View 6 RepliesI get the BSoD about once or twice a day probably because of my video drivers, but I'm not sure how to fix it. My screen also flickers a lot and a message in system tray says something "has stopped responding and has recovered." These are the problem details I get after my computer boots up again:

when i upgraded to SP2 my start button stopped responding to my mouse click. i tried goin back to SP1 but it still didnt work? when i try to right-click on the start orb it comes up but with three black rows at the bottom of the right-click menu? i had to download that "Vista Start Menu" just to use it again but i'd rather have the normal start menu.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find all filenames with a ( in a certain folder. Vista is returning to me all files with a ( in any attribute. How do I do what would seem to be this simple task?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a folder, _savedoc, and I've got it for all received attachments. Any mail that comes with an attachment, I click to save and it goes to that new folder.
But...in that folder, there is only than filename and size. But since they are sorted by filename, I can't tell if something came today or a year ago.
Any idea why the date does not show?
I have a lot of files and I have all the names organized. I set up Tversity to transcode video to my PS3 and it works great except for one thing. I'd say about 1 out of 15 files have the wrong filename, however, the filename displayed through Tversity on the PS3 is the original filename of the file. Some of these videos I changed the filename right after I finished downloading them MONTHS AGO. And yet Tversity still sees the old filename where on my PC the filename is displayed correctly.
This is not the worst of the bug, if I try to play any of the files with the wrong filenames from Tversity on the PS3 then the Tversity media server on my computer crashes. I doubt this is a problem with Tversity because the old filename shouldn't even exist. Somehow the old filename still exists on some level on my PC.
except for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now. And can you guess how many processes show up in TaskManager? 26. ONLY TWENTY SIX. My IE8 starts up lightning fast and swings by all sites except videos, for certain sites w/FlashPlayer & Videos I enable CompatibilityView which aligns those older sites to IE8.
Applications startup as if they were already loaded into Memory, faster than in WinXP. Who knew? It feels like quad-core at 4GHz, seriously. Everything is momentary as if it were loaded from RAM This OS is still a failure, however, versus WinXP. Are you shocked to hear "failure" after my praises, do I contradict myself? No. Because most people are far from my tenacity and just by education, hobbies and profession I alway stune up things to perfection. My cheap car leaves far more expensive models wondering what rocket had just passed them on LIE Expressway. I enjoy tinkering with technology.
It took me 2 weeks (?) to tune up Vista beast to be a polished fast, bug-free beast. It's more convoluted than was tuning WindowsXP. I spent several days in Registry, GroupPolicies, SecPolicies, filesystem digging out and blatantly renaming & moving system files no one is supposed to touch.........
I need to change the display filename colors in Vista Windows Explorer similar to the MAC O/S Feature. This question does NOT deal with Encrypted Files or Compressed Files. I simply want to change the display names of the files to colors such as BLUE, GREY, etc., just like I can do on the MAC O/S for the past 5 years.
I do NOT want to use any third party software file managers. There must be a way to do it in Windows since APPLE has been doing it for 60 months now. I can't believe that Windows STILL Cannot perform this simple task! If you have a working solution using Windows Explorer please email me and let me know.
This happens to me every morning when I turn my computer on after having it off all night.
I turn on my computer. Windows loads then I get a message (as soon as windows is done loading all up) that "Windows will be shutting down in less than a minute."
So it shuts down, restarts, and when it gets back on my User Account Control is turned off. So I turn User Account Control back on and it's fine until the next morning. Sometimes, but not often it will do this after my computer has been Hibernating for a while.
My computer just powers off wothout warning sometimes then won't turn on again for several minutes. The computer hasn't been overheating or even under heavy load when it happens. Which piece of hardware is the cause of my trouble so that I can replace it? The motherboard is an ABIT IS7, the PSU is a Coolmax 450W, and the CPU is a 2.8GHz P4 Northwood. Or is the problem with something else?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an HP dv9000 laptop running Vista premium SP1. Both before and after installation of the service pack I have been getting occasional complete lockups, with the mouse, and keyboard both inactive and the disk access light off. The only way out is the power button. The system is about six months old, has no malware on it, has the latest BIOS installed and passes memtest. I have turned off folder indexing, updated all drivers from the manufacturer and, except for this issue, the system runs well and fast.
The lockups might occur once every couple of weeks --- usually, but not always, when surfing. I have not been able to reproduce the problem and it does appear to be truly random. Does anyone have any ideas what I might try next. The only other thing that happens is that when press the slash key I get his character:? or this one in upper case:? My keyboard is set to English.
I leave my desk top on all the time and it works fines. Randomly (weeks can go by) while using it, it just shuts down. I will hit the power button it reboots and it goes directly to where it was when it shutdown and will not have lost anything. Some times I can here it reboot all by itself when I am not even using it. Can anyone tell me what this might be

