Sometimes it happens that you turn on your computer, but for some reason it does not boot. Although the last time everything seemed to work. Why Windows does not load? The reasons for the mass.
First, to look for a problem, you need to look at how the system does not boot. Up to what point is the download going.
Consider the “blue screen of death”. If the computer starts to load, and then issues blue screen, then this means, most likely, that you have problems on a physical level. That is, the problem is in the gland. But it also happens that some files have flown or damaged that cannot be read from hard drive.
Read the message that will appear on the screen. If it is said that it is impossible to read any file, then there are problems with the hard drive. If the message describes some other error, then most likely it says hardware conflict.
So, you do not load windows, and a blue screen appears. We do the following. Disconnect all connectors, devices and more. That is, almost everything that is inside the system unit. Blow out the contacts and reconnect them. You can also try connecting the hard drive to another SATA connector. A normal board must have at least 4 connectors.
If XP still doesn’t load, then you can disable it or connect it to another connector. Pull the rulers random access memoryblow out the slots and reinsert them. Launch. If it does not boot again, then you need to think about installing a new operating system. We will talk about this a little further.
It also happens that nothing is displayed on the screen.
In this situation, the problem is precisely related to the video card. Either she failed, or just a bad contact. Look at her carefully. If the capacitors do not explode, then pull out. Blow out the slot and then reinsert it. If again no information is displayed on the monitor, then you need to check the monitor and video card.
You can find a neighbor or acquaintance who can help test them. First, connect a foreign monitor to your system unit. If the information went to the screen, it means that your monitor burned out. If there is no data, and windows does not load, then the problem is in the system unit.
After that, put your video card in your friend who kindly agreed to help you.
Two options are possible. Shows and does not show. If the system started to boot, and the information went to the monitor, then your video card is fine. And that means you have a problem with motherboardbecause the video card is alive. Try inserting and removing the video card several times. If nothing helps, then change motherboard, or try inserting a neighbor’s video card, because maybe your video card and your board have a conflict.
If there is nothing, windows and BIOS do not load, then the video card burned out. Will have to change it.
after the BIOS.
A variant is possible when your system starts to boot, but then a black screen appears and a minus sign flashes in the corner (underscore). Here you should also purge and reconnect the devices in the system unit.
Usually, in this case, windows does not load due to some problems with the software part. If connecting a hard disk and a drive to various SATA connectors does not help, then try reinstalling or restoring your operating system.
You can try to restore the boot.ini file. This can be done using the command line.
A common solution is to disable the automatic reboot of the system when an error occurs. To do this, after displaying information from the motherboard, press F8 and select the option to disable automatic reboot. After that, Windows will give you a message about the real problem, not a black screen.
There may be a lot of reasons why Windows 7 is not loadingStarting from problems with installed software and ending with hardware malfunction. Usually, if any of the computer parts is faulty, this can be heard during the initial testing of computer components.
Surely, when you boot your computer, you heard a short beep, coming not from the speakers, but from the built-in speaker in the system unit. This signal means that all components of the computer are operational. If there is no signal, or if the signal is long or there are several of them, this indicates a malfunction of one of the components. Therefore, you do not boot Windows 7. About what exactly these or other signals mean at boot, you can read in.
But what if, judging by the signal, everything is fine with the “stuffing” of the computer, and operating system still not loaded? If you have two hard driveBIOS boot order may have gone astray: the first in the boot queue is not the drive on which the system is installed. Naturally, the system cannot boot. To check this conjecture, you need to check the boot queue when booting the computer (how to do this should be written in the instructions for your motherboard) and change it if necessary.
If the first place in the download queue is desired driveremember have you installed any new programs? Have you connected any new devices?. Perhaps the problem is precisely in them (especially if before that the operating system was loaded normally, and immediately after installation, and crashes started). What to do in this case?
Try the next time you boot your computer. If you succeed, first check and remove all unnecessary programs from there. If you recently installed any program or equipment and think that the problem is in them, try safe mode uninstall the program or disable the hardware and remove the corresponding driver. It also does not hurt to scan the computer for viruses in one of the antivirus utilities in safe mode.
If Windows 7 doesn’t load even in safe mode, try to find installation disk with the operating system - it will come in handy. Most likely, the problem is damage to the MBR (Master Boot Record - the main boot record) , the installation disk will help restore the MBR and, accordingly, the normal loading of the operating system.
Insert the installation disk or disk into the drive system recovery Windows 7 and boot from disk (usually, to boot from a disk, you need to press a certain key at boot time or set the boot priority in the BIOS). If you are prompted to select a language when booting from a disk, do this, and then select recovery from the list of suggested options.
