On start up, my laptop freezes on configurin​g updates and reboots

On start up, my laptop freezes on configuring updates and reboots. It doesn't even let me put in my password. It automatically reboots and keeps doing tyhe same thing over and over again.... I need help!!!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It is normal for configuring updates to takee a while, appear to be froen, and reboot a few times depending on how many windows updates there were.  If it is still doing so, there may have been a bad update causing your computer to act this way.  Were they Windows Updates or some program you just installed?
What is the make and model of your computer and version of Windows you are using.
If need be, did you create recovery disks when you got the computer?
Perform hard disk diagnostics through the BIOS and advise.

  • I had itunes on my Dell laptop, i downloaded an apple update and now error message 126

    I had itunes on my Dell laptop, i downloaded an apple update and now I get error message widows 126 and error message MSVCR80.dll. Help please.

    Hi Gabriel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are receiving errors in Windows after updating iTunes, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling the software using the instructions in this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When reinstalling iTunes (step 3 in the article above), be sure that you are logged in to your computer as an Administrator:
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes or QuickTime, you need to log in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure you have an administrator account, you may find this Microsoft article helpful: Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?You can refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for more information.

  • VMs won't start after updates and reboot.

    I need some help.
    I installed the November 2014 MS updates last night. I installed them on my lab Hyper-V box. The Hyper-V box is joined to a domain but is not a domain controller. It is Server 2012R2 with Hyper-V with all previous patches applied. I had two VMs configured
    on the box. The VMs were a 2012R2 server and a Windows 8.1 box. Both were running fine. In fact I shut them down before I did the Microsoft Updates on the server.
    The issue I describe below was not present until I did the updates and rebooted. The server and the associated VMs had been running fine for months. These updates are the ones that my SUS server provided to this server.
    After I rebooted the server I could not restart either VM. I kept getting the same error that is listed below. I tried DELETING the VM from Hyper-V manager and then building a new VM and using the old vhdx. Again NO LUCK. I even tried CREATING a new VM and
    I got the same problem.
    (Additional Note: I appeared as though I was able to delete the VM from Hyper-V Manager. Hyper-V Manager displayed 'Destroying....' for some period of time and then the VM was removed from Hyper-V Manager. However, recreating the VM did not solve the problem.) 
    Each time I get the following error displayed on screen.
    'Unnamed VM' could not intiialize.
    An attempt to read or update virtual machine configuration failed
    'Unnamed VM' could not initialize (Virtual Machine ID)
    'Unnamed VM' could not read or update virtual machine configuration: Ran out of memory (0x8007000E) Virtual machine ID B9xxxxxxxxxxxx 
    =======================
    I adjusted permissions on the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V folder. Opened it up to "Authenticated Users" based on a couple of TechNet articles that I found. NO luck
    In the Hyper-V Config log I get the following entry,
    The configuration store at'' is not accessible Unspecified error(0x80004005)
    ==========================
    I also had these errors in the Windows Application log.
    ID=1000 Source=Application Error Type=1 Message=Faulting application name: vmwp.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17334, time stamp: 0x5407c751

    OK,,so I solved this issue by removing the Hyper-V role and then readding the role. The permissions of C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V
    and C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V definetly changed
    as a result of re-adding the role. 
    All required updates (as supplied by WSUS) are applied also.

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac freezing when trying to update and non responsive

    I have a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac.  The updates download but when the mac tries to restart to complete the process the screen is just grey with a tool bar across the top System Updates, however the imac is completely unresponsive and will not even force quit.  I have even left it overnight on a couple of occasions in case it is due to the size if the update but to no success and have to turn the machine off manually.  It operates and functions during use but freezes when shutting down.
    Any one have any experience of this or suggestions please?

  • I am stationed in England, the connection I have is slooow and the update server times out.  I there anyway to get the iOS 5 release downloaded quicker to my iPad.  My laptop has the current Safari update and iTunes is up to date.

    I need help updating my iaPad2 to the current OS.  My connection is slow, but I have the current Safari OS and the current iTunes build on my laptop.  Any advice?

    It's a 700 meg download (which you need to download to your computer), so it's going to take a while to download - getting a quicker router or internet connection would speed it up. Or do you know anybody else with a quicker connection who could download the update file for you, you could then copy it to your computer for the actual update ?
    The direct downloads for the iPad 2 iOS 5 update files are :
    wifi-only
    3G GSM/sim
    3G CDMA

  • IPhone 5C keeps switching itself off and struggles to start again. I've updated and rebooted the phone; do I need to go to a store?

    I've restarated the phone twice and updated iTunes and the iOS Software. But this problem sill persists. Do I need to take my phone back to an Apple Store to get a new one or is there anything else I can try?

    Sounds like you need to take it back to the Apple store and tell them the replacement isn't working.

  • Win 8.1 upgrade, laptop freeze for 10 second

    Hi,
    Anyone experiences this, after upgrading for Win 8.1, my laptop freezes 10 seconds every now and then. It doesn't matter if I am running just the browser or working in excel. Anyone have similar problems and any solutions?

    Can you please give full notebook model but also BIOS and ME version please?
    It sounds like some incompatibility with drivers.

