BSOD Without Reason On A New Computer Files Zipped
Aug 24, 2012
I recently built my own computer and since I got it up and running, my computer has been blue screening without any reason that I can find. It never BSOD's during the same thing. Sometimes I'll be playing a game, other times just browsing the internet, and once while watching a movie.I'd rather not have to wipe the computer and start over, since I just got it fully situated and functioning. Well, functioning for the most part, minus the BSOD.
I had a bunch of zipped font folders on my computer the other day and was installing them without issue, but I clicked something, and they all instantly turned to PDFs. I deleted them all. But now, when I download fonts, my PC no longer recognizes the folders as zipped files containing fonts for me to extract. It gives me the option of opening it with Acrobat or Irfanview or it tells me to choose a default program. I lost my computer in a tornado storm and got a new one and need to have certain fonts installed for a book I'm working on.
To the point- specs of my comp- AMD Phenom II X2 550 (no OC), 4 Gb Memory (Kingston), Geforce GTX 260 (latest drivers), Chieftec 600W, Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit. From time to time, without any specific reason, I've got BSOD's. I realise that often (but not always) they are connected with watching films or playing games (recently for instance Diablo 3). Sometimes BDSOD's occur 5 times during one day and sometimes I have they off my head for 2 weeks. I tested my hardware with Memtest, Orthos, Prime95 and some other programs- can't remember their names- no errors at all. Here are my dumps file.
I've been leaving my PC on while I sleep to download files but I've noticed the past few nights I wake up and see I have an error saying windows had shut down because of a fault of something, so I ran "whocrashed" and found out that my PC had bluescreened 3 times I've tryed all the ways I've previously been told to fix these problems but nothings changed
My laptop has been crashing rather frequently, and is starting to be a pain. Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, original installed OS on system, OEM. Bought in 2009. I have not re-installed the OS.
The BlueScreen that comes up has no line of data at the top on bold print! It has the STOP code at the bottom, but the screen only stays up long enough for it to quickly make a dmp file before it automatically reboots. Therefore, no idea what it's trying to tell me! Once it restarts successfully, the little window pops up with the BCCodes etc., and links to the Minidump folder. Oldest saved Info (after the first time, when I was clueless and closed the window):

Last night I was on face book playing a game and my computer shut off for no reason.I turned it back on but it shut off again after about 10 minutes.I downloaded hijackthis but it won't seem to work for me,it dos the scan but I get a message saying,for some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file.If any highjackthis domains are in this file,hijackthis may not beable to fix this.
im not sure what this means, but im shocked to learn that windows 7 just restarted my computer or crashed and i dont know why. can anyone help me? im using build 7077. and heres the stuff from event viewer relating to the restart.
My problem is after several power outages, I noticed my computer is running slow, all my games run at 10 fps maximum, when I used to get over 70 fps, Even videos are suffer from fps drop, I tried cleaning the PC, fans are running alright. [code]
I have a 4 month old Asus G60Jx and, lately, it started freezing for no apparent reason. It freezes the most when I'm running a few applications together such as google chrome (with lots of tabs)+ powerpoint+winamp+adobe reader. However, it should not be the case of exhausting the memory (this laptop has 8Gb RAM).
My specs are: Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit Nvidia Geforce GTS 360M i7 Q720 1.6GHz 8Gb Ram
I am running windows 7 on my hp desktop. For some reason, when I load windows, after a few minutes, out of no where while I am using the computer, windows forces a a shutdown. If I can make it to press cancel, it will cancel the shutdown temporarily but then it will come back to shut down and the second time it won't even ask me, it will just force the shutdown. Sometimes when she's really cranky it won't even load windows. Like as soon as I type in my admin password, it forces the shutdown. It's driving me insane. I thought it had something to do with norton antivirus so i contacted them and they gave me norton antivirus 11 from 10 and that did not solve squat! I did run a system restore and i scan my comp for viruses but was not able to solve the problem.
I built a gaming rig at the end of June, and at first I noticed every once in a while the mouse icon would stutter a lot when moving, then it'd be fine. Figured it was maybe just interference with bluetooth, as I'm using a Logitech MX 5500. However, last night while listening to music on iTunes, it started happening again and the audio would cut in and out with distortion until I just closed iTunes completely. The issue came up again today while using Steam and iTunes at the same time and it forced me to quit both programs, as it didn't look like it was going to stop. Now, I've just noticed it again while trying to play a flash video online.
My computer just crashed due to the reason "IRQL less than or equal" or something along those lines, because it was only up for a second before my computer crashed. Minidump file is included in case anyone can help me. I think it might have to do with my ram, because ever since i bought it (around 2 months ago) i have crashed 4 times.
Computer crashes for no reason then fails to start. I get half of the post screen which says 1 Keyboard 2 Mice 1Hub then nothing? It should show all the HDD installed next but nothing shows. The only way of getting the computer to boot after this is to disconnect SSD from the motherboard? Any Ideas guys and gals...
Using Windows 7 x64. For some reason every night at 12am the computer wakes up for no apparent reason. I've checked the task scheduler quite extensively and can't find anything that is set to go at 12am exactly. I only have three items in my library and 2 of those are disabled. I looked pretty good in the microsoft section but couldn't find anything. How to locate this bugger?
I am trying to compress a file by sending to zipped folder.The file is a window minidump from a BSOD.I find that when I try and do this I get the error message "File not found or no read permission".I am definitely have administrative rights so I don't know what the problem is?
When I tried to zip a group of filesby right click option this error appeared:"compressed (zipped) folders rror""unable to complete operation""access is denied"I have full administrator's rights so can't understand why this is happening.The only thing that's changed on my system is an adobe reader update and a McAfee antivirus update.The list of permission entries:[CODE]
i used to download subtitles from a website which saves it in .aspx file (looking like zipped folder file) and after extracting it used to work fine.But yesterday, when i saved a file it got saved in .dat file. Thinking it will open in notepad (since .srt opens with notepad) i made it to 'OPEN WITH' notepad. But i was not able to view/use the file.Now when iam trying to download anyother sub from the same website it gets saved in notepad and will be of no use.Do i need to install anything so that i can use the file? How do i make it so that the file gets saved in a zipped looking folder and i can use the subs.
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.

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.
how to remove "briefcase" and "Compressed (zipped) Folder" from the New context menu. I've been tweaking it by going to specific entries in the registry, but don't know where to locate ShellNew for briefcase and zip folder. I've come across some downloadable automated ways of getting rid of them, but I won't do that, I want to do it manually myself.
About a week ago my PC had restarted on its own when I wasn't there and was stuck on a screen saying "Reboot and Select Proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in Selected Boot device and press any key ". I manually restarted the PC but nothing was shown on the screen. I turned off the PC, disassembled it and took out the BIOS battery and left it there for about 30 minutes. I then put everything back together and booted. The PC started fine but after about one hour it crashed for no reason. Since last week sometimes it crashes or restarts either within minutes from logging into windows either within an hour but never over 2 hours. At first I though it was a power supply issue, I had a Corsair VX550W for the last 4 years and so I replaced it with a brand new Corsair TX650, this has not solved anything though. But since I replaced the PSU the PC now only restarts every 1 hour when I am logged into windows. However, at this moment I have left it open into BIOS and it is working for 2 hours without any restart.
If I left my computer for 30mins, when I came back, it lags. While lagging, I opened Task Manager. The RAM usage its only 2.8Gb out of 8GB. If I use it for 2 mins, it back to normal...what is that?
I was planning on buying the upgrade because I need a 64 bit os. I've been told that the installation process was messy and that this was not a good choice specifically for gaming. I would be upgrading from windows xp 32 bit.
Are there any important issues that I should be aware of? Are these warnings true?
but i had a desktop windows 7 with some hidden files.I was getting a new laptop (macbook, to dualboot mac osx/windows 7)I got an external HDD and copied my old windows 7 files that i needed.Transfered them onto my macbook.All of my files i can access besides the ones that were "Hidden" on my old desktop.(Windows 7 desktop)I was just curious how i can have access to these files.
I thought I had this problem fixed but I guess not. My computer will randomly turn off (as if I unplugged it) at different times. I have had it done twice in the last hour I tried removing RAM in case that was the problem NO CHANGE. I bought a brand new power supply yesterday because I thought my old one was bad. It is a thermaltake 600 watts, which is more than enough to run this PC. A few days before that I got a new motherboard from the manufacturer. I am literally stumped, the only other thing I can think of is if my power switch is getting stuck. I have no idea how to replace or rewire a switch though besides getting a new case.
I have come across an issue lately that is kinda pissing me off. I installed iTunes in order to update my iPhone but for some unknown reason after I installed iTunes many of my executables crash for no reason. When I say crash I mean they won't even start up. The executables that crash are random each time and when I do a system restore it gets fixed till it gets messed up again. It even seems to happen after a clean installation of Windows.
Basically, what seems to be happening is when I'm using a program or something, like, for example, Google Chrome, the window will randomly be deselected or deactivated. It's like someone clicked on another window. Normally, this isn't a huge deal. I just click on the window and keep typing until it happens again (it usually happens two or three times then stops for a while); It's just annoying. But the real issue is when I'm playing a full-screen game, where it's constantly minimized. Not only does it take a good minute or two for my slow computer to pull the window back up, but this also sometimes crashes games, like Team Fortress 2.I haven't been able to play any games for a while.
I am using windows 7 x86 build 7600.The problem is that windows hangs and stops working now n then...It stops for some minutes and again normal performance.Mostly occurs when playing medias( VLC n Wmp) and browser (i use firefox).
