About 2 months ago I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my PC. About 2 weeks ago it starting rebooting sometimes when I open something like an image file or even Internet Explorer. It doesn't happen evey time and only happens about once a day (but only when I go to open something). I want to figure this out so that I don't lose any data or end up with some data corruption. I have run the Windows memory diagnostic tool and it didn't find any issues. The only event in the Event viewer that even related to the issue, was an event logged after it finished rebooting that stated the PC was shutdown improperly.
my computer has become laggy unlike before and also i am having alot of issues opening IE 8/Firefox with alot of crashes. So i just ran hijackthis and made a log. So any expert out there plzz take a look at the log and tell me if there is any harmful things that i might wanna check.
I keep having desktop crashes where the desktop disappears because windows explorer or word crashes leaving me with the only option to reboot how do I solve this
I finally decided to upgrade to Vista, and since I have 4GB ram I thought I'd give 64bit a shot. Every game I play crashes, or fails to load at all, or gets into the game and crashes during map load. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I have installed and re-installed the OS multiple times to no effect. I've downloaded all of the windows updates. During one of my first installs of vista, I was able to get in to games of codwaw, but then it would crash after about 5 secs.......
I am using windows vista ultimate x64, and in random times when i am playing some games like worldd of warcraft, oblivion, PES 2009 etc. the computer freezes and the screen becomes full of squares of the last image i saw before the computer crashed (like: if i was casting a spell in world of warcraft i would see that very screen but with little squares, can't really describe it as it's weird). I tried re-installing video drivers and i made sure they are for x64 vista version. My computer spec is:
Graphics Card: ATI RV770 [Radeon HD 4870] Audio: Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8600 @ 3.33GHz Motherboard: ASUS P5Q DELUXE RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) DIMM DDR Synchronous 800 MHz (1.2 ns)
I'm new to this forum, but I already some topics that are of some interest to me. I tried to find a solution for my problem, but I couldn't find any... I try to play Warcraft III and Fifa 09 and they bouth crash...Fifa verry fast and Warcraft in 10-15 minutes. The problem is identical - my computer freezes and some pixels go bannanas....i have the latest graphic card driver, recently installed latest DirectX and still no sollution... I used the System Info Tool from this forum, and atached the .txt to this post.
I am new in this forum and would like to have your opinions in a problem that I have. Currently I just purchased a new Dell XPS 730, and I did a clean install of Vista Ultimate 64. However, it crashes everytime I am playing games or watching DVD. I have also installed the latest Nvidia driver and directX
i have no idea how much information ya'll will need, so i'm gonna try to put as much as i can. forgive me if its too much. in short, while playing company of heroes my system randomly locks up, loops the last sound (usually gunfire) and the monitor goes completely white, olive/green, or blue. this usually happens after about an hour of playing. i read up on the problem, and found out that many people were having the same trouble i was. i've tried turning off dx10 and changing all of the visuals to 'high' (no ultra) which apparently has cured many other peoples' coh crashes...but it hasn't cured mine. to make matters worse, my system just crashed for the first time outside of coh today, while i was watching Internet. once again, an audio loop, and a wsod.
people have said that installing dx9 is the way to go, but that seems silly to me...and whats the deal with all these new colors of death? is microsoft trying to be a bit more colorful these days, or do they mean something? now, i wasn't really concerned about the crashes until it happened when i was surfing the web---these crashes had never happened during my marathon sessons of farcry2, or outside of coh...until today.......
I bought FM 2009 and today I finaly received it. But everty time I try to launch FM 2009 with Steam my PC crashes and turns into a blue screen with some text. it says delete the software which you just used. so I tryed to delete FM 2009 but I got the same message. some more info:
Probleemhandtekening: Gebeurtenisnaam van probleem: BlueScreen Versie van besturingssysteem: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3 Landinstelling-id: 1043............
Its been about 3 months now since i've been using vista and unlike my previous experience with other OS vista 64 is the worst of all........It crashes alot comparing to other OS and also it has a lot of incompatibly issues by that i mean here is a problem i am having nowdays with this Vista thingy OS. I already have .netframe 3.5 installed and still this application as well as some other works smoothly on other OS crashes on Vista. And due to these regurlar basis problem i think i might wanna give up and install either Linux or Ubuntu.