You will have to wait for a while for the computer to collect information about installed systems and offered you a list of possible systems for recovery. You need to choose the right one. install windows. You may be prompted to automatically fix the system.. Why not try it - it can help. If you don’t want to try automatic correction, you just need to select “No”.
The next step will be the system recovery settings window. Here you can start with the option Startup Repair - restore startup to auto mode. It is also possible to manually recover the MBR. To do this, select command line mode and type in command line following commands:
- bootrec.exe / fixmbr
- bootrec.exe / fixboot
The first command will restore the MBR (in some cases this is quite enough), the second - boot sector systemic hard section drive and boot configuration data. After completing the recovery, restart the computer without the boot disk in the drive.
As you can see, there are several reasons why Windows 7 does not boot, so the solutions to this problem can be different. In "running" cases, you may need to reinstall the system, but usually solve the problem in other ways.
Who has not encountered such a problem? Turn on the computer, and instead of the expected regular load, you see something completely different ...
A bit about sore
I want to tell my little story about acquiring a computer. At one fine time, I bought it in a reputable specialized store. The sales assistant was especially kind and friendly, offered a discounted product. He even helped me, as an amateur and an absolute “teapot,” to install Windows XP (of course for an additional fee), several programs and wished me luck. But it was luck that did not accompany me, at least for a year, at least after acquiring a computer.
Just a couple of days later, when I installed several more programs, after the next turn on of the computer, the download did not happen, and a message appeared similar to the following:
How so? Why? After all, the computer is new! I thought that I myself did something wrong, called a "specialist". The arriving "master" said - "Windows has flown!" And for a fee paid to reinstall the system. Well, I think, thank God, I’ll be more careful next and everything will be fine.
A week later, the unpleasant story repeated. Even they had a fight with their son, who could do such a thing .... We blame each other for wrong actions. Well, do you need to install any programs, or just stare at an empty desktop?
This nightmare lasted for a year! A few times I was reinstalling the OS (again, expenses!). I took the system unit to the store where I bought the computer, four times in the warranty repair, where I was replaced hDDmotherboard. I lost count of how many times I recovered and reinstalled the OS (again, expenses!).
Of course, now I understand that some kind of substandard “gotten into” me, and after the forced upgrade everything began to work normally. But in the end, except for the lost money and nerves, I got some positive experience. I began to study literature on my own, gradually began to understand issues related to computer hardware. First, I installed a floppy disk, then increased the RAM, replaced the Seleron processor with an Athlon 64X2, bought and installed a TV tuner and a second hard disk, learned how to reinstall the OS myself and recover from a malfunction.
How did I restore the OS for the first time?
When the excitement subsided a little and the computer began to work well, I calmed down, but it wasn’t there. “Twenty-five again!” “Windows cannot start due to a damaged or missing file \\ WINDOWS \\ SYSTEM32 \\ CONFIG \\ SYSTEM” or something like that ...
This time I decided to take measures on my own and restore the system.
When you turn on the computer, before starting to boot the OS, immediately after the characteristic “peak” signal, press F8, enter the menu of additional boot options:
I chose the option. The operating system booted normally.
Download last successful configuration - this windows mode Allows you to load system settings that worked properly. Upon successful completion work windows Important system settings are stored in the registry.
If the failure is not global, selecting this item quite often helps to start the system in normal mode.
Further, without turning off the computer, I made a system restore.
Start → all programs → standard → utility → System Restore→ restoration of an earlier state of the computer.
I chose the date 1 day ago. I clicked the “next” button and the system independently recovered to its state on the specified date.
After recovery, a system alert appeared on the monitor screen:
This, in my opinion, is one of the simplest and effective ways system recovery. But, in more complex cases, other measures will be needed.
If this method does not help, go to safe mode, just press the F8 key and select the top line - "Safe Mode".
Safe mode - failure protection mode. In safe mode, only those drivers and services are loaded that are necessary for the system to work. Safe mode windows XP will fix all errors and return the system to working condition.
We try to run System Restore in the same way and roll back Windows to another checkpoint.
Unfortunately, sometimes in safe mode this service fails to start.
Do not disable the system recovery service, it quite often saves the system from reinstallation. Working in the background and constantly checking important components for changes, it backs up and control points recovery, which by default is also created every 24 hours.
