View 5 Replies View RelatedI think this is what killed my last drive. I caught Vista doing this again which was a frustrating problem in the past.
Laptop. Vista set to hibernate when lid is closed.
So I get up this morning, lid is closed, drive light is just on FIRE, Vista is pounding the piss out of the drive.
It will NOT wake up, it will NOT do anything, it's just sitting there pounding the pee out of the drive while it's supposed to be suspended. I watched it for about 15minutes and nothing changed. I suspect it does this often and this merceless beating of the drive is what ruined my last one.
This is not the first time either, I'd gotten in the habit of shutting the machine completely OFF because of this problem, I've actually seen it pegging the processor too (or at least the fans are running full tilt and pumping a lot of heat...with the lid closed and the machine supposed to be in sleep or hibernate.
I'm not sure exactly where to post, but I been getting constant reboot after bringing my system out of suspend/hibernate or power saver mode. It just reboots like its about to post, but then goes back down. It does this over 'n over until I cut the power and kill the PSU. I did have my system OC'ed, but at the moment I'm currently running at default settings.

Thats really annoying to sit in front of the resuming computer and try to catch that 2mins window every day, when i hibernate. Is a feature or bug? Can it be overcome somehow?....Ive got Vista 64, all updates, Rad4870, Asus M3A78-EH mobo, 5000+BE, hybrid sleep off.
I have Vista Ultimate with Word 2007. I recently found myself unemployed so I created a resume on Word. I've joined several job finder sites online and the majority of them have an option that allows for downloading a resume. Some of these sites have responded to me with notice that I have a virus in my Word document. I have no idea how I could have gotten a virus in a simple resume but it has me disturbed. How many of these job finder sites have scrapped my resume due to this virus (I ask myself)? How do I go about removing the virus? I have Windows Live OneCare and have it set to do a virus scan once a week but it hasn't found anything. Do I uninstall Word 2007 then reinstall it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm able to connect to the VPN at my company (which I set up - it's a Windows 2003 Server Running VPN services) and am able to Remote Desktop / Ping / Use full Outlook just fine. For a while. After a certain amount of time (usually 60 to 90 minutes) the VPN connection will all of a sudden stop transmitting data. According to an ipconfig I still have an IP on the remote network, but all traffic ceases. Outlook reports that it has lost connection to the Exchange Server, ping tests fail, no more remote desktop, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria.
If I open up my Network Connections folder, the VPN Connection still shows up as "Connected". If I try to disconnect it, I get the "Attempting to Disconnect from VPN" window, at which point it hangs (I've let this try to disconnect for 2 hours at one point, with no results). I can't close out of that window unless I go into Task Manager and kill the explorer.exe process. Usually, I end up rebooting my machine every 60 to 90 minutes just so I can reconnect to the VPN and resume my work. As you can imagine, this is getting annoying.
My Vista 64 machine (Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 mobo, Q6600 cpu, 8GB ram, Radeon HD2400 vga card) has a problem when it resumes from sleep. There is a protracted (3 seconds) buzzing noise and then the display shows a vertical pattern of narrow red and white stripes and the machine hangs. Only a reset will get it to reboot - the keyboard is completely dead.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have my computer run an automatic backup each night to my USB connected external hard drive then automatically hibernate. However, I always need to remove the USB connection to my external HD before turning my computer on in the morning, or else it would just display a blinking dot when turned on. When I do forget about removing the external hd, I am forced to manually shutdown the computer. Once its turned back on, I get a message saying the resume from hibernate wasn't successful, and it asks me if I want to retry or delete the hibernation file. I choose to retry (having already disconnected the HD) and Vista resumes fine. I'm wondering how to resume Vista from hibernate without having to always disconnect my external HD prior to turning it on. The external hard drive is Western Digital and I'm using Vista Service Pack 1. Also, my sister's laptop resumes fine from hibernate with the external HD plugged in. One last thing, my computer resumes fine when put to sleep with the external HD plugged, its only hibernate that this happens.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo one day I turned on my computer from a hibernation, and the windows didn't resume correctly, so i dumped the restore and just rebooted. Following that, none of my usb devices worked. In my device manager, under Universal Serial Bus controllers, there are two unknown devices (I uploaded a picture). I've looked all over microsoft support for an update that would help, and I couldn't find anything.