Keep getting APPCRASHES from all sorts of applications, ranging from Skype, to IE 7 and Microsoft Money. After watching these crashes for months, and using Process Explorer, it seems the common thread of the crashes is that OLE32.DLL is pointed to each time.
every time I start my computer, a message pops up and it says Windows explorer has crashed, and there are similar problems like this where people said that it was a loop, but this is no loop, the message pops up and it says that it has crashed, and it goes to windows search indexer has stopped working.
trying to run a MFC application which crashes as soon as I try and launch with the following:

Clean reinstall of Vista only two days ago, the program functioned correctly on the previous installation of Windows Vista. A friend connected via TeamViewer, and the program launched and functioned with no problems, its only when I attempt todo so.

i have vista home premium 64 bit installed on sony vaio fw 170(ram-4gb). Few days ago it got infected with agent2,ofg. Avg removed the threat. But ever since then, it is crashing/freezing/hanging randomly. I thought it might have more infections so I scanned with a-squared, malwarebytes and sophosrootkit: no infection was found.
I think I accidentally selected the option to open up all files in Internet Explorer when I got a pop-up requesting it when I tried opening a valid file.
Anyone know how to restore this on Windows Vista?I can't open MOST of my files (especially critical ones), let alone Internet Explorer or Firefox, only this Safari browser! :o
Somehow my Trash Bin icon has disappeared from my desktop and I can't even click on the Change Desktop Icons link after I right-click -> Personalize because of the above problem.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop with windows vista ultimate opearting system.. the perblem is my cd w drive doesn't opening ..also, when I clicked on computer icon, the cd drive doesn't apper.. I tried to install the drive from dell website , but it didn't worked.. should i format my laptop to solve this problem???..
I've been able to open attachments in Windows Mail, but something has changed and now I have to download them first. Is this something that's associated with IE 8,
PC has 2 users. One user cannot open any programs, web browsers etc. Upon clicking on the program one is given a screen saying Open with (then file/prog name). Recommended program which is always IE. Other user is fine.
For a short time I had installed pkzip. It is now uninstalled, but apparantly has left Windows Explorer as the program used to open zip files. When I click on a zip file, Windows explorer opens, closes, opens, closes ad infinitum. Only recourse is to force a reboot.
I would like to change the default opens with ... to something that works. I see that on my XP computer the recommended program for opening zip files is called "Compressed (zip) Folders". I can't find such a program on Vista. Also, the only recommended program showing up on Vista "Open With" is Windows Explorer, which I know is a disaster.I can right-click and select Extract All to work around this problem, but would like to get the Open function working correctly.
how to create a set association for attachments ending in .pps. I have found the default location in control panel but am afraid to click on any of the options lest it mess up the opening of other attachments.
i,ve been playing about on my satellite pro. got board at 3a.m yesterday. since then when i restart my laptop and logged in, when the start- up screen comes on there,s a cmd exe box that appears. inside the box the dialog goes off and on to quickly to be read, need help to get rid of this please, totally annoying and also how did it get there in the first place.
Been using the forums a lot. I downloaded 7zip for V64 as an msi file. I clicked it and nothing happens. I then associated it with msiexec.exe out of syswow64 and then system32, no luck. I keep getting a dialogue box listing batch mode flags.
When playing just any game it crashes and I get an error messege saying "Directx has encounterd an unrecoveralbe error"
and
Display driver "nvlddmkm" has stopped working.
Then the computer flickers in and out and I am forced to restart the computer manualy.
Thins I've tried is that I formated my main "C" harddrive and setup all newest drivers etc.
That didn't fix this.
Another thing I thought of is that the card was overheating, well it has a custom Thermal Right cooler and a 120mm fan but I still tried and opened up the case.
That didn't have any effect.
This is a strange problem because I am able to run tests such as 3d mark -Vantage, 06, 05 and 03 without any crashes..
I have a problem sometimes when i made a right click on random items on my computer, because while vista tries to display the right click menu an error appears saying that EXplorer has enconter a problem and must be restarted.
Sometimes does this, and sometimes not, but always when i right click an item.
I've installed windows vista ultimate x64 in a brand new Gateway GT4220m that originally came with Windos Vista Home Premium. After the drama to find the required drivers for it, all seemed to work fine. All updates for the system and the drivers where downloaded. Anyhow, suddenly the system started to show a warning telling that there was a problem with the STacSV.exe
Now it does not appear very often, but the system freezes and it is needed to reinitiate it turning off the machine. I've noticed that it hapens when I use itunes, WM or play pictures in a presentation mode. If the machine goes to hibernation mode, it won´t wake up, so it is needed to turn it off again. I am unable to use the windows media center as well. Would it be OK to reinstall all the drivers? Do I have to run the Windows Vista installation in repair mode or reinstall it clean again ?
