Stuck at BIOS splash screen

I own a lenovo b570e model 20713.
I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on it, and after installation I rebooted.
Now the computer is stuck at boot splash screen, will not let me press f2 or f12. Just hangs there at the splash screen.
Any suggestions?

Did you perform a clean install of Ubuntu following the instructions on the Ubuntu forums? There are specific steps required to install Ubuntu on a system that uses UEFI instead of legacy BIOS.
You can try removing battery and AC power, then hold down power button for more than 30 seconds to reset the UEFI settings. Once completed, reattach battery and AC power, then enter UEFI and disable Secure Boot.
Good luck.

Tecra M3 - Stuck at Toshiba BIOS Splash Screen

Not sure what to do here with this one...
Bit of history... we bought my niece a used laptop for surfing/movies which worked fine when I had it a few weeks setting it up and such, she had it a week and it's now dead. Some days it works, some days won't even turn on. So, after much work determined it to be a motherboard issue, and since it was a $200 DELL, we optedto buy another laptop.
I grabbed a used Tecra M3, been playing with it all week, games, surfing, you name it, seemed a gtood solid performer. I give it to her, she goes upstairs, plugs it in, powers on and just sits at the splash screen.
Two nephews have no issues with theirs, wondering if possible the power outlet surging and killing the systems? She's 16, so (hopefully) knows how to handle a laptop carefully.
Regardless... can't afford another dead laptop. Stuck at startup BIOS splash screen, won't go beyond that. Won't let me into the BIOS, and if I hit too many keeps too many times, laptop just beeps per keystroke.
Any advice?
Solved!

Well, not much of a support forum... 2nd posting and neither issue I had had any responses at all.
In case someone see's this because having the same issue, the hard drive was very loose, barely making contact and fell off when I touched it. Pushed it all the way back in and works fine. Pegs on the panel designed to prevent the drive from becomming lose, not very good, still allowed the drive enough wiggle room to shake loose.

Install new GPU and PSU and am stuck at BIOS splash

I purchased an HP a bit over two years ago (Summer of 2012). The computer is an h8-1240t. I had selected the i7 3770 CPU, 300W PSU, 8gb RAM, and a GeForce GT 530.
I am replacing my card with a MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G card as well as a new 500W Corsair CX500M power supply.
The install went fine. I made sure all devices were firmly seated in the slots. When I was finished I powered up my computer and found that I was getting stuck on the BIOS splash screen where it tells you to press 'Escape' for options. If I leave the power on it will eventually make a few intermitent beeps and eventually go to a blank screen with a dash in the upleft corner.
If I am quick enough, I can press 'Esc' and get to the BIOS settings, but then the computer becomes stuck again and same thing as above happens.
After having those issues I put the older GT 530 card back in and everything powered up as normal.
Is this possibly an issue with my motherboard? Here is a CPU-Z screen shot http://i.imgur.com/VDaLmlZ.jpg
Any help will be appreciated as right now that $350 card is as good as a paperweight hah.

Yes it's an 8 thing. The only solution I have seen is to flash the video BIOS on the video card. Video card manufacturers are aware of this issue and many have made a video BIOS available which will make the card work with older systems. You would obviously have to do that on another computer. Also some video cards have a hardware switch on the PCB board that lets you switch the video BIOS from true UEFI (Win8) compatibility to legacy compatibility. Look carefully for such a switch.

Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen

Hello,
I'm new to your forum and hope to find help.
I have a Toshiba Tecra A9 stuck on the splash screen after my intervention in the bios to boot from a USB stick.
_DETAILS:_
At the start, it turns more on the startup screen with the 5 symbol of choice (hard disk, USB, etc.).
Clicking on a symbol and nothing responds I can not enter the bios.
It is displayed at the top of the screen: In Touch With Tomorrow TOSHIBA and five symbols.
I disconnected two small green battery on the motherboard for 10 minutes, but nothing has changed.
That said, I do not know if I disconnected the battery good (y 'have it two?).
It also would it make a metal button battery on the motherboard?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alain

Hi
If the notebook cannot pass the Toshiba Splash Screen then this means that the POST (power on self test) cannot be passed properly and this means mostly than an hardware part on the motherboard or the motherboard itself is faulty
Thats worst case since the mobo is very expensive :(

