7 home premium, and is hp pavilion g laptop with intel i3 processer. i have searched through forums and nothing has helped to make it work it just never runs its stuck there forever and i cant access anything on that pc

Hi,
First, you can  try to repair your Windows 7 systems to login:
Restart Computer and continue to click F8, you would enter into WIN RE, choose the
repair computer option--->System Recovery Optionsà Select the
Startup Repair option. Then Startup Repair will now scan your computer to attempt to find and fix any startup problems.
After repair computer, I would suggest you to put the computer in Clean Boot and check which non Microsoft program is causing the issue. To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Finally, after you fix it up, you can make
Steps for Normal startup:
1. Click
Start, and then click Run.
2. Type
msconfig, and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box is displayed.
3. Click the
General tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services, and then click
OK.
4. When you are prompted, click
Restart to restart the computer.
You may also install the latest display drivers and device drivers compatible for Windows 7.

  • How to do a security wipe if phone is stuck on start-up screen and your micro-usb port is also broken?

    Good day
    A week or so ago, my  phone just out of the blue decided that it would not initiate fully anymore.  It was laying on charge and when i took it off after an hour or so, it just stuck on the service provider's screen before saying "loading personal settings".  I was informed that my os needed to be reinstalled, the problem is, my usb port ion my phone is also broken.  I took the phone in to a repair guy, but he wants to ask me an idiotic price to fix it and says he is able to do so without using my usb port?  Is there any way you can wipe your Blackberry 8520 and reinstall an O.S if your usb port on the phone is broken?  Please, this is a matter of life and death as there are a hell of a load of contacts, documents and emails i would like to save, but if not able to, I can handle that too, just need the phone to work, it's of the highest importance!
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Juan 

    I take it that you do not have a recent back up of your phone's data?
    Try starting your 8520 in Safe Mode.
    Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
    If you can do that, you can get to the Security wipe function, but without a good USB port, I am not sure how you're going to load the OS. But try Safe Mode first.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

    I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
    My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
    for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
    I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
    Thanks!

    Hi friends of the internet
    I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
    My Case:
    Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
    Computer used: Samsung laptop
    Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
    See the specks here:
    http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
    Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
    First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
    http://
    hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
    STOP AFTER STEP 13!
    1. Open a command line in administrator mode
    2. run DISKPART
    3. type LIST DISK
    4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
    5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
    6. type CLEAN
    7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
    8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
    9. type ACTIVE
    10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
    11. type assign
    12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
    13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
    Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
    (Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
    Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
    Delete the e:\efi folder
    Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
    Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
    Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
    Resume the guide from step 18.:
    http://
    hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
    18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
    UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
    My bios setup was:
    Secure Boot = Disable
    OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
    Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
    The installation should start normal.
    E.g. See this guide:
    www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
    What I did was:
    Select custom installation (Advanced).
    Click Drive options (Advanced).
    Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
    Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
    Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
    Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
    I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
    All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
    By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
    Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
    J.
    NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
    Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
    Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
    Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
    If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
    If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
    go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
    Then type notepad setupact.log
    Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
        Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
    It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
    To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
    Open the command prompt.
    Type: DISKPART
    Type: List Disk
    See for the star (*) in the GPT column

  • Stuck at "Starting Windows" after Deployment

    Hello. I recently updated my MDT to 2013 as well as added the Windows assessment and deployment kit for Windows 8.1. Since then, I have one particular .wim image that I can't seem to deploy using MDT. It continuously gets stuck at "Starting Windows"
    after it's first reboot from the deployment window. I have enabled logging and see this error appear quite often, but I'm not sure if that helps. I can provide the logs if needed.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates

    HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates.  Upgraded to Windows 7 X64 from Vista X64 almost two years ago.  Have never had any problems until morning of April 12th.  I will cut to the final resolution to help anyone else who is going through this or will in the future.  After trying to repair Win7, restoring back to factory recovery (got code purple), installing clean Vista 64 and trying upgrade to Windows 7 again, formatting drive using /p:2 option of writing 0's twice to whole drive and then doing a clean install of Win7 only to get to the same place of being stuck at "Starting Windows", I tried a trick I had read about.  Boot to safe mode, you will get an error that you can complete install from safe mode. Don't close window but hit Shift-F10 and a cmd prompt will open.  Type in compmgmtlauncher and choose Device Manager.  Disable the Visx PureTV-U 48B0 under Sound, Video and Game controllers.  Reboot computer and Win7 complete installation.  Since I was able to get into Safe mode back on April 12th, I should have tried disabling everything then, but since it was working without problems before the updates, I couldn't believe that it was any of the devices.  I have not been able to get around this issue with the tv-tuner, but I don't have a need for it right now for it.  I saw a tip to try moving it to another pci slot and I will try that if I ever have a need to open the computer.  Just wanted to document what to do to save others weeks of searching.  If this is a driver issue, I can't believe HP or Windows hasn't come up with a more current driver.  During all of the installs, I never get a yellow triangle for that device or any indication in Event log or anywhere that there was a problem with this device.

