Bootup Has Changed?

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

All Day I fought with this computer to boot!
I would power on and the HD would start to spin and then stop.

It would get to where the screen displayed the computers manufacturer name LENOVO and that is as far as it would go!
I had to use the power button to power off.

I did this a number of times!

I then did the ... Unplug, power on ... HD spin and stop, power off routine over and over.

I tried everything I could think of!

After more than five or six hours ... For no particular reason I unplugged the two bluray USB plugins from the front.

One plugin is for my Microsoft mouse and keyboard, the other is for my Logitech headset.
After unplugging the USBs ... the computer booted right to the desktop??

I'm guessing that the pc was trying to boot from one of the devices but I don't know Why?
I haven't changed any settings and I wouldn't know how anyway?

If the boot startup really has changed from it's original settings, how could I change it back?

If it helps, I am posting what I think are important details about my system?

It's a mystery for now,

My windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit will not boot at times when the HDMI connector is connected. The first thing we ask when helping with an un-bootable computer is to disconnect everything including modem / router.

Is your computer booting normally now with those USB devices connected ?

If you continue to experience this problem you would want to check the boot order in BIOS and have the laptop boot from the "C" drive first, for some reason it's possible your boot order got messed up and it's looking at the CD Rom drive then it looks at usb. In your case it may see files on the usb and get confused and unable to boot. I can't identify the problem with my machine just yet.

How long have you owned this? Is this a pc bought used? When did it stop working normally?

Maybe I missed it in the flood of info but what Windows version?

yes I have used many of the nirsoft utilities which will show as a false positive, the situation is that the technology they have to use to allow you to find your lost keys on your own pc are very similar to the technology that is used in trojan/virus to steal your info, the difference is that with the nirsoft tools no info is sent to anyone it does not connect to the internet it is just for you to use on your pc and capture the info you lost. They make tools to find your wireless password, your router password, your outlook info, windows key, many many useful tools. when used by the pc user on their own pc they are then not malicious. I do not know if all of what is showing in Malwarebytes is just nirsoft products but part of it looks as if it is. That is why it list it as a PUP potentially unsafe product not as a Trojan. It is not a keylogger a keylogger is dangerous and sends out the info it captures to some one through an internet connection, nirsoft just finds it and gives it to you. I have used them and know many others that use their utilities. But if you no longer need the program the best thing to do is just after using it remove it so none of your AV programs will alert on it.

Has Crisco changed here recently?

Um, well, I have 8 cows. And a horse, and 21 chickens, 2 dogs and 2 cats. I do like my animals. (grin) Plus 200 asparagus crowns that needed the ferns trimmed today because it's going to be raining tomorrow and then highs in the 20s after that. People have been coming to cut Christmas trees, we have the "cut your own" thing but someone always needs change or a saw or help. We'll set hay tomorrow because I'm going out of town for three days (but driving home every evening) for some "Ag" classes, but I'll have to come home early on Wednesday evening because I'm secretary of our Township Planning Commission and we have a 7 pm meeting. The farrier is coming Tuesday and Elery is on his own for the first time for that. I need to bake cake for 100 by Sunday for Madi's birthday and an anniversary cake for Saturday for an elderly friend and his wife, 66 years of marriage. Then next week we start on Christmas baking because Elery's family Christmas is the 16th and we're taking ham, beef, lasagna, apple stack cake using his Mother's recipe, plus cookies and fudge. I need to bake a birthday treat for Elery's grandson Jack, he's 10, and we'll give him his birthday present at the Christmas party, but he's 10, he needs a cake or something so his birthday doesn't get lost in the Christmas shuffle. Oh, and I need to make fudge to send to California for Elery's oldest son and their family. Fortunately for me, I can sliced apples and freeze fruit already sliced or peeled or whatever, so I really can make a 10 minute pie if I have to. It's not as much fun and it's sure not fancy, but it's pie and it'll do in a pinch. Today, though, I made date filled cookies for no reason other than Elery likes them. They aren't the prettiest cookie on a plate, but they sure taste good! Annie

Red Star Active Dry Yeast has Changed?
Q
Comments (45)
Most rapid rise yeast has Ascorbic Acid added to make it rise faster, it is basically vitamin C. I'm fine with that. I don't know if the funky smell and too rapid rise (for active dry yeast ) was from the additive or the new process they are using. I don't think they are adding corn syrup, but from the article Robin quoted above, it sounds like they are actually using the corn syrup to make the yeast. "Yeasts are grown in the industry in big tanks with sugary water in the presence of oxygen. When the desired amount of yeast is reached the liquid is pumped out, and the yeast is then dried. Nothing else is added in the production of yeast." I found this after searching on the Internet. So I would guess instead of using a sugar/water solution, Red Star now uses corn syrup to grow their yeast. I just can't understand why they felt they needed to add an emulsifier. I can't say I have ever had a problem with my yeast staying solid. If it worked for so many years I can't see why they would change it. I'm guessing the funky smell is from the corn syrup base they are growing the yeast from, and the undesirably rapid rise is from the emulsifier.

