About a week ago I updated my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate. Since then, 90% of the time, when I boot up the computer a black screen appears on my screen and no desktop shows up. I can't do anything like get to to a task manager but the computer works fine in safe mode. Strangely, if I leave the computer for a couple of hours the black screen disappears and everything works perfectly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've a 2 years old laptop - Lifebook AH550 with:
i5-430M
Windows7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
4GB RAM (DDR3,SODIMM, 1066MHz)
320GB HDD at 5400rpm
1695MB Shared Graphics
I'm planning to replace the 32-bit OS with 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. This laptop can support 8GB as mentioned in the catalogue. I guess the processor i5-430M is the first generation processor. I'm getting two 4GB RAM modules fairly cheap with same speed specifi'x.
I've no plans to trade off this laptop because its a rare "breed" - Made in Japan by Fujitsu and after 2 years of service it still runs extremely well.
My Current OS is Windows 7 Home Premium trial (been using the slmgr /rearm thing) and I just received a wonderful gift, a Windows 7 Ultimate Disc.
So can i upgrade my OS without reformat?
Upgrading Windows 7 Home to Ultimate
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have the windows 7 32 bit ultimate installed into my new computer by mistake, but im only using 4 out of the 16GB ram that I have. and I am hoping to install the 64 bit instead.however, I do not have the windows 7 32 bits disk as I used my brother's copy. What I DO have is a 64 bit windows 7 ultimate "upgrade" legit download from my school that is burnt into a dis., not sure if it is the same thing as the windows installation disk itself. the size is 3.18 GB..how then, can I change to 64 bit in this case, because when i attempt to simply run the 64 bit upgrade it just say "the installation disk isn't compatible with your version of windows....."

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn case anyone is running into issues trying to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate, I did the following things and got it to work. I ran into the "Can't upgrade. Need clean install" issue, and the "you have a later version" issue.
1. Changed the two registry keys in Hkey Local MachineSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion Changed Edition ID to "Enterprise".Product Name to "Windows 7 Enterprise"
2. Browsed the Windows 7 Ultimate CD directory, found the Setup.exe file, right mouse clicked it, selected "properties", and told 7 that I wanted to run this file in Vista Version 2.
Then ran setup from Windows 7 Home Premium.You obviously need an upgrade license for this to work, but I had just purchased one.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Enterprise installed on my computer. I just installed an ssd and I reinstalled the enterprise version from my school, but now they offer a ultimate version that's not linked to my schools servers. The enterprise version has to be updated every 90 days from the school license server.
I would like to know if there would be any ill effects from upgrading to another version of windows on an ssd. Even though they are practically the same version, I found a way online to upgrade to this version. The link is below.

Ok so i bought a new CPU off of amazon the other day it was a Athlon II X4 630 and I got it in the mail and installed it today. Well I decided to try and put my other stick of ram(2x4gb) in to see if it would detect as dual channel with this CPU and to my surprise it did. I tried booting into windows and it just kept restarting. One time it gave me a blue screen saying Machine Check Exception. After that one it would not give me any other blue screens just kept restarting as soon as it hit the login screen for Windows 7. Then I took the other stick back out and it logged in for a few sec and started to load windows and such then it restarted with a bluescreen giving me this error code 0x000000124.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've tried to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 bit to 7 Ultimate 32 bit numerous times now, all with the same result: a BSOD during the install process, which I get during (what I think is) the final step called "Transferring files, settings and programs."
The installation compatibility test warns me about my Nvidia drivers, which I've attempted to both remove and upgrade to the latest version, but that doesn't seem to make a difference (I still get the warning during the compatibility check, and I still get the blue screen). I'm not sure that's even the problem, either. I can't (easily) remove/replace the video card, since my mobo doesn't have onboard video, so I'd hopefully be able to avoid having to do that.
The error in the blue screen is a nebulous "REFERENCE_BY_POINTER" message. The technical information is "STOP: 0x00000018 (0x00000000, 0x86478030, 0x00000002, 0xFFFFFFFF)."
As a zip file, I've attached the setup log, error log, compatibility report, and what I think is the setup dump file, all of which I found in C:$WINDOWS.~BTSourcesPanther (I believe that's the right place to look). The logs complain about BthMig problems, which I think has something to do with bluetooth, but I don't have any bluetooth peripherals. I've uninstalled things that I thought might have some bluetooth things in it, like MS Intellitype (maybe a stretch), but again, no difference.
System specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, on an Asus M2N SLI Deluxe, with 4 GB of ram, and an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT. The hard drive I'm installing (upgrading) on has about 100 GB free.
I upgraded my last OS(Win Vista Ultimate) to Win 7 Ultimate.
the BOSD contains following information:

What can I must do?
I currently have a licensed copy of Windows XP Pro and would like to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. I am able to purchase an upgrade disc (Windows 7) from my university for less than $10. I understand that there is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7 so a "Custom" install is required. I have run the "Windows 7 upgrade advisor" and my system meets the requirements. I have backed up all of my data and located all of my program discs/installation files. Does any one know of a reason why I shouldn't use the upgrade disc as opposed to buying a full copy of Windows 7? I'm not trying to be cheap , but If I can can save a couple hundred bucks on the Operating System, then I can spend more money on hardware.
View 9 Replies View Relatedso yesterday I decided to upgrade my computer with a new motherboard/cpu.But I wanted to keep the old hard drive since I have all my files there, and everything was going smoothly until I actually tried to boot it.When I boot Windows 7 it gives me this bluescreen error: Code: STOP 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000) I have tried to reinstall windows on another clean hard drive, but doesn't want to boot that either.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 full retail The hardware is from 2010 or so.The age of the os installation is 2011.
I started the upgrade and left the computer installing...
When I came back I saw a BSOD (0x0000007b (0x80786b68), 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
I restarted and saw 2 options (Windows SETUP and Windows 7).
Computer gone to Windows Setup again and showed BSOD again. So I restarted and got Windows 7 7000 again... (no changes made). I received a message saying that the upgrade couldn't be made and my original version was restored or something else...
I have no idea about the reason of the BSOD. Never had problems with 7000.
i've just changed motherboard card, memory and cpu to the new one:gigabyte p67a-d3-b3, intel core i3 2120, patriot ddr3 2x4096mb 1600mhz cl8.0 viper xtreme divison 2 llk.i changed in bios memory to 1600mhz 8-9-8-24 1.5 v (instead of 1.65v (i couldnt find option to get it to 1.65v in bios, when i changed to 1.6v system didnt run). after 1 day i got bsod. but i changed back memory to the orginal state and after about 1 hour system just got shocked. bsod didn't show up, but computer was frozen and non stop i could hear beep sound.i didn't uninstall drivers from old motherboard (don't know how). i installed new drivers for new motherboard / cpu. i didn't install again graphic card drivers (i was told i don't need to). i didn't make format either (i'd like to avoid that as much as i can).in attachment everything you want: minidump / rammon / cpu-z / and seven forums tool logs.
edit:i'd like to add that each time computer got frozen was while i was watching something on Internet?
givin to me by a friend started having problems about a month or 2 ago after a put in more ram. i went from 2 to 6 and even upgraded to 64bit os. the top of the BSOD sometimes says "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" other times it says"BAD POOL HEADER". it only happens at startup and only once or twice then after that its fine as long as well i keep my computer on. so is there a way to fix this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having an issue with this computer. Ive had it for a couple years, not to many issues until now. I randomly get a BSOD. I cannot pinpoint the cause! All drivers appear to be updated.
Here is the uploaded minidump file.
While using my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 it occasionally crashes with BSOD and then reboots successfully. I almost always does so after resuming Windows from sleep or hibernate. It also sometimes freezes completely and I have to force reboot by powering off and on. I am attaching a zip file following the posting instructions.

I've recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition onto my imac using bootcamp last week, and it has been working perfectly fine, and then randomly starting today I get a BSOD less then 5 minutes after being logged into the windows side... and i don't have time to read the BSOD because it auto restarts.
