Pavilion Slimline s5257c-b Win 7 64bit - Locks up after windows update

I bought this computer for my kids a few years ago at Sam's Club and i cant find any support for it on the HP Support page.  I found that this was not intended for the US, does that sound right?
It had been working fine until about 6 months ago.  I had Auto Windows Update turned on.  After an update, the pc would start to boot, get the HP splash screen, the Windows graphics and then the screen goes dark.  You expect the accounts screen to come up but you get a black screen with the cursor.  The only way out is to hold down the power button.  It will come up in recovery mode and try to recover its self.  Very rarely happens.  I normally have to go into recover manager and pick a restore point before the windows update.  I have since turned off windows update but every now and then an update gets through.  I have looked for anykind of updates on the HP support site but it does not list the machine.  I've let the support tool search my machine and it does not find the PC only the printer i have installed.
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks
Ken

Thanks for the explanation. It makes me feel a little better that could not find it.
I have not ran a registry cleaner on the computer but this system is primarily the kids to play their games and music. I did run the ms repair utility from the ms website you sent me. It found an error and repaired it. I will create a new restore point and then install the windows updates. Hopefully all will be better.
Thank you for your time and help. I really appreciate it.

  • HP Pavilion G7 notebook locks up after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    Looking for some help & advice here.....
    I upgraded my HP Pavilion G7 notebook from Windows to Windows 8.1......and now it appears to lock up after a while.
    I have a Ralink RT3290 adapter and saw that may be a new driver will fix this problem but I'm not sure
    Other system info:
    Product # C2M35UAR#ABA
    System Board 1845 56.32
    System BIOS F.24
    Any help appreciated here.....
    Many Thanks!

    @cpal 
    I did some searching for you looking for any updated drivers that might work. The problem is that Ralink was bought out a few years ago, and many of the Ralink devices do not have Windows 8.1 drivers, even from them. Given the choice it would be better to use the HP versions if windows 8 versions are the only option because at least the driver would have been somewhat customized to be compatible with the normal set of hardware in a HP notebook.
    Here are a few you can try that may help:
    MediaTek(Ralink)802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN (WLAN) Adapter
    Ralink 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Adapter Driver
    Hopefully one of those will work for you, otherwise we can only look for MediaTek to make an updated driver for windows 8.1 in the future.
    And if you are interested here is a blurb on Ralink  - wikipedia.org

  • HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

    After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing. 
    I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success. 
    When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed. 
    Please please help. 

    Hello Cuffy,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
    Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
    If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
    You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
    You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
    Hopefully this information helps!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

    Please follow the steps in the following document to troubleshoot and fix the boot issue that you are facing.

