I have had 5 BSODs in the past week, 2 today in fact. Most of the time the computer is idle when it BSODs, sometimes I will just boot it, log in, and then after 10 min. or so it will BSOD, so I don't know of any reliable trigger.I am using Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit on my Dell Dimension 1525 that I purchased in August 2008. It came with Vista Ultimate 32-bit and I installed this Windows 7 64 in May 2010 I believe.
View 2 RepliesI have been experiencing various BSODs over the past month on my computer, which I only built this January. They mostly happen while my computer is idle, but occasionally they occur while I am doing general activities, like browsing folders or the Internet. Recently I've seen them while starting games (tonight it was GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City), but most of the time I can play games for hours without experiencing BSODs.

I have tried reinstalling my OS. I am not overclocking. I've run MemTest in overnight tests, first on one stick, then the other, than both sticks - no failures. I've tried to make sure all my drivers were up to date, and I've turned Driver Verifier on - had a few related BSODS but haven't been able to track down any conclusive info on what they indicate. I've also run FurMark to stress test my GPU, and that test passed. I have also downloaded Crystal Disk Info and HD Tune to test my SSHD and HD, and both look to be fine.I am not sure what else to do... I think it is either the SSHD or drivers, but I`m not sure how to further track that down.
I've included as much information that I can think of about this problem. I've been getting random blue screens for months now at idle and while starting up. I saw a post about using Avast, which I was and have removed, and started using MSE.When I removed it, my computer ran about 6 days straight with no problems so I thought maybe that fixed it. However, I had a BSOD this morning when I got up and have had about 3 more in just the last hour.I do need to say that when I got this motherboard the IDE did not work. I didn't think much of it since I wasn't going to be using it. I know, I should have sent it back so that was my mistake. The OS is about 6 months old and the rest of the hardware, except for the video card, is about 1 1/2 years old. The VC is around 10 months old. I've also tried updating and rolling back drivers without success.

I'm wondering if there's a way to set my computer's power settings to turn on automatically every now and then since I won't have direct access to the physical computer to turn it back on, in case it crashes, or the power goes out. I only see settings to auto-shutdown or sleep the computer at certain times, no turn on options.

I was just wondering whether or not it's unusual to have to run Chkdsk every three days or so, seeing as though my computer becomes very slow and unresponsive after a few days after running Chkdsk. After I run Chkdsk the computer is fine for a few days, but like I said, it becomes slow and unresponsive soon after. Each time I run it, new bad clusters are found.

i was shuting down my pc last week after using it all day with no problems when a blue screen appeared and the machine rebooted.I shut it down properly and it was fine the next few days . then i the same thing happened twice in a week.only on shutdown.the most recent program i installed a few weeks ago was Protools8.[code] This indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using my new notebook since last week. The allotted space for the Recovery drive D is 13G. After a week, I suddenly noticed that it is now almost full, with only 1.46G free. When I open the drive, I only see recovery folder (16KB) and HPSF_rep text document (4KB). When I viewed protected program files in that drive, I saw a lot of files which I did not dare to modify or anything.What should I do? What will happen if D: becomes full?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a number of shortcuts to often used folders and drives on the work LAN set up on my desktop. Infuriatingly, these regularly disappear (I have not timed it accurately, but it seems to be after approx. 1 week)! I keep copies in another directory, so can replace them fairly easily, but it's really frustrating that nobody seems to be able to explain what is going on

View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving Windows 7 for a month now, I notice the prompt to "backup" my system every week. I began the process when I got the first prompt a couple of weeks ago and did the backup accordingly, but I'm wondering how urgent it is to do this every week? I use my PC for browsing and for my home budget (MS Excel which I back up to disc each week) but for little else.

I just bought an ASUS Zenbook UX32A, it has an SSD 32 and SATA 500, I deleted the recovery and did a clean install of Windows 7 on the SSD (originally win was on the SATA) and I uploaded all the drivers and did some windows updates. the laptop will randomly shutdown once a week or every two weeks, and the boot order will get switched to the SATA. Obviously i will get an error "windows cant boot" etc. I have to manually go in bios and switch it back to the SSD.I scanned the computer with Avast and did the boot scanner, 100% clean
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo reinstall windows 7 you just need the disk . Try updating your BIOS first your system should play crysis 2 smooth as butter .

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having multiple BSOD issues mostly using IE:
-Used memtest86 for 9 passes - no issues
-Ran sfc scannow (had to do it in safe mode) - no issues
I thought I had all my problems worked out. This is not the case. My computer was working fine. I installed most of my programs, surfin the web, doing what I do on my computers. So I shut it down for the night.
I turn it on the next day. BSOD. The first BSOD doesn't even have an error listed.
This BSOD happens a couple times.
Then I get a different BSOD saying APC_INDEX_MISMATCH. This one only shows up one time.
Then I get another saying SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. But I've already rolled back my ATI drivers to their original state. I try to run chkdsk /f but everytime the computer restarts it just goes back to the log in window, without running chkdsk.
I'm completely lost here. Where should I start?
I have an HP Elitebook 2530p with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and I keep getting a BSOD with the error message "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
The first thing I did was do a memory and hard drive test. Unfortunately, both came up clean. Then I updated my sound, video, networking, webcam, extra button drivers and BIOS. Still getting them.
Any other solutions I should try or information I should provide?
Since I upgraded my PC, I realized that it won't detect idleness. I set my monitor to turn off after 1 minute, but that doesn't happen. The same applies to anything I set to turn off, or show away after X minutes.

I am getting random blue screens all the time for different errors including win32k.sys and memory management. BSODs also randomly occur on bootup as well. I can't install Win7 SP1 because it will crash and cause a BSOD. I have a Dell Studio Laptop 1535 with 4 gigs of ram: Radeon HD 4300 Series graphics card Dual Intel 5750 2.0 GHz processor Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit This is not the original OS installed (Windows Vista 32bit was the original OS)
View 1 Replies View Relatedthese crashes are somehow related to power management. everything is fine until the machine turns off display, at which point weird things start happening. first it was constant usb device added/removed sounds. so i tinkered around with power options, making sure to disable any sort of low-power mode aside from turning off display. since then ive changed settings back and forth and found the machine in various weird states, sometimes bsod, sometimes recoverable.the laptop is a dell e6420 and os w7pro.

I have a MSI GT725-212 Laptop and I get BSOD’s more than 5x every day.
I bought the computer with Vista 32-bit installed and had absolute no problems, then I upgraded to Win7 Enterprise (the 90 Day trial) and started having a lot of BSOD’s, I thought it was because of some driver which weren’t installed, I searched them in 64-bit and installed them. Device manager shows out of the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface no problems.
Even then I had BSOD’s very often. Yesterday installed I Win7 Pro 64-bit (Formatted C: where the OS was but D: remained unchanged). I had the same devices with problems (IR receiver and Memory Card slot), I installed the 64-bit drivers and the device manager didn’t complaint any more out of the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Intefase (In both cases I disabled these.). Even with the new Win7 Versions I remain having the BOSD’s and I don’t know what else to do.