Lenovo g510 stuck in lenovo splash screen

I bought this g510 less then a year ago without an OS.
I've installed win7 first then ubuntu14.04, back when i get it.
Yesterday I deleted my win7 partition and reinstalled a premium sp1 win7 version from a usb formatted as NTFS - as you might have guessed I'm booting the laptop in legaci mode. The installation got stuck and failed and i had to do a hard reset.
After the hard reset the laptop won't boot and in fact it won't even pass the splash screen or respond to fn+f2 or any other shortcut to get into the bios. Even when i shut it off and press the Novo button it starts but doesn't display the blue utility menu with bios and boot options. Ive tried pressing the power button for 30 seconds witn the battery and power cable disconnected and tried to boot from usb but still nothing.
I then took the hard drive out and the laptop would boot and respond to novo button and fn+f2 and i can go into bios. It would also boot from usb when the hdd is disconnected. But it dosen't matter which bios settings i change or if the bootable usb is connected, when i hook the hdd back the laptop will just get stuck on lenovo splash screen again and won't respond to Novo button or fn+12 and it won't boot from usb - i should mention it does respond to capslock or the key to make the screen black (fn+f9).
I have a 1TR samsung sata hdd that seems to be perfectly fine. I don't think its the hdd or any of the hardware and the symptoms are not of defected hdd or anything else i've seen before. It 's also not a uefi problem as i've tried legacy and uefi mode with the same results. Also my usb boot is enabled in the bios just in case you're wondering.
This has ruined my weekend and about to ruine my week. Help lenovo please save me....?!?

hi markwills,
Welcome to the Forums.
If using another drive works fine on the G510 then I suspect that the stock HDD is failing or has corrupt partitions.
Can you consider using a 2.5" SATA enclosure to convert the stock HDD into an external drive and try to format the drive and/or run a hardware scan on it using the following:
- Lenovo Storage Test or
- HD Tune.
- http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
When finished, try to insert it back on the G510 and observe.
If you get errors on the scan or if the above step is not possible, I recommend you contact warranty support on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

Lenovo G500 stuck at "lenovo splash screen"

Hi
I have Lenovo g500 core i7 ram6 ati radeon 8750 1tb hdd. It's been like a month that laptop freezes at the splash screen. I live in Iran and the laptop is made in China.
I've searched the forums and found the "battery removing, 15sec button-holding and AC Adopter pluging" solution and it worked ...
but today it's not working anymore ... I'm stuck at the splash screen for 4 hours and this is our desktop pc I'm using to post this message.
I really need my laptop! It's my life!
Please help ...

Thanks for reply ...
Your suggested solution does not work
After turning on with "NOVO" button, it stuck at the splash screen ...
I left the laptop to play guitar and after 20 minutes I saw the menu appeared
I went to the BIOS and did the reset. Nothing new happened ...
It still freezes ...
Please help me ... my laptop is my life!
My job, my projects, my researches, everything!

Stuck on the splash screen

Hi,
I have looked through many websites in search for the answer to my HP Pavilion Slimline s3624uk desktop problem with no joy.
The problem is that the computer is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried and tested working USB and PS/2 keyboard and mouse, RAM and processor I know that these devices work by testing them on a different PC. I have removed hard-drive which loads fine again in a different PC. I have tried to reset Bios / CMOS by placing the jumper on pins 2 and 3. I have also removed CMOS battery and all power to motherboard for a period of two hours. I then reconnected all with the same result stuck on the splash screen.
I can’t enter into BIOS. I have tried pressing Esc repeatedly as well as F9, F10 and F11 etc.
Please help...
Mark
Some info which may help:
Motherboard M2n61-AR (Acacia), Processor AMD Athlon X2 64, Memory 2 GB, Power Supply 160w.
FOUND THE PROBLEM.
On the front of the computer, shorting out on one of the USB jacks.

Thanks for the idea. I fixed my own computer by simply doing this.

Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not boot - hangs at BIOS splash screen

My Satellite pro L300-1FN is refusing to boot up. When switched on the laptop displays the toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS splash screen and the "Press F2 go to Setup Utility, F12 go to boot menu" message and flashes the hard disk access light but does not attempt to continue loading. I have left the bios at the splash screen but it does nothing for many hours on AC or runs the battery flat while on battery.
Is there a way of re-setting the BIOS on this unit? If it were a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a BIOS reset but this is impossible on a laptop. The hard disk is fine as I have connected it to another system to remove valuable data.

