The computer turns on, but the operating system does not start: possible causes and solutions. Solving problems with opening pages in the browser The page does not fully load in the browser

Hello! In the article we will talk about a very untidy problem - when the site does not display correctly. It happens when the page is not fully loaded, and some elements after a while are not loaded. At what, both pictures and scripts with text blocks can stop loading.

Further solutions will help you sort out the problem on any operating system of the Windows series (7, 8.1, 10 and even XP). By the way, the same problems arise on smartphones and tablets - I will talk about the solution below. Usually, if pages do not fully load in a mobile browser or they are displayed incorrectly, then this may indicate a malfunction of the router.

We will consider all possible solutions for browsers: Opera, Chrome, Yandex Browser. If you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, and if you have any difficulties, and my recommendations do not help, then write about it at the bottom under the article.

HELP! If there are difficulties, do not be shy and write in the comments. My team or I will help you.

Causes and primary solutions

First of all, you need to think about the reason and why the browser does not fully load the site. To get started, you can simply restart the browser - close it by clicking on the cross and start it again. It happens that the problems are connected with a glitch of the system or the router itself. So just reboot both the computer and your home router.

Almost all routers have a reset button - just double-tap it and it should turn off and on again. If there is no such button, then you can safely pull it out of the socket, and then install it back.

Also remember if you have previously installed any programs or applications that could theoretically interfere with the browser. This also applies to extensions. Especially any ad blockers (Adblock, Adguard, AdMuncher), which can work crookedly and block everything. Go to your browser, find the extension section and disable everything.

Clear browser cache and extensions

The cache allows you not to load some elements or even entire pages of the site. But sometimes when it fails, it can result in you having this problem. So we'll just go in and clean it up now.

Google Chrome

Make sure the block shown in the picture below is selected and click the delete button. After that, restart your browser.

Now you need to disable additional extensions. I would advise turning everything off as you don't know which extension is interfering. In the same section of the menu, select "Extensions". Then switch the sliders to "off" mode.

Opera

Now click on the clear button.

To turn off extensions in the same menu, go to "Extensions" twice. I recommend turning everything off.

Firefox

Click on the three dashes in the upper right corner of the window, then select "Settings". In the left menu, click on the "Privacy and Protection" block. After that, scroll down a little to the "History" section and click on the "Delete History" button. A window will pop up - you need to select the delete button.

Open the menu and click "Add-ons", and then on the left side click "Extensions". Disable all unnecessary, but everything is better.

Yandex

On the right side, click "Clear History". Next, a window will open where you will need to click only one button.

To disable extensions just below the menu, you should see working extensions. Right-click on any, and then select "Configure extensions." Now we disable unnecessary and suspicious ones.

Suspicious programs and viruses

Even if you do not remember that you installed something - I advise you to check it. Since sometimes applications are installed in the background with other programs.

Go to "Programs and Features" and sort by installation date

After that, you should see programs that were installed most recently. If you see something suspicious, delete it. This also applies to applications that work with virtual local area networks.

Next, you need to check your PC for viruses. If you don't have an antivirus program yet, you can download one to take advantage of the free trial. There are also free antiviruses like Avast on the Internet (you can use it).

The next step is to check for extra programs in startup. To do this, we will use the CCleaner program.

First, clean up your computer. This cleaning, by the way, clears the entire cache on all browsers. So you can do just that in the future. Next, go to the "Registry" and fix the errors. At the very end, go to "Service" - "Startup" - turn on sorting to see which programs are loaded with the system.

You need to turn off everything unnecessary that you definitely do not need. Take a close look - especially for applications without a publisher. Turn off any bootloaders. You can leave only the antivirus. Next, we restart the computer.

MTU changes

MTU (maximum transmission unit) is the maximum number of bytes in a block that can be transmitted at a time. Sometimes this value is too large and prevents the page from loading. Therefore, it can be made a little smaller. Often this problem is solved with 3G, 4G Internet, which is connected to the router.

