boot

When I boot and login, I initially get connected to my home network. But then I see that the network connection is dropped. The only way out is rebooting and then surprisingly every things goes flawlessly, I see my 2 network drives Z: and Y: and I get connected to internet. Does it ring a bell...

Hi This morning when I booted my computer I got a message, "Your computer did not boot correctly, starting repair". It then went to a window that said "Repairing" after a minute or so it rebooted and started the whole thing over again. After messing with it for a while I decided to just...

Hi. I am having a problem with a brand new computer from day one. I ordered a new computer from a reputable manufacturer with an ASUS X99 motherboard, Samsung EVO 850 SSD hard drive, Geforce 980GTX and 16 MB of system memory. After the very first boot which was successful I am experiencing...

Hello everyone, I'm having a very strange problem (atleast it looks like one for me): when I bootup my computer, only the wallpaper shows. No taskbar, no icons. But the strangest part of this is that when I open up the Task Manager, I can clearly see that there's explorer.exe proccess. If I...

I am trying to demo Ubuntu, the latest Non Beta version as of 1/28/2015 on the Dell OptiPlex, but how can I do so? I thought I would have to change the boot sequence to have the USB on top, but that didn't seem to work at all.

I have a HP windows 8.1 laptop. Yesterday it was working fine, but today it's not. It starts up to the part where it requires your password fine, but after I type in my password, it loads for a moment then goes to a grey screen and won't work. I haven't done anything to it so it seems very...

Hi I've posted about issues I've had with my sound not starting, and my printer not printing and I've had a few other issues I haven't posted about. Well I think I've found the cause of at least some of them. I noticed that when I reboot the computer the start sound plays but when I boot the...

I cannot access the BIOS of my laptop using any function button. When I remove the hard drive and thereby force the system to enter the BIOS I noticed an exclamation mark before boot menu in the boot order list. Since the ! stands for inaccessible hardware i assume there are some problems with...

How do I get my laptop to boot again? I'm new to Windows 10 Technical Preview, Ubuntu, and dual-booting, but I was able to successfully set up dual-booting on my laptop by following the advice to install Windows 10 first, then Ubuntu 14.04 so that the latter OS’s boot-loader would be the...

I Just found and tried this, it's so simple and works great. No need to change it in BIOS and reinstall OS or do the regedit method. To change IDE/SATA mode to AHCI from with in windows. Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig). Click...

Hi everyone. For a long while now my computer freezes completely when left unattended. All the while it is being used, it's fine and I can use it continually to do resource intense tasks as well as less demanding tasks without issue. BUT, the moment to step away to make a cuppa... come back and...

The hibernation attempt in my MAC book Air running Windows 7 with SP1, by pressing the power button gently, works ok for 70% time and puts PC into hibernation. But on 30% occasions, only screen goes off, but computer remains ON with my being able to change caps lock on and off. This forces me to...

What causes Scripting? Why does it take forever for a Website page to finish downloading so that you can scroll down the page? One thing I did was replace my HDD 500G with a SSD 240G. Could this be a contributor to this problem? The SSD is great for fast boot up.

Whenever I shut down or reboot Windows7 I get a message that Windows is applying update 9 of 13, but the "update" never gets "applied" and Windows7 just hangs supposedly trying to apply it. Yet when I subsequently boot into Windows7 and look a Windows Update there are no important updates...

When I hit the "F2" key to boot, it is forever stuck at the initializing system diagnostics screen. I tried running it in safe mode as well. Am I going about this wrong? Can I change the SATA settings in a different boot menu? I'm running the newest update of Windows 8, HP pavilion envy dv7 8 GB...

My Vista OS on Dell 1525 cycles to "Windows Error Recovery" no matter what changes or selections are made; in Boot selection or Set Up. I cannot get to the reinstalling disk. It's dead in the water. HELP Underwire

Awhile ago I had a booting issue. Finally got to a point where my PC would boot, but noticed I totally 'lost' 1 of 3 1TB SATA drives I have installed PLUS a partition on my C drive is gone. About 1 week or two ago there were several updates to install. After rebooting my drive and partition...

Hello, I have Windows Vista installed on my computer. I am going to install Windows 10 64-Bit from a Flash Drive. When I boot from the flash drive to install windows 10, will it give me an option to partition the drive so I can keep Windows Vista? Thanks Geza

Okay, when I turn on my Win7 (64bit), it will take a while to turn on, and then it'll sign in. After that, however, it bluescreens within seconds/minutes. I can try to restart the computer by unplugging it for long enough for it to forget the last session, and not to reload it. However, while it...

This is more of a cosmetic question than a "I seriously need help" one. Nevertheless, I appreciate any insight your may be able to offer about the nature of this issue. When Win 7 is first booting one ordinarily sees the 4-color animated "flower". However, recently the gui animation during this...
