The other thread was really poorly titled, and im getting an issue: Could not find file 'C:msinfo32.nfo'.I have a pc with a 3770k intel cpu and a msi-g45 mobo long story short im getting BSOD's.what seems to happen is ill turn the pc on and it will gradually slow down untill it bsods, it doesnt seem to be affected so much by what i do it seems to inevitably crash though.Ive noticed through CPU-Z where my CPU will jump between around 800-1600mhz to 3700 which of course is a feature with the new chips but after some time itll stop jumping and sit at 1600 and then 800 then my core freq will drop between 100 and 50 and kind of swap around there before crashing.I thought maybe my psu wasnt giving enough power to the chip but i tested that and it seems to be working fine.
Well ive heard that Ivy bridge boost 20% performance and huge in GPU.I dont need Built in GPU.Ivy has integrated USB3.0, PCI 3.0 and thunderbird.Is it really worth to wait for the new Ivy Bridge i5 3570k? versus i5 2500k?I have a lesson for the previous CPU. Bought 3 computer Socket 1156 after 2 months of release!The result? i always got a BSOD.The Sandy bridge 1st release has a problem also with the chipset.If i remember they fix after 2 weeks with the new B3 design.Now guys because im really excited on Ivy bridge.The release date is April 08, 2012 What can you say? is it really safe buying for only a 1 month old after the release? Lets say i wait to buy on May 01, 2012?.Amd is creating a PCI 3.0 Hd 7 Series.
my CPU is pretty much always 100% loaded even though nothing resource-consuming is running at the time. Windows's built in task manager shows nothing. Process Explorer only sees one svchost consuming up to 30% at the time, obviously nothing close to 100%. The resulting lag is glaringly obvious and horrible - I can barely move my mouse, software takes up to a minute to launch and randomly hangs up on me. Audio lags and skips too. I have immediately tried to reinstall my chipset drivers but that did nothing. Safe mode with network support lags, regular safe mode doesn't. DPC Latency Checker says my driver delay is up to 60 000 μsec: for comparison, anything greater than 500 is a problem.
We have a wireless network in our house, and under normal circumstances, it works fine. There are 2 desktops connected through Ethernet, and most of the time, 1 laptop using the wireless. However, whenever my sisters come home from school, the connection suddenly goes haywire. They represent 2 more laptops.
At all times, at least one, usually more, connections are lost, and cannot be restored unless the cable modem is reset. It seems obvious enough- the router cannot handle that many connections. I am correct in believing the only way to remedy this is to buy a more powerful router, right?
I bought an acer 4830TG in august 2011. Here's the description: AS4830TG-2434G75MN | Product Model..Everything worked fine with it. It was a very good machine... So when it was stolen from me I bought the exact same model and things went sour:I burned the recovery discs and subsequently installed a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate x64.Then I carefully installed all the necessary drivers etc... Exactly as i did with the first one.The problem is that every time i start an application that read/writes to the hard drives intensively, everything slows down, hangs or crash.When making a copy from my desktop computer over the network (directly through a crossed cat5e cable), the throughput initially reaches 50-70 Mb/s and rapidly comes down to 10-15 Mb/s. At this point, I can't to do anything with my laptop while copying in background... My browser is unresponsive for several seconds at a time, then is responsive again, then is unresponsive etc... If I try to play a video with VLC it seems it can't buffer more than 10 seconds of video before buffering again for several seconds (I solved that particular issue by moving the video file to a ramdisk prior to playback)... Simply opening My documents or the control panel takes more than a minute.
On rare occasions, the system crash and I get a BSOD. Note however that if I let the copy finish without doing anything else, everything works fine except for the low throughput. I know I can expect more than 15 Mb/s because with the first 4830TG it was generally over 50Mb/s.This kind of behavior also occurs when I'm burning a disc, when �torrent is checking a file, when I'm copying files from one partition to another etc.I can't figure out where lies the problem:
- all drivers are listed as "up to date" by windows update and there is no unknown device listed. - RAM usage appears normal, the system is not overloaded with unnecessary applications. (At boot it uses about 1.2Go with AVG 2012 free, daemon tools, Malwarebyte's and dropbox)..
