My laptop won't boot Windows

I have a Toshiba satellite P755-s5265 Windows 7. It's been acting strange for the last couple of months especially whenever I had a USB mouse or was using Chrome.  By strange I mean the mouse cursor will jump or stick and sometimes it would run slow even if the CPU usage and RAM were really low. One time, about a month ago, the whole system crashed and I got a blue screen. I restarted it and it started fine. I uppdated my drivers and switched to a different USB mouse. Everything was working fine until Saturday. On Saturday, it started doing the same thing again then crashed again. When I tried to restart it wouldn't start. I've tried everything to get it it restart including safe mode etc. Nothing has worked. 
I got some advice to save my files before resetting it. I loaded ubuntu (for the purpose of saving my files) from a disk and it runs ubuntu with no problems. I can even connect to the intenet. I haven't been able to save my files but that just comes with my lack of knowledgde of ubuntu I guess. But, it still won't run Windows. I've tried to load it from the Windows restore disks and it won't load. I read somewhere that they had to be "bootable" but I don't really know how to do that. I tried to make a bootable disk with IMGBurn but I don't which files to use or how to do it. 
Right now, if I try to start it, I get a blank black screen with nothing visible except the cursor. 
I've tried every option under F8 and get either the same black screen or a black screen that says "BOOTMGR missing" 
I've tried the HDD recovery command under F12 and get the same blank screen. 
I think I've switched every optiom on the Bios menu and gotten no real change. 
If I hold down the 0 button I get  "BOOTMGR missing" 
I would be fine with resetting the laptop if it would just work. There isn't really anything THAT important on there. I just need it to work and I can't use ubuntu for what I need it for.

  • Windows HP laptop won't boot Windows - possible hard disk failure!

    Hi there!
    A month ago my HP Pavilion dv6-6b57sa completely froze mid-use, and was unable to move the mouse or get any sort of response.
    Naturally I held the power button to hard shutdown and restarted. Ever since then I have been unable to boot Windows 7 (the original OS) properly, and all I could get to was a Startup repair which took days to try to fix the issues, eventually coming up with a message saying it was unable to fix the errors.
    Today I decided to ditch the data I had stored and do a fresh install - using the HP wizard by pressing F11 on boot and using a newly created USB Windows 7 install drive. After getting to the point of install process of Windows just loading the files, after choosing a hard drive partition successfully etc. the installation quit, citing a number of issues (screenshots link are below).
    So I then try to restart the computer, and get a 'SMART Hard disk error' (screenshot link below) and when I select continue startup from there, it says Windows failed to start (screenshot link below) and then leads to me to the Startup repair manager again - which fails again - (screenshot link also below!)
    So after doing a hard drive test, it says it has failed (screenshot link also below).
    So what can I do? Is there a serious hardware related issue linked with the hard drive (which is bound to cost lots of £££ I bet), or are there further steps I can take?

  • Laptop won't boot, windows 8

    Hello,I'm having a problem with my HP pavilion g6 1320ex, running both windows 8 and 8.1 pro 64 bitUsually, after the windows 8 loading screen appears, I choose an operating system to boot from (windows 8 or 8.1)But now, when I turn on the laptop, It makes 2 beeps twice, and after the win8 loading screen, a black screen appears and I can't do anything.I've already tried pressing esc to enter bios, f2, shift+f8, disconnected all devices, removed the battery, entered a booting DVD. Nothing worked. Help pleaseWhat can be the problem? And how can I get it to boot?

    Hi,if the beep code is two beeps with a break inbetween and then another two beeps, then this means that your RAM is not detected. To fix this, re-seat your RAM or bring it into an HP affiliated service center to have them do this for you.The instructions on how to do this for your particular computer are in your maintence manual, which should have been in the box that your computer shipped with.

    laptop won't boot, will not do a windows repair, received a hdd error 0303.

    Hi,
    The error code is a short Disk Self Test failure and would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.  This is also consistent with the start-up issue.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook - see Here for a further explanation.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • HP laptop won't boot at all

    My one and half year old Hp 2000 laptop won't boot at all. When I press the power button, it doesn't show any sign of life at all.
    I have tried Hard test several times yet it didn't fix it.
    Battery charges, power adapter working.
    I have also tried to boot using the AC adapter alone yet my precious laptop isn't showing any sign of life.
    Please how do I fix this? I need to do my assignment and prepare for my exams, and I can't afford a new laptop. Not when the current laptop is pretty new.
    Please help me HP support.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Chichiiii ,
    Thank You for your inquiry.
    I understand that when you power on your notebook it is unresponsive.  You did state that the AC adapter is working and the battery is charging.
    Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8), which has multiple links to help you determine the issue.
    Good Luck!

