What is happening is each cold boot of the computer, I will ALWAYS BSOD within the first few minutes, after the mouse starts to lag really bad and skip around. If i IMMEDIATELY restart the computer, it will literally run for weeks without a hiccup.I have replaced nearly every part of my rig minus the CPU and Memory. I've put in a new MOBO, SSD/SATA drives, Video card, Power supply. Flashed the BIOS with the latest version. The only thing left is the CPU.I've recently ran the windows memory diagnostics everything passed fine, but I've bought new memory just in case - will try that tonight.
I recently built a new system running windows 7 home premium 64bit. I downloaded the latest drivers for all the hardware in my system and completed as much updates for the OS that were available.
i got a 3 years old machine and all was working great,but now ( this month) i have multiple BSOD . i have recently replace my power supply for a 650 w it worked until i had those BSOD but now only on cold boot*recently reinstall win 7 64 bit home premium to see if it will worked, but no luck. [code]
Every day I come home and boot up my computer, and every day it BSODs either instantly or within 10 minutes, once I restart it seems to be fine and will run for DAYS. Also seems like all of my last systems have been having the same problem, so possibly it's some of the hardware I have been re-using, but it is beyond me to figure out and I just need it to stop..Windows 7 x64 full retail, fresh installed in the last 2-3 months, problem didn't exist immediately..Hardware varies from a few months old (motherboard, cpu) to a few years old (video card, hard drives, some older and some newer ram). I have tried with multiple different hard drives with fresh installs of Windows as well as different RAM combinations and configurations.
I have an ASUS n80vn laptop that is about 3 years old. It came with OEM Windows Vista, but I installed my own copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit more than two years ago, and there was no problem upon installation.
Lately (for about a month), I have been receiving BSOD either during boot or the log-in screen. The BSOD usually happens only once per day, and I would be forced to restart my computer. No BSOD upon restart. I suspect the problem occurs when the laptop is cold. I have attached the BSOD Dump files collected over the past month.
The only driver change I've had was nVidia graphic driver updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the two most recent drivers and the BSOD problem still occurs.
On a side note, I have been getting random freeze-ups too, and this has been happening before the BSOD problem. These freezes occur when I'm doing regular tasks such as web browsing or typing in Word/Excel etc. When my system freezes, there is no BSOD, but nothing can be moved (keyboard + mouse won't do anything). Closing lid does nothing too. Strangely, I have not been getting this kind of freezes when I play games.
Quick rundown of specs: -Windows 7 Professional 64bit (retail) -Age of hardware: ~3 years -Age of OS: ~2 -Processor: Intel core duo P8600 2.40 GHz -RAM: 4GB -GPU: GeForce 9650m GT
I have BSOD on a cold startup everyday. On most time after the first BSOD of the day the PC will run fine for that whole day. There will be two consecutive BSOD on certain occasions. The problem stops for a week after I updated the NEC USB 3.0 Host controller so it seems there is other problem causing the BSOD but now I am not so sure.
I ordered the parts online and put them together myself. At first everything worked fine, I got Windows 7 up and running and drivers were installed without error. Then I decided to try and overclock my i5 2500k, since I have little experience with overclocking in general I googled a little and read up on a few step-by-step tutorials on how to go about with this. I'm not sure wether or not it's something I've meddled with that caused this problem, but in the middle of clicking around in my BIOS my computer suddenly dies. On reboot it halts and crashes after a few seconds only to reboot again before it even gets to the initial boot screen. It keeps going like this for 3-4 consecutive crashes until I pull the power. I open up my case and since my motherboard has a "mem-ok!" button which, according to the manual is used to reset BIOS and allow a safe boot. I press and hold for 5 seconds and it boots correctly and lets me undo any changes I've done to the BIOS. Everything seemed to be in working order, but now whenever I do a cold boot it still halts and crashes once or twice before it does a succesful boot.
Everytime i start my computer from cold i go through my bios screen then come to the windows 7 screen where the windows fly to you and float/wave It hangs wont go to the log in screen or anything. I have to do a force shut down with my power button. When i start my computer again it goes fast to the "windows did not boot properly screen" I click start windows normally and it boots super fast. and on every restart it boots fine. Just from a first cold start.. What could be the problem?
