Windows shut down - restart attempt fails
ParisArkw, on Sunday May 4, 2008 10:11:19 PMDesperate need of help! My laptop froze and I had to manually shut it off to restart it. When it restarted it came up with the black screen/white letters that reads:
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully...etc..."
And it gave me options as to continue in "Safe Mode" and to continue normally...I've tried each of the options and each one results in a blue screen that flashes really quickly with white words but my computer shuts off automatically, not giving me time to read any of it. It restarts on its own and does the same thing. I've tried not selecting anything and letting it "start windows" in its own "in 30 seconds". And still it goes to the blue screen.
So I grabbed my camera and recorded it so I could pause and read it. What I see is that:
"A problem has occurred and Windows has been shut down to protect damage to your [somethingorother]."
And then it says that it could be because of hardware/software that's been unproperly downloaded or something and to make sure that it's downloaded correctly. But I can't get on the computer to do that! (Keeps shutting off after that.) Is this fixable? I can say goodbye to the computer - but I can't say goodbye to the files!!! Are they rescuable to put onto another computer somehow if it can't be fixed? Please help.

| akkosh, on Monday May 5, 2008 01:46:01 PM hi, I've just read it right now but sorry i don't have an answer for this case right now i can investigate for this but honestly not today ..
by the way am here just to tell you that about the point of rescuing your files , i think it s possible by just reading your hardisk via another computer as i think that the problem is related to H/W or Win Bug so that the availability of retaining your files is high.

| vic, on Monday June 2, 2008 05:57:22 PM The same thing is happening to my laptop and I am freaking out b/c I have tons of pictures and documents on there that I never backed up anywhere. Did you get your problem resolved or find a way to rescue your files? |
| danie, on Monday June 9, 2008 10:59:31 PM I am having the EXACT same problem too! Did you guys get it fixed yet? I'd REALLY appreciate any help. I too recorded the blue screen that flashes before it restarts to see if i could use the internet to find out what it's doing and why but no help yet. (although it did get me to this forum! so hopefully it did!) I'm losin my mind here.......

| Heathy, on Tuesday June 10, 2008 03:15:11 PM I have a Sony VAIO and it keeps saying its found new hardware USB PC Camera and it isnt plugged in. I installed the camera then it just played up from there with the blue screen. It is driving me mad and i need to know how to resolve it before i lose my temper. It must be a corrupted webcam i suppose but none the less i need to know how to resolve it. |
| Kell, on Saturday June 14, 2008 12:28:40 AM I'm running a diagnostic of the Hard drive on my HP Pavilion dv6000 due to the same problem, I'll update in 41 minutes as to if its sucessful or not. |
| danielle, on Monday June 16, 2008 01:40:31 AM ok here's what i did to finally get it (my laptop) to boot up. i downloaded the microsoft memory diagnostic tool (from microsoft.com) with another computer onto a cd. on my problem laptop i changed the BIOS setting to read the DVD first, then floppy, then hard drive, so i could boot from the cd. (to change the BIOS setting after you turn the computer on keep tapping F8 to get to the BIOS menu, go to boot, then prioritize, depending on your system. thats how i changed it in mine). ok, so once the setting was changed to read the DVD drive first, i shut the computer down, inserted the CD with the tool program in the DVD drive, and restarted it. after it did its thing for a few it went right into running the memory checks. unfortunately, that seems to be the propblem with my computer (all the tests failed) but once all six packets were completed, i exited from the test (it will continue to run until you exit it) and surprizingly it finally brought my to my log in screen. once i logged in i was able to save my data to an external hard drive, just in case it was the last chance i had. i did remove the CD once i logged in (if you leave it in the computer will consistently run the diagnostic on turn on) and after i saved the data i shut down the computer to see if i could log in normally now, and i was able to (i left the BIOS setting to DVD first). i didn't get the error message again that wouldn't allow me to log in but my original problem, the blue screen of death, was still there. thankfully i was able to get the data off my computer and brought the laptop in for service, still under warranty. i hope this helped someone out there. i know how frustrating it is.

| danielle, on Monday June 16, 2008 01:46:30 AM PS-my original problem started a few months back and it was getting the blue screen, intermittently and with no apparent common factors, and the computer would shut down then restart, but i was able to log in most of the time before i got another blue screen. then recently, i got this exact problem, and was unable to log in at all. and you know where i went from here....... |

| MW95, on Friday July 4, 2008 01:00:57 AM My system restarted after a Blue Screen of Death, and now I'm faced with a Bad PBR error. The Dell guys don't know where their mouse is, let alone the cause of the error, and I need help. i'm not in a position to buy any new hard drive or something, and I want to retrieve my 200 GB of data with hundreds of dollars of software without burning out my DVD burner and filling up my cabinets with DVDs. What can I do? |
| try this, on Friday July 4, 2008 01:43:52 AM your cd drive or another component may be on th same IDE warning channel, try disconnecting it and restarting with just the bare essentials, harddrive, mouse, keyboard, etc..

| jym, on Saturday July 5, 2008 03:32:42 PM I have same symptoms, just started last night, Gateway desktop. It shut down by itself and, upon manual (push the button) restart, black then blue screens then shuts off again. Safe mode same action, tried disabling automatic restart, no impact. Seems like trouble, a dozen or so discrete users with same problem... |
| Hels, on Monday July 7, 2008 06:01:48 AM Am also having the same problem and have not been able to find any info on this. Would love to hear if anyone solves it!
It has been suggested to me that it may be a virus. I had installed a router and used the laptop once again after that. It was slow shutting down and since then it refuses to start. So not sure if it is the router that has caused it or something more sinister! |
| Satish, on Wednesday July 9, 2008 06:59:30 AM Hi my name is Satish
I saw your problem, the problem is your laptop BIOS setting. to solve this problem go to BIOS setting,in that Harddisk u select the IDE. By default it will take AHCI which will support for the Sata harddisk. Just change that option with the IDE. your problem will get solve. Acknowledge the receipt. Satish G< |
