Crash Or Slow Down Vista It Usually Gets Documented In Vista's Error Logs

Jun 13, 2008

The often heard recurring theme spread by no nothing trolls and fanboys is if Vista isn't working right, it must be something you did rather than owning up to how badly Vista is designed once you start poking around and SEE how badly implemented it is. Much of the frustration with Vista comes from it's applets crashing or acting up for no apparent reason. Since these applets are INTERNAL and built-in as part of Vista's core the often heard excuse it's some third party driver, a hardware problem or other software you installed is proven to be bogus.

When something happens to either crash or slow down Vista it usually gets documented in Vista's Error Logs. However like most everything else Microsoft does, the logs are of little actual value other than pointing to how poorly designed and broken Vista really is.

To illustrate how broken Vista is, here's my experience this morning. As usual I started my day going to Google (my default home page) and clicking on News to see what the headlines were. Microsoft's browser hung. Waiting for it to respond, after 90 seconds I gave up and sure enough was treated to the usual BS asking if you want to wait longer or shut it down. I shut IE7 down. Next I went to Event Viewer......

Vista Crash By Ndiswan.sys

Aug 12, 2009

When I sleep Vista a 2nd time, this always eventually results in a crash by ndiswan.sys: A device object has been blocking an Irp for too long a time I hope this can be resolved!
May be I should do something with the verifier tool to analyze it more?

What happens the 2nd time I click sleep:
- The screen turns dark as usual
- Vista is roaring my hard drive for a bit
- This ends in a killing silence (normally in a shut down )
- just wait for 5 mins or something
- a blue screen presents itself (not sure)
- the computer reboots automatically (because default config tells
that it may reboot directly after a bluescreen)

When rebooted Vista reports that the system ended unexpectedly. I ran windbg several times on the crash dumps with the !analyze -v cmd, and every time the report is more or less the same:.....

Vista X64 Random Startup Crash...

Sep 9, 2007

Anyway, I was running Vista32 for about 6 months with no real problems. I changed to Vista64 last night so that I could start using my current 4GB of RAM and be ready for more later on. When I tried to install the files would copy to the HDD just fine, but when the PC would reboot for the first time it would crash at the "green motion bar" loading screen and restart... over... and over. I removed my extra hardware and went down to 2GB of RAM in dual channel mode and reduced timings from 4-4-4-12 to 5-5-5-18 and was able to install. I then got all updates and hadded my hardware back... no problems. I then added my other 2GB of RAM back... no problems. I then increased my timings back to the correct 4-4-4-12... no problems, or so I thought. I'm currently getting random crashes when loading Vista... same as before it will get to the "green motion bar" loading screen and either reboot or give a BSOD and force a restart. I've turned my timings down to 5-5-5-12 and it still happens... so I put them back to 4-4-4-12. I've heard that Vista x64 might have problems with 4GB of RAM on certain systems but I'm not sure how true this is. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of this and if there's any known fix for this? Maybe a beta update from MS or something? Also... once I get past this "glitch" and Vista loads... it runs rock solid with no issues. All my drivers are the latest available and signed as required. ((downloaded them all last night))

Here's my system, remember... I ran Vista32 for months without a problem on the same system.

Asus P5N32-E SLI (latest BIOS 1205)
nVidia 7900GS (not using SLI)
Corsair 4-4-4-12 DDR2 RAM *SLI Ready* (4 matched sticks of 1GB each)
Antec TruePower 650 PSU PCI-E & SLI Ready
C = 320GB SATA2 Seagate
D = 400GB SATA2 Seagate
E = 400GB SATA2 Seagate
F = 500GB SATA2 Maxtor
G = 500GB SATA2 Maxtor
H = Lite-On SATA 20x SuperMulti Burner
J = 400GB IDE Seagate (will be removed, being used for data transfer from 32bit Vista for now)I'm tempted to go back to 32bit just because of the startup crash... but then I can't access my full 4GB of RAM.... goods and bads no matter what I do.