My office system is a Dell w/ Win7 and it's been running fine up until 1 month ago. Then it started this odd behavior. On a cold boot it runs about 5x to 20x times slower than normal, almost as if it's just running on a single core locked at 5%. Boot time to hit splash screen is 2.5 to 4.5 minutes (normal is 30 secs). And once I hit return on my pwd the system continues to run in super slow motion. If I just force a reboot, select Boot Windows Normally from the trouble menu, the the system boots in 30 secs, logs in fine, and runs normally.My boss has told me that other Win7 computers he owns/operates are now doing the same thing.I've no idea what could be causing this. Hearing that other Win7 computers are doing it tends to make me believe it isn't a problem specific to this computer or even this small office network. There are no USB devices other than the mouse and keyboard and we've switched those out. We'd recently installed virus protection software, but we removed that and the problem still continues.
The only other thing I can think of, is that we recently installed a printer driver so the system could print to a Brothers laser printer attached via USB to a computer across the local network. And come to think of it, my system wouldn't even see that printer and allow driver installation until we plugged the printer directly into my system. After installation we moved the printer back, and changed the settings for the system to find the printer across the network. I'll look into uninstalling that driver next time I'm in the office.
Update: New day, new slow boot. This time I forced an early reboot and I got the option to start a Windows Startup Repair. I started that, skipped doing a System Restore and let it run. Finally it came back with all tests fine except the following which crashed: System Files Integrity Check and Repair , Failed , Error Code #0x490 , Time Taken = 541573 ms. So it looks like the test that checks for problems crashed, leaving me to wonder if there might still be some hidden problem. And yet reboots run perfectly normal.
This is on a loptop Meldon E6882, running windows 7, to a LED TV HD. From a cold boot both the laptop monitor and HDMI screen show the windows starting screen .. But the HDMI screen goes blank when the login screen appears. I have tried different screen resolutions. No Luck. I have tried from the 'screen resolution' page to get automatically detect the HDMI - No luck I have tried from the 'screen resolution' page to manually select HDMI. Only offers VGA or component, no HDMI.
I think this maybe a disabled driver as I did a manual disabling of these some time ago in order to try and reduce the boot time. I cannot recall the names of the drivers I have put into manual start (some time ago), nor have I found any info on what drivers are needed for the HDMI. The screen driver is an Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000. I'd like to look at some video on the larger screen...
We are just rolling Windows 7 out as we update machines. so far we have a dozen or so HP's (not my choice)with Windows 7. We are using Win2003 server as our File and Print.The printer causing issues is a RICOH Aficio MP using the latest C5000 PCL 5c driver.Our issue is on every cold boot on *most* machines first print of the day we get Error Message: "Do you trust this printer? Windows needs to download and install a software driver from the\servername computer to print to PRINTERNAME. Proceed only if you trust he\servername computer and the network, and then restart the print job."You add the driver, everytime, but makes no difference. Everything works fine for the day, if you hibernate the laptops and bring back to life, its fine.. but its only on a cold boot.Anyone got clues, it seems to be very common when googling,
I have installed windows 7 on my computer about a year ago. I've never had any problems to the point where I would need to reinstall the OS, however, I've noticed that on cold boots the system runs painfully slow, it will boot up fairly fast on a normal restart tho, like 20-35 seconds. On a cold boot it can take about 1-2 minutes to load in windows, and then once that happens its not so much it going slow as that there is a point during which I cannot click anything or else it will take forever to accomplish.
What I mean by this is, it will load to my desktop and for a period of about 3 more minutes I will try to right click on the desktop and it will do the circle thing for like 20 seconds before giving me the drop down menu. If I right click again right after, it shows up instantly. Same with trying to open up a file within those first couple of minutes. It will take like 45 seconds to open a picture. I have tweaked my windows 7 to startup only necessary drivers and turned off search index along with Aero.
My HDD isn't fragmented and I've got about 120gbs out of 450 available. So its not that bad. Now some of you may say, well its just loading the processes. But I only have catalyst control center loading up as a startup item. And even after it loads. It goes through a wierd 3-4 minute phase in which everything is slow as hell. Then works perfectly fine.
