PC Shuts down at Startup

My PC recently just shuts it self down when it is at the HP Logo Loading Screen.
I hope its not a hardware failure.
I did formated it 2 Days Ago,

Hi there @eddieleon7pc 
I understand that your notebook is shutting down at the HP logo screen, and that you formatted the system a few days ago. I am happy to help you with this.
When you formatted the system, did you remove all the other partitions, including the recovery partition? Hopefully not.
What did you use to reinstall the operating system? An original Windows disk, or the recovery partition, or a set of recovery disks you had made?
Please provide any details you can. Was there any new software installed or hardware changes, or system updates prior to the problem occuring?
Since you just reformatted the hard drive, and assuming that you did not remove the recovery image, you can try restoring the factory image.

  • 2007 Mac Book pro Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    My Mac Book Pro started having issues. I tried to relaod the operating system and it worked for a moment. When I tried to do a time machine back up it failed.
    Now itr Shuts down at startup attempt. Tried reloading OSX and will not start up after that.

    Dr.Conga,
    did you try to do a Time Machine backup from your MacBook Pro, or a Time Machine restoration to it?
    Are you trying to reload your current version of OS X (10.7.4, to judge from your signature), or are you trying to reload the version of Mac OS X that came on the grey installation DVDs that originally came with your MacBook Pro?

  • MacBook Shuts down during startup

    My MacBook started acting slow the other day and then today when I started it up, it was in a constant lock up with a spinning pin wheel. No force quit commands or anything would work. So, I restarted it and now after the Grey screen with the Apple logo, the MacBook shuts down. The only thing I can get running is by holding C with the Leopard disc in there.
    I tried to run Disk Utility from there but everything failed. I'm assuming I need a new hard drive? Is there anyway to save data from within the Leopard disc bootup? Maybe over a network?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I am having this very same issue. It shuts down during startup. I can boot into Windows, and using the Leopard startup disc, Disk Utility could not work any magic. I do not have a second Mac or access to one for any backup purposes. I have no idea what else to try, does anyone know something besides backing up through firewire, on how I can either save my computer's data or resurrect the drive? Thank you for your help.

  • Studio 17" Monitor Shuts Down at startup

    I have recently been having problems with my Stuido 17 monitor plugged into my PowerBook G4. Every time I plug in my monitor to the powerbook it goes through the motions of starting up then all of the sudden it shuts down the startup process in mid stream.
    After I startup the computer and then plug in the external monitor into it it will engage but up appears the shut down window on the Studio 17 and before I can click "Cancel" it shuts down my entire system.
    Help! It's driving me crazy!! Any ideas on what the problem is and how to get it working again! Your thoughts and suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!

    Mark,
    Welcome to the posts ( I presume). It sounds like the error message is coming up either way. When you say " After I startup the computer and then plug in the external monitor into it it will engage but up appears the shut down window on the Studio 17 , are you implying that the laptop screen works fine until you plug in the external 17"?
    If that is the case, double check your monitor settings, then reset your vram. It may be hardware related but check software first.

  • IMac shutting down on startup - Can't enter safe mode as wireless keyboard doesn't connect quickly enough

    Hi all,
    I was planning to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 21.5" iMac.
    Bootcamp recommended I usk disk utility to repair the drive. I had a snow leopard install disk in the drive, (I didn't realise Lion already had it's recovery tools built in to the hard drive.)
    Disk utility said it can't repair the drive and recommended I start backing up my data (because the hard drive could be about to fail). Fine, so I restarted, with the intention of backing up everything (all my work for the last 12 months). So I press the power button, grey screen comes up, then the apple logo, then a progress bar appears (found this odd at first, but later found out it has something to do with disk utility and a bad hard drive) it gets to around 20% and then all power is cut from the iMac and the hard drive stops/everything powers down.
    Now, I can't seem to get my iMac to boot into recovery utilities or into safe mode because it doesn't connect to the wireless keyboard in time before it shuts down. So, if I use a wired keyboard (I have a dell USB keyboard that I can take from the office), will I be able to boot into safe mode?
    Also, if the disk in drive is causing the problem, then I can't remove it because the wireless keyboard won't connect/register any keypresses.