First you need to go to the web-configurator of the router. This is done quite easily and on this occasion I wrote a separate one. We go there and go inside the router. I will say right away that we need to change it and install a little less. For example, if you had a value of 1500, then we make it less by 50 or 60. Within 100. That is, the maximum decrease to 1400.

ATTENTION! After you change the value to another, you will need to click on the save settings button. Otherwise, the MTU will not change.

TP Link

"Network" - "WAN". Some firmware hide additional information - this is a bug. Just click just below the "Connection Type" settings if you don't see the "MTU" line.

The first step is to establish the cause of the malfunction. If the situation is such that the computer turns on, but then the operating system (OS) itself does not load, then naturally you need to dig in the direction of the same OS.

And if the situation is that the computer does not even turn on at all, that is, it does not show absolutely any signs of life, then the situation can be much worse.

A few recommendations on what to do if the computer does not boot!

For the first case (when the computer turns on, but the OS itself does not boot).

Here, as a rule, there is a problem with system files, either they are damaged or completely lost. Try the tips below, all tips are for Windows XP:

1. Use the option “Load last known good configuration (with working parameters)”. You can use it as follows: after turning on the computer, press the F8 key, a window will appear, and in it select the above menu item.
2. Go into safe mode and try to restore the computer to a previous state. To do this, when the computer boots, press the F8 key (as in the previous paragraph), select the “Safe Mode” item, if the system boots, go to the following path: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools-> System Restore. And following the prompts of the wizard, try to restore an earlier working system.
3. If the previous methods did not help, then I suggest that you familiarize yourself with another option. This option will return your computer to working capacity with a 99% probability. What do we have to do? You just need to update the old system. To do this, you need a boot disk with Windows XP. Insert the disc into the DVD-ROM, reboot, it should boot from the CD, for this you need to set the appropriate item in the BIOS, or you can call the boot option menu with the F12 key when booting the PC and select boot from CD / DVD-ROM, but This method may not work for everyone.
   After booting from the CD, select "Install Windows XP" by following the prompts. When a window appears announcing that a previously installed OS has been found and press the R key. This will update the existing copy of the Windows installer. Wait for the end and try to boot normally.

For the second case (when the computer does not turn on at all).

In fact, there can be a lot of reasons for this, and it is sometimes very difficult to help in absentia in this case. And, as a rule, the reason is a malfunction of some device (motherboard, power supply, RAM, etc.). At home, especially for an inexperienced user, there is simply no way to check the performance of a particular device by replacing it with a known working one. But there is a way out, although not 100%.

First try resetting BIOS. To do this, you need to remove the battery for a few minutes. Or close the jumper contacts to reset the BIOS. Look for the jumper next to the battery and labeled as Clear CMOS (possible designations: CCMOS, CL_CMOS, Clear RTC, CRTC, CLRTC, CL_RTC). If it doesn't help, read on.

Second. It is necessary to disconnect ALL devices of the computer, leaving only the motherboard connected. That is, we take out the video card, all the RAM slots, turn off the power supply of the hard drive and DVD-ROM, if there are additional devices (internal modem, sound card, etc.), we take them out too, leaving only the motherboard connected to the power supply.

And now we are trying to turn on the computer, if it turns on, then the problem is in one of the disconnected devices. Turn off your computer and try ALTERNATELY connect devices, checking the computer for operability. First, connect the most important devices (video card, hard drive, RAM), and then the secondary ones.

Thus, if the computer stops turning on when installing a device, you yourself will determine the faulty device. If the computer does not turn on with one motherboard, then the problem is either in itself or with the power supply.

Probably, it is not necessary to explain that situations when the computer does not boot are quite common. The reasons for this could be myriad. Now we will try to figure out why such situations arise and how to deal with them. Let's consider desktop computers, not laptops, although in some cases the methods for solving the problem can be very similar.

Causes of download problems

First of all, in the question of why the computer does not boot, you need to understand that among the main reasons there are two main reasons: physical damage to the components of the computer system and software failure (in this case, Windows).

Both of these can cause serious problems. Consider the most basic causes of failures and figure out how to eliminate the consequences.

