Having Errors And Bluescreens

Oct 7, 2009

I'm having errors and bluescreens with my computer recently. Sometimes it will run and operate normally, others it will stop running applications, and give a bluescreen then shutdown. From reading others posts I have learned I need to give a description and a dump file, so I hope I can do both correctly. If any solutions posted please give specific directions, I am pretty good with the operating system, but fixing problems can be troublesome for me.

Bluescreens When I Close The Lid Of My Laptop

Jul 28, 2008

I'm running Vista x64 Ultimate on a new Dell XPS 1330. I have set the laptop lid power option to "do nothing" (as I've always done). Whenever I close the laptop lid, however, it looks like the machine attempts to suspend, then it reboots and comes back with the "Windows has recovered from a mighty serious error" message. I've searched and searched and not found any answer to this. All my drivers are up to date, I've WindowsUpdated, and I have no oddball hardware etc.

Randomly Shuts Off

Feb 19, 2008

My computer has started shutting off randomly within 5 mins of startup. By shutting off, I mean it just turns off...no BSOD, no errors, just turns off...at random intervals that are usually within five mins. I updated my display drivers a few days ago, and they're currently at the highest version, but it's been a few days, and this just started this morning. It seems to be fine in safe mode (which I'm in now to post this)...which leads me to think it is, in fact, display drivers...but they're up to date, I have no solution there...now what?

Rebooting Randomly

May 13, 2008

I have a computer running Vista Ultimate w/ all the latest updates (including SP1) and latest drivers/bios from the manufacturer and my computer looks like it is rebooting randomly in the middle of the night. I noticed I leave it on all the time and my apps are closed. When I look in the event log, it says: The previous system shutdown at 4:02:19 AM on 5/13/2008 was unexpected. I also checked if there are any memory dumps and there aren't any. I'm stumpted why this is happening if this is due to a hardware failure or a software/driver crash related issue.

Router Randomly Dissconnects.

Aug 12, 2008

Ok, my friend asked me a few days ago to help him fix his router. Its a Belkin N1.

It keeps knocking of at random times every few minutes. I have tried everything I know to solve the problem but nothing seems to work. He can connect to his neighbours internet and it stays connected but when he connects to his own it goes offline after a few mins.

Computer Turning Off Randomly

Feb 15, 2009

I was sitting there and my computer just shut off randomly. I got a message saying something like windows needs to be repaired or something so I clicked the button to repair it. I go downstairs and watch a movie, and then I come back up and I see a black screen with the mouse pointer doing the loading animation. So I leave it for about 2 more hours and still nothing happens, I turn it off manually.

Now I have to create a new user account, but I cant because it shuts off after about 1 or 2 minutes of running. I finally got that done and when I click on my user account to start up it shuts off after about 30 seconds on the desktop. The only way it will run is if it is in safe mode. I am even on it now writing this message. It runs great in safe mode... what do I do? I don't have a Vista disk anymore...

Freezes While Streaming (and Randomly)

Jan 14, 2009

I have an issue wherein Vista (Ultimate 64-bit) Will freeze up completely forcing me to reset / reboot. This has occurred a few days after I put the computer together and installed all the software. It does not happen reliably. The first two times it happened, I was using Firefox in a window, in front of a video game (in windowed mode). This does not happen every time I do that, and has not happened from doing that in about a week.

The problem recently resurfaced in a more reliable fashion while using the Play-On media server software to stream Hulu to my Xbox. The computer froze after about 5 minutes of doing this, and then after about 8 minutes of doing this. I re-installed the most recent network driver, and tried switching ethernet ports. Next time it happened after about 10 minutes, twice in a row. So this is a very reliable circumstance to cause the freeze..........

Randomly Powers Off Without Warning.

Aug 12, 2009

My Vista x64 PC is randomly powering off. MSI Neo4 Diamond MB, AMD athlon 64 X2 4200+ CPU, 2G ddr2-800 ram, 1TB and 500GB SATA drives, ATI Radeon HD4350 video card. started a couple months ago. either you get into Vista and are working and suddenly pow... it goes off like pulling the power cord. sometimes it will do it right before the screen gives you the login to Vista..Thought it was a power issue and upgraded a 500W supply to a 750W modular unit. No change... have completely disassembled the unit, cleaned everything, cleaned the CPU/heatsink and put new Arctic silver in.