    Ok so, status report:
    Wired keyboard is non responsive when I plug it in before/during boot. So i guess it needs to be plugged in before the iMac shut down. That's that out the window.
    Plugged in headphones and I can't hear the startup chime so don't know when to start holding buttons.
    To make matters worse, the wireless keyboard is no longer paired with the iMac, getting a green blinking light which indicates it wants to connect to a computer or device.
    So I can't enter any commands whatsoever, can't remove the disk in the drive or boot safe mode. It's my worst nightmare.

  • IMac keeps shutting down during startup loading bar under apple sign

    My electricity went out and came back on a minute later. When my computer started up again the font was back to original factory setting. I then restarted my computer and every time it would load up it would shutdown. The computer chimes and then reaches a grey screen with an apple sign. Below it is a loading bar. This bar loads about 10% then goes back down and loads from 0%. A couple minutes later it shuts down after staying at 0%. It keeps doing this routine every time I start the computer. I then did a command s and rebooted the computer to factory reset it. The computer still shuts down and has the old habit of reaching 10% and 0% with the loading bar but now after the loading bar is at 0% it then disappears to the Apple sign and a loading circle. It then shuts down again. This iMac was originally 10.6.8. but i believe i updated it to 10.9.4 and was purchased new around 2008. I also tried to put in a CD with Firmware Restoration CD 1.7. but that didnt work. Can anyone help? or has anyone had similar issues?

  • Macbook pro shuts down at startup

    My Macbook pro that I bought at christmas shuts down as soon as I turn it on. I hear the startup chime and the grey screen pops up with the apple icon and the wheel loading icon starts spinning then all of a sudden my computer shuts off. Any suggestion on what what might be wrong? or how I could go about fixing this? I have opened up the computer in safe mode and by pressing "command" and "R", but I am not very tech savy and have no idea what I am doing.

    Try a SMC reset ;

    If this does not help, bring it in to the Apple store, you should still be under warannty, let tem fix it, you paid for it and you should not have to deal with it.

  • Quicksilver shuts down after startup chime

    Hello,
    I got an old Quicksilver 2002 (933) which won't boot : it shuts down 3 or 4 seconds after the startup chime. What's wrong ?
    Thanks

    Thank you for your answer, but it didn't work.
    I forgot something important in my first post : the story of this Quicksilver
    So yes, I just acquire this Mac, didn't work at all. It was missing a screw on the CPU card. After adding the screw, the PM booted into my Tiger DVD. I shut down the PM to close it correctly. It didn't boot anymore for this time.
    I tried PRAM reset, motherboard reset. I've taken apart all I could (modem, graphic card, hard drive, ...), I've replaced the PSU, but nothing. I noticed that when I try to boot without RAM, the powermac makes one beep (no RAM installed) but don't shut down after that ! So I tried with 2 different RAM modules on every RAM slot, but it didn't work. (each RAM module is PC133 and works fine on my iMac G3 DV SE).
    I think the motherboard or the CPU is screw up, but which one ? Maybe I forgot one thing to make it work ?

  • Mac Mini shuts down during startup after update

    I've got a Late 2009 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server. Occasionally, it takes me awhile to restart after updates, so this could be due to the most recent update or possibly the combination of the last two...
    I went into my office, saw that there was a Safari update and decided to let it do its thing. When I came back 30 minutes later, my machine was off. I turned my machine back on, got the gray Apple screen with the spinning cog and the progress indicator for the update. A little over 10% through, the progress indicator reset. No biggie, I figured. Second time it got to the same point, it just shut down. Nada. When I restart, it does the same thing.
    I've tried resetting PRAM.
    I've tried resetting SMC.
    I've tried booting in safe mode, but that isn't working at all – just does the same thing as when I (fail to) boot normally.
    Everything but one of my screens and my keyboard is disconnected. ****, I even tried booting without either one connected (I just waited to see if it would turn off), and it failed.
    Can't think of or find anything else.
    Anyone?