Consequences of physical impact

As for the damage to physical components, for starters, you should pay attention to the initial stage of booting the PC. Probably everyone knows that when turned on, the system unit makes a characteristic sound (one-time squeak). This indicates that all the "iron" components are in order. True, this is not always the case. The fact is that the failure of the hard drive is determined only after the start (the system does not see it).

Sometimes the system speaker may emit short and long beeps. Now that's worse. This can only mean one thing - some component does not work, is out of order, or is simply not connected to the motherboard correctly. For different BIOS versions, the signals may be different. But all of them may indicate violations in the operation of the RAM, video card, central processor, etc. In some cases, the signal may be absent altogether.

In this case, it is recommended to remove the panel of the system unit and check if all the components are connected to the "motherboard". It may well be that the device does not work due to failure, but because the corresponding cable is damaged. Naturally, it is not possible to determine such a malfunction yourself, so you will have to contact specialists.

Often there are cases when the computer does not boot even when turned on. There may be good reasons for that too. It is very likely that there is simply no power supply. It is worth checking the outlet or "uninterruptible". Sometimes when you turn on a large number of electrical appliances in an extension cord, protection and much more can work. You can check the battery that is installed on the motherboard. It may very well be that after replacing it, turning on and loading the computer will go on as usual. Often no one pays attention to this, nevertheless, the fact remains.

In general, you should immediately check all cables, sockets, extension cords, etc. Maybe this is really the reason. That is why it turns out that nothing starts, nothing loads, the computer is black and does not show any signs of life.

Crash system

Of course, you can replace the hardware, but the situation with the OS itself is much worse, because no one obviously wants to reinstall the system, format the hard drive or partitions, which will entail data loss.

There are just a lot of reasons for Windows to “crash”: a sudden power outage, incorrect shutdown or shutdown, software failure, viruses, hard drive damage, etc. The list is endless.

As for the physical damage to the hard drive, the severity of the problem can only be determined after a complete testing of the surface and contacts. If it burned out, you understand, you will have to fork out for a new one, there's nothing you can do about it. If the damage is minor, you can try to restore the damaged sectors. This will be discussed a little later.

Basic methods of correcting the situation

As it is already clear, in terms of hardware failure, when the computer does not boot, the black screen hangs constantly, the system unit does not make a sound, the solution will be a complete test of all components. It is very possible that reconnecting or replacing some of them will clarify the problem.

It is worth noting that in some cases, when the system does not detect the hard drive, the most banal situation may appear. In the BIOS, the first boot priority can be, say, a CD / DVD / ROM, the second device is a USB drive, etc. It is clear that when media of this type is inserted, the system will display a message stating that this is not a system disk.

It also happens that the computer does not boot from the disk with the Windows installation distribution. Here you have to check the disk itself. It may very well have some scratches or other damage. By the way, maybe the drive itself is damaged and simply does not work.

Now a few words about how to fix the situation when the computer does not boot, Windows 7 does not start, and in general it seems that nothing can be done.

Let's just say: do not despair and panic. Bill Gates is not stupid at all. Creating his system, he left loopholes for restoring the performance of "OSes", and today there are quite a few methods that allow you to quickly and effectively apply measures that can, so to speak, breathe new life into the system. The most common problems and methods for their elimination will be described below from the point of view of the Windows program shell.

Loading Last Known Good Configuration and System Restore

As a rule, even after very serious errors in the operation of Windows 7, as they say, it does not just give up. On reboot (if everything is OK with the boot records), it is tested, and then in most cases a message is displayed about the possible boot options, including loading the last known good configuration.

This happens because the system, as it were, remembers its last working state and offers to go to it, bypassing all the changes made before. It helps 90% of the time. However, it also happens that the computer does not boot even if Windows is self-healing, and the user eventually receives a message stating that such a configuration could not be loaded.

The same goes for using System Restore, which may be offered when Windows starts. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. In principle, both services are very similar. In this state of affairs, more effective measures will have to be taken.