Layout has changed, but has it improved???
Q
Comments (18)
I've been staring at your layout for quite a while and really can't figure out what to suggest. It seems like you have so much space, but the kitchen looks awkward to me. Personally, I wouldn't want the clean up sink on the peninsula looking over the breakfast room, but I'm not really sure where else to suggest moving it. Butler's Pantry - if you really think kids are going to be running thru there, I'm not really sure if I would want it as my "snack center". Imagine when your kids are older and you and your DH are standing in there fixing coffee and bagels and the kids try to run through. Just seems like a small space to get those types of tasks done. Dish storage-I agree with Bmore that the type of hutch you're talking about could be difficult to access. Also, if your dishes are near the sink, they are fairly far from frig, pantry and proposed "snack center". The easiest path is right between the prep sink and range, which could be an issue. I also think you have a long walk with groceries from the garage, thru the mudroom, thru the butlers pantry into the kitchen. Depending on what you do with the pantry/laundry room space, you might want a door from the garage into one of those rooms so you have a straight shot with groceries. This might be crazy, but I almost see a better space with 2 islands instead of that peninsula. Shrink the bigger island the 6' and then add a second island next to it that would house the clean up sink and DW. You could unload dishes into upper cabs and lower drawers on the back wall.It wouldd almost be like a galley kitchen with 2 islands. Or...you could do 1 really long island. Another idea...does the pantry have to be on that side of the kitchen? If you moved it to the other side, eliminated the peninsula, closed up that pantry doorway, you would have more counter space(I think). You could move the range a little further towards the frig and get the clean up sink on the back wall. I'm sorry if this is sounding negative. I'm really just trying to help. There's just something not working for me here. Any chance of widening the kitchen at all? I think the biggest issue is that you have very limited wall space. You only really have the back wall, which when you factor in the doorway for the pantry, there's not that much room there either.

Strange!

I turned off and then tried to restart the PC and as I suspected it did the same boot to Lenovo screen and stop again.

First a little about the connections.

I have the Logitech USB and the Microsoft mouse and keyboard USB plugged into the two USB ports on the front of my PC.

I shut down the PC and pulled the Logitech USB out of the front and plugged it into a rear port and tried a restart.
No luck.

I then pulled the Microsoft USB out and the computer booted to the desktop!

I had to plug the Microsoft USB into the other port on the back of the computer and as of now, I haven't tried to restart the PC.

I am going to wait until later to see if the PC will boot normally now that I've swapped everything around?
(I have things I need to do and am tired of messing around with it)

None of this happened until today when I tried to power on?

I just don't get it?

If I still get the problem, it can only be the mouse or maybe a problem with one of the front ports?

Both devices (mouse and headphones) work once the PC is running!

Well the headphones work fine but the mouse is getting to be a PITA!

The cursor is almost uncontrollable and it is FRUSTRATING!

The OS is Windows Ten

Yes, the drivers for the mouse and keyboard are up to date.

The keyboard works fine but as I said, the mouse is becoming a PITA!

Why would you not plug these devices in after you boot up the PC? headset etc. There are specific ports on the back of most PC towers for each device often color coded devices such as kb, or mouse, headset can be plugged in front.

My devices run through USB receivers which plug into USB ports!

(No wires)

Well I could unplug the Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse USB and the Logitech wireless headset USB each time I shut down and then plug them both back in every time I start up but .. Why?

It isn't supposed to work that way which means that there is a problem.

I might have the answer though.

This morning I tried to power on (with both USB devices plugged in) and of course .. the PC hung at the Lenovo screen and wouldn't boot further.

I powered off and unplugged the Logitech device and the PC booted normally ... With the Microsoft keyboard/mouse still plugged in.

Looks like the Logitech headset USB receiver is the problem?

I am still going to have to purchase another keyboard/mouse combo though because the cursor has become almost unmanageable! 8(

If you move it to a different USB Slot does it have the same boot problem ?