I've loaded Windows 7 RTM on my Dell M1330, as it's not a business-critical PC for me and I figured it would be good to test on. It was running XP Pro previously and worked great. With Win 7 seems to run ok for a little while and then starts randomly freezing and the system becomes generally unresponsive...then comes to for a little bit and then freezes up again. It's almost as though I have better luck trying to get something done by holding down the power button and then booting up again to get a few minutes of usable time. Seems to be aggravated faster by using an internet browser (IE or Firefox).
I've tried both x64 and x86 as clean installs and had about the same luck. I've applied the most recent Vista drivers supplied by Dell and the most recent nVidia drivers. Basically, I've tried every kind of driver combination I can think of, but it still acts like a system that has driver issues, but I haven't been able to pinpoint which device is causing this. Same install disk, etc yields good performance in a VM. So, my question is...has anyone with an M1330 w/NVidia video card been able to get Win 7 RTM running solid? If so, what did you do to yield the best performance?
When did stability become an issue with operating systems? Was it around the time dial up modems were used as Windows monitor stands? Surely such a stack was not as stable as when people used to put monitors on top of thick telephone directories. Was it when combinations of operating systems and programs often failed for no apparent reproducible reason? What happened to all the operating system bugs? Surely the bugs did not disappear as operating system stability became a concern. I'm trying to pin point the year. I guess it would be the mid 1990s but I'd like to hear your opinions.
I have three machines in my house running Seven. However I will focus on two.
1.) MSI Mobo, AMD 4200+, 2GB RAM, etc. (Look in my stats for the desktop)
2.) HP 6735s, AMD Turion X2, 2.5GB RAM, 256MB Dedicated Radeon HD 3200.
The MSI ran Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I had everything I wanted on there so I didn't want to do a clean install. Once the Seven upgrade finished, it was fantastic. The only program that I already had that didn't work was Daemon Tools. However AIM still worked, and you can't install AIM from Windows Seven.
Now on my laptop, it came with Vista, but I wanted Seven. So I did a clean install, because I didn't want all that HP garbage that comes with them. Now I have an issue with sleep. When my PC goes to sleep, and I wake it back up, it runs ok, but then when I go through certain tasks it hangs.
Sometimes if I awake it with my wireless off, it won't come back on, it won't recognize plugged in add ons, and when I go file searching it hangs, like if indexing is messed up. I am considering, rolling back, getting Vista all the way to SP1, downloading AIM, and whatever else I need, and just upgrading it like I did my PC.
Also, the third PC which is a Dell does not perform as well as it should, but does fine in Vista.
I am not a Windows expert, but from deduction, I can conclude that Windows Seven stability is greatly enhanced when it is upgraded from Windows Vista.
Auto tab stacking is no more But will be back as an option (probably in opera:config ) at some future date, posts about it on the Opera desktop blog were split 50/50 about it. Quote:

I've got about 8 different Windows 7 boxes (some laptops, a few desktops, and some media machines). The frequency of "inexplicable weird things" and other aggravations has been increasing over time, and just the last few months I've found myself having done at least 4 complete re-installs, and despite this - all 8 of my boxes are suffering various different problems.I am basically loosing WEEKS of work time dealing with pointless fixes to what I thought would have, by now, been a stable operating system.Some (and by no means is this a comprehensive list) of the recent issues I'm facing are BSOD problems on 2 different boxes ("Driver state power failure"), various (but not all) internet programs failling to connect from one laptop, *extreme* slowness one another latop and two media center desktops, an inexplicably "corrupted" registry occurence, and other weird but similar things.
Most of my machines are new brand-name (HP mostly) boxes, with a couple of other ones thrown in. They all work fine using "live boot" linux distro DVDs, and I have no problems with my one other box that's not Windows (a Mac).Do I just happen to have the worlds worst Windows 7 luck, or is this a growing problem with Windows 7 worldwide in general???
I have two harddrives, the primary one 584 GB, the secondary one 1.36 TB. When booting, my computer takes about a minute or two to fully load, but if I start to actually use it, virtually all programs will move slowly, consume lots of memory, explorer windows will take forever to load, and even cause my video card to stutter a bit.
A while ago, I unplugged the secondary drive, and found that my computer booted up much faster, and was infinitely more stable soon after loading.
But with two harddrives, in order to maintain stability, I often wait up to 5 - 10 minutes after booting to the desktop, just to be safe.
Is this a normal symptom of having two huge harddrives, both of which are filled with about 500 GB each, and programs like Norton security suite and messenger programs all needing to boot up? Or is this a problem with the second harddrive?
i just installed PC Lin-Q (USB 2 High Speed Bridge Cable) between tow of my Desktop Computers #1 Windows 7 RC1 and #2 Windows XP Pro SP3, installed to Windows 7 RC1 as Windows XP SP3 compat and it works fine !