I can sit in bios all day watching the hardware monitor and the CPU never get's over about 30-31 Degrees C. Voltages are good and steady. as soon as it's booted to Vista, it starts... even sitting idle it will do it. I have Windows XP and Windows 7 RC on the 500G drive. if I boot to either of those OS's, it will run for days without ANY issues... it is ONLY vista that has the issue. I thought it may have been the drive, so I made an image and restored it to the 500GB drive, then removed the 1TB drive from the system... Same issues.

Programs Randomly Uninstall Very Often.

May 27, 2008

I have Vista Business x64 SP1. I'm having a problem where programs will suddenly be gone from my system. I used to think this only happened when booting up, but I have noticed that the programs can disappear even when Vista's been running for a while. Here are some of the programs that disappear: SQL Server Management Studio, Java, Logitech SetPoint x64, Firefox, SQLNCLI, Lexmark printer drivers, Visual SVN (A Visual Studio 2008 plugin). The weird thing is, not all of the program's files will be gone. For instance, the folders will still be there and some of the files will be too, but some of the files necessary for the program to run will be gone.

Some times, but not all, when I boot my computer the ethernet port will not work. If I plug the cable into my other ethernet port, I will get internet, but not through the first one. If I reboot the system, I'll get a connection through the port. If I try to Disable and re-enable the port, windows will run up one of the processors and the system will be unresponsive for a while. After 5-10 minutes, it will finish, but it is then not possible to re-enable the port. I've had a problem with SetPoint disappearing before SP1, but only noticed the other programs disappearing recently.

May 27, 2008

I know this is not new but after some time using vista the system just freezes, no sound, no UI, then all of a sudden it tries to generate a report with the blue screen of death... fails and then restarts. At the moment the machine restarts.
BAM! The system says there is no hard drive and no booteable devices. I unplug everything. power off the system and then on again and then vista loads normally WTH!?

Mouse Randomly Freezes

Apr 2, 2009

It's weird, my mouse randomly freezes for about half a second to about 5 seconds from time to time. Sometimes it get stuck permanently, but will work if I unplug it from the USB port and plug it back in. Everything continues to function normally, so it doesn't appear as if other things are freezing up in any way. I have unplugged most of my peripherals in hopes of finding a cure, but it hasn't happened yet. I've tried a different mouse (both optical.) I've tried different USB ports. The problem only started a couple of months ago...I don't know if it started after an update or something.

Internet Randomly Disconnect

Apr 29, 2010

I'm trying to download a file from a private server which is about 16 GB. Undoubtedly, this takes very long, and I usually leave my computer to do its thing while I'm at school, but the internet randomly disconnects and the download won't resume. I diagnose and repair the internet and it comes up with

1. plug a cable into the network adapter "local area connection* 10"
2. Move your computer to another loaction (or something like that)
3. Automatically get a new IP.This is getting very irritating and it happens around 37% and 25% of my file.

Dvd Drive Disappears Randomly

Feb 6, 2010

I am new to this forum. This is my first post. Anyways, I have a dvd drive (Hitachi that is detected in the bios and sometimes by windows vista home premium) This is stock on my laptop, both the operating system and the dvd drive. I have not ever added another os or did a factory restore. I contacted my laptops brand (gateway) and they told me a factory restore was needed before sending this machine back. Things I have tried...

- System restore to an earlier point in time (don't have any to that point)
- Deleting upper and lower bounds in the registry
- uninstalling the driver for the dvd drive, but it detects and installs it upon reboot........

It disappears randomly whether i am burning something or just looking at a disk. The only way i can get it temporarily back is by Microsoft's fix it tool. However, it disappears randomly other times. Now my question is this. instead of doing a factory restore, can i just put an external hard drive in and install vista os on the portable usb hard drive. Once installed, can i copy my registry keys from one os to another? If so, does anyone know where i could find these and which keys they are? That way, i wont lose my settings and programs. if i need to install a few programs because i need to delete a few things, so be it. I just don't want to lose everything.

How Appearance Change Randomly ?

Aug 26, 2009

Made a topic about .avi, .ico, etc being at the end of the names of things. Dunno if it got answered, managed to find an answer somewhere else. Anyway, ever since I got it back to normal, the views in folders keep changing randomly. In my documents I always have the view as small icons.But now that's gone and it's just got them lined up in a single line. How can I fix it? And why do the appearances of all my folders keep changing randomly?

