Here is another issue that I've noticed with W7 in case anybody wants to know. I've been using AVG Free with Vista for quite sometime without an issue and up to a few days ago, it was going fine with W7. I hardly ever do a full scan of my laptop (a fairly new Toshiba), but a schedules scan was initiated and I let it run through. So, after about 50 minutes of scanning and presumably towards the end of the scan, I got a BSOD. I forget the actual error message, as I should have taken note of it. It's the latest version of AVG, but who knows if it truly compatible with W7 yet, so that could have been the issue. I know it isn't a conflict with another virus scanner, registry cleaner, or any other utility of the sort.
I have yet to let it run through again, but I'll get to it soon to see if it happens again.
Wont boot into safe mode or original windows OS disc (which worked previously).I'm Using UBCD, never had a hard disk problem, never had memory problems.Disk is accessible using G-parted and all files are still there. The only thing i have noticed once the error started is that the label on my local disk (c) changed to blank but i then changed it back and still nothing, also made sure that my windows partition was set to "boot". I'm assuming its partition editing that i must do, but don't know where to start exactly, and I'm also assuming that it was a registry cleanup that caused this error.
I am writing this right now because after the last BSOD it said "Windows can not start" and I had to restore to when it was previously working. So up until that point this is what I did.Since working with computers almost my entire life I know most BSOD are due to either bad memory, drivers, or bios. I started there and updated my nvidea drivers but it happened again. I moved to the motherboard bios.I did find a newer one on there and using ASUS tool I flashed the BIOS. Same thing still happened. Next I ran memtestx86 for 8 hours and it returned no errors.At this point I just decided to look for newest drivers for everything. One thing that happened consistently was that my wireless USB adapter from Cisco had to be unplugged and plugged back in for it to work. I went there first, reinstalled the drivers but still the same thing. I thought maybe it was my hard drive. I downloaded Seagates Utility tool and ran all the tests and they all passed fine. I ran defrag just for good measure along with windows version of the mem test and that passed as well. I still continued to get the BSOD and I have to tell you I'm irritated and also stumped.
Next I moved onto software. I have been using AVG free for years but I know virus programs do some crazy stuff and I got rid of that. Turned on windows defender. I decided that since the wireless adapter didn't work after these crashes maybe lets just go to a direct wired connection. I disconnected the cisco wireless adapter and I'm just using a direct connect right to my router.These come at random times.. nothing I do can trigger it. It can stay on for days and not crash and then there are times it can be up for 10 min and crash.Some of you might notice that in the CPU-Z screenshots I had to take the screenshot with the error underneath. Every time I chose either of the two slots it crashed the program.I have not done anything internally besides add some neon to my computer which does not connect to the board at all.I have seen IRQL blue screen once so I even went as far to go into the power settings for windows and make sure the usb and everything never went into any kind of "standby" mode.
I believe this is still under warranty and I would like to go in with good information if I need to challenge and get new hardware if that's what it is.On a side note I have not touched the memory physically. I know some suggestions were to reseed the memory and chip but In my opinion something that has been working for months that never moves off my desk and is never basically touched besides the power button shouldn't mean something just came loose after 4 months of owning it.Again that's just my opinion. I have removed AVG, Ad-Aware, Some webcam motion detector software (which was a joke) and the only thing that was really installed was Skyrim.

This started happening last night while i was playing Borderlands 2, it has happened at idle, playing just about any game in my library, during downloads and just browsing the web. I changed all of my accessible drivers, and it continued to happen, so i moved all of my personal files onto my external HDD. I re installed windows on my SSD (did not reformat) and reformatted my HDD. I re installed my drivers, re-enabled SLI and it ran fine for about an hour, just downloading WoW, and then happened again twice.
I started getting BSOD two weeks ago. As far as I can remember the first time I had a BSOD was on the day I installed Max Payne 3 (I read somewhere that the some guy had also this problem when he installed max payne). There were two occasions that I got a BSOD upon starting Max Payne 3. But lately I'm getting BSOD when doing low-load stuffs like browsing with no other apps opened. I've already done memtest with 10 passes with no errors. I'm 24 hours prime95 stable. I just don't get it! I've manually set my timings for my ram. I'm not doing any overclock. Everything is on stock settings.
I am brand new to this site so forgive me if I miss a step. I was wondering if someone who is good at debugging dump files could give me a second set of eyes on these 2 I will attach. One BSOD is DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (ntoskrnl.exe) and the other is UNEXEPECTED_KERNAL_MODE_TRAP (ntoskrnl.exe).I have this problem across 15 identical laptops with fresh installs of Win 7 Pro 64Now my guess is this will boil down to a BIOS upgrade, but if there are driver conflicts within these dump files
I am the developer of a driver for a network adapter device that does scatter-gather DMA. Driver is not newly developed, but has had some recent changes.My client has a puzzling BSOD on one x64 machine after about 18 hours of successful operation. My x64 Win 7 machine runs fine forever. Client's box crashes in seemingly random places that indicate mem corruption.Mem test on machine was clean. Minidump is attached. WinDbg stack doesn't trace back to my code - it just shows the calls to handle the exception. Any clues y'all can see?System info from WinDbg:Windows 7 Kernel Version 7601 (Service Pack 1) MP (4 procs) Free x64Product:WinNt, suite: TerminalServer SingleUserTSBuilt by: 7601.17640.amd64fre.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506One difference between client's x64 and mine: Theirs has a valid DMA MapRegisterBase pointer from a AllocateAdapterChannel call, where mine (and my x86 systems) always have a null DMA MapRegisterBase
My computer has been stable for years, however recently I have been getting BSOD when doing any task. Windows will sometimes load to the desktop and I am able to watch video, run windows score, check email, etc before it will BSOD. Other times, it will BSOD before getting to the windows login screen.When I use safe mode, it logs in and stays there - no BSOD.I have tried removing all extra hardware in the machine, however this has had no affect. I have also tried one stick of RAM, then another, both BSOD.
