Acer :: D250 No Display Until Windows Loads

May 14, 2010

Acer aspire one d250
1 gig of ram, 160GB Hard Drive
intel gma 945 graphics.
windows xp home.

On start up as soon as you first press the power button, there is no display no life at all on the laptop's screen. No POST screen or Windows loading screen. Now after windows have loaded the display appears back on the laptop.

If i hooked up an external monitor and do a cold start i can see everything working the way it should on the external monitor and then as the windows have finished loaded the
image switches back to the laptop screen.

It seems like the bios is using the vga out as the primary video until widows drivers have take over and switch back to the laptops screen. The same happens when the external monitor is hooked up and when it isn't.

There is no option in the bios to change the default screen.

I tried everything i could think of.

FN+F5 key dose nothing until windows have loaded

CTRL + ALT + F1 or F3 (alternative keys for changing the display)

Did a full system recovery(format and reinstalled windows)

Flashed and updated the Bios, From 1.25 to 1.27

removed and reinstalled ram, battery, to draining complete power from the laptop.

2 display drivers show up. I tried removing and disabling them one at a time.

Still no change.

No power, no lights, no display, no nothing on the laptops screen until windows have loaded. After windows have loaded everything works perfect, except when resuming from hibernation, the screen that says resuming from hibernation do not display because the bios is using the vga out as the mains.

After a few seconds the screen lights up and continues to resume as it should.

The netbook has not been dropped one or had any damage what so ever.

Acer Aspire One D250 :: Trying To Install Windows 7 Starter

Dec 2, 2014

I have a problem with my Acer Aspire one D250. One week ago my HDD didnt work and I bought another HDD. I dont have CD for reinstall windows XP that it was installed. Now I wanted to install windows 7 starter but impossible. He says he can not because the BIOS might not be compatible with the operating system and then tells me that if I want to load drivers. I'm a little desperate. I changed in the BIOS mode IDE hard drive to AHCI and vice versa. If I put IDE and try to install windows 7 does not recognize the disk (I have to put in AHCI).
 
The message I get is:You can not install windows on this HDD. It is possible that the hardware of this equipment is not capable of booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. Another warning he gives is:The installation program can not create a new system partition or locate an existing one. See the log files installation program for more information.
 
I updated the BIOS version to the last (1.29).

Acer :: Aspire 9500 Powers Off (possibly Overheats) Before Windows Loads

Mar 28, 2009

Acer Aspire 9504.

First of all it runs in Windows completely rock solid. I have ran stress utilities for over 24 hours, and the system is completely stable.

My problem is that it is very unstable before windows loads. For example, if I simply leave it in the BIOS setup for 5 minutes the computer will just power off. It is also quite hot underneath. This occurs also if I boot from DOS (or other e.g. XP recovery disk) boot disk to run some utilities - the system will run for 5 minutes or so, and then just power off. The time that I get before it powers off decreases if I immediately switch it on again, suggesting an overheating issue. I did not have this problem when I first got the laptop 3 years ago.

This problem is really annoying as I want to run some low-level utilities to repartition my hard disk and also possibly reinstall windows, but this problem is preventing that.

Any ideas? Perhaps some strange software that I installed? ACPI config? Memory issue? BIOS issue? Computer is hot in several areas under where the CPU / TV tuner / graphics / memory are located .

My system spec:
- Pentium M 760 2GHz
- Ati X700 256MB graphics
- 2GB crucial RAM (2 x 1 GB DDR2 533 CL4) (upgraded from 1GB over a year ago and fully tested to be working)
- Newest BIOS from Acer installed

From system information:

OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
OS ManufacturerMicrosoft Corporation................................

Acer :: Aspire One D250

Feb 11, 2010

The current video bios on the emachines em250 has screen rotation disabled. The emachines em250 is a clone of the acer d250. Anyone know if any of the acer machines allow screen rotation? Tempted to try a bios upgrade. the emachines technical support was horrible, rude, and kept referring me to their pay support service rather than offering any help at all.

I just got an Aspire One D250 netbook. It runs Win XP SP3, but I can upgrade to Vista or Win7.

Does anybody have the Aspire One with Win7? If so, how does it behave? Should I upgrade my memory? Also, the netbook is equipped with the low end embedded Intel graphics chipset, can it hold Win7 or Vista?

Acer :: Aspire One D250 - Small Card Slot On The Bottom Of The Computer

Feb 7, 2010

Alright I have looked at every single piece of literature I can find and I am stumped. I have an eMachines EM250 (mechanically identical to the AO D250) and I can not for the life of me figure out what the small card slot on the bottom of the computer is. I know the memory slot and the HDD slot but the third slot is a mystery. I think it is a mini-PCI slot for a solid state memory module but I'd like to find a definitive answer before I go any further.

Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W530 - Boot Options Are Hidden From External Monitor Until Windows Loads

Apr 22, 2014

I have a training environment using W530 laptops that are enclosed in an area in front of the desks. It is not pratical to get to the computer as it is hidden away and therefore I need to be able to use the dvi cabled external monitor for bios setup, boot order, etc.
 
Right now the boot options are hidden from the external monitor until windows loads. Then the external monitor becomes active. Any way to bypass the laptop monitor altogether?

Dell Inspiron 3520 :: Upgraded To Windows 8.1 - Breaking Up Of Screen With Loads Of Horizontal Lines Running Across It

Dec 15, 2014

I inadvertently upgraded to Windows 8.1 which I had been trying to avoid doing and don't know how it happened as I had continually knocked back prompts to upgrade.  I originally did upgrade to 8.1 last year and had such major graphics issues I eventually restored factory settings to get back to Windows 8 which solved all the issues.  Now the same problems are happening i.e. breaking up of the screen with loads of horizontal lines running across it.  

