Question

My computer wont get past the windows start up screen?

Answer 1

You've gotten a plague. You're going to have got to reinstall the OS, get your whole candies off first or you will lose them. If you take your laptop to a shop, tell them to avoid wasting your goodies, and i will wager big apple to a brick you have a vain free AV

Answer 2

When the laptop first switches on, start tapping the F8 key on the keyboard.



THis should bring you to the safe mode menu. From the menu choose "Disable automatic restart on system failure"



This will not fix the machine, but instead of restarting it will display an error (possibly what is known as the blue screen of death).

2. Click Programs | Uninstall a Program.

3. Select a program that you wish to remove.

4. Click Uninstall button.

5. Follow the wizard.

6. Do these procedures for the other programs that you wish to remove.

Answer 6

When you power it on, keep pressing F8 until you get the option to boot up into safe mode.



This may allow Windows to figure out what is wrong and correct itself.



If it doesn't boot up in safe mode, then at least the text scrolling up will tell you where the problem lies. Example: if it goes no further than MUP.sys, you may have a keyboard issue (more commonly found on desktops, but this is an example of what to look up online).



Also, in most cases this is a software issue and not a hardware one. More often than not using the restore partition or partition CD's will fix the problem. If you don't have one, then you can just get a Windows CD (of whatever flavor is listed in the COA Sticker and Registration Key) and install from scratch.

Answer 7

Try detaching and then reattaching the battery.