Safe mode

Many users, when faced with a problem, for example, when the computer does not boot after updating Windows 7, clearly underestimate the benefits of safe mode, but it allows you to access a fully functional system and fix many software errors.

To boot into safe mode after the system starts, press and hold the F8 key. When the system boots, we can deal with our problem. In this case, you can check all the "iron" components for operability and the availability of appropriate drivers, run a disk check for errors, and finally start restoring the system.

System Restore

First of all, using the control panel, you need to go to the "Backup and Restore" section. It can also be accessed from the main Start menu under All Programs/Services. Here you need to select a checkpoint (the last one created or one of those that are on the list) and start the process itself. Of course, this can take a lot of time, but if you don’t want to reinstall, you will have to be patient.

Now let's say that after the updates, the computer does not boot. In the same control panel, if you go to "Windows Update", you can view the update log, in which, in fact, you will need to remove everything that was installed before the "collapse" of the system, no matter whether these updates were installed automatically or in manual mode.

In many cases, this approach allows you to revive Windows without resorting to more serious methods that not every user will be able to handle.

Using the Recovery Console

If the above method does not work, you will have to use other methods. One of the most effective and radical methods in the case when the computer does not boot is to use the recovery console, which is available either on the installation or on the Windows 7 emergency recovery disk.

To use such disks, of course, in the BIOS, you should make the appropriate settings for the boot priority, indicating CD / DVD-ROM in the list first.

The boot menu will show the welcome screen "Welcome To Setup", after which you will need to press the "R" key to go directly to the console (command line). It is worth considering that if more than one “OS” is installed on the computer, folders with files will be shown first, and then a request will follow which system the user wants to work with. Now you just need to enter the number corresponding to the number of the selected system. This may be followed by a prompt to enter an administrator password, provided that one is available. Now about commands. What and how to enter and why to use, we will now figure it out.

Restoring the boot file Boot.ini

As a rule, one of the reasons for the “crash” of the system is damage to the boot file Boot.ini, which is responsible for booting the system. To restore it, almost all systems use a tool called Bootcfg. Bootcfg / Rebuild is entered at the command line (not including other tools for scanning its entries, redirecting an action, adding identifiers, etc.). It seems that, in addition to the main recovery command, the average user does not need anything else.

Restoring the Master Boot Record

The master boot record contains tables of all logical partitions on the hard drive. The so-called primary loader places the active and boot sectors in the tables, after which, in fact, the system starts. If the boot record is damaged, the active sector will simply not be able to start the system.

For recovery in this case, the Fixmbr command is used, after which the composite name of the disk or partition is entered. For drive C, the command will look like Fixmbr\Device\HardDisc0.

Recovery of the boot sector of the hard drive

The boot sector is a small partition on a hard drive for storing data in FAT32 or NTFS file systems for booting. In case of damage, the Fixboot \ c: recovery command is used (provided that the "OS" was installed on drive C).

Quick System Reinstall

Again, consider the situation when, after updating Windows 7, the computer does not boot, and the system simply does not want to start. In extreme cases, you can apply the so-called quick reinstallation of the system to the same folder where the previous OS was installed. In some cases, this may fix errors.

After starting the system from the disk, a license agreement window will appear. You can agree to the terms by pressing the F8 key, after which you will be prompted to select an installation method. The "R" key - restore the existing version, Esc - cancel the restore and go to a new installation. In most cases, recovery proceeds without problems.

Virus check

Now a few words about another unpleasant situation when the system does not start and the computer does not boot. The black screen may be the result of the spontaneous action of viruses that either prevent the system from booting or modify boot entries.

In this case, it is recommended to use utilities such as Kaspersky Rescue Disc or Dr. Web Rescue Disc. As is already clear, such programs start directly from the optical disc, but, most interestingly, they are loaded even before the start of Windows. They have a graphical interface, so working with them is not difficult. It should be noted that in 99.99% of cases such applications remove even those viruses that are simply impossible to remove using standard scanners installed in the system. After all, they can “hang” even in RAM. At the end of the check, the computer terminal is restarted, and, hooray, the system works again as if nothing had happened.

