So each time I had to shut it down forcibly for several times waiting for a clean and complete start up.įirst I decided to fix it by updating the display driver (Nvidia Quadro nvs 160m) with the latest version, unfortunately nothing happened until an idea came to my head out of nowhere, to change the Nvidia settings in “Nvidia control panel”. I even had problems with signing out or putting my old man in sleep, because of the tedious useless process for singing in. My windows 10 went wrong several times after restart or shutdown so that it was not able to start again falling in a process of “starting” for eternity. I faced some difficulties after upgrading my Dell E6400 from Windows 7 to 10 (using free upgrade by Microsoft). Btw i have an Acer Aspire AMD Athlon(but says e machine at start up) if that helps at all…Thank you so much for your help.your site is the ONLY site that made any sense!! But the only option is to sign out and sign in, i do this several times, and the only thing that works is to shut down and reboot.not restart because restart does not work, i have to totally shut down and turn my pc back on.Do you maybe know why this is happening? And what i can do to fix it? I followed all your steps above.so im not sure what i did wrong. I’ll get a critical error message in a green box that says: Start up menu and Cortana are not working, we will fix this for you upon next sign in, or something like that. Its not like i have to have Cortana, but i cant get to my main screen without it. i am successfully using the Windows 10 operating system.but, (there’s always a but, lol) sometimes my start menu and Cortana doesn’t work.

I have the GeForce 6100 n Force 405 display.after i followed your directions step by step, and used the 64 bit downloads. I had Windows 7 and was also getting the error message for my NVIDIA system. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesnt work properly and you end up with a black screen or in my case black screens and random freezes when watching a youtube video when using Firefox.Īdding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded.This post also helped me as well. This makes it possible to have high resolution nice looking splash (boot) screens and flicker free transitions from boot splash to login screen.

So all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel rather than in the X driver when the X server starts. Permanently add the Nomodeset.Īs mention by user NikTh on Oct 27 '12 at 14:02, The newest kernels have moved the video mode setting into the kernel. Here's the problem with random screen freezes using any flavor of Linux with a older Nvidia graphics card, especially an integrated one like the Nvidia G force 430 series. I have tried all the steps above with no results.
