Satellite L500 won't load. Windows.stops at x:\windows\system32\drvload

Satellite L500-12T
I've checked other threads for this issue but they have the F8 option during start up, this laptop doesnt have that option.
After turning on the laptop its either press F2 for Setup or F12 to select boot options. I try to load my Windows CD but it doesnt load/read the disk. I also dont know what to troubleshoot on BIOS.
It recognizes all the basic hardware. HDD and CD drive. Ive tried to remove the battery and mouse, then just attach the adapter but I sometimes get "program cannot start press ok to turn off the computer".
Can anyone help me? What are my options to have this fixed / recovered? I cant rely on the phone tech support since the unit is out of warranty.
Any replies would be most welcome. Thanks :)

Hello
Your story is pretty confusing. It is full of different information but we dont know which operating system do you use and has your notebook factory settings or not.
Is there some reason why your notebook acts so strange? Have you done anything that can be responsible for this? Can you start OS or not.
>... sometimes get "program cannot start press ok to turn off the computer".
How to understand sometimes? Which program? What happen when you press power button?
Sorry but I dont know how to understand all this and start with discussion.
Missing F8 option is also very confusing.
Try please to set BIOS to default settings and try to start OS again.

Re: Satellite L670D won't load windows

Hi, I have a toshiba L670D that recently had a windows update and since then, when ever I try to turn it on won't load windows, but just comes up with the error "fatal error c0000034 applying update operation 207 0f 102311 (_00000...)"
Is there anyway I can fix this myself, or is it a case of calling an expert or even going shopping for a new one?

Many thanks, but I cannot seem to open it in safe mode as it either tries to open in standard mode and fails with the error message or just goes into a self diagnostic mode and then comes up with a message to say that recently downloaded software cannot be loaded and to unplug it or call the system administrator.

Satellite M105 Won't load Windows desktop after factory recovery

Sorry this is a long post but I have to explain my situation. I have a Satellite M105 that I purchased in the exchange on a US Military base in Germany in August 2008. The laptop was an open box system that the store employee said had been sent in for repair. I was told it came with the full factory warranty. I had the sales person start the laptop just to make sure it worked and the laptop booted to the Windows XP initial setup screen. I took the laptop home and put it away as I wanted to save it as a gift for a family member. A few days before I was going to pack the gift laptop up to mail it, I decided to try it out. I powered the laptop up and went through the Windows XP setup sequence to agree to the EULA and set up automatic updates. When the setup was completed the laptop restarted and started to load XP. Before the desktop loaded a BSOD flashed momentarily and the computer restarted. Now every time I attempt to start the laptop I get a Windows message "The system was not fully installed. Please run setup again." I returned the laptop to the store and they sent it in for repair under warranty in April 2009. I got the laptop back on Oct 5 2009 with a letter that stated the laptop was not under warranty and the hard drive was defective and the repair cost would be 140Euro (approx $210). When I purchased the laptop I was told the laptop had been sent in for a "start up " problem but it had been repaired and fully tested. I replaced the hard drive today and used the recovery disks to restore the system but guess what. I got the same error message with the new hard drive. I suspect the laptop had a defective motherboard all along but the Toshiba Authorized Repair Center doesn't want to admit they never fixed it correctly the first time. Anyone here have any suggestions?

Satellite M55-s3293 won't load windows xp

my Satellite M55-s3293 won't load windows xp. I press the power button, the fan runs for a few seconds, than I see the toshiba screen and it freezes. I get a message to press f2 to enter setup, f12 for boot device selection menu. I've gone into both menu's, to no avail.
If I wait for a minute or so, I get a message saying that windows did not start sucessfully . I have options to start in safe mod, last known good config, or normally. I've tried each of those selections, but get the same frozen toshiba screen with message to select f2 or f12. my cd drive will not open to allow me to try a recovery disk.
Do you have any suggestions for me please.
Thanks
Just tried f8 during startup and got tech info:
stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x86efa828, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000)

Hello Jane and welcome in Toshiba forum
After reading your posting I must say that best and easiest solution for you is to reinstall operating system using original Toshiba recovery DVD. This DVD contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities. After recovery image installation you will have out-of-box state and clean preinstalled OS.
Yes, this should fix your problem. Please note: when you do this all saved data will be deleted.
Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
If not use this disc reinstall Vista and everything should be ok again.

