However, due to the neurosis that's now set in, I've done probably the wrong thing and researched freezes causing by Sonic configs/updates. switching back on an hour later, fast POST, OD 2 comeback, appearing in Device Manager. Not fancying another overheat, after 5 mins I did the hard shutdown. Then temporarily back in the seventh circle of hades, as the screen stuck at 'Windows is shutting down' (disk activity light solid). Something like 'Please wait while Sonic DLA updates your media'. this afternoon after I hit the shutdown button a message appeared. Although the light sometimes blinks - and stays on - during startup, the drawer couldn't be opened, not even using the paperclip trick.Д«ut.

Could you edit the picture with the serial number in please, it is the 10 character MTM that is needed.

I was about to reply and say that loading a disk into OD 2 wasn't an option. Re:My Lenovo won't boot Windows after BIOS update. I think the answer might be to disconnect OD 2 but right now with a major project in hand I don't want to risk creating further problems. Sometimes OD 1 disappears and can be resuscitated by 'Scan for hardware changes' in Device Manager. Ain't there either and when I quit the BIOS without making any changes the machine's power cuts out and it won't restart for at least 30 minutes. Occasionally, the light on the drawer for OD 2 blinks, stays on (and continues to stay), the light on OD2 blinks and goes out and startup proceeds quickly. However, the startup continues to be scary and I'm pretty sure the problem is related to the goosed optical drive (OD) (one of two). I unticked it, but don t suppose it's made any difference.ДЇollowing the AVG removal, the system continues to run much, much faster and the shutdown process now takes just a matter of seconds. There was only one AVG autorun entry: it related to the Remover Tool and was labelled 'Run once only'. Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e Tiny Core i3-3220T 2. Thank you very much for stepping in, John C. I'm 99% convinced the problem doesn't lie with the hardware - and there is a connection with the trashed optical drive.ДЄny ideas, guys? In my totally untutored way I'm thinking that the startup is somehow confused by the dead drive. research seems to indicate that this is a BIOS setup problem, but the research doesn't tell me what to do about it.

After that, all is well and the system runs even better than ever (a major plus after removing AVG). Now, in the wake of the two wasted days recovering from the AVG mess up, POST hangs at the 'System is starting' message for what seems like an eternity and the boot only starts after a few candles have been lit and prayers offered. To interrupt normal setup press Enter' message appears - normally just for a fleeting moment, and then the Windows logo appears with the progress bar. When I switch on my Lenovo (IBM) Thinkcentre, a 'System is starting. After several days in the Seventh Circle of Hell with (now resolved) problems caused by AVG, one of my optical drives has failed completely and I'm suspecting this must be connected to the following, new problem.
