My laptop does not boot it just shows the company logo how do I fix this?
My laptop does not boot it just shows the company logo how do I fix this?You turn the laptop on, and all you see is the logo for the manufacturer of the laptop. Like… it’s a Dell laptop, and when you turn the laptop on, all you see is the word Dell with a circle around it. Maybe it is the HP logo. Maybe it is the Asus logo. Or Acer. I don’t know. However… that’s all you see… right?Here’s what it could be.damaged device connected to the motherboarddamaged component on the motherboardimproperly seated component connected to the motherboard.How do you diagnose this? You disconnect everything you have access to without taking the laptop apart. Remove the optical drive. Remove the wireless card. Remove the keyboard. Disconnect the touchpad. Remove the hard drive. Remove the Ram. Remove the bluetooth if you can.Now. Power the laptop. Does it beep at you in an annoyed fashion? Good. That means it detects that there is no Ram. Feed it one of the sticks of Ram. If you have some Ram from another laptop that you know is good, use that instead. Turn the laptop on. Does it boot, and still stick at the BIOS splash screen (that’s what the screen is called when you are looking at the manufacturer’s logo)? If the problem isn’t something serious on the motherboard, the screen should change to a message about booting to PXE, or that you are missing an operating system, or that no boot device was found, etc. The point is… the screen will change from the logo to something else… which is what we want.IF you get it to show something other than the splash screen, turn it off, and add another device. One. At. A. Time. Turn it off, add a device, and turn it back on. See if it goes past the splash screen.I’ve seen keyboards after a spill keep a machine from booting. I’ve seen dead optical drives cause a machine to not want to boot properly. So. It could be any of them. The only way to find out, is to check them one at a time… which you would be doing if you add them back in one at a time.When you get to the one that hangs the BIOS, you’ve found your issue. If it NEVER gets past the splash screen after you have one stick of Ram… test the other, or like I said use a Known Good stick. Either way… if it never gets past the splash screen, then it is likely a motherboard issue and you’d have to replace that to be functional again.
My laptop is stuck at the 'please wait' screen! I use Windows 8 on an HP Pavilion g6 notebook, 4GB RAM, 1Tb HD. I can't restart it with Alt+Ctrl+Del, and even F8 isn't working. What do I do?
Remove your laptop from crarging and remove its battery then reinsert it and then try bro
What do I do when my Hp laptop Is making a ticking noise?
Ticking noises are typically caused by:1.) Impending hard drive failure.2.) Something obstructing the fan.3.) Issue with the optical drive.Since you didn't specifically mention that the noise happens when you are using a CD or DVD, I assuming it not an optical drive issue.So we will have to isolate the cause between the hard drive and the fan. The easiest way is to do this is to watch out when the noise starts kicking in.Does it start as soon as you start the lappy or does it take a bit of time. If it starts right away, then the issue might be with the fan otherwise it is the hard drive. The reason for this is that when you power on, the computer has to do certain mandatory hardware checks initially before the hard drive comes to play in the start up sequence. For most computers it is between 5 to 15 secs. So if you hear the noise even before the hard drive comes in to play it has to be a fan issue.Another way to determine this is to let the computer idle for a while. If you still hear the noise, then it is the fan because when the computer is idle--the hard drive is idle too. However, the fan is not. So if you hear the noise when the hard drive is not busy then it has to be the fan. You will know if the hard drive is working or not by checking the hard drive light.As suggested by others if you think it is the hard drive, then backup your data immediately and take the lappy to the shop. If you determine it is the fan and you are comfortable opening a laptop, open it and see if something is stuck inside the fan or not. PLEASE DO NOT OPEN YOURSELF IF THE LAPPY IS UNDER SOME KIND OF WARRANTY BECAUSE DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. If you are uncomfortable opening it try compressed air. If the issue still not resolved, time to take a trip to a lappy clinic.P.S.: If your lappy has an preinstalled hardware diagnostics software or if you can get a third-party one run it for a report. They are usually successful in detecting an impending hard drive failure.Hope this helps.
What happens if I turn off my computer during Windows updates?
It's very unpredictable as it depends on what part of the OS the update was working on when you turned the power off. It could render the system unbootable, get stuck in an infinite boot-reboot loop and whatnot.If you are reading this before shutting down your system then there is a neat trick that could solve your problem. Usually if the updater is trying to update USB or DVD drivers, it will be stopped by any device plugged into those ports. It usually stops at 92-99% if this happens. In that case simply remove all peripherals that are not necessary like USB mice, keyboards, pendrives etc and you will notice that the update proceeds in a few minutes.If you are here after the unfortunate incident then not to worry. As of now windows doesn't even know that something is wrong. It tries and tries really hard to find the correct files to boot up but they simply don't exist. So we need to make it realize something has gone wrong and display the recovery options.Boot windows normally and wait for it to get stuck.Then long press your power button to do a hard reset.Repeat this around three to four times and windows will now take you to the troubleshooting window!Select from the options to either refresh your windows, which will leave all personal data untouched, uninstall all non default apps and clear registry, or restore windows from a previous restore point.The latter is your best choice and usually before any major update, windows makes a system restore point. If not then it's your bad luck and the restore point may be well in the past. But it's nothing to fret over because all your personal files will still be there. It's just the windows settings and features that will be old.Good luck! It's windows… you’ll need it :p

My Seagate external hard disk makes a beeping sound whenever I connect it to my laptop. What's the problem?
First of all you should do SMART TEST for your Seagate Hard Disk.Download for your OS from the link belowSeaTools | SeagateInstall and run the software and then run SMART test for your HDD.It will detect most of the problems for your HardDisk.Second the beeping problem you are referring to happens when your Hard Disk lifecycle is about to end.Here is the graph for the lifecycle of the Hard Disks:-It seems that hard drives have three distinct failure “phasesn the first phase, which lasts 1.5 years, hard drives have an annual failure rate of 5.1%. For the next 1.5 years, the annual failure rate drops to 1.4%. After three years, the failure rate explodes to 11.8% per year. In short, this means that around 92% of drives survive the first 18 months, and almost all of those (90%) then go on to reach three years.Graph source :- EXTREME TECH.
Is it bad practice to shut down my laptop quite frequently, like two times a day?
Shutting down and cold booting your machine twice per day will not cause it to wear out any faster, and neither will the alternatives. Hibernating will save you the hassle of re-launch your applications, and standby will provide the convenience of a fast resume (at the expense of keeping the RAM powered).