Satellite L300 laptop won't load Windows

I have a Satellite L300 model number PSLB0A-00L022 running windows Vista.
The problem is that it won't load Windows. It starts ok and I can access the boot manager and the setup utility and that's it. It just stops loading.
After researching the problem I ran a drive fitness test and the result was error code 0x70. After looking up the code Im under the impression that I need to erase the disk. I have no problem with that.
My question is - if I run the windows recovery wizard will it fix my problem? Will I have to re install vista at all? Any advice is appreciated!!

New HD won't load Windows XP

I had to install a new HD but it won't load Windows XP, says I need a Bios update. how do I update the bios update without an operating system? Lenovo site says to load update via windows. Do NOT want Vista. Any suggestions?????

harix, welcome to the forum,
you do not state which notebook you have, this might be important. However, it may be that you just need to change your S-ATA settings in BIOS from AHCI to compatible mode.

Bootcamp stopped working. Won't load Windows 7

I have a MacBook Pro, bought in Aug 2013, with Mavericks. I have been using Bootcamp with Windows 7 64 bit for the programs that won't run on OSX. Bootcamp has been working fine, but today I tried to use it to load Windows, but nothing happens. Just a blank screen. No cursor. Nil. I have tried several times but no success. With Finder, I can see the Bootcamp partition and files, but can't access them through Bootcamp. I have been thinking of changing to Parallels anyway since it is a pain to close down OSX and boot to Windows, and then reverse the process. Any suggestions?

Phillippcc,
as you can see at the link in my last reply, there are several different versions of the Boot Camp support software. The particular version which you’ll need depends on your particular model of MacBook Pro, which version of Windows 7 is on your Boot Camp partition (i.e. either 32-bit or 64-bit), and under which version of OS X the Boot Camp Assistant was first run. To be able to copy the directly downloaded software onto your Boot Camp partition, you will either need to have a FAT-formatted Boot Camp partition, or you will need to install OS X software that can write onto NTFS-formatted drives. (I think that OS X by default only allows read-only access to NTFS-formatted drives.) For me to provide full instructions very slowly to you, I’ll need to know which model of MacBook Pro you have, which version of Windows 7 you have, which version of OS X the Boot Camp Assistant was run under, and which format your Boot Camp partition filesystem uses.

Satellite L500 will not load past the 'welcome' screen

Hi,
My Toshiba Satellite L500 laptop will not load past the 'welcome' screen. The cursor thing just keeps going around and around but won't go to my desktop.
Last night it went into some temporary profile and it had a message saying 'your other profile cannot load at this time please try again later'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kara

The error message is not known to me and also searching in google didnt get any hints.
Possibly your Windows OS is muddled up.
Did you try to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
Try this. Restart your notebook, tap the F8 key.
In advanced boot options choose the option called Safe Mode.
If the notebook does not allow booting in Safe Mode, try the option Last Good Known Configuration.
If this didnt help, try Repair my Computer. Here you can choose between different settings.
The one which could solve this is HDD recovery which helps you to set the notebook to factory settings. But this means also that your HDD would be formatted!
So be aware of this!

Toshiba Laptop won't load Windows 7

Just now, my Satellite P755D-S5266 part no. PSAZ1U-001002 froze up on me while in the middle of browsing the net. The system became completely unresponsive and I had to do a hard reset. Upon restart I was prompted to do a system startup repair, which did not come up with any problems. However, when I try to start up again, the laptop is stuck at the loading Windows screen. It won't let me load safe mode and the only option I have to actually do any recovery in general is right after the startup repair. Is there anything I can do about this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Several things to try. Run the following at the command prompt.
chkdsk c: /r
If you can't boot Windows after that, run Startup Repair again.
If it still doesn't boot, come back for more.

