X64 Wont Install, Computer Freezes
Nov 30, 2007Purchased a copy of windows vista ultimate and installed the 32 bit bit version and everything runs perfect, however when i try to install the 64 bit version my computer freezes either during the installation or right after the install is complete.
Ive tried everything. Installed on different hard drive, used different memory, different power supply, different CD rom drive, absolutely nothing will get the installation to not freeze. The windows event viewer is useless. I even tried 3 different install cd's. It's not overheating as far as i can tell either. Like i said vista 32 runs perfect so i cant understand whats going on? Should I RMA my motherboard? Ever heard of a cpu being defective in this way

Sep 17, 2008About every couple of days, somewhere during the day the computer just freezes up entirely - can't close programs, can't even get the task manager to come up, etc. As such I can't do anything except turn the computer off. Then, when I turn it back on, of course it wants to boot back into safe mode. So I do that - then try restarting from within safe mode, and just about every time, when I try rebooting in that way, upon entering my password into the machine, the "Welcome" screen comes up and stays up for over an hour.

May 9, 2008I have an HP computer that was running Vista nicely and smoothly. However, it appears after downloading and installing Vista SP 1, the computer has a tendency of "freezing" and the only remedy is to press the power button. I did notice that when the computer freezes, my second bay DVD drive flashes, and the activity light on the console, which indicates HD activity, constantly flashes. It is a new HP Computer running Vista Premium Home.

Mar 29, 2009I've been having a problem with my computer for the last month. When starting up it freezes at the splash screen or the windows start-up screen. I may have to restart several times before it will fully start up. I ran the Western digital utility and the hard drive failed. So I installed a new hard drive and went from XP32 to Vista64. I still does it. I ran Memtest and the RAM is fine. I bypassed the surge suppressor and it still does it. Once it's running, it's fine. Other then leaving it on all the time,

Jun 13, 2009When my Vista Home Premium-SP1, is idle for awhile, the computer freezes. the screen is a grayish color and the mouse circle just keeps twirling. I have to manually re-boot. Everything is fine until I leave and come back...and it is frozen again. I cannot ctrl-alt-delete either. When I went to do a system restore, I saw that all my restore points were gone. How could this have happened? I thought maybe a windows update could be the source so I uninstalled the many updates (approx. 25). the next morning, I saw they had all returned even though I have it set not to download automatically.

Mar 23, 2008My computer (HP m9000t) freezes up after coming out of sleep mode. I have tried turning off sleep / hybrid sleep / hibernate, but the computer still goes into "sleep" of some kind. When it comes out of sleep, I can hear a whirling sound, which could be the harddrive starting up, but moments later it sounds like it spins down and stops, and then the whole computer freezes up, and I have to turn it off and then turn it back on in order to make it work again. I've tried to make it (using power options) so that the harddrive does not power down, but
that doesn't appear to do anything either, because the drive still turns off when the computer sleeps. Before this problem developed, I was having problems with the Media Center remote not working after sleep, and was also having problems with the usb ports, and the sound turning off.....................

Jun 6, 2008I have a brand new PC, with quad core Intel 3.2Ghz chip, 4 GB nVidia DDR3 Ram, twin Raid 300GB HD and a 500Gb HD. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. I have a linksys n-Wireless PCI card, and a 1 Gb nVidia GeForce 9800 Ultra.
The problem is that for no reason my computer has started freezing. Once during boot up. Several times whilst in Windows (with no programs running). Other times when running programs. The Freeze requires a reboot. All the device drivers are up to date and I have Vista SP1. I have also checked that all cards are correctly seated, and all cables properly pushed home.

Mar 23, 2008My computer is really slow then it just freezes after a while. This started a few days ago. I turned on my computer, had a bite to eat. Then when I went to my room, my computer suddenly re-started itself. Then I began to notice it was really slow; I looked at the clocked it it was reseted to like "12:00 am" and the date was like in year 2005." It frooze so I restarted and at the beginning I was able to run a
program but minutes later it begins to be really slow until it freezes for good.
So I just went to "safe" mode and the speed on my computer and everything is normal. It's just when I go into normal mode that's when it's just horrible. I scanned for virus and nothing; cleaned all cookies and such and it didn't work. I dunno what else to do.
Repair/reinstall Vista 64, Computer Freezes
Aug 3, 2009My computer freezes from time to time and I think I tried everything to locate what the problem could be. The event logs show nothing, I ran a memory test with no problem, (I have 4Gb), I checked my drive and had no problems. All my drivers are up to date and I have all the latest updates/service packs. So my last hope is to re-install Vista. Are there any easy steps to re-install Vista? Or do I have to format my machine and start from scratch? I don't want to re-install office and so on.

(Avast) cleaned my registery (I used a downloaded registry cleaner from a computer magazine website, they reviewed it, and i tried it) Disk Defrag used.