    Humm.. you'll need to startup from your System Install Disc to test, repair or restore from Time Machine.
    Some options for Starting up from your Install Disc include:
    1. in an External Optical DVD Drive.
    2. from another iMac in Target Disk Mode.
    3. from a copy on a Thumb Drive or External HD.
    It's to bad that you are using Time Machine on the second HD instead of a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner - Home or SuperDuper! that you could boot from for testing, repairing and/or restoring.
    If none of the above helps?
    There is one good thing about a Mac Mini, it is much easier to tote into the local Apple Store or AASP than an iMac. see > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

  • Shuts down during startup

    IMac shut down during use. On startup I get a progress bar on white screen then shuts down again. Any thoughts?

    Hi Eric
    When I put in my system DVD (I'm assuming that's the one with the operating system install) there was no change.  I still hear the computer power up, I get the white screen (and now hear the DVD churn), get the Apple logo, get the white bar across the bottom of the screen that shows progress, and then poof, the computer shuts down (with my operating system DVD in it).
    Cheers,

  • Desktop G5 shuts down during startup

    Just sold our Desktop G5 to my in-laws. (It has always worked well for us.) Put 10.4 on it and everything has run just fine for a couple months. All of a sudden, it turns off during startup. It tries to restart, probably because I put the settings to restart in case of power outage. It sometimes gets to the desktop, even starts to open some applications as usual. Then other times it turns off during startup, only getting as far as the gray apple startup screen. We have changed everything we can such as different electrical outlet. (grabbing at straws.)
    It did have a cd in it but when managed to get it out. This had no effect on the problem.
    Also tried resetting SMU, with no effect on problem. Also held down option to get to chose startup disk while the 10.4 cd was in drive, but still does the same thing. Held C down too to force it to cd but did not work....same problem.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have a Powermac G5-I only have in the computer what was factory installed. The computer is a little over 5 years old. The problem started after I booted up and logged in. My desktop and pointer were frozen. I could not escape and I tried to shut down doing a force quit. No Luck. I eventually had to unplug the computer from the wall. Upon restarting the computer, when it came on, all I got was a gray screen with the Apple logo. After about a minute of this, The internal cooling fans would come on full blast. I also tried booting from the start-up disk (I had to install the disk manually, because the drive would not respond to the key command) with no luck. I have taken it to the Mac store. Their conclusion was it could be the motherboard or the CPU's, but they weren't certain either. Do you think it could be possible that it's not the CPU or Logicboard? The expense for replacing both, almost doesn't make it worth it. Any ideas?

  • G5 shuts down during startup

    I am at a total loss here.
    A week ago my G5 started shutting down while it was starting up. If I left it alone for awhile, sometimes it would finish starting up, sometimes not.
    I have done the following:
    Zapped the PRAM
    Reset the SMU
    Done a clean install of Leopard
    Repaired permissions
    Verified the internal hard drive, it appears to be OK.
    Tried different wall outlets.
    I have no idea what else I can do. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, I'm at the end of my rope.

    Apparently I spoke too soon... the G5 is once again shutting itself down at startup. It will boot to the grey screen with grey apple logo and then shut itself down. I even booted into Verbose Mode and the last thing it said before shutting down was "Matching Service Count = 6".
    Earlier today the Apple Hardware Test CD was run. It didn't report any problems.
    Earlier this evening when booting off the Leopard install DVD, it was not able to repair the startup disk in Disk Utility. Then I ran Disk Warrior 3.0.3 to repair the disk directory. That ran successfully. Now when running Disk Utility over the Leopard install DVD, it reports that the disk is ok, no repairs needed.
    It seems like you have to hit the SMU reset switch every time in order to successfully boot the computer. Could both hard drives that I've been using be failing simultaneously? It's possible but not very likely.
    This is getting incredibly frustrating, I'm ready to throw this thing out the window.

  • Macbook Pro 17" mid 2009 shuts down on startup

    Macbook Pro 17" start acting up few weeks ago. It shuts down at start up. I have to press power button many times to turn it on. I red few posts regarding this problem, and most of them are saying that its HD fault. I've just did fresh install of Mountain Lion with hope it will fix the HD, but I guess it didn't fix anything. Is it possible that SuperDrive is at fault? The reason is that SuperDrive stoped reading CD/DVDs since few months ago. What do I have to do before I replace 500 GB HDD?
    Thanks in advance to everyone.

