T400 with Windows 7 hangs on boot

This problem crops up every couple of months. After installing something, including Windows updates, the thing appears to re-boot properly. However it hangs immediately as soon as I try to launch any application. Nothing at all works. Sometimes I can re-boot in safe mode and roll back the system, but sometimes the only way to get the thing working is to hand it over to the techs who re-install Windows. Has anybody else seen this problem? I have googled it for months but come up empty. Thanks.

run the hdd diagnostic tool from the bios menu.

  • T400 with windows xp

    I've ordered T400 with windows vista(without XP downgrade). Will I be able to install windows xp on it? I mean will you provide drivers for windows xp too? I understand hybrid graphics switching does not work on XP but apart from that, will there be XP drivers for sound, graphics, card slots etc. ?
    another quick question, can I expect 3 hours of battery life with a 4 cell battery in balanced mode with wifi, bluetooth on?
    thank you.

    I'm reviving this post since I'm having the same issue.  Windows XP and hangs on during shutdown.  Yesterday I installed around 30 updates using the ThinkVantage program. Maybe is the Power Management Driver, BIOS update, who knows.  Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I also have same exect problem for my T400 (after installing new audio driver).
    No fixes found yet, but system restore (prior to new audio driver installation) at safemode worked for me.
    (since windows can't shutdown normally on regular mode).
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Windows XP hangs on boot, computer heats up

    Hi,
    I recently had my Nvidia card replaced in my Mac Book Pro, OSX 10.4.11 and since then tried to boot up Windows XP with Bootcamp. Windows XP hangs on booting and the computer heats up incredibly quickly. Does anyone know why I can't boot in Windows or how to fix this? The mac partition works fine and I can access my documents etc from windows through the mac side. But I do need to run certain programs on Windows. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    first thing I would try are the Safe Boot Options of XP described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11 and especially the 'enable VGA' option to ensure that XP is okay.
    While in Safe Boot maybe deinstalling the Nvidia graphics driver currently installed can help.
    Might be that because of the replacement, the new one isn't correctly detected.
    Hope it helps

  • Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
    Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
    Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

  • Creating recovery media for T400 with Windows 7

    I have a brand new T400 with Windows 7 Pro in factory condition.  I purchased a larger hard drive and extra RAM to install myself.  I successfully added the RAM, but I'm having trouble creating the recovery media to transfer to the new hard drive.  When I go to ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery, I only have the option to create Rescue Media, not Recovery Discs.  I was able to create 1 CD with the Rescue and Recovery media on it, but not the OS, applications, etc.
    Am I missing something?  Is there a way for me to create the Recovery discs and thus actually use the hard drive I bought (and have back up in the event of a hard drive failure)?
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Coyotered, welcome to the forum,
    as you have a factory install you should see in the start menu an entry for Lenovo Tools, has three red blobs as an Icon, click on it and it will open a window offering you several options including creating restore media. Alternatively you can open Computer and double click the Q drive, this should then offer you the opportunity to create the discs.

  • I bought macbook pro at cash america used and loaded with windows 7 ultimate by boot camp.My questions is it has mountain lion loaded but original ower has name with password so how can I reload so I can sign on as administrator for downloads and upgrades

    I bought a 13 inch macbook pro9.2 at Cash America with windows 7 Ultimate with boot camp program.
    The Mac op sytem has Mountain Lion installed but the previous ower has his name and password attached to it and can only use as guest.
    My question is how do I get around this to be administrator to reload software so i can use mountain Lion,and not loose the windows op .

    If you reformat the partition that contain Mountain Lion and reinstall Mountain Lion, it should not effect the Windows pratition.
    Have said that I suggest you backup everything you might want to save just in case.

  • Mac Mini stuck with windows install, won't boot from OSX DVD

    Ok, I just bought this mac mini from ebay, yeah i know but it was cheap. I got it and it came with windows xp installed. I thought ok, I will just pop in my snow leopard disk and get rid of windows. so i put in retail new copy of snow leopard in the drive, shutdown, power on, hold C... grey screen for a little while then into windows boot screen. Thought ok, I will try reset pram, option + command + p + r, nothing... just boots into windows. I have tried to original osx 10.4 restore disks that came with the machine with the same results. I also tried holdind D during boot with the original disks and it still does the same thing.
    I have also tried holding down option during boot, thinking it would give me my boot options, nothing still goes into windows. I am using a new aluminum white keyed usb apple keyboard and apple optical mouse, all plugged into the back of the machine.
    I don't know what to do next, if I can't find the solution it looks like i am going to have to take this thing apart and yank the drive and format it on my other machine with osx partition.
    thanks

    There's a couple more options yet.
    First, try a different USB keyboard.
    Second, when in Windows use the Bootcamp system tray utility to choose bootup from the OSX partition. You can install the Bootcamp system tray utility from the SL disk.
    Third, if you have another Mac and an appropriate firewire cable, bring the Mini up in Target Disk Mode and blat the disk that way.