The CPU tempearature is about 50-60C while playing and the GPU is about

Freezes Randomly During The Antivirus Scanning

Sep 2, 2009

I have a problem with my PC (vista). It just freezes randomly while I am working on it. It also freezes during the Antivirus scanning (avast), windows defender scanning and windows update. I cannot do anything except turn it of manually (ON/OFF). It also freezes when I insert a usb drive, and recently is making strange sounds (beebs,toot) as some creatures are living inside it. (It also freezes in safe mood). Moreover, a blue screen appeared morethan once and I don't know if the problem is due to a virus or an error in the system.

Frozen, LOCKED UP Randomly The Computer

Sep 3, 2008

I recently built a computer with Vista Ultimate 64bit. I absolutley love it and have only had two problems. LOCKED UP Randomly the computer will just lock up. No graphical glitching, no errors, no nothing. In fact if you just came in the room and looked at the screen everything would appear normal. This happens when doing any manner of things. It has happened when playing games, surfing the net, working on a document or even when the computer is left on overnight.

Its very sporatic too. I have gone a whole week without it happening with turning the computer on and off. I have also had it happen a few times within a few hours. Sometimes I can leave the computer on for a few days and it wont happen, sometimes it will happen right after I have signed in..............

Just Randomly Gained 2GB Disc Space...

Jul 14, 2009

I turned my computer on today and nothing out of the ordinary happened, but I noticed my disc space went from its previous 168GB to 170GB. I assume it's just because it cleared 2GB of uneccecary files. I doubt it's a problem, though, just wanted to ask you guys to make sure.

Also, is it enough to run weekly scans on all my drives with McAfee VirusScan and Windows Defender, or does it have the potential miss things?

Display Setting Randomly Switching

Mar 18, 2010

My desktop PC was hooked up to my TV and would randomly switch to using the TV as the main monitor often disabling my monitor. I thought it was my NVIDIA card so I upgraded to a newer ATI card. The new card has 2 monitor outputs and a S-video output. The problem no appears to only happen overnight. The next morning my PC is still on and awake but the display is changed to a lower setting. I have to enable a second monitor, which i do not have, before it will allow me to fix the resolution of the monitor I do have.

Right now I have a bigger problem where it looks like it switched the TV to being the main monitor and I no longer have a TV hooked up (Its mounted on another floor of my house) so I cannot get to the screen to fix the problem. I tried plugging the monitor into the other port (sometimes it just switches ports) but that is not the problem.

Computer Randomly Changes Monitor Works

Feb 27, 2009

I don't know what is going on. I updated to Windows Vista from XP about a week ago. Installed all my drivers and everything worked great for three or four days. But, all the sudden and for no reason at all I woke up one morning and only had one monitor able to recieve a signal from my computer. I checked all my connections, checked all my equipment to make sure nothing was broke, updated all my drivers.

Now it's just funny. When I restart my computer sometimes my computer randomly changes which monitor works. Sometimes both work fine, sometimes both work but they're switched (it thinks the second monitor is the primary and vice versa). Sometimes both will work fine until I do something, for example if I'm browsing the internet and I click on a random link a monitor will just lose signal. Sometimes they both lose signals.

Windows Explorer Crashing Randomly

Mar 23, 2008

I am using an Asus G1S with Vista Home Premium 32 installed. I've had my computer since June of last Year. It's been working perfectly fine up until about a week ago. Windows Explorer started crashing multiple times and randomly. There has been no reason for it and I can't duplicate it. Sometimes it's after I finish watching a video file in Media Player Classic, sometimes when coming back from sleep mode. I've tried reading for solutions and can't find anything similar to my problem. I've reported and searched for fixes every time but to no avail.

This is the Error report I am receiving.

Real Player Just Popping Up Randomly

Mar 31, 2009

I have no idea why Real Player is popping up randomly. Not when I boot up from a shutdown or restart, just doing usual business on my laptop. I imagine you want me to take note when this happens, but it is really strange behavior. I thought my default player was Windows Media Player, but I could have changed that because I was having problems gettng my iPod to sync.

Automatic Updates, Randomly Restarting

Mar 23, 2008

My computer will shutdown improperly during the night. I thought it was the automatic updates, but I checked the update center and it says nothing has been done. Sometimes, when it is sleeping and I try to start it back up, it will also shutdown for no apparent reason.