I have BSOD problem only when computer is "cold". example: After night when computer was turned off.
After a few restarts the computer starts normally and I can reboot, turn of and on with no problem until is "warm". When switching off for a few hours BSOD comes back.
I have built my computer about 2 months ago now, and had nothing but issues with it, display drivers stopped responding, alot of BSOD (bccode 1a and 50), black screens, lockups and so forth, i have FINALLY read enough forums over this 2 month period to solve majority of problems accept one, Computer runs fine, but every morning on cold bootup it'll start to load POST and then go to a black screen and just stay there unless i reboot the computer and then it'll bootup fine. I will turn off the computer after that and go to work for about 8-10hours come home and turn it on all fine, untill the next day. I have tried new ram, fail safe settings in bios, updated bios to the lastest, bought a new power supply, tried reconnecting everything, unpluged storage harddrive. Only thing i could think of causing the problem is my video card drivers, because as soon as i install the drivers i get "drivers have stopped responding but have recovered" screen would lock up freeze/artifacts and then come back, until i changed my idle clocked from 157/300 to 400/900 and it sorted out that problem, but those settings dont kick in until i reach into desktop, could it be trying to load the ati drivers during post and black screening?
This is not a typical BSOD crash. My Dell Inspiron's monitor intermittently doesn't wake up once power management shuts it off. The problem is monitor doesn't fully shut off. One way to know the monitor won't wake up is when the CPU is griding away, fan is on full blast, laptop heated up, monitor still has a faint white brightness but no disk activity. I have tried connecting the laptop HDMI and VGA output different monitors and TVs but the monitor/ TV doesn't recognize any input signal during this phase. Yesterday, CPU suddenly started griding away without a pause while I was working and the base plastic was so hot I couldn't place it on my lap anymore. System Idle was 95-99%; I wanted to check whether laptop will not wakeup after power management kicks and this morning I couldn't wake up the laptop and had to cold boot it
I cannot put my laptop to sleep or hibernate when this occurs, the computer will just keep griding away with fan at full blast but will never hibernate or sleep.
I've run chkdsk, defrag etc but no issues were reported. I have checked for viruses etc, nothing obvious.
My Windows 7 64 bit machine will not boot. It keeps going into Windows System recovery mode. I have tried that multiple times and rebooted each time but no luck.System specs - Windows 7 64 bit, 16gb ram. Core i7-920 with 12 gb ram. This is an OEM disc that I bought from comp store, all parts and OS are less than three years old. C: drive - windows install a few apps, Drive 1 - games and music,
1) tried looking up this error with instructions. online instructions have had me go into the command prompt to perform edits on the c: windowsSystem32 folder. These do not come up in my prompt on my c: drive - where windows in installed. See program files etc, but no Windows32 folder. 2) already have run the c: chkdsk /r to try and fix the disc. It went through everything and comes back saying there are no problems. Still cannot boot to windows either get BSOD mentioned above or recovery mode. 3) Cannot go to previous restored state (one of the choices ) as it states that I have no restore points although I know that I have established at least 2 in the last 2-3 months 4) Tried inserting the Windows 7 disc and running repair from there but it just takes me to the same Windows system recovery mode which still does not work. 5) I tried hitting F8 during boot to go into safe mode but no good. it only takes me to a screen which gives me the option for boot order. 6) run the memory test from recovery console - no problems.
I have read the BSOD thread but everything there seems to assume that you can already boot into Windows at sometime and download the exe to run. (I cannot get into windows at all)Does anyone have any suggestions? I built this one myself (4th build) and have never in the 10 years of using Windows had a problem which I could not get into at least safe mode.I can go to maybe until this weekend but need to use my computer by Saturday cob.If I have had no luck at that point i will have to reinstall windows (it is on its own harddrive with most all of my applications on separate drives. So that may be a small blessing.I have had no strange occurrences while using the computer which is on pretty much 24/7.Is this what happens when a harddrive crashes? This one is about 2.5 years old and there have been no warning signs that something was amiss (no clicking etc)
I'll make it long story short. I had turned off some unnecessary things in msconfig like some of the pre-loaded vaio software that I never used, but realized I had turned off the service that allows me to change the volume, brightness, etc...so I turned that back on in msconfig, and restarted. What has been happening since is it will BSOD at the windows loading screen, right before the screen where it asks for your password. It will say "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" I have tried starting in safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking, last known good configuration, and normally. I've also tried the "repair your computer" option in the advanced boot options, and when that loads, it just opens a low resolution windows background and shows the mouse on the screen forever. I even let it sit all night to see if it was just being horrendously slow and it was still just a blank screen with the mouse. I also made a windows repair CD on my home PC and tried using that, and it still does not repair it. I can't even boot my laptop anymore. It's a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Sony Vaio VPCCW17FX, I just reformatted it back in august?