  • Lion and snow leopard bootcamp, after installing lion snow leopard bootcamp with windows 7 does not boot

    Just installed Lion OS  on my 2nd mac (on the 1st without an issue) but as I had a partition with windows 7 (installed with Snow Leopard bootcamp).
    It seems that Lion OS renamed the Bootcamp partition but I am not able to rename it through OS.
    Is there a solution for this or do I need to re-install?
    Many thanks for your help

    Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
    mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that  you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition    i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

  • Multiple ethernet networks show and the internet doesn't function on T400 with windows 7 64bit

    Hello all we are having an issue with several T400 notebooks which i hope someone can help with.
    the first symptom is no internet connection on the wired port-wireless has been turned off so it doesn't interfere with testing.
    the network and sharing center shows multiple networks on the local area connection, one work (a domain), one public why the public one is there i don't know.
    ipconfig shows it is getting an ip and dns through dchp and they are proper but two gateways are showing up one proper the other 0.0.0.0 this is where it is dying (i think)
    i've done a route -p delete 0.0.0.0 but it doesn't persist through reboots for some reason.
    so every reboot you have to run the route -p delete (administrative cmd prompt required) and then a release and renew and it works properly until it is next rebooted.
    Does anyone know a way to get rid of the 2nd network?  Beside the "public network" shows local area connection same as beside the work network if i disable one it disables the adapter and neither works.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Problems with Windows install and erasing Boot camp partition.

    I recently decided I'd try running a copy of XP on my Macbook, the only reason being that the software for my OU work is only available on Windows. I used Boot camp assistant to partition my hard drive which went smoothly. When I tried to install Windows, I get to the Windows install screen, and it says "Press enter to begin installation". Unfortunately, my keyboard doesn't seem to work, so obviously I can't begin the installation. I've tried using my old Apple USD keyboard, but it didn't make any difference. I thought I'd try the whole process from scratch, but found I can't erase the original partition. I've read that you should use Boot camp assistant again, but when I press the continue key, I get the message:
    "The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    Does anybody know a way of sorting either of these problems out? Much appreciated.

    I've been doing a bit more reading into the problem. I think the keyboard problem's because I'm not using the SP2 version on XP. So hopefully once I get a copy, I should be able to sort it. But I still can't seem to use BCA to erase the partition.

  • Windows 7 hangs on Boot up with smartboard USB plugged in.

    Hi All
    I am having a problem with our dual booting Imacs. When we boot up into windows 7 the mac just hangs for about 5 minutes. I have narrowed this down to our smartboards being plugged into the mac once we remove the USB it boots up no problems with no hangs.
    We have updated boot camp to 3.2 and updated the device drivers to the latest version but it still hangs.
    Has anyone come across this problem before? Or a similar problem?
    Any help appreciated.
    Scott

    Hi Erica
    No it is not a mass storage device it is a smartboard which is plugged in. Do you think this could be a drivers problem?

  • Windows 7 hangs from boot menu

    Hi,
    my Windows 7 partition refuses to start from boot menu, system just hangs and does nothing. I've not made any changes to the disk layout, only thing I can think of is the upgrade to 10.9.4 which probably changed the recovery partition.
    History:
    - iMac Mavericks 10.9.3 with boot camp 5.1.2 and Windows 7, used to start into Windows by pressing Alt on start up, then reboot from Windows menu or from Windows boot camp application into OS X and back without problems
    - installed the 10.9.4 Build 13E28 upgrade some days ago
    - Change today: rebooted from the boot camp system tray app into OS X, worked without a problem
    - reboot from OS X into boot menu, select Windows 7 partition, system hangs
    I've found this thread, describing a similar problem Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition I think, however since my Index output only lists 4 partitions I think my problem might be a bit different.