    I hope someone out here can help me as I'm having a similar problem upgrading to 13.1.2.  I posted this under the wrong section about a week ago, so I'm reposting my issues here for convenience.  I'm a Creative Cloud user.  I have been using the 64-bit version of Photoshop 13.0.x on my system successfully for several months now.  I have Windows 7, 3rd gen (Ivy Bridge) core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB Hard Drive, and am using an NVIDIA GeForce 670 video card.... so my system has plenty of processing power.  Several nights ago, my Adobe application manager pops up on start up (as normal whenever there's app updates to be done) and says there's an update available for Photoshop (version 13.1.2, I think.. or something close to it, anyway) and Bridge.  So, as normal, I apply the updates... Everything completely successfully according to the Applicatino Manager.  However, when I try to start photoshop after the update, I get this window that pops up immediately upon double-clicking the Photoshop 64-bit icon on my desktop: "Adobe Photoshop cannot run on this computer because this version of Photoshop requires Windows 7 or later."  All I can do is "X" out the box to make it go away, so I did.  Weird because obviously I have Windows 7 and all of my other software works great on my system, and I have Lightroom 4.3, other Adobe stuff, Serif software, ACDSee, etc... and I get no problems out of ANY of them running on my officially licensed version of Windows 7.  So just for the heck of it, I uninstalled Photoshop completely and then reinstalled it using the Adobe Application Manager.  It installs version 13.0, which then allows me to open and use Photoshop as normal.  I proceed to "check for updates" from within the program, and it takes me to 13.0.2 I believe.  I can use Photoshop as normal after that.   Here's what I think is funny... I can check for updates to my heart's content after updating to 13.0.x.  The program thinks there's no updates available after 13.0.x.  The only way my system knows there's a later version out there is if I power down my system and restart it.  Then and only then will Adobe Application Manager come up and tell me there's an update available (13.1.2) which, if I chooose to install (and I did), takes me back to the error that I mentioned earlier: "Adobe Photoshop cannot run on this computer becuse this version of Photoshop requires Windows 7 or later".  Soooo with all of this said... DOES ANYONE know how the updated version of Photoshop (13.1.2) for Creative Cloud Subscribers checks to see if it's running on a Windows 7 system?  For whatever reason, it doesn't think I have Windows 7 after updating to it, and I'm stuck!  I know if I contact Adobe Support, they're going to want to uninstall ALL of my Adobe software of which I have alot, and then reinstall everything... and quite frankly, I think all that is a bunch of crap!  It's plain and simple... Photoshop works BEFORE the update, and will not open due to this error AFTER the update, so there's some issue with the updating procedure that causes Photoshop to not recognize my Windows 7 system, and I just pray that SOMEBODY out there might be able to help me change some setting on my system that will cause Photoshop 13.1.2 to actually work!
    UPDATE: I decided to check the 32-bit version of 13.1.2, and it works!  So it looks like this error is limited to the 64-bit version.  That just makes no sense at all to me.
    UPDATE # 2:
    I followed Jeff Wright's advice about checking the installation error log.  I had no errors... An error log doesn't even exist in my case.  The funny thing is that the 32-bit version works beautifully!  After reading this thread,  I thought that the problem might be related to my video card driver.  Although I don't see any logic to that, I decided to go out to the NVIDIA website and update my driver.  The driver I had was only 3 months old.  Anyway, I did it.  I then uninstalled Photoshop using the Windows 7 uninstall program utility and reinstalled Photoshop.  I get the same error message when I try to run the 64-bit version of 13.1.2.. something to the effect of "this computer must be running Windows 7 to run this program."  However, the 32-bit version loads and works perfectly.  Since I'm now at my wit's end, I decided to uninstall Photoshop again, but this time using the REVO uninstaller utility hoping that somehow that the Windows uninstaller wasn't working correctly.  I completely uninstalled it, reinstalled it using Adobe Application Manager and get the same results.  As long as I stay at 13.0.x, Photoshop works fine in both the 32-bit AND 64-bit editions, but as soon as I using Adobe Application Manager to update to 13.1.2, the 64-bit program won't run.  I just don't understand how the 32-bit version will run perfectly, but the 64-bit version won't.  THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY !!!

  • Google Navigator locking up after latest update

    OK so after the update on Friday, Google Navigator has stopped working.  After entering the address it just says "Google Navigator" on the screen and the phone locks up.  Pulling the battery resets the phone but the App still continues to lock up.  By the way a reset button would be nice, I mean, this taking it apart and pulling the battery is really getting old.
    Next, I checked the Android Market thinking maybe I could just download a new Google Navigator App but it no longer exists there.  Google Maps is there but not Google Navigator. {word filter avoidance} is up with that?  So the App doesn't exist anymore?
    So off to the Verizon store I go to get it fixed (lol) and of course they know nothing of the problem and the only solution that they can pull out of their butt is to perform a hard reset on it.  Now maybe that would actually work but going through the hassle of reloading all my apps, email, ringtones, etc and recustomizing my phone again is really getting {word filter avoidance} old too.
    I see others are having issues with Google Maps but that part is working fine for me.

      Did you search these forums for others having the issue before you went to the Verizon store? There are numerous threads out there with people having the same problem, and there are 2 possible solutions that are given there by others that have had the issue, myself included. It is the Navigation app everyone is having the problem with, the Maps app works fine.
      I think you are confusing a "hard reset" with a "factory reset". A "hard reset" is shutting off, pulling the battery, putting it back in, then turning back on. A "factory reset" actually wipes the device to factory defaults, thus making it look like a brand new phone.
    If you are still having the problem, try this:
    Remove Google Maps
    Shut off phone
    Pull battery
    Put battery in
    Turn phone on
    Install Google Maps
    Try it
      If that does not work, do the same thing again, but turn on wifi and connect to some wireless somewhere before installing Google Maps and trying it. This is what worked for me. You do not need wifi on all the time after that, just that first time.