I downloaded all the updated drivers I could from the Dell site but the graphics driver and video driver would not work and I kept getting the message that the laptop was not compatible with the downloads.  It is a Dell Inspiron 3520 and the recommended drivers just will not install. I don't want to have to go through all the hassle of restoring factory settings again.  I am sure the problem is with these 2 drivers mainly the NDJN4 video driver.

Dell :: Loads Of BSODs On M1730

Oct 26, 2008

I got my M1730 in April this year, with the Raid 0 array, 2X160Gb drives, 2X 8800GTX, the physX card, and the 1900X200 display. (and if it matters, the Ivory White colour scheme).

I love the laptop to bits - it was bought to replace a loud, space-filling, 2xdisplay main rig, and it's done that brilliantly.....

...... when it hasn't been crashing.

I've had periods when the M1730 hasn't booted into windows for hours. BSODs all over the place, during windows (vista 32) boot, during windows use. With a Wide variety of crash 'reasons' -

IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
MEMORY MANAGEMENT,
TCPIP.SYS..

...and a few others that I didn't have a chance to note..

My instinct is to think that it's my mis-management of the new system - I don't particularly like vista, but it uses all the ram i've paid for, and that's good.

But it's crossed my mind that it could be an overheating issue; and it arbitrarily picks a component, or driver to blame.

It actually gave me a RAID0 failure last week - I performed a disck consistency check, and it was all fine..

HP/Compaq :: Dv1000tPavilion Down Loads So Slow

Feb 8, 2009

I have a dv1000t HP Pavilion with XP home edition.

I have been trying to download Windows compatibility pak so Office 2003 can read office 2007 documents.

I had no problems download it on my z70va ASUS. It downloaded in just a few minutes.

But on the HP -- the download is taking over an hour.

When this first happened, I though there was some malware on it. I run AVG Internet security all the time. But just to be on the safe side I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy and checked with that -- nothing (though I did have it delete all my temporary files, Super AntiSPyware, nothing, Malwarebytes AntiMalware -- it found one registry infection Hijack.start. From what I read elsewhere that's a false positive but I deleted it anyway.

I also installed SP3 on the HP a few days before all this.

My internet is a high speed DSL and both the HP and the ASUS are on it. SO I don't think that is the explanation.

It seems a little bit like even IE is loading slightly slow -- but I am not sure if that is my imagination.

Acer :: Aspire E5-511G / Display Driver Intel Hd Graphics Drivers For Windows 8(r) Stopped Responding

Dec 7, 2014

I bought my Aspire E5-511G few days ago.

I installed Windows 7 professional (x64) successfully.

I installed all the drivers downloaded form the support section also successfully.
 
The problem is that on approximately every 5~10 minutes I get the following message:

"display driver intel hd graphics drivers for windows 8(r) stopped responding and has recovered".
 
This message by itself is not annoying. The problem is that during skype video call after getting this message I don't see anymore nor my own video nor the video of the called.

Not only this, restarting the call does not fix the problem. 

The only solution is to restart skype but this also does not work everytime.
 
I had similar issue with youtube videos but I fixed the problem by setting NVIDIA as preferred graphics processor for the browser application, however I don;t have such option for skype.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Screen Loads For Awhile Then Fades Into Black

May 31, 2012

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and have had this laptop for 3 or  more years. Last night I shut off my laptop normally but today, upon booting, the screen just turns black and nothing else.When starting up, the Dell logo still loads and the screen still shows "safe mode or start up regularly."

Upon choosing either option, the screen loads for awhile then fades into black. Nothing else happens after.I would atleast like to know how to save my files within the laptop. [Atleast to start it up once more to save all the files to a USB and not lose them forever..]

Dell :: 17R N7110 Alps Touchpad Driver Starts Or Loads Too Slowly

Apr 7, 2014

My touchpad works with the recommended Dell Alps Touchpad driver installed. It seems clear that this driver (apoint.exe) is only required for gesture control of the Touchpad, and this is my problem.

I start my laptop (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit) and use auto login. The laptop is quickly ready to use. I open firefox or other programs, but I can't scroll with the touchpad. The apoint.exe hasn't started faster than I have, and the gesture controls are not recognised when I use them. When I wait a few seconds, the driver is then active, and the gesture controls work.

This is highly annoying ! I don't have many programs running at start up (I've just done a clean Windows 7 install). My anti virus software does take some time to come up, but its not excessive.

How can I increase the priority of the touchpad driver apoint.exe which I can see in msconfig ? It needs to be up and running fast.

Is it possible to somehow set a group policy in Windows 7, so that this program is running before login is allowed ?

I've tried the recommended Dell driver, and also tried a later version which I found via searching on the Dell web site. Both drivers work fine, but they both take too long to load.

Dell Vostro 3460 :: Not Boot Only Loads The Dell Logo And Then Shows A Black Page

Feb 9, 2013

my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.

So my questions are:

1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?

2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?

Sony :: The Vaio Startup Assistant Loads On Startup

After the while the Startup Assistant started booting up by itself even though the box is still unchecked. I thought by recovering to factory settings and unchecking the box would fix it but it has started booting up again.

how I can get rid of the Vaio software?

Question: is there a way to cope with this problem and get the apps working?

Everything seems to work but I cannot get the Vaio TZ to output to the external display. What happens is the external lcd gets a signal initially when I turn on the Vaio TZ (connected to the lcd) but it loses the signal shortly after I log into Windows 7. Btw, the lcd I use is a Samsung 2333HD.