    I had a similar issue with mine not working properly running Windows 7 Ultimate.   Mine was working just fine for quite some time and then I moved my system into our TV room and hooked it up to the television, and used it there.   Everything worked fine, I then returned it to the normal location but did not plug the IR sensor back in.
    I had issues with it, I then plugged it back in and it seemed to be working fine, then started to freeze while we were working on it, it would do this all the time.  I was thinking I had virus, I tried restoring windows to a previous working state.  Upgrading my Virus software and everything.   This was all back in October 2011.  I finally just thought my system was going out after a number of years. 
    Then the other day for some reason I moved the IR sensor from one plug to the other.  It is currently plugged into the bottom right USB port next to the RJ45 port.   It seems to be working just fine now and I don't have the device you suggested disabled, though I will keep that in mind.
    Thanks for you post, Hope mine helps too.

    On OSX Lion i used to drag the window to the top of the screen and get it maximise, and drag the window right or left to show the both beside each other just like windows 7, How to do it on Mountain lion ?

    That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability.  i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

  • HELP!!! iPod is stuck on black screen and wont work!!!

    I've had my nano for 2 years and it's gotten locked up and I pressed buttons until it worked, but never like this! For the past 3 days my ipod has been stuck on a black screen, and I made sure it wasn't on hold. I've been plugging it into EVERYTHING!! My iHome, my wall plug-in, and my computer but it never works! When I plugged it into my computer, it didn't even detect an ipod plugged in! After that I hit random buttons for half and hour. So, before I throw it out the window in a fit of rage, any advice?!

    Have you tried pressing the menu button and the center button at the same time?
    If you hold them down for about ten or so seconds the gray apple will appear and things will start working again..
    The same thing happened to me today Lucky me I work with an I pod Crew and they helped get it running

  • My Ipod is stuck on the apple screen, and i've tried EVERYTHING

    Let me vent a bit before my question:
    I have had my Ipod Nano sent in 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR.
    But they keep sending the original product back, still in non-functioning condition.
    So, I sent it one more time.
    I got it back today.
    I plug it into my computer, and after about 45 minutes, my computer FINALLY recognizes it.
    So I figure we're back in business.
    Then, I start to update, and its says that it can't because it can't be read or something. (after it said it updated like 10 songs or something)
    So then I reset the Ipod.
    Now its stuck on the apple screen and I can't get it off.
    I am so frusterated, you can't even imaginnnneeeeee how ****** off I am.
    This freaking Ipod has been in shipping more then actual play time.
    So then I made another request just now for repair, and it says that it already has a repair out, but my ipod just got back today..
    So.
    Could you please help me out here? I'm a little erked.
    Thanks, Caitlin.

    have you tried connecting it to a/c power and not USB? Resetting in both cases? Letting the power drain? Ipod firmware updater?
    I would call them again and get a supervisor or something.

  • Installed Leopard. Stuck on start-up screen. What do I do now?

    I just bought my friend leopard from the apple store yesterday. I installed it on his computer this evening successfully. After the installation, it got stuck on the start up screen with the apple logo and the circle loading icon when it restarted. My friend and I waited about 20 minutes into the start up screen. So I panicked and try to reinstall it again and the same thing happened. I don't know what to do. Should leave the computer on the start up screen and wait till it does something? or Should I bring it to the Genius Bar and have them figure it out?

    I had a similar problem. My system would hang on startup on the Apple logo.
    My problem was that the permissions on my hard drive were set wrong.
    "Everyone" was set to "none" and it should be "read only"
    I connected my mac to another mac with a firewire cable so that I could access its hardrive (I booted up holding the "T" key). Once I had access to my drive, I selected "Get Info" on it and then changed the permissions on "everyone" to "read only" (I had to click the lock, then change my "owner" to my user name to make the changes then I set the "owner" back to "system")
    Hopefully you have a similar problem.

    Hey Christian,
    I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
    All the best,
    David
