Stuck at windows splash screen

I am having a problem with my laptop not booting. My laptop was running really slow so I closed out what I was doing and told the computer to restart. After it shut down it rebooted but now it won't go past the windows splash screen. When I run the HP diagnostics I get the following;
Memory test: passed
SMART check: passed
Short DST: failed
Failure ID : GGE38C-62C77D-QFPK01-60W603
PRODUCT ID : A6X01UA#ABA
HARD DISK 1
Any suggestions? I have some very important files on this hard drive that I don't have backed up unfortunately. When I go to do a restore it gives me the option to back up my files and shows there are files in my libraries so hopefully when I get a portable hard drive in the next day or 2 I can make my back up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Brian

No one has any suggestions? Is there a place I can look up the code myself? I haven't been able to find anything yet.

  • 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.

    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 :(

  • 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.

  • Long Windows Splash screen hang. While XP/Splash screen is halfway loaded 5mins+

    OK so I have been having a problem... I recently installed my Duel Core 4200 x2 939 and everything was good did a fresh install of Windows XP I installed the windows hotfix and then the AMD dual core optimizer and it seemed to slow me down a little so I re installed windows again and decided not to install the windows hotfix nor the AMD optimizer.....so the problem I am facing is when I power on the computer shows the Platinum start up Picture then goes to next screen but before it gets to the Windows XP splash/loading screen it it Pitch black for 4/5 minutes each time(timed it) .... what is causing this?  It did the same thing when I had the Dual Core optimizer and windows hot fix installed sooooo I donno..... Does the Dual core optimized and Windows Hot Fix really help ?

    Point taken Richard
    Anyway, as promised...
    I never had any doubt that the enermax power supply wasn't working absolutely 110% perfectly.  Given the price of the thing new and the figures (in sig-hope I got it all ok, I followed instructions mostly!) it had to be alright right? Wrong.
    I've just swapped out the PSU from my nix box.  Its only a 400w one so again scaled down this system, damn, works a treat.
    Hope that helps you too gameboi or whatever you're crying ass name is.
    I must thank aicjofs though for his post.  It gave a starting point to try and figure out what was happening and why.
    With boot.ini edited to stop the windows splash screen showing I could see that a fraction of a second before XP starts to load the drivers, the last thing to be checked is nvram (as I understand it this could be both RAM and BIOS).  I just reckon that spinning 5 hdd's and 3 burners, my very power hungry RAM, with the graphics card is just about to come online and obviously the boards normal operation that the power drain at this point is incredibly high.  My PSU, unlike me, just hasn't improved with age! (This is all guessing though, but I really wanted to find some reasonable explaination as to why adding one hdd has slowed startup so much).  The reason the comp works ok after this is that the initial checks couples with the high power drain are done and dusted.  Again just guessing.
    I would be genuinely interested on anyones views on that explaination-not here obviously otherwise they'll be handbags at dawn.
    Laterz..I have a hot game of Spider Solitaire with my name on it.
    Hope the above helps, sincerely.  Not my explaination or guess work, but just the fact that is was the age old problem of power.
    Balders
    PS  Where should I start a rant about the appalling layout of this board Disregarding the constant reboots (PSU I'm hoping) and BIOS crashes, the badly thought out heat pipe (that does a fantastic job of heating up the GFX card though), the complete lack of 'Other boot device' in BIOS - one ide slot which has to have hdds on otherwise I suffer the 'delayed write error' (nvidia drivers, bless) so I have to swap cables over to the dvd burners so I can install windows!  Not forgetting the great positioning of PCI-e 1 x16 making the first PCI-e x1 slot unusable.  Flag ship MSI board?  I think not.  Half arsed money making venture...works a treat.  Oh, I already did it!  Thanks, feel much better now!!   I've used MSI boards exclusively in my own and the few other peoples builds I have done.  I will really have to rethink that in 4 or 5 years when I can afford another one after this abortion.
    Oh, and what about Dual Core Center?  Again disregarding the spelling mistake on the GUI, a sure fire way to get my comp to lock up is to leave it set on 'Silent' (the only way I found to use cool 'n' quiet - yeah right) for a few hours.

  • Win 7 Bootcamp does not boot beyond windows splash screen.

    I am Running a Windows 7 bootcamp partition which has been running fine for months, untill today when it now just goes to a non responsive blank screen after the Windows splash screen.  I am able to boot the win7 os into safe mode successfully, and also have the bootcamp partition set up as a VM, which i am able to boot into successfully in normal mode. Very odd.
    I am running an 2.6GHz i7 Retina MBP with 8GB ram and a 512 SSD
    Any help/ideas would be appreciated

    also do you mean 3 gigs of ram total when you say 3x1gig if so your board only supports 2 gig of ram when it is pc2700...
    Yes, I mean 3 Gigs total.  I read on Soyo\\\\\\\'s website that it\\\\\\\'s MoBo\\\\\\\'s do that and will only support 3 Gigs at 2100, hence me underclocking my RAM at 266 Mhz.  It would have been really useful if MSI\\\\\\\'s documentation would have said the same thing.  3 Gigs at 2700 is the reason my system would NOT even POST.  Where did you see that it only supports 2 Gigs at 2700?[/COLOR]
    That's not unusual that you would have to do a fresh install of your OS to get it running properly. As far as RAM these boards are very sensitive to types of RAM so You may have trouble with your sticks. As far as 3 1 Gig sticks, unless you are doing some very heavy graphics it is probably overkill and you will find better performance with two sticks running in dual mode. Try it and see which way it runs better for you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    boot time depends alot of what you install.