  • New ipod touch is locked up after sw update 5.1 fail

    new ipod touch came today, turned it on and completed the steps and connected to my wifi ok. then plugged to usb and computer (win xp) and started itunes. first messsage wanted to select sync options- picked music and got the message that my library was to big for the ipod touch, next i noted that the itouch was named "administrator" because i missed that on the first step. clicked on the "administrator" name and changed it. about then a pop appeared and suggested that i update sw to 5.1. ok, start download and soon it fails with network error. tried again and same failure. left it alone while doing other things and came back, plugged in and got message that device needed to be restored. tried that two times and fail both times with unknown error 1604. now ipod touch is not working at all. when it is plugged into computer the ipod touch has a display of usb plug pointing to itunes icon. device dosn't appear on itunes or windows xp. tried the reset button combo. upgraded to latestet itunes sw and rebooted computer. still dead. i'm going to send it in to apple unless someone has a better idea.
    Thanks, steve

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT5192 has anyone else foud the security bug of the camera in the lock screen after the update to 5.1

    Hi
    has anyone found that you can get into an iPhone from the lock screen with the camera option. I have just upgraded and now have the camera option on the lock screen. you can go into the camera without the need of the pass code and then when in it press the home button to get into the phone. this is a big security problem, or am I alone of thinking this.
    thanks
    ally

    I have tried that a few times.  Also I can only get the phone to lock out someone after using the camera shortcut on the lock screen if the passcode is required immediately. If it is set to 1 minute you can still get into the phone and use it without the passcode.

  • White bar across iPhone 4 locked out after iOS7 update...Help

    I did the iOS7 udpate this morning and now I have a white bar across my iPhone 4 screen and locked out.   I am only able to answer incoming calls at this point.  I tried restoring from backup but it needs me to turn off the locate phone option from the phone - can't because I'm locked out by white bar. The off button on the top of the phone hasn't worked for nearly a year to try to reset it that way.  Any other ideas out there?

  • Lumia 800 locking up after 11500 update

    I hadn't had a single problem with my Lumia 800 since purchase two months ago.
    Last night I updated the firmware to 11500.
    Within a minute of the update completing the phone froze. App list was on screen but unresponsive, all buttons unresponsive, a full blown lockup.  I held the power button and reset it.  Phone booted up ok but locked up again within five mins, then again after another five mins.  This morning it locked up again while I was switching off flight mode.
    There has been no consistency to what I have been doing on the phone at the time. The only observation I've made is that it's never unresponsive when I pick it up, it happens monents after unlocking the screen and using the phone.
    Has anybody else experienced this?
    I can't make use of this because I've owned the phone for too long: http://www.lovemekeepme.com
    Help! Please?

    Restore done.  Phone restarted.
    It locked up seconds after unlocking the screen.
    Held down power button until device switched off, rebooted, went into apps list, opened an email, ran Nokia Disgnostics and looked at Battery Info, returned to homescreen, switched on flight-mode, switched off flight-mode, phone locked up.
    GPS appears to be broken too. Nokia Maps, Maps (WP) and FourSquare all show my location as the place I last ran a map application which is about 30km away. Strange thing is that it's reporting that GPS is locked on and that it knows my position.
    Oh! Phone has just locked up again.
    What should I do now?  If it's to contact Nokia Care would you mind providing a link or telephone number (UK) please?
    Thanks everso,
    Matt.

  • Lumia 920 Locks up after Black update

    I'm using an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920. My phone had been working fine with the Amber update but as soon as I updated to Black it started hanging and acting weird. These are the symptoms:
    1. If I have a device pin setup it hangs as soon as I type in the pin or if I hit the emergency call button.
    2. If I don't have a pin, most apps don't start. They say they are loading but after 30 seconds or so they drop back to the start menu.
    3. It never successfully reboots, I have to use the soft reset key sequence (power + volume down) to get it to restart.
    4. I see missed incoming calls but the phone gives no indication when you're actually calling it.
    Things I've tried:
    1. Soft reset.
    2. Hard reset.
    3. Flash to pre Black using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. (no longer possible since it downloaded the black update this morning)
    4. Restoring backup after hard reset.
    5. Picking all the defaults after a hard reset.
    6. Changing the region on startup after a hard reset.
    7. Changing the keyboard layouts (remove some, add a bunch). This the one setting I seem to be able to get to.
    8. Uninstalled all apps I could (I can't see what games are installed).
    9. Flashed back to Original ROM and updated through Phone Updates, after Black is installed, device locks up again.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? I'm in the US.
    Thanks!

    that's really a bummer.
    I went through the same thing/similar when I updated my 920 to black.
    I had to hard format and use the NSRT to reinstall the firmware completely 10-12 times until it finaly took the firmware correctly.
    other than that, seems you have done everything you could to troubleshoot it.