Windows 7, 64bit, volume license (though OEM on the machine is also windows 7 64bit)1 month old hardware (10 days since I added memory). 18 month old OS install (backed up and restored, and drivers updated to new hardware)(Note that the older BSODs in the zip file are from old hardware)
I was having many random bluescreens on my old home build. I upgraded my Videocard to an Nvidia GTX 550 Ti thinking that it was videocard related. After fresh install I'm still getting BSODs.
Over the past months I have encountered a BSOD roughly every month and I want to get rid of it. The BSOD happens at random (at least as far as I know), not with specific tasks.This morning I started looking for the error and found that turning verifier ON might help in identification. I did this and rebooted a couple of times, every time with the same BSOD occuring during the boot stating something about dne64x.sys
System specs:
Windows 7 Professional x64 full retail version +/- 8 months old system, OS age is the same
I never used it heavily at the start and assumed it was just a driver and that i'd figure it out later.Well; now is later and I can't figure it out.I've done a re-install of the OS (HP recovery)This system is about a year old and is an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with AMD Phenom II N850 Triple Core @2.2 ghz 6 gig memory 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
I just bought all my parts, and I can't seem to get the computer stable. It is constantly BSOD or freezing and crashing during games. I've attached the SF diagnostic report for one of the dumps i guess.
i am running windows 7 and suddenly my 160 gig internal c: drive went from having over 60 gig free to having less than 1 gig free....i have run a known good anti virus software including a complete scan and removal of viruses...no go.....still very little free space.....the c:users folder is using up over 115 gig....but when you look at all of the files and folders in there nothing uses more than 50 gig...and even so there was over 60 gig free befor
I install Windows 7 64 bit in a 60 gb partition of my HDD (C drive). I have about 200 GB free space in D drive. Now I want to make a 60 GB partition from the free space of D drive.
Two dell support technicians have said to go to factory settings butSpecs:64 bit windows 7 home premiumIntel core i3ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330Service pack 1Any other info you want, just let me know. I'm so desperate for a solution that isn't a fresh re-load of windows.
This is how to Fix Windows 7 BSOD.Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 until the "Advance Boot Options" menu comes up.Use up and down arrow buttons to navigate the menu, select "Safe Mode" and hit EnterThis time you won't see the computer blue screen error.When the welcome screen comes up select Administrator and enter administrator's password(if you have one).Click on the START button and navigate to the Accessories folder. There you will see a folder entitled "System Tools," navigate to that folder and click on System Restore.In the System Restore program, make sure "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is selected and click NEXT.Choose a date on the calendar that you want to restore your computer and click NEXT.The last page of the System Restore will pop up with your date that you have chosen and click NEXT. The system will reboot and the computer blue screen will be gone
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit, OEM, never reinstalledHP model #p6654y, approx. 1 year old, no major problems until nowI've attached the BSOD Dump and System File Collection, but Windows refuses to produce a System Health Report because I have to run in safe mode. If you have an alternative method, I'll be glad to try it, but normal mode seems to be producing crashes more and more quickly.
After running Windows 7 for 3 days with a single reboot my ram usage has hit a highnote of ~3.15GB(as shown in the attachment below) so my question is this, is there anyway to free up the allocated ram that isn't being used anymore? I know you can do this on an iMac but I don't know if this is possible on a PC.
Why would Windows 7 eat up ~3.16GB of ram when I do not have any programs open? Is this because of the SuperFetch service?
I want to know if there is a way to free up RAM. I have 1 GB of slow RAM and it is at 60% full when idle. No programs running either. When I click on a few programs like OpenOffice and Chrome, it shoots up to about 80% full. Are there any non-essential processes that I can just kill in order to free this up (other than the programs I'm running)?
I originally had the free space as a D: Drive but decided to reallocate the space used back onto C:. I have gotten this far but am unsure how to continue because the extend drive option for C: is grayed out. I believe this is because the space which used to be D: is still shown as an extended partition. I have a Samsung RC512 with an Intel Core i7 Quad core processor and Windows 7 Home Premium.
Wanted to install it on OLD PC 1.6Ghz 1GB RAM 256MB VRAM Running XP.It happens that my daughteris having her summer vacation already, and she wanted me to install an RPG game in that OLD PC, what can u recommend?
Just want to know how the programs that free up ram work. What exactly do they free up? Is there any of these that are good with windows 7?? Does the program actually use more ram than ram it can free up???
I'm happy with my 1.5gb of ram right now and don't want to buy more but if these programs can really free up ram then I guess why not give it a go?? Yes I also use readyboost.
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L555D-7930 from Office Depot on BF this year. I told the salesperson that I needed 64 bit OS for newest AutoCAD app. He and the sticker on the unit confirmed that this unit had Windows 7 - 64bit. I pick it up a couple days later (had them install Office) and return home to begin installation of AutoCAD. I find out that the OS system is actually 32 bit after checking the system properties, and see that it is 64 bit compatible.
I call Office Depot and run thru everything, they tell me to call Toshiba to expedite things. I instead have them call on my behalf and the result is a case number from Toshiba with the ultimate answer (after a week of me dealing with both parties) of "NO" from Toshiba and "we will refund your money" from Office Depot. To their credit the people at Office Depot are nice and tried their best, but this whole thing seems like lack of understanding or abilities to me.
Can someone please explain whether Microsoft can get my system switched to 64bit (conversion/upgrade) or if there is a preloaded 64 bit OS hidden somewhere in a partition.
Have been combing blogs, but due to newness of Windows 7 info./posts seems contradictory at times. Open to any input.