Conclusion

So we considered the question of what to do if the computer does not boot. It seems that some solutions to this problem will be useful to many users. Of course, right away like this, on the fly, it’s quite difficult to say why the computer or “OS” does not boot. But if you conduct a comprehensive test and find out the cause of the problems, then you can choose the most appropriate method for correcting the situation.

Many network users, whose browser selectively or completely blocks Internet resources, begin to wonder why the site does not open. There are several reasons why some pages or sites do not load:

• Malicious software;
• Changing parameters in the registry;
• Change browser shortcut;
• Problem with DNS server;
• Changes to the text file hosts.

Malicious software

Viruses, due to which the browser prohibits access to various resources, work as follows: they redirect the user not to the original site, but to a phishing one.

A phishing site is an Internet resource developed by cybercriminals in order to steal personal data for their use or sale.

In appearance, such pages do not differ from the original ones, but the main difference is the link.

Fortunately, such a virus is easily removed, since in most cases it is written in the hosts file. This system resource can be opened with notepad and edited as you wish.

Editing the hosts file

Hosts is a document containing information about domains and IP addresses. Many viruses like to register here and cause some sites not to open. You can find the file at A:\ Windows\ System32\ driver\ etc\ hosts, where A is the drive letter on which Windows is installed.

The document is opened using an ordinary notepad or WordPad. A “healthy” hosts looks like this:

And this is what the infected document looks like:

Everything that falls under the category of "garbage" must be deleted and the changed hosts saved. After restarting the computer, access to Internet resources will reopen, so some sites that have not been launched before will be loaded.

But there are also smarter viruses that not only change, but also modify hosts, so sites do not load. In this case, editing is somewhat more difficult. The two most common versions of the problem are:

1. There are two identical documents in the folder at the above path . In this case, you need to pay attention to the file extension. Fake hosts has a .txt extension when the original cannot.
2. Document missing . This means that the virus has made the file secret.

In order to make hosts visible again, you must:

1. Expand the folder ribbon;
2. Go to the "View" section;
3. In the "Show or hide" category, check the box next to hidden elements:

After setting the parameters, a hidden document should appear in the folder. The file may appear transparent.

If the user does not want to torture himself with editing hosts, then the file can simply be deleted. The Windows operating system will automatically restore the lost system document to its original state.

Sometimes a list with third-party addresses may not be at the beginning, but at the end of a text document. Having opened hosts, be sure to scroll through it to the end.

Search for a virus

Just editing a text file is not enough - you need to find the source of the problem, why the pages in the browser stopped opening. Any modern antivirus, be it Avast, Doctor Web, or even online services, will cope with the search for malicious software on a personal computer. It is enough just to enable deep analysis.

After the virus has been detected and removed, it is necessary to clear the browser cache.

DNS Server Issues

Another common reason why some sites do not open is DNS related failures. To fix this issue you need to:

1. On the control panel, go to the Internet section;
2. Go to network management;
3. Open properties and in the "Network" section, launch the fourth Internet protocol;
4. Find lines with DNS address. Just in case, copy them to notepad;
5. In the same fields, enter the values: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4;
6. Save the changed parameters.

Sometimes such changes lead to the fact that some of the sites provided by the provider do not load.

Registry problems

Registry problems are usually also caused by malware. To clean it, follow the instructions:

• We call the line "Run" using the combination Win + R. In the window we drive in the regedit command and click "OK":

• In a new registry window, follow the link

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows;

• We are looking for the Applnit_DLLs section. This line must not have any parameters specified. If there are third-party inscriptions, then we erase and save the accepted changes.

There is also an alternative way to clean the registry - CCleaner.

CCleaner is a free application whose task is to optimize Windows operating systems.

The program is quite simple to use and allows you to fix problems in a few clicks, why pages on the Internet do not load:

1. Install and run the program on the computer;
2. Go to the registry section;
3. A list of possible problems appeared in a new window. We put ticks in front of all;
4. The PC scan will start. It lasts 5-10 minutes. After the problem is detected, click on the fix icon.

