses that presumably contained a description of the problem, but I can't access the files because they don't show up when I search their addresses. They are .dmp and .xml files, respectively.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? I wish I could return the laptop but it's a couple of weeks shy of the return period (Staples has a measely 14-day return period, but I didn't think I'd have to use it). I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it off to Toshiba for repairs. Would reformatting the laptop solve the problem? I wish I could attach the .dmp and .xml files to this post but I can't locate them. I'd try using the recovery disks, but they were recently destroyed in a flood.
Any comments, advice, and/or suggestions are very much welcome!

Happy to learn the hardware is fixed.
I was told they could not do so without the product key. ... Any ideas as to how I can get my product key?
Everybody should know by now that there is no product key for preinstalled Windows. The OEM has it locked into the motherboard.
As I've said over and over, recovery media will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Windows will be activated.
Windows is not installed during this process. Everything on the hard drive is restored. It's an important distinction.

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp

I can't start windows 7 normally from Boot Camp.
It was running fine since I have installed it 7 months ago, but now it can't start or (restart) normally (safe mode is ok). It displays a black screen after showing the logo, and I have to shut down the machine. My Mac system is working fine. Mac technician (Genius Bar) has run a surface scan to verify hd integrity and proofed ok, but could not give any advice on Windows issues.
Please advice if anything I should do before cleaning up my partition and reinstall Windows.

I would guess and sorry for asking but you already tried booting from Windows 7 DVD and doing auto repair?
There are dozens of things to look at and do, and begin with chkdsk in Windows, yes but that only looks at one aspect. You can't really check for bad sectors on a drive's sectors. The best? to use the drive vendor's own utility actually, often with a linux boot CD or Windows program (they don't make Mac OS versions, one reason I first installed Vista over 5 yrs ago)
Restore check points
Uninstall last update or driver
Clean the system of debris temp files, caches, registry errors, fonts and left overs
make sure you have 20% and 12GB free space or more
A hard shutdown can create more problems.

E9280t boots to Starting Windows and then monitor loses signal

PC just arrived last night and is giving me fits. Upon boot it will proceed to the Starting Windows and then the monitor goes black and I get a No Input Signal message. I can hear the Windows startup sounds but it will never go any farther.
I can furiously click to put the system to sleep and after it goes into sleep mode I can power the system off and back on and it will boot to Resuming Windows and then work fine. However the next time I reboot the system it goes back to the Starting Windows issue.
Help please of this thing is going back to HP in pieces.
Video Card is ATI 4850 1GB
Motherboard bios version is 5.24

Thanks for the reply, but sadly I've already been there and done that. and couldn't get into windows that way at all. In the process of updating the ATI drivers to see if that helps.....

Windows 7 start up boot manager problem

I am using inbuilt Windows 7 ( 64 bit , Home Basic ) on my Sony VAIO laptop . For last few days , i am having a very annoying problem during the start up .
Every time i start my laptop , very soon after the VAIO logo appears , the boot manger prompt appears having "Windows 7" option selected and within fraction of a second it disappears and keep coming till i keep on pressing the ENTER button to start
the OS . I am only using the Windows 7 OS on the system . To get rid rid of it i tried few options suggested on websites - i changed the BIOS settings , in 'msconfig' tried some alternative options in the boot tab and finally i also formatted my
laptop but could not get rid of the issue . Please help me out with this issue .
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hello,
my problem is similar but all sollutions offered are not working for me.
The problem: the bootmanager appears showing available OS and gives the chance to select. I can chose and the spezified OS starts. I also can make the selected OS starting with no timeout (so, no chance to select anything). But everything I tryed to make the
timeout counting back form soemting inbetween 3 and 999 seconds to cero failed. There is just no timeout.
I tryed to configure timeout via (a) *control panel* > *system & security* > *system* > *advanced system settings* > *advanced* next to *startup & recovery*, then (b) I tryed *msconfig* > *start*, the (c) I tryed to use EasyBCD - but
all, nothing helps me to bring the timeout to work.
What I see when I run bcdedit.exe, the timeout is set propperly (see below) - but sill, it is not working while booting - I have to select the OS manually.
Anybody having an idea, what to do to bring the timeout up and working?
Thx for your help!

EDIT:
I found a solution by myself:
(1) via boot-repair I re-installed grub
(2) via Windows 7 install-disc I re-installed the Windows bootloader (went into sysrepair tools -> via console with "bootrec /fixmbr" and then "bootrec /fixboot")
(3) than, back in Windows 7, I used EasyBCD 2.2 community edition, I deleted the old entry for Linux and added a new one pointing to the right place for grub
(4) finaly, I went into Windows 7 systemsettings to set timeout to 3 second (what was impossible to be done by EasyBCD for whatever reason)
Now it works fine - both OS can be started and the timeout is working again.

After restore windows boot manager says windows failed to start. CQ57 notebook

Had a problem with the FBI scareware. Took it to a cmputer repair place. They wanted $250 to fix it and now it won't boot up at all. It did the HP system restore but when it rebooted the Windows Boot Manager says "Windows failed to start". It wants an installation disc. THen :
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
Is it trying to boot from the wrong partition?

Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hdd.

When starting Windows 7 Sync Notifier reports "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll." Any suggestions as to how to rectify this issue?

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

I've installed windows in boot camp, how do i start windows

I've Installed windows xp prof. with boot camp and now I'm not sure how to start windows.

A successfully install should have booted directly to windows. If not restart and hold down the option key and select the windows partition to boot from that.
Also make sure to insert your leopard disc to install all the drivers as well as the bootcamp utility to switch from one OS to the other.

Help! How to start windows in boot camp?

I have read several posts on this but I still cannot seem to get it started. I recently bought a macbook with bootcamp set up with windows xp. I had vmware fusion on my computer to use windows but I uninstalled it because I cannot use it for the purpose of windows that I need. Now, I do not know how to start windows on my computer. I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD. The boot camp drive does not show up. So, if I cannot start windows that way...is there any other way???
THANKS!

I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
It requires DirectX 9? Huh?
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD.
That sounds like your computer came with VM Fusion, and was not set up with boot camp. Please prove me wrong.
First, how many disk icons are on your Mac OS desktop? Is there just the Macintosh HD icon, or is there another disk icon labelled, say, "Untitled" or "Boot Camp".
Second, open /Applications/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (not the Macintosh HD volume, but the actual hard drive, just above the Macintosh HD volume). Then click the "partition tab". How many partitions do you have. Does it show one HFS+ Journaled volume, or more than one partition and of what types.
Third, if you did see a second disk icon in step one, select it and hit CMD-I. What is its used and free space? Open it in Finder: is there a boot.ini file? A Windows folder?
Fourth--I should have thought of this first, sorry--some MacBooks have a bug that Option doesn't let you select an OS. So open Apple > System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if there is a Windows there for you to select. If so, select it and "reboot now" to boot into Windows. To boot back into Mac OS, you can either use the option key, or use the boot camp system tray icon to select Mac OS as your startup disk.
Finally, did your computer come with a Windows XP CD?

How to stop Oracle 10g DB automatically start up when Windows boots/reboots

With Oracle 9i, I could set Oracle DB manually start so it would not start when Windows OS was booted/rebooted. This was done through setting Control Panel -> Admin tools -> Services -> Oracle9iMyDB's Startup type to "Manual".
Now I have 10g installed, same setting does not prevent 10g DB start up at Windows boots.
I have Windows 2000 now for 10g and past for 9i.
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