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen 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..
Well I built my first pc in about three years, and I have an issue with random lockups. Did the ram thing where I did one stick at a time and lockups still took place. Removed Souncard and used onboard still locks up. CPU Temps are good (Using Ultra 120)..........
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running it on Chieftec 410W PSU, which according to ASUS PSU calculator is enough. Actually my previous S939 system needed more(400W) power than my new system(350W) according to ASUS PSU calculator, and it ran well. It quite old though. 3 years probably, but it's not making any noise and it isn't running hot. It has a big 12cm fan which is running fine and apparently doing a good job.
After Vista reinstall my system randomly, completely shuts down (like when unplugged from power outlet) 2-5 minutes after booting up. Booting process is actually succesuful. All drivers running. I checked ;..........
my problem is that every few seconds my PC suffers from a quick CPU spike that lags the PC's frame rate, but not sound. I've tried running safe mode and this problem does not happen, which says to me that it's a driver problem. i've checked through Windows and my drivers are all up to date and i have problems updating my graphics drivers manually from the website. the spikes arn't a major problem for generally use but it makes reaction based gaming (FPS for example) incredibly hard.
i've also tried:
• checkdisk
• sfc /scannow
• defragmantation
•virus scans
and some other possible "solutions" i've found across the web.
I was wondering if anybody out there is having freezing/random restart problems using Asus' p6t deluxe MOBO or having problems using Corsair's 6GB 1333Mhz ddr3 tri channel (TR3X6G1333C9) while using Ultimate64.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI switched from x86 to x64 Vista Business. I did it because of upgrading from 2GB to 6GBs RAM. Install and updates went fine and then I saw, task manager detects only 5Gigs of ram. So I went to BIOS and set memory remap to Enabled. And after than, Vista detects all 6Gigs but have a random freezes after about 5 to 10 minutes running. I have the latest drivers, updated system and latest BIOS.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of trying to diagnose an issue with my new system. I recently purchased a new system to play host to multiple VMs that I require for development. I decided to go with 8GB of memory and therefore chose Vista x64 for the OS, which I installed from my MSDN disk. This computer also moonlights as my wife's gaming computer (Sims 2) and does see the occasional game of Crysis.
Everything was running perfectly until after I installed VMWare Workstation 6.0.3. Initially, the computer would seemingly lockup at random during periods of disk I/O while installing programs on the VMs. When the lockup occurs, the harddrive light goes out as well as the lights on the keyboard and mouse, though the monitor stays on; i.e. no blue-screen. The only way to continue is to reset..........
While doing day to day activities, my computer will slow down to unusable speeds, for about 20 seconds, then go back to normal performance. My drivers are up to date, and Windows Update offers no more updates available.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with every game I play crashing to desktop. I always get the error stating something to the effect of "this program stopped working and will now close". I have had a bit of a look at other posts with similar errors yet the solutions seem to be mostly based on the specs of each computer. At first I thought it was a cooling issue, however I don't think so as the majority of things are running at about 55 deg (celcius). Additionally, all my driver's are up to date and I have also re-installed my graphics card drivers and the problem still occurs. Attached is a system Diag so you can see what's what. If you need any more info I'll gladly provide it. I could also provide performance and reliability results if you wish.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Windows Vista ultimate. I have random drops from Internet, the only way to fix it is by rebooting the system. i tried disconecting the modem, restarting the modem, logging off from my user, nothing works. Only rebooting. I have a USB modem ( i know it´s not the best but this never ever happened on XP) and i´m using Vista ultimate. I don´t have any fancy network, just my pc conecting to internet threw the usb adsl modem. I tried pinging Google and it was successfully. But Firefox, neither IE worked

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyway, 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

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.
Everytime i start up vista most of my programs 'dont respond' and vista prompts me to close them. This happens with 7-8 programs, but as soon as this is done. i can re run the programs afterwords without any problems. Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? ive run a virus scan and spyware scan and nothing has come up.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn short, my computer randomly restarts. This is obviously a problem but I haven't the slightest clue where to start. I built the computer a few days ago, my first time mind you, so I am willing to swallow my ego and realize this could be my fault.
View 5 Replies View Relateda few weeks ago, random e-mails began disappearing from my inbox in windows mail. for example, all of yesterdays e-mails were there this morning and were gone this afternoon. my husband has not had this problem. also, around the same time e-mails started disappearing, all the messages that were still in the inbox showed up in bold as if they hadn't been read. i'm not super computer savvy, but I can usually figure basic things out.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a HP a6200n which works relatively well. The only complaint is that frequently (at least once daily) the system will lock up. When this occurs the only way out is to hold the power button down and reboot. When the system locks, the screen will actually freeze the contents and make it appear somewhat 'snowy'. This happened on a factory system OUT OF THE BOX. So I know this wasn't due to application software I loaded on top and I doubt very much it was a virus the system picked up.
Since this started I have done a full virus scan and also have reviewed the event logs after each fail and nothing in there is obvious. There's an 'unexpected reboot' message there from my forced power down. I've gone to nVidia to download the latest nForce 430 drivers which has not helped. It seems ahead of what MS is pushing as the version I have is dated 12/07 and the auto updates are telling me to pick up a 7/07 version. I've also loaded SP1 and all of the HP/MS updates a person can handle. Has anyone experienced this.