today i got a BSOD that said:Windows has shut down to prevent damage to computer.I couldn't get the dump file because i cannot boot it.All i did before was plugged in a new headset before even booting it.The biggest issue comes that i can't boot windows 7 from cd/dvd.It stops at windows boot screen.Same happens when booting from CD / DVD.( I am not overclocking )I just had 2 more blue screens i didn't had enough time to read it but it says BAD_HEADER (while booting in safe mode)and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ( booting in normal mode)
So I'm not sure where to start. I can't get into windows to attach a log on here. I swapped out almost every piece of hardware. Sometimes the windows loading screen freezes and I need to shut it down myself and sometimes it doesn't but that's where I end up with the blue screens or it reboots itself right as it tries to load windows. I've been getting mainly 124 and x09c errors. It crashed in the middle of playing battlefield3. I was able to log onto windows maybe 3-4 times before it wouldn't even let me get close
I'm having problems with my brothers PC, a few months ago everything was fine, the we added 2 Gb RAM and suddenly it was frozen, ok restarted and once in a while he got that kind of problems, sudden freezes or reboots, then one day it won't boot showing a BSOD regarding win32k.sys and another with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and finally evolved to BAD_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INFO. it just won't start, did the chkdsk as suggested by a live ubuntu CD and it was a 4 day chkdsk, at least after that I was able to see my files in ubuntu. Tried everything with the recovery options and none worked.
Well that's the background, I reisntalled Win7 in a new HDD and after a few days this time tested the system for a week with the original 2 RAM sticks, after that a one of the new stick was installed and everything went fine for another 2 week till it had boot problems, after trying to do things with the repair options again I was able to get in the disk so I could backup with Ubuntu, saved info but win still wont start, and then it appeared as if it wasn't formatted, so I installed XP in another disk and tried to open the disk, it wasnt formatted so I run chkdsk and the disk was fine again, restart and this time there was no Bootmgr (dont know what happened, I installed XP with the other disk unplugged) so I copied it from the installation disk and it loaded windows (with the vista animation... repaired with a line code from a win blog) and again everything was running again nicely.
A few days ago it happended again, this time while windows has loading (orbs) the tablet started blinking and nothing happended, reboot, safe mode, reboot and everything ok.
Today, it stopped right after the orbs animation, just right before the login, 1 minute and nothing happened, so reboot and asked for chkdsk, once it was complete, it tool about 30 min to load the desktop and it was unusable I let it load for an hour it loaded gadgets but still unusable tried to click something and it gave me a terminate process window, so again reboot and now every partition needed chkdsk, if cancelled the BAD_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INFO prompted, I wasn't able to even start from XP it displayed disk error at bios, then again tried with win 7 and this time the and let it finish chkdsk in the installation unit, it finally started but I cant access 3 of 4 partitions in the other disk, only the one with XP installed.
Right now I'm trying to recover the other partitions with the chkdsk in the cmd, but I don't have a clue of what is happening.
What I know is:
- The two RAM sticks installed right now are fine, worked fine before the new ones. - The slow windows loading could be caused due some driver, in this case I've read quicktime uses the same path as the wacom tablet and add a semicolon everytime it updates but don't know exactly what that means. My brother installed quicktime through a download manager from softonic the day before the problem happened again (the repaired installation). Deactivated QT update and worked for a few days till now.
Right now I was able to recover 3 of 4 partitions, the one I couldn't recover was the one with the previous installation (before the new HDD), it says the MFT is damaged and chkdsk can't continue, how can I fix that?