    Maybe if you had checked into how to use and repair your system, what to do to reset the system board, and the things that can and do go wrong - PCs are not immune they are different. Notebooks have more trouble with disk drive failures and heat they have to contend with.

    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367
    Symptoms
    If your Macintosh computer won't turn on, here's how to troubleshoot it. Please keep in mind that although your computer may display similar symptoms that prevent it from showing video, this article discusses what to do if the computer won't turn on, meaning that when you press the power button:
    You don't hear a startup chime.
    You don't hear any fan or drive noise.
    The power button or power indicator doesn't light up at all.
    If your computer doesn't display any video, it may display one or more of these similar symptoms when you press the power button:
    You may hear a startup chime.
    You may hear fan or drive noise.
    You may see the power button or power indicator light up.
    If any of these conditions occurs, see Troubleshooting: My computer has no video instead. 
    Resolution
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
    Make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power port on the side or back of the computer.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged into the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    Reset the computer's PMU, SMC, or PRAM. Refer to the instructions for your model:
    Portable (iBook or PowerBook)
    Mac mini
    iMac
    Power Mac
    Mac Pro
    MacBook or MacBook Pro
    Other Mac computers

  • Stumper!  Sawtooth shuts down on startup - only when HD is attached.

    I've been reading this forum for answers, and no one seems to have this particular problem. Care for a real stumper? Put on your genius hats, ladies and gentlemen!
    I have been upgrading a G4 Sawtooth, 450MHz. I replaced the DVD-R with a new one and installed a Newertech 1.2GHz upgrade. So far so good.
    Then I replaced the HD with a 320 Gb Seagate drive. Aha, the clever ones among you will say, the G4 can only see 128 Gb of that. Yes, and so I installed Leopard 10.5.8 on the drive using ANOTHER COMPUTER and then also installed InTech's Speed Tools (http://www.intechusa.com/). When I went to plug the drive in the G4, everything worked just fine. For a while. Now I get the blinking question mark.
    OK, so I figure I was courting disaster with the Speed Tools. Something has gone wrong and the G4 cannot see all 320Gb of te startup drive, some files are not loading, and it's unable to start up.
    So I bought an 80Gb drive and plugged it in. Installed Leopard fresh from the DVD right on the new 80Gb drive, right with the G4. The G4 started up on the Leopard DVD just fine! It ran for about an hour to install the OS, and then it went to restart up on the 80Gb drive. And promptly shut down!
    Now whenever I try to start up on that drive it shuts down immediately!
    2. Zapped PRAM, replaced battery, reset PMU, unplugged it for several days.
    3. Plugged the 80Gb into the ATA-33 DVD/Zip drive connector. No luck, same shutdown.
    4. Adjusted the jumpers, neither "Cable Select" nor "Master" seems to have any effect.
    5. The G4 starts up with NO DRIVE plugged in at all, and will stay on as long as I keep it on.
    I've ruled out power supply (the G4 runs fine booting off the Leopard DVD).
    I've ruled out the disc (fresh from the wrapper, and apparently it will work long enough to install Leopard on it).
    I've ruled out the ATA bus is bad (it works fine to install Leopard on the 80Gb, so something must be happening).
    My next step is to put Leopard on an external and try starting up on a USB drive. My guess is that it's going to start up fine, but we shall see. Any advice? Oh, please say yes, and let me know it is a dumb thing I have forgotten to do...
    I'm at my wits end!

    New update:
    Heck, I've driven everyone away.
    So I installed 10.4, that worked. Installed the 10.4.8 combo update, directly from Apple, in an attempt to get it back up to 10.4.11. Installed fine, but when it went to restart, it hung on the grey Apple with clock screen - for about 30 minutes and eventually I shut it down.
    Weird, this is what happened last time. OK on 10.4, tried to update to 10.5 and it locks up, only slightly differently this time.
    Then I remembered. This has a Newertech upgrade, and I reset PRAM and everything else but never reflashed the firmware. Maybe this is what is wrong? Popped the CD in, flashed the firmware, etc.
    Now it won't even come on!
    Light on the power button goes off, discs are spinning, fans are turning, but nothing is happening! Cannot reset PRAM, cannot boot off a CD, nothing.
    Any advice? I know I should have quit while I was ahead!