  • Iphone 6, "spotlight search" freezes after 8.2 update

    Is anybody experiencing the spotlight search " web freeze" after updating  iPhone to ios 8.2?
    Swiping down anywhere on your iPhone screen brings down spotlight search feature (can't be on a app icon, or at the top/bottom screen for this to work).  Very handy feature allowing you to search your iPhone, it's apps, and the web for instant access of what you search- nice!  And tapping on the search results connects you to it.  So searching google, for example gives results of google on the web, google app in iPhone apps, and anything else.  But now this nice feature has stopped here after the update of ios 8.2.   Pressing on the search links, beyond anything contained in the iPhone, comes to a "freeze screen" of what's being searched, and no connection, and the only solution is to back out by pressing the front iPhone button.
    1.  Phone has internet access and no problem on other apps such as google, chrome, YouTube, iPhone buy apps, ... etc. on the phone
    2.   Plenty of data left, Wi-Fi and internet usage not the issue
    3.  Wife's iPhone 6 has not been updated- no problems, and spotlight search was working properly on my phone before update

    I finally got this problem to resolve after messing around (hooking up to a laptop ios update) and rebooting my iPhone 6.  Could be a iPhone glitch during updating to 8.2.  I'm still puzzled though, so if anybody gets this problem, try what I did.  If it's still a problem go see a apple store.  My wife is wondering now if she wants to update her iPhone 6.

  • Laptop freezes while on battery power.

    I have Arch 64 bit install on a Thinkpad T510. While the laptop is plugged into power, it is rock solid and can run for days without a crash.
    The laptop freezes up quite often when it is running on battery power. After anything from 15 minutes to an hour, it will probably freeze. I cannot switch to a tty, I just have to do a hard reset.

    I'm not sure if tracker could be causing the problem, or if it is something else.
    I have the discrete graphics card enabled - NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]

    It might not necessarily be caused by loss of power, but maybe if the battery power dips? Or if the battery gets too hot and something overheats, then that could cause freezing. I'm only going by what I've found on google.
    Anyway, I found another thread (not sure why I didn't see it before) that suggests that it might be caused by bluetooth (bluez specifically) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115814, but it seems like that was more of a locking up problem than freezing completely. I've remove bluez and disabled bluetooth for now anyway (unfortunately can't remove it completely because I'm on Gnome Shell) and I'll run on battery for a good while and see if things freeze again.
    EDIT: also followed this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HDAPS in case the problem was caused by the hard drive being moved about.

  • Toshiba laptop, freezing and two BSOD's

    Hi everyone, I've been dealing with laptop issues for the last week and am running out of ideas, so I thought I'd turn to this forum. 
    I have a fairly new Toshiba Satellite A660-x running Windows 7.
    My issues have been the following:
    - Freezing on Windows boot up (I move the mouse and it freezes) 
    - BSOD - 'Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed'
    - BSOD - 'A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor allocated time interval'.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    Cleaning vents with compressed air can.
    For the display driver BSOD, I tried to updated drivers for NDIVDIA GeForce GT 540M which seemed to work at first, but I have gotten the same error since.
    For the clock interrupt, I am not sure what to do. I've heard to reset BIOS but I have no clue how to do that. I also used a program for the BSOD that gave the following dump - 102413-26254-01.dmp 10/24/2013 11:00:48 AM 0x00000101 0000000000000019 0000000000000000 fffff88003165180 0000000000000002 NETwNs64.sys NETwNs64.sys+40445 Intel® Wireless WiFi Link Driver Intel® Wireless WiFi Link Adapter Intel Corporation 14.0.0.113 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+75bc0 C:\windows\MiniDump\102413-26254-01.dmp 8 15 7601 262,144 10/24/2013 11:14:28 AM
    I'm able to boot into Safe Mode, but it is getting harder to get to Windows because it either freezes or I get a BSOD.
    Any ideas or suggestions? I'm at the point where I might get a USB hard drive to get my files off in Safe Mode and look at a new laptop, but if there are any fixes I can try I'd be all about it.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Laptop freezing suddenly

    Hi, my laptop HP G62 freezes suddenly during usage. Neither detects mouse or keyboard. The display remains as it is. I have to remove the battery or long press the power button to get it an improper shut down and start once again. It's freezing at intervals such as 1 or 2 hours sometimes just in 5 minutes after I start. Can anyone say what can be the problem. Recently I had my graphics issue which I had repaired. Does that issue related to this problem. Or is it any other.

    Actually you better try this one , its much easier :

    Just download it and start testing , if it shows some errors and/or your laptop freezes during test then youl know its your RAM.

  • Laptop freeze when no pressure

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem on a M60-CD4 laptop (I know, that laptop model number is strange too!): when I dont push on the casing or the screen, the laptop freeze and if I "repush" on it, it's "unfreezing" at the same place.  No error, no blue screen, only freezing laptop ?!?  Sometimes when I'm lucky, I place the screen in a position that the laptop work no problem but I'm not so lucky!
    Any idea ?  Broken motherboard maybe ?!?  Any other idea ?  Is there service manual where I can find the way to open it correctly to view component ?
    Thanks a lot!

    I am desesperate. The Datasocket - OK version.vi 19 KB that seemed to work so well (no freeze at all) creates a huge memory leakage as you can see in the attached file. I am only reading a tag (local OPC tag, not even remote tag on another PC's OPC server) and the word document attached shows the issue:
    After 15-20min during which no increase of memory is noticed (first picture) the situation starts to worsen. In 12 hours (about 7200 read operations) it reaches a consumption of 65Mb ! (to read everytime the same OPC tag). Something that I never noticed with the Datasocket - NOK version.vi 19 KB that had the freezing issue...
    I really do not know what to do.
    Thanks for your prompt feedback