I don't know what might cause the problem, might be the old HDD? Some driver? What can be the cause for those chkdsks? I tried a lot of things, right now even powering off the PSU with the back switch (after shutting down win of course) looks suspicious.
The PC specs are:
AMD Phenom II 965BE MoBo Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H 2 1Gb Kingston RAM Gigabyte ATI Radeon 5770 1 WD SATA 2 500 Gb (old installation broken MFT in one partition) 2 WD SATA 3 500 Gb (new one with current installation) CM Silent Pro 600W PSU
Recently my computer has been randomly just giving me the BSOD. Normally this problem was resolved by a simple restart but tonight about an hour before I posted this, the blue screen sent me back to startup but instead of giving me the usual "Security mode" and Regular Startup. It gave me Startup Repair and normal startup. After clicking normal startup just to see if it would correct itself like normal,my pc instantly BSOD'd, bringing me back to my two options. I've been sitting here staring at the startup repair screen for about an hour now.
I Have a Toshiba Portege R707 Running Windows 7 Home Prem, 64 bit. A few days ago it began getting sluggish and my wife finally told me it was frozen and would not boot. I have tried booting it to a repair disk, safe mode and using an original boot disk. It simply freezes and I am not sure how to get a copy of the BSOD as it flashes through very quickly. I am not sure why the HD filled up completely or how to eliminate some of the files/data to give windows enough room to start. I have Partition Wizard Home Edition Home Edition 7.1 and could clean it out for a restart but would like to save the Picts and Docs if possible.
Ok, my computer had been having problems before but now when i'm booting up my computer I get the blue screen that's says unmountable_boot_volume right after the starting windows screen. I cannot get windows to start in safe mode or any of the other advanced boot options. The only time I don't get the blue scren is when I try start up repair, which just causes a black screen with the cursor. I googled the problem and from what I can gather I Need a windows 7 disk to repair this problem but my problem is I have no disk nor can I get a hold of one. Is there some other way to fix it without the disk?
I have a modified HP Media Center Edition. My dad was on it and said that it crashed with a BSOD. When I rebooted it said Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. I inserted the Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate installation disk that I had used to install this copy and the computer booted. Thee black screen with the windows logo showed before the computer did another BSOD. The message read:
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED-AREA". I booted the computer again and attempted to do a system repair but it said that the problem could not be repaired automatically. I was unable to do a system restore because it said no image was saved. I keep getting the BSOD every time I attempt to boot. I have not recently added any new hardware and there is nothing in the USB ports.
I had a few BSOD's and was going to do a system restore as I could not even get to post the dmp files up here coz the pc kept restarting with BSOD.
Upon starting the system restore to factory setting i got another BSOD. now the laptop only turns on to a black screen asking for windows 7 install cd which i do not have. can i jus get any windows 7 installation cd to reinstall.
Late last night I was unable to start my PC (Currently browsing via my laptop). I decided to get a good night's sleep and deal with it today.The BSOD message I'm getting is:STOP 0x00000074 BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO I tried removing my current RAM and replacing it with older (but more reliable DDR3 RAM), to no avail.I also tried booting into System Repair and Safe Mode. System Repair doesn't let me use my mouse and eyboard, and Safe Mode brings me to the same BSOD. *Changed where they were plugged in an they now work I'm at my wit's end Running:Windows 7 64-bit Professional DDR3 Corsair CM3X1024 (I replaced FOR: DDR3 Corsair CML16GX3M4A1600C9 16gb)Unable to create logs because I am unable to access Safe Mode or anything else really Update 1: Replaced CM3X1024 with the original Corsair 4GBx4 RAM I had in there and I'm currently running Memtest86+
I usually have to boot my machine twice. I boot the first time, log into my (domain) account, and once windows loads, I get a BSOD. After that, if I reboot, the system works all day.
This happens if I'm bringing it out of sleep or hibernate too, but it has to be inactive for a few hours for it to give a BSOD.
I am running a Dell Latitude D620. Windows 7 Pro 32 bit (fully licensed) 4 GB RAM Intel T2500 2.00 GHz processor Joined to a domain
I get BSOD both in XP and Windows 7, both installed on the same machine (on different HDD if it makes any diferenece). On XP i get : DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL On Windows 7 : IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