I have NVidia GForce 6200 chipset card, and now I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64, but I had the same problem in Vista x64. If I move to 16 bit colors it solves,also with basic theme without Aero. I tried many drivers updates but nothing changed.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've searched here for this problem, and it seems that others have had it as well. I just got a new PC and it's running Vista. Each time I put it into sleep mode, when I come back, I have no wireless internet. I can either reboot or unplug the wireless receiver, either work, but it's a pain. Repair/diagnose does NOT work. For what it's worth, I had another PC, less than a year old, and it does the exact same thing. I just assumed that the old one was just wierd and my solution was to not put it into sleep. We do have a hard wired one, it does NOT lose connection when in sleep mode. My internet comes back just fine upon unplugging the receiver / replugging it. I have tried the solution I found..by unchecking the 'allow the system to put this device to sleep'..that did not work. the PC's are pretty DISSIMILAR in what they have on them for hardware, which leads me to believe it's a Vista thing. They don't even have the same spyware stuff..
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Toshiba A205-7464 laptop before Christmas and have been having a problem lately with the wireless internet hanging on me.
I will be online for a certain period of time, sometimes hours, sometimes 10 minutes. I will try to go to a website, not always the same one, and IE will just hang, no graphics will come up, the green bar just stops halfway through and it just hangs. I get no error page or anything but in order to get it working again, I have to reboot. It is really starting to tick me off because it is starting to happen more frequently. I have uninstalled McAfee and installed my own Security Software (CA Suite).
Here are some stats on my PC:...
I have built up a new system...been running perfectly since August 2008.
2 nights ago I had just finished an update to itunes and some other apple software which required a restart. Upon restart, the system hung while booting.didn't get to the user account log-in screen.it froze with a blackscreen with the mouse cursor sitting there in the middle.
I have done the following things and observed the following behaviour:I have not added any hardware to the system Windows Update has doing automatic updates the systems boots and runs perfectly in safe mode with networking I have reverted to a couple of different restore points prior to installing the apple software...no change I have disabled all non-Microsoft software from starting up via Windows Defender...no change I can get the system to boot to where it displays the user accounts login screen. When I click on an account and enter the password it will hang at that point. Mouse continues to respond but no further response. Disk drive light goes solid but no sound of the disk operating If at the user account log in screen I select to shut the system down it will hang during shutdown checking the event logs shows a range of various fatal errors.I can provide more info on this at later posts if needed but the messages look quite similar to other posts given for a range of different behaviours so I am not sure which if any are relevant. Booting to the Vista CD and doing a repair found no errors. In short, my perfectly happy and functioning system has suddenly gone mental for no obvious reason.
I have a recurring problem in that my computer randomly will freeze and become non responsive(though I can move the mouse during these freezes). When clicking on a link or trying to view an e-mail I get the message "Not Responsive" as I watch the Windows "circle" rotate in the middle of the screen. Usually within 15 seconds to a minute the computer again returns to usable state. It used to happen only in Windows Mail. But about two weeks ago it started happening when using other programs, IE, Firefox, etc.
My system specs are as follows:
Dell Dimension E521
Vista Home Premium 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2GHz
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2DIMMs
256MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE TurboCache
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Optiquest 19" widescreen lcd 1280 x 768
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
Tower
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse
DSL 3.0 Mbps down 384 Kbps up
To this point I worked with Dell support to try to solve the problem. After doing a disk cleanup, removing temp files, etc. that didn't fix it, they had me perform a restore to Factory Settings. However even after doing that and reinstalling my programs and data files, the problem persists. I have tried opening Windows in safe mode and the problem doesn't occur then. BTW, there are no error messages when this occurs.
When Dreamscape is running, Vista will periodically hard hang (will not respond to any input except hardware reset).
On reboot all desktop dispay setting are trashed.
Vista is UFAPP
(Useless For Any Practical Purpose)
Good Evening / Morning / Other
I have a PC running Vista x64 specs-
MB Asus P5VD2-VM
CPU Core 2 Duo 6700
GPU BFG Nvidia 8600GTS
HD Seagate 500GB Sata
RAM 4 GB DDR2 (System only uses 3GB due to chipset lacking memory remap)
For the past year its been occasionally hanging at random - sometimes repeatedly each day, othertimes once every few days. I have run ram tests and its found nothing. Its not overheatring. The only other thing I can think of is the hard drive when I run seagates tools it cant complete the long tests but it does the short test - can anyone thing of any other diagnostics I can try.