I was fixing my other laptop and I wiped my external HDD thinking it was the laptop's HDD by mistake. I cleaned it via CMD(SELECT DISK 1, CLEAN) Any ideas to make it back to normal?
i have just built a new rig and i'm having a couple of problems. as i said in the title i have a msi 560 on a asus p67 mobo with a intel i5 2500.i've had the computer for about 2 months now and a few days ago, when i started the computer, a message saying "disk read error, push ctrl + alt + delete" came up. i restarted my comp' a few times and it eventually booted. then today the same message came up and i went through the same process and i got the computer to boot again.this i could deal with however, my computer now has been on for about 16 hours (no big deal) but now it wont play Internet videos and huge artifacts and random triangles and things com up in games like battlefield bc2. the reason i put the time up here is that when i first started the computer it was doing video things fine.
I've been having some BSOD probs, so I'm currently updating all of my drivers. The only one I can't find an update for is called PCI Standard Host CPU Bridge. Could you point me in the right direction, so I can get the update?
Also, for some reason, PCI Standard Host CPU Bridge is listed twice in Device Manager... and both entries seem identical. Would this mean I have to update both?

I use a network bridge between my wireless and wired adapters to put my 360 on Live, because the 360 Wireless Network Adapter is just waaaay too expensive. Anyway, it all worked completely fine under XP, but I just installed 7 and there's a couple of things I'm having trouble with... The network icon in the sytem tray shows either... well, I'm not sure exactly what icon it is when the 360 is on, or a disconnected wireless network icon when it isn't...
what I'd like is the normal wireless network icon with the signal bars (this is more of an annoyance, but I get really annoyed by stuff like this). More seriously, under (as far as I can tell) the same configuration as XP, the 360 can't get an IP address from my router.
If I set it to a static IP, it connects to Live, but complains about "moderate NAT" or some crap, and says that will stop me connecting to some games or players (and it does).
I'm using a bridged connection so that my ps3 can connect through my computer (better speed then with ps3s wireless), but I have a small problem.
the ps3 can connect to the internet and everything seems to work fine, but after 10 min of gaming I will get a network error saying that I'm not connected to the internet.
After repairing it'll work again. Any idea whats wrong and how to fix it?
i normal run windows xp on my machine but currently trying out windows 7 but i have a small problem. ok so in xp i create a network bridge with my wireless card and ethernet so that i can connect my xbox 360 to the internet without buying the wireless adapter. now when i try to do this in windows 7 i get an error that says. To create a Network Bridge, you must select atleat two LAN or High-Speed Internet connections that are not being used by Internet Connection Sharing. im useing a lan connection and a high speed wireless connection isnt that all i need....and if it's because of intnert connection sharing how do i turn that off in windows
I have two network adpatro in win 7 one is lan card network adpator that use ip 10.1.4.100/16 Gw 10.1.1.249 one is VPN network adpator .If it enable , the IP will ber 192.168.2.X /24 .
I want to make bridge and so , the computer from 10.1.4.XXX /16 can use my computer to reach the 19.1.68.2.x . In this case , my PC work as a router .
I try to make bridge with above two adaptor . But after enable the bridge, I still cannot ping ,telnet 192.168.2.XXX from 10.1.4.xxx PC even after setup the route table .
my wireless USB network adapter crapped out on me recently, so I'm trying to run internet through my wireless laptop to my PC using a network bridge but for some reason the internet speed wont stay high. its starts out good and then gets really slow. both laptop and pc are running windows 7 enterprise. keep the internet running at a steady pace?
Let me explain to you my setup before I explain my problem. I have a desktop computer with a wireless network card which connects to the router and the internet. I have a LAN cable attached from the desktop to my xbox 360. I have both my wireless connections and LAN connection bridged so I can play xbox 360 on xbox live without using the proprietary wireless adapter. My wireless network is capable of connecting to my wireless n router upto 300mbps.
So here is the issue:
When my xbox 360 is on, the Mac Bridge Miniport speed is listed as either 300mbps or sometimes 1Gbps which is good. As soon as I turn it off, the speed drops to 54mbps and stays there. In order for me to get it back to 300mbps I have to delete the Mac Bridge Miniport and recreate it or I have to turn my xbox back on. Is there someway I can make the Mac Bridge Miniport stay at 300mbps always, even when the xbox is off?
