I have a new Dell Laptop Inspiron 1520; It goes into repair mode after Windows Vista updating re-start?

August 7, 2009

I have a new Dell Inspiron 1520 note book PC; It was having problems on start up like heavy monitor flickering after Log On and long time to start. It was giving unexpected shutdowns. The service from Dell and agents was not helpful.

So I re-installed Vista from the CD (that deleted all Dell software). and updated drivers as required. Then all start up problems vanished. But there is one problem now. After most Vista updates, it goes into black screen (repair mode) during the re-start process. What can be done? Can I avoid updating? Will it cause any problems?

After the "repair" (nothing really) and booting, it says the updating was OK and works normally. Pls advise.

about blank?

Hello Everyone,
In the last 2-3 months, I have been installing and uninstall some software from the internet, things like Tortorrent download tools, software tools, Eclipse, NetBeans, Quick timer, iTunes.. etc.. a lot of them. Then after using them, I have uninstalled a few cuz I realized I no more need them. Now my Pc is running very slow. Also I faced a problem where this ccsvhost.exe (Norton related) stuff would eat up all the memory and cpu, I just found a work around I open up norton then disabled few kind of scans like messanger and such stuff or background scan, that helped me from norton slowing down the system. Having done all this good lot of crap.. Now I am feeling I need to clean up my registry. I understand that I am trying to install one more tool, but any tool that is worth installing and that might clean up my registry, without bothering me to buy the software in the middle of its job? I mean it totally annoys when it says so many issues are identified with your registry, but plz subscribe for it to further clean up :(. .. It will be a great help if anyone of you help me with this.
Thank you in advance.
Hi all, Thanks to you all for the reply.

I just used Advance System Care free ware, so far so good, I will see for a day or two and if it looks fine then shall update again with the observations and then try the suggestions by other guys.