There are several other ways to restore a system in the event of a malfunction. For example, Using a bootable diskette, when files are written to a formatted diskette from the root directory of drive C :, namely: Boot.ini, NTLDR and Ntdetect.com, then inserting the diskette into the floppy drive of a computer with a damaged OS starts the system from this diskette. Honestly, I have not used this method yet, so I will limit myself to the above.
In more complex cases, when Windows XP does not load, various messages appear on the monitor screen that the registry is damaged or system files, or "Windows cannot start due to a damaged file ... etc.", and it is not possible to restore the system by going to the boot menu or going to the recovery point, the recovery console helps. I tried to try this option, but did not find a dialog box asking me to go into the recovery console by pressing R on the keyboard, although I got to the disk formatting during the installation process. And then where? Perhaps, I thought then, this function is not always on system disks. Maybe I'm wrong And to use this method, you need to already understand some complex issues, be a bit of a pro.
In this regard, I want to draw your attention to the program. For some time now I began to use it and I am sure that all the data on my computer will not be lost and that it will not be necessary to reinstall the system.
In the program window on the tab "System Protection" it is clearly visible that created backup of the system partition, boot disk and boot recovery is activated.
If the operating system for some reason does not load, you can use the tool Boot Recovery (it must be activated). To do this, when the computer starts up, when a message appears on the screen, press the F11 key. Program will start in offline, and you can restore the system.
Function Boot Recovery lets run without loading the operating system. If Windows for some reason stopped loading, then using this function you can start the standalone version and repair damaged partitions. Unlike booting from removable media or a RIS server, you won’t need a disk or network connection for this. This is especially convenient for traveling users. To be able to use Recovery at boot, prepare as follows:
- Set to the local computer;
- Create the Acronis Secure Zone on the hard drive of the local computer;
- Activate Startup Repair. To do this, click on "Restore at boot" and follow the instructions of the Wizard.
To activate the "Recovery at boot" on the computer must be present "Acronis Secure Zone". If there is no such zone, you will be prompted to create it, and “Recovery at boot” will be activated after the zone is created. If the Acronis Secure Zone already exists, Startup Repair will be activated immediately.
Somehow I had to try this method in practice. For reasons that often arise among users (the system hangs, refuses to respond to commands, etc.), I decided to restore the system using . At the beginning of the download, as expected, I pressed the F11 key, before the OS was loaded in standalone mode, the program window opened and I chose recovery system disk on a specific date from backup. Following the prompts of the program, I restored the system successfully. Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised! The program worked flawlessly, there are no complaints about it. But, as always, I got a “fly in the ointment”. As with any recovery, there were some losses. I had to renew the Anti-Virus again, the process of accepting money for Webmoney was duplicated, everything that was placed in the “My Documents” folder after the recovery date was gone. New bookmarks in IE and Opera disappeared (you had to copy to a USB flash drive!) And most importantly, the site files I have are on virtual disk Z of Denver, and this, in fact, is on drive C. Here they are also “updated”, so to speak, to the previous level. I had to copy and update everything from the hosting server. As a result, I restored everything successfully. These are unpleasant update costs, they are usually inevitable, but in any case they are not comparable with the losses that may occur as a result of reinstalling the system.
It was not activated), you should use the bootable CD-ROM created during installation (or later from the program) and boot the computer from it. In this case, the program will automatically load and you will be able to recover the damaged partitions.
Thank you for your attention and endurance. I wish you success in mastering the program and stable operation of the computer. Good luck Regards, L.M.
Hello, dear readers Denis Trishkin in touch.
While working long time at the computer, many users are faced with a situation where they simply do not load windows 7. Moreover, each individual case has its own manifestations. To understand this topic in detail, I will try to consider the most common options. Despite the fact that there are many, there is still a certain classification.
There are a lot of options, because of which the operating system refuses to work in the usual mode, and a black screen appears:
problems with RAM;
incorrect installation of updates.
hard drive issues;
invalid device boot queue
a USB flash drive is inserted into the USB port;
The system starts only in safe mode( )
Sometimes users may encounter a situation where Windows boots only in safe mode. First you need to try to remember what could be the problem of a malfunction. Often the reason is the installation of a new application. In addition, the group of the most popular reasons can be safely attributed clicks on advertising banners on the Internet, changing the settings of the hardware, connecting new devices.
To solve the problem, you need to try to return everything, as it was before the malfunction. If the problem appeared after installing the program, you must remove the latter:
If problems arose as a result of connecting the device, we will do other things. I recommend that you use this method even when the blue screen of death appears just like that, without any hardware or software changes.