    I guess something mixed up the MBR since I would have expected line 4 of the fdisk output to show something 'Windows' like instead of HPFS/QNX/AUX, but even if that is correct, the question is how can the boot problem be fixed?
    The Windows partition is accessible from OS X, so copying the data is not a problem if everything else fails. As far as I remember, the boot camp version in windows is 3.3 (it's an older iMac model).
    GDisk is available, command line not a problem, if you need any further info let me know, any help appreciated.
    thanks,

    Hi,
    > Does the Bootcamp partition show up in Finder and can you see files in it?
    Yes, the partition shows up in Finder and I can see and copy files.
    > In Disk Utility, does the Bootcamp partition report as NTFS?
    Yes it does, "Get Info" from Finder also reports it as a NTFS volume.
    > Do you have any third party NTFS drivers?
    Yes I have, Paragon NTFS tools.
    > If you hold the ALT key can you boot into Windows?
    No, system just hangs and needs to be rebooted via power-off.
    > If you came from 10.9.3 to 10.9.4, the Recovery HD should have existed under 10.9.3.
    Yes it did, I did a clean install from USB media when Mavericks came out, the Recovery HD is also visible - and has been - in the boot menu.
    > The one strange part is that your volume says "Windows 7". Were any diskutil commands run to change volume names?
    No, just a left click on the Volume Name in Finder and then change Bootcamp to Windows 7.

    So, you think running the Windows startup repair will fix the problem? Is there something that I should be aware of in terms of interfering with the OS X partition?

  • T400 with Windows XP, freezes on shutdown

    Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo T400 laptop (originally with vista) and installed Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers one by one from the lenovo website, and verything works nicely- except for one hitch. When I go to shutdown or restart, it starts shutting down and then at the screen "windows is shutting down" everything freezes in place. I cant move the mouse and it won't shutdown no matter how much time I give it. So I have to manually shut it down using the power button. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before and know of a fix? Thanks very much,
    Thio

    I'm reviving this post since I'm having the same issue.  Windows XP and hangs on during shutdown.  Yesterday I installed around 30 updates using the ThinkVantage program. Maybe is the Power Management Driver, BIOS update, who knows.  Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I also have same exect problem for my T400 (after installing new audio driver).
    No fixes found yet, but system restore (prior to new audio driver installation) at safemode worked for me.
    (since windows can't shutdown normally on regular mode).
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Windows XP hangs while booting

    Hi everybody
    I am currently experiencing severe Windows XP SP2 boot problems!
    My system is a MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz. Here is some more system Information:
    * Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
    * Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B02
    * SMC Version: 1.16f8
    * RAM: 4GB
    I have installed MacOS X (10.5.1) and Bootcamp. In addition I have installed Windws XP SP2 (German). Currently use and have installed NO additional hardware drivers apart from the BootCamp ones.
    The system hangs sporadically when I boot (using Boot camp) under windows. Windows XP freezes mostly during the initial startup (before the log-in). Sometimes however it freezes after I have logged in and have performed a few operations. These hang-ups happen almost 95% percent of the time. Yet after a couple of new starts and safe mode boots I am able to log in. I would also like to mention that I cannot log in when I boot at safe mode because the built-in MBP keyboard does not work; so I just stop at the log in screen and restart.
    thanks for the help in advance

    I just fixed a Dell Inspiron laptop with a similar boot hang problem. The machine would hang if the iPod was plugged in the USB port, or even a powered USB hub. The machine is 5 years old and is USB 1.1
    The machine would hang in the boot sequence right before it would go to Windows start part. I took USB completely out of the boot sequence and that didn't do it. What did do it, based on a suggested fix from a Dell guy.
    With the iPod unplugged, here is the Dell suggestion which might help some but not this Dell (keep reading below for the fix that worked):
    1. Restart the System. (Unplug the IPod from the system)
    2. Tap <F2> at the Dell Logo to access the BIOS.
    3. Go to the Advanced Tab, and disable the USB legacy support.
    4. Save the changes and exit.
    But on the 1100 that I was working on, it had a older bios and used the Alt-P procedure to page through BIOS options. On page 3, there was a USB Emulation option. If you read the description, there is no way one would think that this would have an effect. I changed this to Disabled and that allowed the machine to boot with the iPod plugged in.
    I hope this helps someone. If your machines hangs before windows starts, get into the BIOS and go to work!! Tom [email protected]
