Windows 10: No Desktop: trying to fix for a friend...

He gave me his sons Lenovo. It boots up to a blank screen. 1. Brought up task manager to restart explorer. It goes to a black/white desktop with not many icons on the task bar.

1. 
   Got a cmd box to run sfc. Took 24 hours to 100% and then nothing after verification.
   
   
2. 
   Managed to go to safe boot and still no desktop and slow moving.
   

Don’t have recovery key but have made install media. Don’t want to nuke from orbit so want to try to use safe boot to get stuff off the machine before big fix.

Any other ideas?

micsoft solitare friends not showing

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try them to no avail. I should expand on the issue. This friends list in Microsoft solitaire collections apps not showing up is happening on two lap tops and a desktop machine. The link was interesting. I tried resetting
the app on one of the laptops and also reinstalled it. Same results. Strange.

Thanks for the suggestions. Shall keep the link for future reference.

 

Friend's desktop BSOD - 0x139 ntkrnlmp.exe


Hello.

You can recommend to your for friend to do these steps:

• Use the event log to see if there are higher level events that occur leading up to this stop code.
• If you recently added hardware to the system, try removing or replacing it. Or check with the manufacturer to see if any patches are available.
  
• If new device drivers or system services have been added recently, try removing or updating them. Try to determine what changed in the system that caused the new bug check code to appear.
  
• Check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing the error. For more information, see Open Event Viewer. Look for critical errors in the system log that occurred in the same time window as the blue screen.
  
• Look in Device Manager to see if any devices are marked with the exclamation point (!). Review the events log displayed in driver properties for any faulting driver. Try updating the related driver.
  
• Run a virus detection program. Viruses can infect all types of hard disks formatted for Windows, and resulting disk corruption can generate system bug check codes. Make sure the virus detection program checks the Master Boot Record for infections.

Also in the dump file it says that the process that was running when this BSOD happened was game.bin. Does your friend play an outdated game maybe?

 

Building a computer for a friend

Any reason for listing the 3820? Socket 2011 is total overkill for what your looking for. Socket AM3+ would be more appropriate.

My build suggestion, just pick a case your friend likes the looks of. System Builder