Vista Aero Crash On ASUS M51 Series

May 12, 2010

I got an ASUS M51 laptop 2 years ago with Vista Ultimate 32. I felt pretty good about the machine, until I connected a second LCD monitor with DVI connection. Connecting with VGA port had no crash problem, but I prefer using DVI with a HDMI/DVI cable. Using non-Aero theme had no problem.

Occasionally the system reported graphic card driver crashed and tried to recover. Sometimes the system recovered, more often not, leading to total crashing of Windows.

Surely I did the following:

1. Reinstall the latest graphic drivers.

2. Reinstall the latest ASUS splendid utilities.

3. Keep Windows patches updated.

4. Install and uninstall some Windows hot fixes, as suggested by some newsgroups' posts.

5. Many other methods.

None worked. So I gave up Aero for almost a year. Until I read a post when searching for answer about mysterious disappearing of desktop icons when the desktop is refreshing sometimes. The post had the finger pointed to Power4Gear eXtreme. For some reasons, the default settings of Miscellaneous power settings of the Quite Office profile will hide desktop icons. After changing the setting to No, the desktop icons stay still forever. And the Windows graphic driver crashing occurred less often.

As the crashing still happened, so I uninstalled ASUS Splendid utilities. And crashing of graphic driver never come back.

Blue Screen And Crash On Vista Ultimate 64

Slow Performance Within Vista

Nov 8, 2007

I've finally decided to jump on the Vista boat ( or off the XP boat as it may be ), so I've installed Vista64 on my secondary hard drive and have been trying to get it in shape to use all week.

Unfortunately it hasn't been going smoothly. I've had no crashes or lockups to speak of, but my performance within Vista is just abysmal. The windows chug as they scroll around, and launching Internet Explorer is an exercise in frusteration. In particular, any page with a Flash ad running at the top absolutely cripples me.

I'd have to guess that something is amiss with my graphical setup. I'm using an EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS as my display adapter, which is currently rated 2.9 in Windows Aero, and 5.9 for Gaming Graphics. Everything else is right around 5.0. The Gaming score seems on par with what I've heard elsewhere, but 2.9 seems pretty low for Aero. Does this sound funny to anyone else?

I've installed every update available, with the exception of Extras and Language packs. I've gotten the latest Forceware driver for Vista64 ( 169.04 ), as well as all the Windows Update hotfixes that Nvidia reccomends.

Does anyone have any further suggestions that I should try? Or does anyone have similar hardware with much better performance?

Slow Boot Vista Ultimate

Dec 30, 2008

I've tried all the common fixes posted around the net. I get a two minute boot in safe mode and in reg mode with nothing in the startup. I feel that after looking at the bootlog file that it has something to do with drivers that don't load during the boot. According to the log I have dozens and dozens of drivers that apparently don't load. Here is a sample of the log. I don't enclose the whole log because it is very large. I will if necessary:

ATI Vista 64 Drivers: Machine Slow Down

Sep 10, 2007

My friend and I have been going back and forth about his computer for a while. When Vista is installed it runs fine. Its not until we add the ATI vista 64 drivers does the machine slow down to a crawl. Originally this was with an x1600xt so we upgraded to the hd2600xt. Same issue. Now comes the weird part. So we got our hands on a single core amd 64 3200+ cpu and put it in. Now the machine runs fine. Why would using a dual core processor slow the machine down significantly. He has set up a dual boot with xp 64 and it runs fine with the x2 processor.

Do You Think Windows Is Slow, Crash-prone, Or Unreliable? Join The Crowd.

May 8, 2008

Im posting this to the XP newsgroup too, just so they can be even more warned about how bad vista is, and to avoid it. I still cannot understand how stupid some vista fanboys like frank and others are about vista. Here all the world is saying vista is crap, yet they put their fingers in their ears and march to their own microsoft vista tune!

read the rest of this article on the above link. Do you think Windows Vista is slow, crash-prone, or unreliable? Join the crowd. Over the past year, reviews of Windows Vista by mainstream media outlets, the technical press, bloggers, and ordinary users have been, for the most part, scathing. And many of those bad reviews were absolutely accurate..........

Vista Terribly Slow To Copy Files?

