Hello Everyone Since about 2 days i got this error when i start my computer up. It keeps it on this screen forever. When i then hold the starup button for 5 seconds, it shuts down, and when i then startup, it works... but when i then restart it again, it don't works.... So does any of you have tips for me? Thanks
They got mine too My windows cpu when i start it up it say restoring and just stays on thst screen forever
From what I can see, thats an older type of monitor. Have you considered that soon enough you may need to press the off button, permanently?
I'm pretty sure he means that it is an older computer, and may not be properly functioning. Consider getting a new one in the near future.
Be glad my laptop's keyboard and tracpad both had power surges. It literally fried the board so i am stuck using my touch mouse and on screen keyboard.
When you say 'Forever' does it stay at that screen? Or does it just take a long time? If it stays at that screen either your BIOS is corrupted or you need a fresh install of the OS that you prefer. If it's just taking a long time I'd recommend cleaning some junk out of your hard drive. To improve start up times also you should invest in a SSD, or Solid State Drive. They improve start up times dramatically.
Yeah you'll probably need a fresh install of your OS than. I'd take it to Staples or a computer hardware store though and ask for their opinion as well. I share your frustration though, when I was building this computer that I'm on right now, I had that same exact problem. I just needed to do a fresh install and I was set . Hope you get it fixed!
Yeah re-install Vista if you can. Before it starts booting I believe there's a screen where it says press f8 (may be different for you) to enter boot menu or something like that.
F12 But i don't have a disk for Vista... i got this computer for free from my teacher, go 2 extra RAM cards, and it become a (almost) free gaming PC (lol no i don't have a disk for Win7 aswell ) EDIT: i don't have a USB stick for 100GB xD
My first guess would be a flat bios battery. When you turn it on it may be detecting/reseting the default bios settings and when you restart it it starts normally as there is still enough juice in the battery to hold the settings for a few seconds. If it is bios related a reinstall of your OS will not solve the problem, it would be like putting petrol in a car which has a flat battery. Flat bios battery or corrupted bios may be the issue, I would try a battery replacement (relatively cheap), and if problem not solved flash the bios with an updated version (potentially technical and possibly risky).