*I managed to fix this issue* ,,, thanks to some other dudes on other forums
What i did was Format a Floppy disk as MS-DOS boot using a Windows XP PC and USB floppy drive, then downloaded the latest BIOS for my L300-1BW laptop model, copied *.fd bios image to the floppy disk and renamed it to BIOS.fd.
Connect FDD to the toshiba laptop with out AC connected. Held Power button for 12 seconds, connected AC adapter, then held Fn+F, powered on , and kept the Fn+F keys held down for about 10 seconds into the reading of the floppy drive just to be sure, then let go. The screen was black throughout the process. I left this for a few minutes, or until it had finished, the laptop rebooted itself, and voila, it now goes passed the TOSHIBA POST logo screen :)
I hope this helps others with Toshiba Laptops. should work for any Toshiba laptop.

Change BIOS Splash Screen?

Is there a way to change the bios splash screen on the newer thinkpads?
I found a guide for the older ones but i'm not sure if it works for the newer ones (particularly the W520 for me): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen
Thanks!

I looked at my T430s and it is as you describe, but I don't know of anyone who has done this since the UEFI BIOS was introduced, I haven't dealt with custom flash images since the T60. If it doesn't work, I would be afraid that the instructions might be outdated and just might not work.

Need to change the bios splash screen..

T530 change BIOS splash screen

I tried to change the BIOS splash screen with the guide in the FLASH folder but I only get a black screen.
I've tried a jpg file less then 30kb with 640x480 but this didn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions or got it to work?
I would appreciate any help!

Bios splash screen

Hi.
Is there a way to restore the original HP bios splash screen? My company is decommissioning some 8510p's and nc 8430's with our custom Logo and we wuld like to reset all devices to default HP logo. Is there a way?
Thanks
Mark

If you want to remove the branded splash screen associated with your BIOS, you need to obtain the firmware update for your current BIOS and then edit the logo file that’s part of the BIOS fileset before applying the update.
Assuming your PC manufacturer has you create a floppy designed to flash the PC bios, you can fairly easily make a change to the logo displayed. Follow the directions to create the BIOS boot disk, simply replace the included logo.bmp file in the BIOS update package with a logo.bmp file created by you. The key here is to use a 16 color (NOT 16-bit color) 640×480 BMP file. Then copy yourlogo.bmp file onto the disk used for your BIOS update and then run the bundled logo.bat file by double-clicking it. This converts the logo.bmp to a format ready for the BIOS update.
It’s vital to keep all the files in the BIOS update named exactly as they were or your computer may not work after the update. Any changes made to BIOS update files should be done at your own risk and with extreme care.
I think in your case a flash back to standard HP BIOS should restore the standard splash screen as long as the BIOS files you use have the standard .bmp file included.

Vado doesn't boot up / stuck in the splash screen

My recently bought Creative Vado HD doesn't boot anymore - I press the power button and I only see the red led blink for a second. Before this it used to turn on, but wouldn't get out of the splash screen "VADO HD". (and it wouldnt turn off, only if I took out the battery)
The camera has frozen sometimes before, but then I would take the battery out and put it in again to have it working ok. Now reinsertingthe battery doesnt fix it.
If I connect the vado to the pc, it just shows the splash screen and doesnt boot or even charge the battery (I left it connected ov3ernight but It didnt charge the battery, It just killed it because it stayed all night showing the splash screen. - and thats why , i think, it only shows the red light blink instead of showing the splash screen when i try to turn the camera on.
I dont know if this issue might have triggered the problem but here it is:
minutes before vado died I connected the vado to my vizio tv and watched some videos. Then I pulled the hdmi cable and connected the camera to the pc. I noticed it wasnt detected at all -- the vado was stuck in the splash screen.
i cant install a firmware or anything else because the camera is not detected and is stuck in the splash screen.

Hi Setmedown,
It sounds like something is wrong with the Vado HD, if you have not already I would suggest contacting our Customer Support.

Z87-G45 BIOS Splash screen stays during windows startup animation

Hello all,
this is my first post on these forums and I haven't found any similar problems like mine so here it is:
when I power on the PC the normal BIOS splash screen comes up,
then it disappears and normally the windows (I'm running windows 8 Pro x64) startup animation should come up,
but with me the BIOS splash screen just returns and the windows startup circle just comes ontop of it,
like the normal startup animation but instead of a black background I have the BIOS splash screenas background and the windows logo itself also doesn't show,
just the loading circle...
My PC starts up pretty fast so its not that big of a deal but I just wondered if there was a fix
BTW I'm running on a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming with the latest BIOS version (1.3) and windows boots of an SSD

seems to be the normal way of booting. I've also just installed Win8 Pro in UEFI-Mode (not Legacy-UEFI!), and what I've heard from a friend that uses an ASUS board, is that this behavior indicates you are indeed booting in UEFI-Mode -> so no worries!