Mar 1, 2009

Vista SP1. It took over THIRTY FIVE minutes to copy 2.4 GB of files to a
pen drive.
Copying the same 2.4 GB of files from the pen drive to my Linux Netbook
took less than FIVE minutes.
Why is Vista so appallingly slow at copying?

Vista Software Pretty Slow Running

Mar 23, 2008

Vista is good looking software, but pretty slow. Altough my computer has no problems running it, because there's WAY enough power to do that. BUT, some serious issues have come up. And the most worst and annoying thing is the lag in games, internet etc. There's this lagspike that comes every 10 to 60 seconds. When youre playing a game that needs connection to internet example Guild Wars, it's annoying. There's no way you can play the game properly. First this lag wasn't so bad, but it has come to a point where the whole game disconnects from the server because lag is too long. This problem is experienced by many people and they are as annoyid as I am. More specificly the problem is experienced with wlan connections. I hope Microsoft quickly fixes this major problem.

Diagnose A Slow Vista Home Basic Machine?

Feb 25, 2009

A friend found out that I have a Vista computer so he brought me his wife's computer to find out why it is so slow. I have no problems with mine but this Vista Home Basic PC is ungodly slow. Just to open an Explorer window takes over 90 seconds. I scheduled a checkdisk and ran it on the next reboot. I defragged and ran the disk cleanup wizard. I downloaded and reinstalled the ATI video drivers after seeing an eror message about ATI. It is slightly faster but not enough to make any difference to the user. Where do I find the diagnostics, or logs or something that can tell me what is slowing it down so that I can fix it? I couldn't find a diagnostic on the eMachine site. My last option will be to reformat and start over but I'd rather not do that if there is a way to fix it instead. It's an eMachine with only 512 MB RAM, but it did run much faster when new. Intel Pentium 3.0 GHz, 160 GB HDD. Also the wireless card is very slow, but the wired connection is pretty fast for downloading.

Search: Vista Doesn't Find And Extremely Slow?

I just cant' seem to get search to work worth a damn in Vista. Files that I know I have Vista doesn't find and it is extremely slow. I'm not a computer expert by any stretch, but I never had trouble with using search in XP.

I do like much about Vista, just need a search feature that doesn't search for stuff like my kids would. Anyone point me to a program that works with Vista and is safe to use?

Vista 64 Home Premium Running Slow, Volmgrx.sys Corrupt

Mar 10, 2009

Vista 64 home premium is suddenly very slow, too slow to the point of programs not even launching. When trying to start in safe mode with networking, got a "repair" notice and then it tried to do a repair, saying that the volmgrx.sys was corrupt. However, the repair reported that it failed. I tried a system restore, and after seeing the "system restore is initializing" for over 12 minutes, I hit the power switch. It will start up in normal mode, but the disk activity light almost never goes out and is on almost solidly. I tried to copy the volmgrx.sys from a sister machine (two were ordered at the same time from HP), and then found that even in safe mode with command prompt, the file was protected. Is there a another way to copy over that file, or is that a "custom-made" file during the first turn-on of Vista?

VISTA And XP Not Display Error

Jun 20, 2009

Unfortunately, everything I tried failed to get VISTA and XP to not display the error: "Network path not found." I just about gave up when I came across something that worked. All I needed was to access each computer's files via the others. I found a "back door" entrance to both computers. Here's the situation: Both computers could "ping" each other by IP address only, not name. In each operating system, in the Run command from the Strart menu, I typed 2 backslashes "\" plus the IP address of the other computer. Magically, all the shared folders from the other computer displayed on the other computer!!! and vice versa. I was not able to copy over older files as I still received a nasty warning saying that "I did not have permission..." or something like that. To get around that, I just copied the files I needed from one computer to a different folder on the other computer (eliminating copying over the other folders and eliminating the warning). Then, I went to the other computer and just copied the files over the older ones and the replacement/updating of files was complete. It's a little bit of a hassel but it works (extend middle finger to Microsoft).

To this day, I don't understand how Microsoft can put out a product that does not work with previous versions OF THEIR OWN PRODUCT!!!!!! amazing. Once again, thanks to all who helped. One last note: I can share printers by "browsing" the other computer when you want to print something, buy IP address and not name... Works like a charm.
