Poesia [ ] T Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ok my 120z is tripping also on this computer when i would log in it was showing the thread from like 1 month ago.

Ill try those after the defragment or should i try those other ones first. spywareblaster is good to have. it just blocks anything on its list. try that powerdefragmenter i posted (majorgeeks link) it's faster than winblows defragmenter. and get firefox if you don't already have it (can wait until after defrag) IE sucks and is slow.

poes Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 im so pissed off, a little help please? I have an HP pavilion laptop. running vista. Last night it restarted after installing some update. It rebooted and said 'Configuring update', this finished. then 'welcome' popped up. at this point it froze. i waited about 15 mins and nothing. little loading egg-timer circle thing was frozen. so i held down the power button to turn off. Now when i turn it on, the laptop itself turns on (as in the lights come on, you can hear it etc) but nothing loads. the screen just stays black. it also sounds like it is repeatedly trying to access the cd drive. Is there anything i can do? it wont even begin to load so theres little to work with. I hate laptop,s its only about 2 months old, i want to throw it out the window.

poes Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 it just ocured to me that perhaps this is the point, where you would use a start up disk, i dunno ive never used one before. im not sure if i have one because im not living at home anymore. if so, am i fucked?

KM4RT Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 hey poes, you will need your windows vista dvd, put it in your comp and start it up, there will be a couple of screens come up, at the one that says "install windows" DO NOT click it, there should be a icon that says "repair computer" (or something similar). click on that. then i cant remember the next thing. but there should be a screen that lets you choose a "system restore" point. choose a restore point before you computer fucked up. and thats it. and you wont loose your stuff.

Seffiks Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 well first lets try this poes when you boot the computer press f2 key this will bring up the BIOS/CMOS in there select boot settings and set it to boot from harddrive save and leave when the splash screen comes up start pressing the F8 key if you are unable to get anything to come up power it down and back up again and press the F8 Key and you will get a screen with a list if it does not come up try using the safemode option and run the system recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poes Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 thanks i will try contacting HP. the problem is when i turn the power on, the power lights come on etc. but the screen stays black. it doesnt load anything at all. theres no way of getting to the safe mode menu. or anything. you turn it on. u can hear the fan and the cd drive. but other than that nothing happens. The screen stays the same colour as if the laptop was still off. not even a flicker or anything. its weird. theres pretty much nothing i can do as the only options i have are turn it on. then turn it off.

Seffiks Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 some nerd shit right here If you want proof that open source is turning the world on its head, look no further than this announcement that Dell will be distributing Solaris on select Dell PowerEdge servers. Said Jonathan Schwartz, CEO of Sun: A third of Solaris users are running Dell systems. Our customers love working with Dell, and this is an opportunity that began from the customer base. The big message is you've got a lot more choice this year than last year. Sun moves downstream in terms of hardware while Dell moves upstream in terms of software. Innovation (of business models and of technology) meets in the middle. http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9817891-16.html?tag=rsspr.6218711&part=rss&subj=news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seffiks Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Internet search leader Google will install its maps feature at some gas stations next month. About 3,500 gas pumps will be fitted with an Internet connection and a small color screen. You can type in where you want to go, and the pump will display a map. It will even print directions for you. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16211965&ft=1&f=1019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