  • UEFI-only Won't Boot Windows Installation DVD

    As you can see from my topic subject, my W520 laptop won't boot from my Windows 7 Installation DVD when it is set to UEFI-only mode. I don't get any errors or anything, the screen just goes black for a second and returns to the Boot Menu, when I select the DVD drive. For what it's worth, my hard drive is already GPT partitioned, and I need to repair the installation.
    Before I ask for help, I just want to mention that I created this particular Windows 7 Installation DVD using the All-in-One tutorial so that I could have 32-bit and 64-bit options all on the same disc. The disc booted fine in "Legacy/UEFI" boot mode, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone have insight into this?
    EDIT: I've been following this tutorial: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=186440 and am at Step 14.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The UEFI/BIOS is the first thing I updated on the computer, so mine's 1.22. I wish it were that easy, though Could 1.22 have re-introduced the problem?
    EDIT: Holy smokes! There's another version of the UEFI-BIOS already Unfortunately, my hard drive is stuck in limbo! It's now partitioned in GPT and needs to be repaired. I'll use the bootable BIOS cd and report back if the new version works

  • Laptop won't boot beyond the screen showing "Tobshiba leading innovation"

    I installed an antivirus recently and in its scan some viruses were found. Those viruses were deleted and now my laptop wont boot into windows. It just stays where "toshiba" logo is displayed. My laptop is running on windows 8.1. I have a recovery DVD, but the laptop won't boot from the DVD either. Is there a way to get my laptop to boot windows without doing a factory reset. Please help!!

  • Laptop won't boot; Black screen w/moveable cursor

    Satellite A305-S6905
    Current Situation:  Laptop won’t boot-up; black screen with moveable mouse cursor, HHD indicator actively flashing.
    I was attempting to upgrade from Vista to Win7-32bit-Ultimate.  Kept receiving error messages regarding non-compatible files.  Next the computer would not recognize the Multi-Drive (did not appear on the My Computer screen.  Now all I get is the black screen.  How can I restore?

    BTW, to reboot this PC (Windows 7), all you need to do is pres ctr+alt+delete at the black screen, and it will do just that. But if you disconnected all usb drives, then you cannot use this shortcut. You need to just shut it down with the power button.

  • Laptop won't boot 10

    So my Asus laptop won't boot up Windows 10 and I've tried to "Refresh" it but it won't work. It worked once after I installed it but I couldn't even access the App Store. Help!

    Hi,
    What is your current situation?
    If Windows 10 has low performance on your laptop, you may take a check at the system requirements :

    You may alos contact the manufacturer and see if they could offer any further help.
    For the current situation, you may consider install Windows 10 using Virtual Machine:

  • Pavilion G2-b27SA Laptop Won't Boot - Fan Whirs and Hard Disk Light Comes On but Nothing Else

    Hi
    My Pavilion G2-b27SA laptop won't boot. The fan whirs, the hard disk and wirless lights come on but nothing happens on-screen and the fan goes quiet after a couple of seconds (to a low whir).
    I've gone through and tried the solutions in this thread - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g​-Windows-8/Laptop-will-not-turn-on/td-p/102825 - with no luck. Specifically, I've tried a hard reset and hitting F10 when the laptop tries to boot. Neither has had any effect.
    Is there anything else I can try to get the computer working again? If I take it to a laptop repair shop (I'm out of warranty) will they be able to do anything, or is it effectively dead now? 
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The laptop can always be fixed if you have a bottomless wallet. On a no-start with flashing lights it is likely the motherboard and a motherboard replacement if you have the shop buy the board and bill you for labor will be about $300 give or take 25%. Before we give up, it could be bad memory or a few other less expensive things. Assuming they do not charge too much just to diagnose it; take it to the shop.

    Hi Willrobb1,
    I understand your computer will not boot up. Restart your computer and keep press F9 to open the "Boot Menu" or "Boot Device Options". Press Enter to continue.
    Here is a document on system restore if you need it. You can restore it to a previous point when it was working correctly.

  • Help! Laptop won't boot past MSI logo

    Please help.
    My MSI GT60 laptop won't boot past the MSI logo.
    I also can't access the BIOS.

    Please help.
    My MSI GT60 laptop won't boot past the MSI logo.
    I also can't access the BIOS.
    so your laptop freezes at MSI logo and if you spam or press DELETE button few times on boot do you then only get "-" line? if so then either it's bios has hanged itself so if your able to access cmos battery from back area where you can access hard drive, ram and such then disconnect cmos battery leave it disconnected for 15 mins also make sure ac and battery is disconnected to once done put cmos battery back and then actuall battery and try with starting the laptop and see if it passes by MSI logo if it hangs again at MSI logo then spam Delete and see if you can enter bios but if bios throws an black screen with "-" again then you would have to RMA your laptop since it sems something is wrong with your motherboard causing bios not wanting to work propertly.

  • Laptop won't boot in windows with lan enabled in BIOS

    Hi,
    Toshiba A200-AH3. Windows 7. 
    So at one point it stopped loading windows 7, it would load until this point (loading screen for windows 7). So, I reinstalled Windows 7 (once format). Twice. It still didn't work. So, somebody gave me the idea to disable everything in bios, which I did. And then it worked. So I went back and just enabled the 2nd CPU in bios and that's about it. A few days ago I needed to connect the lan and I went to bios and enabled lan. Guess what, it would stop at the loading screen just like before.
    Safe mode does not work either. 
    With lan turned off in bios, I went to Toshiba.ca and installed the Realtek-Network-Driver6.189.1213.2006 for Windows Vista (as they say this should work on win7 too). Enabled lan and it still didn't boot windows. 
    What are my options?

    I would need to make the Lan work.
    You can obtain an ExpressCard for the LAN. Here are a few at NewEgg.
    how do I flash the bios.
    I'm assuming you have 32-bit Windows. This should work in Windows 7 as well.