Clearing the DNS Cache

Often, some sites on the network stop working due to cache problems. In this case, regular cleaning will help. For this:

• We launch the executing window and drive in cmd, which initiates the launch of the console;
• Enter three commands in turn:
  1. ipconfig/flushdns;
  2. ipconfig/registerdns;
  3. netsh winsock reset.
• After such commands, the cache will be cleared. The user only needs to restart the personal computer and again try to access the site that was previously inaccessible.

Label changes

Another nasty thing that viruses can do is to enter additional subscripts in the browser shortcut. For this reason, the browser will send the user to unwanted resources or block sites altogether.

The problem is solved quite simply:

1. Right-click the manipulator on the browser shortcut;
2. We go to the properties section;
3. We look at the line "Object". In its normal state, it looks like this:

A:\User\AppData\ Local\Browser\Application\browser.exe

1. If there are third-party inscriptions, then simply delete them, saving the changes.

Proxy problems

Due to the activity of malicious software on a personal computer, the proxy server settings may change. Reconfiguring the utility will help solve the problem. As an example, let's take a look at the famous Opera browser, but the principle of changing settings is similar to all other browsers:

• Launch the browser and go to the settings section by pressing the Alt + P keys;
• In the "Browser" tab, look for the network section and click "Change proxy server settings":

• A window with Internet properties will pop up. Click "Network Settings":

• If the user is not using any proxy servers, then the normal default setting looks like this:

• If the proxy server is set manually, but the owner is sure that he did not do this, it means that malicious software is running on the computer. It must be found and neutralized using any antivirus application.

What to do if a specific site does not open

It often happens that all Internet resources work fine, but the browser does not open a specific page. In this case, changing the browser does not have any effect. At first glance, it may seem that these are problems on the site or technical work is underway, but by launching the mobile version of the browser, the page opens.

To solve the problem, the page compression mode is used. To do this, in the Opera browser, open the menu section and look for the compression mode in the line:

In older versions, this feature was called Opera turbo. The essence of its work lies in the fact that in this mode the user goes to the site through special proxy servers. If the problem is not resolved, then it is likely that the site is not working for technical reasons.

Another reason why the site does not open may be ban externalIP-addresses from the hosting resource. This is not the fault of the user, since the hosting has an automatic function for blocking the addresses that were used for the DDOS attack. In this case, it is enough to wait for the unban. This takes from a week to a month.

Why are the sites not opening? (video)

After the browser is restored, the user should try to avoid new encounters with malicious software. Fortunately, this is done quite simply with the help of modern antiviruses. If it was not possible to restore access to Internet resources, then do not forget about the service centers, where specialists will diagnose, identify the problem and solve it, restoring the browser's performance.

The topic that I want to discuss in this article is very popular and to talk about it in detail so that you understand how and what to do is not so simple. But still, I will try to describe the possible ways of what to do if Windows 7 does not boot on a laptop or computer. We will also find out why this could happen ?! The task ahead of us is not an easy one, namely, to correct the current situation, but there is no need to be afraid. Just follow the clear instructions and you'll be fine! Some points may be suitable for other operating systems, but I will focus on Windows 7.

Dear reader, if you really want to solve a problem, I strongly recommend that you read it in full, and then draw some conclusions. I cannot cover all the details in one paragraph.

Safe Mode and Last Known Good Configuration

This is a must try! We restart the computer, press the F8 key continuously.

Attention! In Windows 8, entering Safe Mode is a little different, so it's best to follow the link below to find out all the details. In the list that appears, we are interested in an item called "Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)". Select and press Enter.

About how to enter safe mode on different systems:

What to do if the information above did not help you? We repeat the steps described in the previous paragraph, but select “Safe Mode” already.

Next, you can make a choice: fix the problem due to which Windows 7 does not boot manually, or try to do it in semi-automatic mode. Usually I do everything manually, for example, if Windows does not boot after installing the drivers, then I remove the drivers and try to boot. I think you understand that the manual method requires more knowledge from you, so Windows offers you another option, which I will describe below.