P35 platinum ms7345, system won't load OS, stops at msi splash screen

motherboard in question is a p35 platinum ms7345
system won't load the OS, stops at msi splash screen, can't get into bios.
LED code stops at G-R-G-R "Testing Base and Extended Memory"
this is a system that I built over 8 months ago. the only thing I
did was upgrade the cpu to a E8400( from a e6750). I had no previous
problems. but after the upgrade. I first received an error
= attempt to overclock failed = ( cant quote but as I remembered it)
press any button to reset bios.( I have received this message before with the old cpu but with a restart the system went on as normal). After the system restart, it just sits on the splash screen. I never attempted
to overclock the memory. the jb1 & jb2 jumpers are on 1 & 2 pins(same way it
came from newegg). I tried to use different memory( in all of the slots) same outcome.
I unplugged
all other hardware except vid card> same outcome. I even used a different
vid card> same outcome.
system specs
core 2 e8400
msi p35 platnum
2gb(2x1gb) adata ddr2 800
any suggestions? I appreciate any help. I hope the board isn't finished
thanks in advance
NFIXIT

There are three possible solutions to solve the situation:
1) Install a processor supported by the current BIOS Version to be able to properly turn on your system and then update the BIOS to the latest Version to be able to use your E8400/E0 (update should be done from DOS only).
2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
3) Connect an internal floppy drive and a PS/2 Keyboard and then try to force the system into AMI BIOS Recovery Mode. Instructions:
Quote
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A7345IMS.1xx to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
Even though the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure is the only chance you have to solve the situation without installing a different processor, it does not work in all cases. However, as it is an easy procedure, it is at least worth a try.

My MSI 880GMA-E45 won't load Windows 7 either?

I also cannot load Windows 7. Locks up at "Starting Windows" while installing from DVD or USB stick.
Page Fault in Nonpaged Area. STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFF88000FF8000,0x sixteen zeros, etc.)
Tried stock settings, safe settings-no O/C, etc. This is with Win7x32 Prof., Enterprise or 64bit Prof. too.
Boots and runs off of Ultimate Boot CD & the Ubuntu live DVD, passes Memtest...
Funny thing is I was able to load Windows XP SP3 on it and it's idling with nothing installed at the moment.
Downloading the latest drivers for it now. Have the latest BIOS and turned most everything off except the HD and DVD drive & left everything on "AUTO." *Using the onboard video with either vga or dvi with same results.
I had it loaded last night with xpsp3 and the drivers from the CD the board came with. (No Win Updates. Maybe I need all of them including the .NET framwork stuff, etc.)
Couple times, I got a STOP: 0x000000EA, (0x88F9E888, etc.) ATI2DVAG Beginning dump of physical memory.
ATI Video driver...Real late last night, I got a STOP: 0x0000007E etc. pointing to msrpc.sys sound?
(It wants me to run XP or Ubuntu, that's kinda funny.... :azn: This mobo has something against Windows 7)
I'm going get a PCI Express Video card tomorrow, install it and see what happens.
If you figure out a setting I'm missing, please let me know. I'll check back later tonight and tomorrow at work.
Thanks in advance, Robert

Thanks Svet for the tip. One stick of ram booted and one did not. I can't believe I had not tried that yet!!! I have read that Windows 7 is picky about ram.
I had just purchased the mobo/chip combo, ram, hard drive & blu-ray/dvd from a Fry's B & M in town. It was raining here and the saved money was going to be spent! The price was right for the mobo combo.
I did not check the compatibility of the ram and the mobo which was a mistake.
After purchasing, I noticed on the ram package, that it says "for i5 & i7" and have also read about timing issues with AMD boards and some certain ram sticks.
Corsair's website has this ram listed as the value select line. Not processor specific but lifetime warranty. Maybe just a bum stick.
I'm bringing the ram back tonight. (Fifteen day return policy sticker on package.) Not sure if I should swap for another package or not. I'm checking to see what they have that could work better.
Thanks again, Robert
you da man.... dude