  • 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...

  • Problem Installing my new graphic card 760GTX Stucks on HP Splash Screen

    I'm using a h9-1185 Windows 7 and I thought I'd update my graphic card from a 7870 to GTX 760 but that was easier said than done. When I try to boot my computer with the new card it stays at the hp splash screen. The GPU is correctly installed I have both cables connected to the PSU. The fans are running properly It's just that I get stuck on the loading screen when I use the gtx 760. I can't press any keys to go to the boot menu, etc. After sitting at the screen for 5 minutes it changes to a black sreen showing at the corner the brand of my Graphic Card (760 PNY etc....) but nothing happens. 
    When I changed it back to the old graphic card Sapphire 7870, it didn't freeze or anything. It worked fine. I was trying to update my BIOS but I think i have the latest update (v7.09).
    Maybe my english isn't good at all, sorry about that.

    John, welcome to the forum.
    Did you install the latest driver for the new video card?  This must be done for it to work properly.
    Also, when you have the new card and driver installed, I suggest clearing the CMOS:
    This motherboard has a jumper to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.
    Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Move the jumper to clear for 5 to 10 secs, then move the jumper back to default.
    Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
    On the next startup, enter BIOS setup to re-enter user settings.

  • Hp Pavilion P6724IT Stuck at HP Splash screen after install of new VGA

    Hello people.
    I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
    After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
    Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
    I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
    Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
    I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
    If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
    Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
    Sorry for my bad english!

  • Toshiba Satellite stuck at Toshiba splash screen.

    My computer has been fine for roughly 5 years. Today, when I plugged in a USB stick, it started hitting me with endless "N:\ cannot be found" type messages. I went down to my taskbar, disengaged the usb stick, unplugged, it and restarted my laptop. It is now stuck at the Toshiba splash screen.
    I have tried:
    - Taking out battery, holding power button, returning battery, and powering up.
    - Entering BIOS (won't work - just beeps and freezes)
    - Entering boot menu (won't work)
    - Booting from Windows CD (just stays at Toshiba screen)
    - Booting from a Live Linux CD (same, just won't...)
    I am officially out of ideas and on the verge of just putting the HDD into a case and drawing files from it using a different comp. Any last suggestions? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the HDD is not the cause. In fact, it's now being used on another machine and is working perfectly. The computer does this even with other drives in it, and without a HDD at all (when it should at least go past the splash screen and say no drive or OS is found).
    I still cannot get into BIOS or the boot menu, and it won't boot from a CD or USB drive. I wanted to try resetting the BIOS by reseating the CMOS battery, but it's soldered down and I don't want to risk trying to drain it with wires (a common resort that risks hurting the mobo).
    I think I amy try taking it to some awful repair shop before giving up. Any other thoughts?

  • LENOVO Y2P stuck at Lenovo Splash Screen

    I partitioned my SSD into two parts trying to install another OS to the newly unallocated partition. Rebooted into boot menu, but couldn't find my USB drive in the menu. Anyways I said nevermind it's okay and decided to boot normally. It booted without any problem and then for whatever reason I shut down the pc. Turn it back on a little later, now it's stuck at the LENOVO splash screen, won't boot no matter what I do

    Do you have a Windows 8 or 7 recovery media? If so, boot to that, enter advance options and do a system restore or boot fix (boot fix is your last option if using a Windows 7 recovery img). This might fix the boot but, the okr system is broken for good unless you purchase recovery disks.

  • Halts at Windows splash screen

    My rig is halting at windows start up. I get 4 green LEDS, can start in safe-mode. On start up i get the "windows was not shut down properly" screen and a choice of start modes, choosing safe works OK. Otherwise the machine stops at he Windows XP x64 splash screen but the screen is very dark. There are no disks in any removable drives. The machine was shut down normally yesterday. I did install AVAST home edition a few day ago. Don't want to re-install Windows.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey... remember this old story... Well it's turned into a nightmare on this end.
    I've RMA's the video card, and the motherboard, replaced the power supply. I've got the same exact error:
    safe mode -OK
    safe mode with VGA - LOCK UP!
    both XP - 32 and 64
    I'm left with CPU or RAM. OR... one of the manufacturers sent me the same exact part right back. Oodly the motherboards date and time are as wrong as when I RMA'd it.
    Still stuck any help would be greatly appreciated.