If everything loads, go to the Start menu, Control Panel, System and Security. In the "Action Center" tab, click on the inscription "Restore the computer to a previous state". See the "Start System Restore" button? Great, then you've come to the right place.

Now click it and follow the instructions.

Next, you will need to select a restore point. In my case, I am offered to choose a point on the 23rd, and now the 29th is on the calendar. Therefore, you need to click on "Search for affected programs" to find out what actions you will need to take after the restoration.

So, you have familiarized yourself with the affected software during system recovery and now you can close this window. After the window closes, click Next.

If you were unable to enter Safe Mode to restore Windows, then do not despair. A little lower we will analyze another way.

Note: at the very beginning, when Windows 7 was just coming out, there was one strange glitch that you might have. When you turn on the computer, a welcome screen follows and a black screen appears. As I remember, there still seemed to be an arrow, but nothing else was visible. It was treated very simply - go into safe mode and restart the computer as usual. After that, I was able to log into my account without any additional manipulations with Windows.

You may need to reinstall Windows

This option should be considered when you have tried to revive Windows, but all attempts failed.

The very first thing that comes to mind for many, and for me too, is reinstalling Windows 7. But this method, you see, is very long, and if you are a busy person, then access to the computer should be almost constant. Reinstallation is suitable for those who have a lot of free time, or do not have time to understand faster methods, or for those who will not be helped by any of the methods I have listed below to restore the Windows operating system.

I will not dwell on installing Windows in detail, since I wrote about this on my blog:

Here is a brief instruction: since you do not have access to the desktop, go to the BIOS, look for the Boot or Advanced BIOS Features tab, or look for it yourself. Then we find the line “1st Boot Device” in it, set the value to CD-ROM. What have we done? And what we did is that now the computer will boot from the disk that is installed in your CDRom, and not from the hard drive. After turning on, when the inscription appears on a black background: "Press any key ...", press any button and get into the Windows installation wizard. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

You can read more about how to boot from disk in my article: "".

I decided to talk about the installation at the very beginning, because if you were going to reinstall Windows, then perhaps this is some kind of sign to implement this))). But as I said at the very beginning, we will now try to bring your Windows back to life without reinstalling it.

System Restore

First of all, you can use the function that is in the "System Restore" installation disk. I will give an example of a Windows 7 system, but if you have a different system, then this is not a reason to think that you cannot do it on your system. The names of the buttons may differ, but the principle remains the same.

So, for this procedure, we need a Windows installation disk or its image (you can download it on the Internet). If you do not have the opportunity to download the image or do not have a disk, then write to me by mail [email protected] or contact your friends who have already installed Windows on their own.

If you do not have a working drive, or if it is completely absent, then the article "" will help in creating a bootable USB flash drive.

When you have a Windows distribution available, then insert it into the drive and restart the computer. If the BIOS is configured to install, then you will have a line:

When it appears, press any key.

In the event that it is not there or Windows boots as usual, then you need to manipulate the BIOS. Namely, set download priorities. Usually, the hard drive is set in the BIOS settings, since it is on it that your Windows is installed.

In order for the computer to start booting from the disk that is in your drive, you need to go into the BIOS and specify CDRom as the first device to boot. I have already talked about this above, if you have not read this moment, then it's time to do it.

So, you pressed any key, now a window will appear where you click "Next".

In the next window, you need to click "System Restore".

It will search for installed systems. If you have one system installed, then there will be one operating system in the list accordingly. Select it and click Next.

Often at this stage, a message may appear asking you to restore the system. If this message is displayed on your screen, then click "Fix and restart." After that, try to log into your account.

If the message does not appear, then in the next window you select your system and click "Next".

After that, a window will appear where you can choose how to restore the system.

- Automatic problem solving.

System Restore - You can use this method, but provided that this function has been enabled.

Restoring a system image - if you have a Windows image to restore.

Command line- with the help of certain commands you can revive Windows. This method will be discussed next.

Now click on Startup Repair. Now we need to wait a bit for the utility to try to automatically find the problem and solve it.