I am having some issues with Windows 7 and my network bridge. I currently have it setup like this...modem -> router -> laptop -> wireless bridge. The problem is whenever I have the bridge enabled, the port I have open for utorrent is blocked. When I disable the network bridge the port is open again. I have the port open on my router so I dont think thats the problem.
When the bridge is disabled, I use a static IP and everything works well. When the bridge is enabled and I use a static IP, nothing works (not even firefox) and if I don't use a static IP utorrent gets blocked but Firefox works fine.
I was running WinXP before I moved to Windows 7 and there was never a problem...I could have the bridge enabled and it wouldn't effect my utorrent at all.
I recently bought myself a new Netgear Stora MS2110 (network storage), my network situation is a bit strange. I've got my computer connected to a wireless network with internet access, and the Stora now connected to the computer by a wired LAN without internet. I just now discovered that I needed to have internet to setup the Stora, so my question is this - Can I somehow Bridge the wireless network onto the wired network through my computer? giving the Stora internet access and access to the wireless network.
I just built desktop with ASUS M4A78 Plus mobo and was getting BSODs constantly using windows 7 64-bit. I just installed XP 32-bit and ti's running fine. One thing I noticed is on XP the south bridge drivers installed but on Windows 7 whenever I tried to install them using catalyst manager or driver from ATI's site it would not install. It would attempt to install the north bridge drivers which the log would say successful but catalyst manger would always say they weren't installed.
Has anyone experienced this problem or now a fix for it?
I bought a new Acer Aspire V3 laptop last week, with the new intel processor. Using it only for 3 days, it started to crash (blue screen). Can you help me please?I have attached the BSOD dump and the system health report.Here is the spec of my pc: x64 bit - windows OS - came pre-installed on system (OEM ) - What is the age of system (hardware)? just a week.What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) NO, it come pre-installed, and I didn't reinstall it.
I'm doing a clean install of 7 ultimate x64, I've got another hd with the rc installed that has been running for a while so I know the hardware works under 7.
If I boot the new install with my 5 port usb pcix card, it detects a "pci-to-pci bridge" starts to install drivers, and then the whole system hangs. I've tried taking everything else out, no joy.
Any suggestions on how to get this device installed?

Out of those 3 cards I only use the GTX260 and the 9400GT. I had to 'retire' the Fx5500 because the latest WHQL (certified) drivers only provide support as far down as the "6 series" Nvidia cards. Unfortunately the Fx5500 is a "5 series" and falls below that line. I have already tried to use the GTX260 and Fx5500 in previous versions of Windows (XP and Vista), but there is no way to download and install two separate drivers for two of the same make of video card - you'll get nothing but errors.
There is the option of going to a place like guru3d.com and downloading a custom supported driver that covers both the GTX260 and Fx5500, but the drivers are not certified and lack support. Therefore, I purchased and now use the 9400GT which is covered under the drivers for the GTX260 and eliminates the need for messing around with custom drivers. Also, the 9400GT has a better graphics processor and more memory than the Fx5500, so it was time to upgrade anyway.
I've been comparing the specs on the following processors and as a non-gamer the Xeon processors look very attractive. What I like is that Intel offers the choice of a Xeon 80 watt non-graphics processor versus it's 95 watt on-board graphics processor. It would have been nice if Intel offered that same choice in it's Core line. Many users prefer a PCI graphics card and don't use the on-chip graphics, so why not a choice, like with the Xeon line?
After a ton of speculation, a bit of denial, and a ton of testing we finally have our answer. The thermal interface material change made by Intel when it went from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge is indeed the cause of the excessive temperatures weve observed while overclocking. The first accusation was made in late-April by Overclockers.com, however proving it wasn't easy. The Japanese division of PC Watch somehow managed to remove the integrated heat spreader from a Core i7 3770k, along with the stock binding and grease. They then proceed to replace it with aftermarket alternatives, and the results speak for themselves.
My windows 7 machine is unable to connect to my internet through the wireless bridge I've set up on my WRT54G using DD-WRT. It seems to be connected to the network as it sees the other computers that are on it but there is no internet access. Every once in awhile it gains access and then abruptly loses it in a matter of minutes. The router supplies internet to anything else I plug into it, be it my Xbox or laptop running XP.