Satellite M40 won't load past BIOS screen

when i turn my Satellite M40 on sadly it won't load past about 7/8ths of the blue bar going across the screen.
this has left me completely baffled as what to do.
apparently it could be repaired by removing the battery cables on my CMOS?
would anyone know how i would go about doing this? or have any other ideas?
thanks xx

Hi Dec,
The scrolling blue bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is being loaded from the hard drive. If this process stalls during the load then it is likely that either the hard drive itself is defetive or the files which are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.
Interfering with the CMOS chip will not correct this problem since the BIOS has already been loaded at this stage.
If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you try booting from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you could try re-installing your operating system from the Toshiba recovery CDs but this will over-write any of your own data on your hard drive.
regards

Satellite L500-164 Drivers for Windows XP?

What about Drivers for Windows XP (32-Bit)?
On the Toshiba Driver Site for this product there are only drivers vor vista 32 bit and vista 64 bit...
where can I find drivers for Win XP??? Or do the Vista drivers work for Win XP, too??
I cannot test it now because I first want to ensure that it will work with win xp, after I wanted to install it..

Hello
The Satellite L500 doesnt support Windows XP, it supports only Vista 32bit and Vista 64bit. Windows XP is pretty old OS, it the past. Now its Windows Vista or Windows 7.
If you want to install XP you have to collect the drivers by yourself on external websites, like Intel, Realtek and so far.
But to be honest be happy with preinstalled OS. All new notebooks are fast enough for Vista. ;)

Satellite L500-19X - Change from Windows 7 to XP Pro

I have a L500-19X supplied with Windows 7 trial which has now expired. Can I easily load XP Pro to replace?
I would appreciate jargon free replies as I am a computor dummy.

hi,
Before installing Windows xp, check if Win Xp drivers are available for your model:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
If there are no drivers, it's useless to install Xp. You have to look for them in the web and most of them are not existing.
By the way, if you use a laptop with supplied Windows, there is no expiration.

HP Pavilion Won't load Windows

I have an HP Pavilion P7-1297 pv Desktop (It's the one they are selling at Sam's Club with the Beats by Dre sound system). The computer starts up just fine and goes through the BIOS screen without any problems. When my computer starts to load Windows, I get a screen shot saying that Windows is starting. After that goes dark, I get the sound Windows makes when it starts and I get a blank screen. The odd thing is, I still have a cursor when everything is blank. I have had this problem since I bought the machine about a month ago. I use this computer at my office and I have only downloaded 2 programs on it. I used to be able to fix it by restarting it with my printer unplugged but that isn't doing the trick now either.
I have run a system test on my programs and did a system restore and neither of those things have worked. I called the help line and got no good answers, other than to pay them for their maintanience fee for a computer that I bought less than a month ago. Anybody had anything like this happen?

First of all I would see if the computer works fine without the printer attached for a day. I would go to the hp support & driver section at the top of these forums and find the latest driver for your video card and see if you can install it in safe mode or safe mode with networking. If it won't install in safe mode, use the VGA mode (doesn't use the high end graphic of the card and normal mode may load). I think you may have a problem with the high resolution part of your graphic card. I am trying to make sure it isn't software first. If you can get the latest driver loaded and you still have the problem with the printer disconnected then I would say your video card is going bad. My guess is that it has a fan that is stuck or not turning well or at all and the chip is overheating. Do you have any friends that are good with just changing out video cards? They will have to remove the case and view the video card while it is in operation to see if it has a fan and if it is turning. They will have to remove it to see of any of the capacitors are bulged or leaking. Some of the higher end cards have plastic shells around them and may even take some dissemble to check but that would be for a technician. The better video cards need extra power in order to run them and you may see a cable from the power supply connected to the video card. There is a chance that your power supply is not supplying sufficient power to the video card any longer and someone may have to test the power supply too.