System restore via command line

Then enter and click Enter.

A list of commands that can be used in this utility will appear, now you need to enter: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr and press Enter.

Now enter . exe / , then clicking on Enter. Next, exit the utility by typing exit and pressing Enter. Now you can try to boot into your account, as the restoration work is completed.

You can also try to update the boot code by entering the command bootsect /NT60 SYS. Then exit with the command exit.

If the above commands did not help you, then go to the command line and enter Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd. With this command, you will scan your hard drive to find the systems installed on it.

When the scan is finished, a list of installed operating systems on your hard drive will appear. To add it to the download list, click Y And Enter. After successful completion of the operation, enter exit and press Enter.

So, with the command line, we figured it out. In principle, this should help to get your system to start booting.

Inactive hard disk partition

This situation does not occur often, but still it is necessary to talk about it, otherwise the article can be said to be cut off. Let's give an example, after which you will understand what's what.

Let's say you have several Windows operating systems installed on your computer, which are installed on different hard drives. If you assign incorrect attributes to hard disk partitions, then you will have problems loading one or another version of Windows.

To check or fix this, you can use the Acronis Disk Director boot disk to change partition attributes. So, download and burn the Acronis Disk Director boot disk and boot from it. How to do it? Insert the disc into the drive, restart your computer, and it will start booting from the disc in the drive. But before that, check your download priorities. It should be CDRom, like when installing Windows. We have already talked about this in this article above.

When the program loads, pay attention to the flags that are on the hard disk partitions.

In the image above, we can see that the checkboxes are on the second partitions of the hard drive. You need to make sure that these flags are on the first sections. We got to practice;). You need to right-click on each first partition of the hard drive and select "Mark as active".

A message should appear asking you to click OK. This is what it looks like after the whole process:

Now it remains to click on the "Run" checkbox, wait for the operation to complete and restart the computer. Be sure to remove the disc from the drive.

Hardware problems, BIOS and viruses

HDD. If your system unit, or rather the hard drive, makes suspicious sounds: clicks or taps, then it is likely that the hard drive needs to be replaced. To verify this, you need to open the cover of the system unit, turn on the computer and listen to the hard drive. Also check the wiring to the hard drive. It is possible that the wires are disconnected and the computer does not see the hard drive.

If there is a suspicion that the problem is with the hard drive, then you need to copy all important data to another medium. Otherwise, you may lose them altogether.

BIOS. Go into the BIOS settings and put the hard drive in the first place so that the boot starts from it. Above, we analyzed the example when we exposed the CDROM, you do the same with the hard drive. Just do not forget to save the changes in the BIOS by pressing the F10 key.

The second way - you will not believe it, but it really works! Just go into the BIOS and, without changing anything there, exit, saving the changes that actually didn’t exist (by pressing the F10 button). I personally fixed a friend's laptop this way once, and when they asked me how I did it, my answer was: "Magic and nothing else 😉". So give it a try, it might turn out to be much easier than you think.

Viruses. Sometimes viruses prevent Windows from booting. If there are viruses on your computer, then you need to check the entire disk for viruses. Here are articles that will be useful to you: "" and "".

Of course, if you check your hard drive for viruses, then you will need to disconnect it and connect it to another computer, since in your case you will not boot Windows. Or you can use special boot programs with which you can check your computer for viruses even if you cannot boot your Windows. Here are a couple of them: and.

Attention! There are cases when, after installing updates, Windows 7 stopped loading! Therefore, you can try uninstalling recent updates that were installed before the Windows boot problem appeared.

Important! If you have some specific error displayed on the screen, then I recommend using a search in Google or Yandex. You can enter into the search not only the error code, but also the words that are used in it. Thus, you will save your time searching for a problem and its solution.

Important! If the system unit emits squeaks when turned on, then it is necessary to determine the problem by this squeak. Ask how? Here is an article on this topic for you: "".

That's all I wanted to say. The article turned out to be great, and I sincerely hope that at least one of the methods I have described helped you.

Says too much, but there is useful information for you:
