After a bsod which I did not have the chance to see or read which happened at a random time (or so my friend says) when trying to boot to windows right after the windows logo comes up, a bsod pops up and the computer restarts. Then you get a choice to either enter windows repair or start windows normally. Start windows normally obviously returns the same result.
If I choose windows repair it fixes nothing and I end up in a loop unable to start windows. I tried these instructions here Startup Repair Infinite Loop Recovery with no success so I copied the dmp files from command line in windows repair to a usb stick and it�s 344MB! Should I upload to some host and post here or is there�s something wrong, Ive never seen a dmp this big.
How can I quickly delete the content.ie5 folder? I've tried just deleting the folders(8) within the file but it takes forever and freezes up (right clicking & deleting). I tried through cmd prompt, but it still takes a long time. Is there a cmd prompt that'll just delete the file as a whole...I think I used something like /d and tried to do an individual folder and it took a while and I gave up...this was about 2 months ago. I saw a new cmd command rmdir /s...I don't know know if it's quicker or not. Is there a program I can download. And I right clicked and clicked on properties to see how big the file is and it's 85gb. I have screenshots and need a quick solution. It takes forever to do a virus scan, because it keeps getting hung up in the content.ie5 folder. And a couple of months ago...I found a virus/adware in those folders.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. My SSD drive (128GB) died and I am waiting for a replacement so I decided to reconstruct the OS drive and transfer the image when I get my SSD back in a week or so. I decided to partition a drive of approx. 128 GB after I finished configuring Windows 7. However, There is a HUGE .sys file on my C drive. The name looks like some sort of system generated name ({aed8a510-a6d5-11e1-94ce-806e6f6e6963}.sys). It looks like a GUID and it is 134GB. I can't get into the file because it's a sys file and I'm sure if I delete it there will be terrible consequences. It has todays date on it. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? I've used Disk Cleanup and CCleaner and a few other utilities and Googled it like crazy to see if it can be safely deleted but none of these even list it.
My 300gb HD is filling up and I've determined something is creating huge (80-150gb) temp files.I delete them and they come back a few days later.I haven't installed any new programs except a few Topaz Photoshop plugins so I can't figure out what is making this huge file.Any ideas of how I can isolate the problem or limit the size of temp files?
I have a 80MB HTML report and I don't know how to open it.
I tried Firefox and IE but they both can't handle the whole file. On IE it says "Done" but it stops working just when I want to scroll(or click on the window).
Firefox I could scroll for about 2 seconds before it stopped responding and I had to kill it.
*Okay all of a sudden IE successfully finished loading the HTML file and I can now scroll around the file but it is so slow and unusable. I am now trying to search in it and it is stuck again. I mean it will probably work, but it is too much to wait. *Again, it took about 1-2 mins to finish searching and output marked results through all the file.
A while ago, I had a triple boot system, but now, I'm using one of the hard drives for something else, so now it is only dual-boot. However, for some reason, I cannot get Windows 7 to see the new boot file.I constructed the original boot system with EasyBCD. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. When I started up the software to make the dual-boot system, it said it couldn't find my boot files. So, I constructed the dual-boot system, and I wrote it on the drive. However, when I start up the computer, I still see the old triple boot menu. I tried clearing it with the Windows 7 restore disk, but it doesn't see Windows 7 on the hard drive.
I created an answer file using the windows AIK tool called Windows System Image manager tool. Great tool by the way! Well even better once I get my Answer file to boot from the USB. I created the answer file and copied it to my USB drive inserted the Win7 Ultimate disk in by cd Rom and USB in its port and when I reboot it tells me unable to find boot.
[code] When I boot from it after the "Starting Windows" Screen I get BSOD and it says "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA".This is what I thought was important from the BSOD all the middle text says is disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing, and I have no idea how to do that and no idea if that would even fix this. Can this be caused from a faulty hard drive or is this a problem with the install disk itself.
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.

I recently formatted my computer running windows XP & installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. (actually, it's been about a week).I've noticed that games have been super laggy and the FPS could drop to 1 FPS from time to time. It has made it extremely difficult for me to play Starcraft II and other games.I have installed all the correct & most recent drivers for my hardware (mobo, graphics card, sound card, etc...). I've done virus scans even though I haven't really downloaded much onto my PC aside from iTunes, Chrome, etc.I've played around with my nVidia control panel settings, & in game graphic settings (from highest to lowest). It didn't fix the low FPS.
Just got a new computer, ZT Systems 3.4 i7-2600, 16 GB RAM, running Windows 7 64 bit. I love the computer, I love working on the OS. I do not love the massive amounts of bandwidth I'm using apparently from doing nothing.In 24 hours, we used 4.5 gigs of Internet bandwidth on this thing. Running Windows XP on our earlier computer ... yes, we were badly out of date ... we averaged about 25 gigs of bandwidth a MONTH.This is a concern because we have Comcast as our ISP, and they have a cap of 250 GB a month before they will turn you off.And yes, I can do the math, we could still do 10 times our previous usage before hitting the cap, but there's also the thing that I like to be in complete and total control of my system and have it behave the way I want it to, and I'm not liking this OS eating bandwidth like this.We did have some update downloads, but they were nowhere near a gig, let alone 4.5.Most of the usage over the 24-hour period was, basically, surfing the Internet.Like this morning, I logged onto the computer and was sending email from web browser (don't have address book moved over yet). I was watching usage just as an experiment. It was negligible, then bam, 182 MB. When I detected this problem, I downloaded Net Balancer to check on things, and it showed that huge spike was from svchost.exe. I'm also getting huge spikes from Service Traffic.
We do not have a virus or malware, have run scans.We do have a network set up, but our router is secure and we've seen no suspicious usage. No one is leeching off the system. In fact, most of the first 24 hours was spent without a router even hooked up and broadcasting, I had to replace the one we had because it wasn't Windows 7 compliant.I have very few startup programs running, only the necessary ones, have checked that.I'm getting a bit of extra bandwidth usage as per Net Balancer from Norton's stuff which came bundled with the computer, which I hate and am going to get rid of as soon as it's time to renew our licenses with ESET which we've used for years and uses microscopic bandwidth and CPU.If I need to provide any other info, I can, although I'm not great at screen shots.is this just a quirk of Windows 7 64 bit that we're going to have to live with and adjust to, or can it be made to stop? I've been scouring the Internet the last day, including this forum and have seen that this has been an issue for other folks. I've seen folks advised to check for viruses, check the processes running, etc., and then when everything checks out, it's like "OK."Well, this isn't OK as far as I'm concerned, I want to make it stop if I can. I've got too much into the computer to want to take it back and go two systems backward to XP, but I'm really not loving this. I want to make it stop.
I think its a serious problem, but something is writing huge files into my WindowsTemp folder TMP0000000789F2D108048D0CAD is an example of a filename. Its roughly around 4 gigs. The problem is causing my netbook to be very slow and I suppose it harms the HD as well.It writes until space free is very little. Goes away after a long time and does cleanup again. But is very annoying.
I've got a new copy of windows 7 (32 bit version) I have got 4 GB ram only 3,25 in use (like I had on the XP version, running on the same PC) and after I boot up the PC I just look at the desktop, play with some random games, create and delete folders, do some little stress to the RAM or sometimes just doing nothing. The only boot that works is safe mode and its variants. Things that I've done in the past 7 days:
- I checked RAM integrity - no errors - Everything is up to date (drivers, everything) - it BSOD'ed even with a fresh copy of Windows 7 - I use wireless if that is a problem, found some errors about it and will post them after this list - Enabled services and disabled them VIA msconfig (toying around I found out that it WONT CRASH with any internet service on normal mode) - I checked Windows 7 compatibility and it's 100% compatible - Tried to update BIOS but I don't think it will solve anything anyways - Used dozens of registry cleaners (CCleaner and lots; lots more) - still nothing - Put a second HDD on my machine with Windows 7 same version, it still crashed, but on the other machine the second HDD works great.

I tried to run Mem86 and Windows Memory Diagnostic, but the BIOS doesn't allow booting from a USB drive. Also, Windows 7 doesn't seem to recognize the .iso file on the DVD even when I turned off "boot from hard drive" to force it to boot from the DVD drive.
I just bought a new motherboard and CPU. They are an ASUS P8Z68-V LX with an i5-2500k processor. It goes through the boot cycle all the way up until it says "Starting Windows", then it pauses and flashes BSOD for a split second.
I recently started having problems where my computer will randomly BSOD. After that i get an error saying no boot manager can found and I just have to manually restart my computer. Ill attach the diagnostics .zip
This query is concerning how Win 7 Ultimate Scheduled Backup works.These are my needs.Often in the past, Windows 7 has become unstable in some way, such that different pgms including Windows Explorer, and other system tools become corrupt. I decide to re-install Win 7 Ultimate 32bit.I have an external 500Gb drive with an Acronis True Image Home 2009 full partition backup on it. The backup is a fully updated, fully game installed backup, and is way faster to use compared to the individual software installations. Since Windows 7 starts acting up about every 3-6 months for me, I replace it.Recently (last restore) I decided to let win Backup and Restore do a scheduled backup every 7 days. I let Win choose what to backup. I intend to let Win be THE backup to use to replace the OS when needed. I have always had problems running out of space where to let Win Backup to on some drives, so I dedicated a 443Gb partition to Backup only. This is on the other half of a 1Tb drive. (I know in some cases it is not wise to use the same drive, but I put all the important things on another physical drive) I have 4 drives, totaling about 3.8Tb. 2 have XP Pro, and 2 have Windows 7 Ultimate. The main C: is 487Gb, with 231Gb used space. The other half of it is N: 443Gb; on which the Backup is written to each week. The size of the backup is now 407.12Gb. The backup on N: is approaching TWICE the size of the used space on the C: drive! And within about a month there will be no more room.I want mainly to retain a pristine Operating System to reload, along with the basic games which are huge. This will save the time WHEN, not IF Windows 7 begins to fail again. (not saying it is a bad or weak OS, just that it fails for me for reasons needing replacement. If only it were as robust as XP has been in the past.)
1. How can I retain a PERFECT OS and games image to use as a basic unchanged original with Win Backup?
2. As Win gets corrupted, how can I know that the latest Backup I might want to restore from isn't corrupt?
3. Can Backup be set to not make redundant Backups that become so huge, yet maintain the original perfect OS and game set, such as a dated incremental backup that can be used to piece together a C: drive again?
4. How do I know that Backup isn't backing-up malware?
5. If I save the latest backup, and the first one, how big should each one actually be?
6. Can I get into the actual backup files individually to decide if I want to restore from them--the options are limited.
7. Win says that it will work "without taking up more than 30 percent of space on the backup disk". Out of a 443Gb drive letter, there is only 33Gb of space left. All done automatically.
8. Is the fact that there is a total of 4 OS's on this computer making the Backups so large? I would assume it is only doing the C: drive, as I would wish, yet something is getting copied over and over, likely. Again, possibility of the latest backup being corrupted is on my mind.
Short of cloning a new disk to replace the later corrupt one, updating it just prior to copying it over, the only other thing I can see doing is to only run the OS on the C: drive, making it easier to replace, yet that has many inherent problems with pgms not working after the OS is replaced, and needing to reinstall anyway.Sorry about the length of this inquiry, but you can see I need assistance.
Upon inserting the windows installation disk into the drive, the basic windows procedures took place. It then asked where we wanted to intall the windows operating system. We decided we wanted to partition his one and only hard drive (a 1TB Seagate at 7200rpm or so). We chose a 100GB partition to be the primary drive where the operating system would be installed. Windows also created a 104mb drive for system files or some nonsense. That left a 900 GB partition that would NOT have windows 7 installed on it. Everything installed, PC booted up and when we open windows explorer, the 900 GB drive does not appear. Maybe it has not been formatted?
I have another laptop and its a HP 2230s. I originally installed Windows 7 professional 64bit. But I have swapped the ram into my Lenovo ThinkPad. So the HP now has 2GB. I created a new partition and installed Vista Business 32bit on it. When I started the install windows .exe program in Windows 7, everything went well until it rebooted. When I rebooted, windows said something like:
Windows Boot manager:
The system cannot boot because of a recent change to files/hardware. (Something like that). Insert your windows disk.
So I just rebooted my laptop with the vista disk inside and installed. After, when everything was working, I wanted to go to the Windows 7 partition to un-install programs and copy some files over to the vista partition, the laptop just booted into vista.
I downloaded the easy BCD editior and visual BCD editor. (in the vista partition), I clicked the auto fix in visual BCD editor. It detected my windows installations. At the boot screen, I can select either Windows 7 or Vista. But when I select 7, the same error message appears.
Then I rebooted my laptop with a USB containing the Windows 7 (64bit) recovery tools. After, I don't have the message again. But when it goes to the starting windows animation, it stops halfway and it gets a BSOD. I tried debugging mode, it worked.
I found out that the larger partition, (Windows 7) is the C: drive. But when I boot into the smaller partition, (Windows Vista), the drive is also C:!. So I don't know what I could do.
I insert the windows 7 disk and repaired my installation, it just boots into windows 7. But when I insert the Vista disk and repaired my installation, it just boots into Vista!
ive been having these BSOD problems for a couple weeks.. they seem to occur only when i start my computer in the morning and do it a lot for the first hour or so, then seem to quit for the rest of the day.. ive changed all drivers and completely reformatted and reinstalled windows too... no luck?
I got a dual boot with GRUB2, Arch Linux + Windows 7 Pro x64.Always used it with no problems, and now the Windows loader can't work.I only managed to read the status value, 0xC0000225, and something like "boot manager generic failure", "a required device is inaccessible".I tried using the repair function from my full retail dvd, but it didn't work as well. I think it's because it acted on the windows partition, while the windows boot is stored in another partition of about 100mb, wich was created automatically during the dvd installation.So I guess the solution would be giving to the repair function the right drivers to let it "see" the boot partition, but how?