So, we do the following:
You can get acquainted in detail with the problems on which the screen of death appears by going.
Hang on greeting( )
Often, users can observe a situation where Windows does not load beyond the greeting. That is, they see the inscription: "", and this all ends. As with any other problems, there can be many reasons. We will highlight only a few of the most common.
If problems appeared after clicking on an unverified link or as a result of installing a dubious software, it is advisable to use the help of antiviruses. To do this, boot into "" using the " F8". And run the appropriate solution. At this time, you can independently terminate the work of suspicious programs in " Task manager».
Windows may hang on the logo as a result of insufficient thermal management of the hardware. This can be preceded by idle coolers, dried thermal grease, a huge amount of dust. To establish this reason, it is enough to use one of the utilities showing the current temperature conditions. It is necessary to compare the readings with the data from the documentation. If they exceed those written in the passport, you must urgently clean and, if necessary, replace individual components.
This item may also overheat. In addition, malfunctions result from mechanical damage to the component. To establish the exact cause, it is necessary to conduct some tests. You can read more.
If, as a result, it turns out that malfunctions arise due to overheating, it is necessary to use appropriate heat sinks. Using them, users can significantly reduce the risk of exiting standing RAM.
In some cases, replacement only helps. The main problem is that factory defects can occur even several months after active use.
Sometimes operating system problems are directly related to the hard drive. These can be both logical, electronic, and mechanical errors. Often a harbinger of problems is unusual sounds coming from the appropriate equipment. How to check other information can be read in.
Updates( )
In some cases, the operating system refuses to work after the update. The main thing to remember is whether the corresponding screen appeared on the last reboot or system shutdown. If so, try restoring Windows by rolling back to previous versions. This can be done from a disk on which there are files for installing the OS. You can also try to boot from a flash drive.
Sometimes it even saves the option " Configuration downloads with latest running parameters", Which can be selected by clicking" F8»During the start of the equipment.
If you are not sure that the problem can be solved exclusively reinstalling windowsIt’s worth taking advantage of other features to restore performance. You can learn in detail from.
As you can see, there are many reasons why the Microsoft operating system may not want to boot. In addition, each of them is solved by its own tools.
I hope you can find the right one for yourself. Subscribe and share my blog with others.
Although it is widely believed that the OS of the Windows family is extremely unstable and just waiting for the opportunity to "fall out", in fact, everything is already far from it. Owners of licensed Windows themselves can compare their impressions of the system with what they would have by installing another “build” from craftsmen on their computer. With minimal observance of elementary rules, the system can work for more than one year, delighting its owner with stability. But no one is safe from problems. And if you do not boot Windows, then do not panic: as a rule, problems of this kind can be solved.
So what could be the reason? Look at the computer: until what point does the system boot? If the download reaches even the appearance of the start screen with the Windows logo, then the problem may not be so serious. To get started, try booting in safe mode. Most often, it is called by pressing the F8 key at the initial stage of loading (immediately after the BIOS logo appears). After repeatedly (for reliability) pressing the button, a list appears possible options downloads. Select "Safe Mode" in it. If you do not boot Windows due to some problems with startup, everything will go fine.
We start system recovery
Immediately after a successful boot in security mode, you must start System Restore. Windows will be pumped to the last successful configuration, after which the computer can be rebooted. Unfortunately, download problems cannot always be resolved as in a simple way. If even in safe mode your computer does not want to boot, you will have to resort to recovery via BIOS. So, if XP does not load, you will have to remember where you have the installation disk from which you installed the system.
Recovery boot fromBIOS
After downloading it to the drive, send the computer to reboot. After that, by pressing the DEL key, select the boot option from the disk, save the changes and reboot (in most cases, the F10 key is responsible for this). After waiting until all system files have been downloaded from the disk, select "System Restore" in the installation menu. A utility will be launched, which itself will find a section on the system partition with information for recovery and perform all the required operations. But if not only Windows does not boot on the computer, but even the startup screen for loading the system does not appear? What to do then?
Other reasons 
In this case, pay attention to the monitor: do any signs appear on it? If not, then with a high probability we can assume the failure of the video card. If you own a desktop that has not only a discrete, but also a video card built into the motherboard, try connecting the monitor to its connector. In addition, you can try to pull out the RAM dies and clean its connectors. In some cases, even such a simple operation helps. If Windows does not boot up, and an inscription like System Disk not found appears on the monitor, then there will be a serious reason to worry about the health of your hard drive. In this case, you can not do without calling experts. We hope you find out why Windows does not load.