Im running vista 64bit home premium on my acer desktop. Its been absolutly fine until today. I uninstalled a game and suddenly...well.. every time I close any application the system hangs up/stalls..the cursor goes into 'wait' mode and I can't do anything, the windows key does nothing, etc. Task manager does come up after cntrl/alt/dlt, but it wont do anything - the cursor won't even close it. If Im in a game and tab out, the same thing happens. Sometimes it happens once Ive booted. The desktop pic may be there but the desktop icons wont be...If I go to the menu screen and hit log off then suddenly things happen as they should, but the machine, naturally, logs off. Ive run a virus scan using avast, but it found nothing.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just bought parts for a new computer, today i finished putting together, now when I try to install Vista, it hangs at the 'loading files....' screen. I've tried installing XP Pro too, and it gives me a STOP C0000221' Unknown Hard Error' after it copies all the files, and tries to start the installation.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI can start the install fine, let it run to expand files et al, and then it needs to reboot. Thats where the problem starts. My comp reboots all ok until I get the message "Press a key to boot from CD/DVD or something similar, and then it hangs. Forever!
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo this is the first issue I've really had with this. I try to uninstall the current SP1 to install the new refresh and this is what happens. All goes well until stage 3. Stage 3 gets to 74-75% and "hangs". When I say hangs... it does progress... SLOOOOOWLLLLYYY. Eventually its gets to about 85% then jumps to 100% and eventually says "uninstall has failed" and reverts changes. It's 11:30pm right now. I started the uninstall at ~6:15pm. Between it going slowly and then reverting the changes, thats how long it took. Tried this twice so far, both with the same result. I previously uninstalled a different version of the SP, no issues.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Vista very often hangs, usually on shutdown. I have to pull the plug. Will this damage my laptop if I keep doing it? I have to though cos its hung. Problem Reports and Solutions is useless of course it doesnt specify anything. If it wont damage the laptop then I can just keep pulling the plug when it happens.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been having major troubles getting my Vista 64-bit box to start up reliably.
Symptoms: During startup my Vista 64-bit machine unexpectedly "powers off" and the power button, reset button, and power switch stop working until I unplug the power cable on the back and plug it back in.
Workaround: If I boot into safe mode first, I can usually reboot back into Windows normally.
Triggers: This doesn't happen every time, although usually after Windows Update forces me to reboot it will happen. There was a power outage today and it took several reboots and unplugging the computer to get it to boot again afterwards.
Other issues: Lately when I try to put Vista to sleep, it doesn't always go into low power mode and seems to just leave everything on. Sometimes it never sleeps and goes back to the login screen immediately.
When the system dies, it usually makes this high-pitched whining noise just beforehand that I think may be the CPU - this noise happens on every boot, whether successful or not, but might be a clue about what triggers the power-off.
A friends relatively new Dell laptop running Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit. Downloaded SP2, but has hung for 3 hours at the "installing Service Pack 2 stage 3 of 3 - 92% complete. Do not turn off or unplug your Computer" stage. I had disabled all anti-virus and firewalling software.
I am told by friend that this is what happened when he first tried to install SP2, though he DID get through to 100% complete, before message popped up that installation failed and that his lappie would be rolled back to last good SP1 configuration. I have tried the wuauserv net stop bits net start bits repair.bat file that I read about elsewhere. His wife's exact same laptop (bought at same time, same configuration, same updates installed) installed SP2 no problems.
When I try to download a number of emails ore large emails, vist mail will process about 3/4 of them and then just hangs and can not down load any more.
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy computer hangs and doesn't came back even after 2 hours and it happens when i'm doing anything. it has hung twice just tring to write this question it hangs even when the computer is idle. and the only solution that works so far is to hit the reset button. if it helps here are my spec for my computer: Q6600, p35c-ds3r, gigabyte 8800gts, 4x kingston 1066MHz 1gig RAM, seagate 7200rpm 750GB hard drive. also have 3 fans keeping to cool 1 for CPU + 2 for case, none are overclocked.