i have my old toshiba laptop satellite L745 . windows 7 ultimate(x86) Quad core with 4g ram and AMD radeon graphic cards. Recently I left my laptop untouched for a week because of our school exams. After finishing our exams I rushed going home to play with my laptop but when i try to open it , it hangs up on "starting windows screen" i try waiting for it in a few minute but that screen suddenly shows a BSOD error then my laptop reboot showing me the "Windows Error Recovery screen" with 2 options 1. Launch Start up Repair and 2. Start Windows Normally . I try choosing the 1st one (launch Start up repair) But after loading windows files it just show a plain Black screen with a mouse cursor.
When I try to boot my windows 7, it fails and a blue screen appears, stating that the error message "Stop: 0xed". I try to repair windows, but it fails.So, I reinstall my windows 7. And it works fine in several days, but the blue screen occurs again. I have encountered this situation several times. Reinstall, blue screen, reinstall.I found that before the blue screen occurs, my computer shut down normally.
I upgraded my pc components and now it will not start at all. As far as I can see all the bios settings are correct. On first start up a message come up first saying no disks found, then when I click onto the bios menu i have AHCI mode enabled and it detects SSD and CD drive absolutely fine. First I tried booting from original SSD with windows 7 already installed. Kept getting BSOD every time I get to windows loading screen.
Then after reading on forums people were re-installing windows back on to the SSD, but when trying to boot from the cd drive(yes its a bootable disc) nothing happens and it just goes to the windows repair screen then does nothing after attempting to repair. i have tried removing the SSD so only the cd drive is visible but then it comes up with the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key"
I have removed graphics card and tried on board graphics. I have tried barebones. I have tried new cables. I have cleared Cmos + update
Recently, my computer has been behaving quite oddly. It hasn't been booting up, but hasnt given any error messages. When I try to boot, it will open up to a black screen where the Starting Windows stuff is supposed to appear, but nothing will happen. I'll restart it a bunch of times, and eventually I'll get one where the words Starting Windows are there, but still nothing happens. If it offers me the option to load the repair program, it will open the screen that says windows is loading the files with the loading bar at the bottom, but nothing will load. It takes anywhere from 10 to 30 restarts before i'll seemingly just get lucky and it will turn on.Also, I've been freezing lately while playing BF3. My video card drivers are up to date, along with the other main drivers. Sometimes, I'll get a BSOD if I wait long enough, but it doesnt ususally happen. Also, when starting, sometimes when it says on the boot screen "Verifying DMI pool data", nothing will happen, and then it will suddenly say: Disk read error, press cntrl + alt + delete to restart.This leads me to believe that it's a disk error, which explains a lot of the symptoms i've been having lately, but I just dont know where to start the diagnosis.
The PC was displaying symptons of page hijacking, so I ran MalwareBytes and got rid of 17 objects. Did not make a difference, so I ran TDSSKiller. It found 1 bit of malware but the hijacking persisted. I downloaded ComboFix and ran it in Safe Mode. It gave me some sort of error that was only visible for a split second before it disappeared, leaving only the initial small blue CF box, which stopped functioning, and I noticed that the CF task was gone. This happened 3 times in a row.
I then tried a system restore to about 3 weeks ago. It probably sat on the 'restoring files' screen for a half hour before finally saying 'Shutting Down'. After 45 minutes of (not) shutting down I pressed the power button and turned it off.
A restart brought me to the Windows Error Recovery Screen where I am presented with but 2 choices - Launch Startup Repair or Start Windows Normally.
The 'repair' option takes me to a Windows Boot Manager screen which prompts me to insert the install disk and reboot, indicating that The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible
So I use the CD. When booting from that CD I can see it loading files, then it says Starting Windows, the initial blue sky screen displays for a few seconds - then the BSOD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with an 0x50 code. This always happens with this disk.
A different Windows 7 CD has given me the same start up to the blue sky, but with 3 different BSODs. One had Bad Pool Header and the other said An attempt was made to write to read-only memory and the 3rd had the same PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Only 3 of the 4 choices presented to me at HP opening boot screen seemed to work when I first started this awful task. F11 for Recovery did nothing. I DID use f9-Diagnostics and it passed all the tests. Now, sadly, the only option that works is ESC to change the boot order.
Every once in a while, when I go over a link, my cursor will become (for about a tenth of a second) a huge, kind of greenish-orange Link cursor. This has happened for a while... The earliest I can think of it happening was a few days after I installed Office 2010 Beta.
The desktop icons are suddenly huge and we can't figure out why it suddenly happened or how to make them smaller. We're using the highest resolution available, 1360 x 768.
I know there is a way to define the size of the icons; but, I can't remember what it is.