View 9 Replies View RelatedComputer Freezes While Compressing Files To A .rar Archive
Apr 26, 2008I recently got a new pc and installed vista ultimate 64 bit. It was going fine until I started playing games (this has happened on every game I tested so far). I'd be able to play for about 10 minutes to half an hour and then the entire computer freezes. It also happened once while i was compressing files to a .rar archive. I re-installed the drivers multiple times, installed the service pack and all updates, nothing I tried would work.
I then in my frustration reformatted the entire computer and only installed nvidias drivers without updating anything (or service pack) and I still had the problem. It's really frustrating me and it makes my computer unusable as I'm primarily a gamer.
Using Pcnow WebEx On 64bit, Computer Freezes
Oct 7, 2009So my laptop running XP crashed and my job requires me to be connected to a remote computer almost 10 hours out of the day. We use Web Ex PcNow which never gave me problems with XP (until it crashed the computer ) So now I'm running Vista 64bit on a borrowed laptop from the company. Here is what''s happening:In IE8 , right before I'm asked to enter my password to begin the session, the entire computer freezes.In Firefox 1.5 - 2.0 The computer also freezes at this point.In Firefox 3.x I am prompted to install the webex plugin and receive this error message : "Installation script not found" 204 In Opera - The computer doesn't freeze , but the password box never pops up. The pcnow tech support guy instructed me to download IE 7 as pcnow doesn't support IE 8 ( even though the site says IE 6 , 7 , or better. morons) or Firefox 2.0 As we all know, IE 7 won't even run on a vista 64bit , and 2.0 firefox was hard to find and didn't work out in the end anyway.
Note: When the computer freezes the clt alt del option doesn't work either. I am forced to manually restart. I've also tried using IE and Firefox in 32bit mode and it still freezes everything. Java is updated, firewalls down , pop up blockers disabled.
Visat 64 Bit Switch Users Computer Freezes
May 30, 2009The computer is less than 2 months old. We have four Users accounts set up on the computer and they are all setup as Administrators. When we switch between users the computer freezes up. The computer screen goes blank and a "NO SIGNAL" comes on the screen. I have to press the power button and the computer shuts down and then I can restart it. It happens every time. If I select the Start button then "Switch Users" it will go to the user I select but when I try to switch back the computers freezes, no mouse, no cursor, no key board, it flashes No Signal and then just a blank screen.
I have restored windows to earlier configurations, I have researched the problem on the internet through Google, I have gone to Microsoft's web site and searched for the answer and I have contacted Gateway and they had no idea. I created a Recovery Disk, backup all my settings and files, installed the recovery Disk and restored all the backup files, reinstalled all the programs and I still have the same problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedRemoving Virus Computer Show Down And Freezes
Mar 16, 2010Now. Two days ago, a Trojan got into my computer and latched itself onto Internet Explorer and the security center, posing as a security alert for Vista. I was able to open up the main virus scanner I use (AVG free edition) and root out the Trojan, isolate it, and destroy it. The only problem is that it seems to have corrupted the security center and done other things, too. Whenever I try and open up a program normally, I get the "Chose the program you want to use to open this file" screen, with IE as the only option (even if I'm trying to open IE) unless I select the Run As Administrator tab. Windows Defender is turned off, too, and its alert says "contact your system admin to enable Windows Defender via group policy".
I thought I should post this here, because it seems to be primarily be a problem with the security of the computer. Ever since removing the Trojan the computer slows down and eventually freezes when it is connected to the Internet. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to reinstall Vista (which I'm unsure about, because my laptop came with Vista pre-installed and the Vista disc I have belongs to someone else)?
New O/s New Install, Freezes?
Apr 13, 2008I have built a new system for the first time, specs are in my sig, and have made the decision to use 64bit Vista as this is my gaming pc and wanted to use all available ram. Now for my problem! I have installed the O/s and downloaded all available updates. However, when i go to install some programs my windows freezes, i can't even bring up the task manager and end up having to do a hard re-start. I tried to solve this problem by downloading the latest drivers for my hardware but the same problem occurs, halfway through my system freezes. This was the case for installing my mobo drivers. As i have managed to instal some games and can play them fine i would really like to get to the bottom of my problem so i can get it in good running order.

Jul 12, 2008i just bought vista x64, home premium sp1, and it's been nothign but hassle. i have been working with / repairing xp systems for 6 years now, there is not much that gets me on xp systems... vista however is different. i setup the system about 2 weeks ago, with new parts. the video card was backordered, so i used a 7600gt i had laying around instead. everything installed fine. i hadn't really used it, so yesterday when i recieved the other card, i thought i knew what to do. the new card is an ati hd2600, so i uninstalled the drivers for nvidia, changed out the cards, and it would freeze as soon as i could see the desktop everytime windows started. so i reformated. easy, as i had nothing on the system anyways. installed the ati card, worked fine. all the drivers back in, worked fine. now i am trying to install some programs, freezes everytime. one is nero 8, one is powerpoint viewer 2007. is there anything that works properly with x64? what benefits does x64 have? i haven't seen ANY yet.

This has happened with a few install attempts.

Jan 20, 2010This computer ran Vista x64 fine for over a year. I sold it to brought it back to me the other day stating it started up, but just a black screen. First thought was power supply. Replaced the power supply with a 500 watt Thermaltake. System POST's. Gets to windows screen with the loading bar. Freezes. Decide to re-install thinking maybe there was too many unsucessful boots.
Install is VERY slow. Never have I seen it do this. It takes forever to get into the language screen. Finally once installed, Freezes at the windows screen with the loading bar underneath, yet again. Fooling around, I popped out the CMOS battery and cut all power to the system (Resetting CMOS, yes I know I can do it via Jumpers as well but I dont have the manual handy) and low and behold once I replace the battery and reboot I get into vista. I shutdown, restart to see if everythings all set. Frozen at the windows loading bar screen again...............
