Bluescreens On A Brand New Pc?
Jan 11, 2013
I just built myself a new gaming PC, and I've been having bluescreens within a day of building it... It's obviously quite discouraging to have a expensive build have problems already, but I hope you guys here can give me some help. I usually check the BSoD with Bluescreenview, and I often see Drivers: ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0, dxgmms1.sys+1ded3, Ntfs.sys+f00c0,( and I got this one only once, usbfilter.sys+1d31,) fltmgr.sys+30eb0, nvlddmkm.sys+146003, dxgmms1.sys+7f01, dxgmms1.sys+1e8af, hal.dll+4a56. So OBVIOUSLY, I have a few problems... I hope they are easily solved, I don't mind a reinstall honestly, cause it wouldn't take long but thats always like the last option. Here are my PC specs: Sabertooth 990fx OCZ 3 120gb ssd (OS), 1.5tb seagate hdd (Storage), NZXT Phantom 410 case, 16gb of vengeance ram 1600mhz, AMX FX 8350 Black Edition, Corsair GS800 PSU and a friends GTX550 TI Galaxy graphics card, till I get a newer one.

Every time I restart windows my computer bluescreens. It started happening about two months ago. If needed here are my computer specs: I'm not sure why but I always get this message after I sign in: Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.

If I use any newer driver other than 260.99, my pc will randomly give blue screens. Either when my computer just booted up, or after a few hours.I have a GTS 250.Just some things I've tried so far:
TdrDelay tweak in registry.
Complete reinstall of Windows 7 with newest graphics drivers.
RAM checks
Using a two year old driver is not the end of the world, but it would be nice keeping my computer up to date.

Blue screens are coming at different times with different messages. I have not noticed a pattern, or certain thing happening at the time of crash.

I bought and assembled a new computer for a friend of mine, tested it, everything seemed fine, until they proved not to be. I've tested all components (proccessor, GPU, RAM, HDD) with all the tests I know for painstakingly long periods, with no errors whatsoever, but neverthelese computer keeps rebooting with BSODs at *random* intervals (independent of use).
is that it *might* be an incompatibility issue between the ram modules and the motherboard. Here I attach the SF tool results and an speccy image of the system.

I've been having some trouble with error code 109 on my PC. I have a dump file but I'm a noob at this and I don't know how to upload it. The specs are below: --- ASUS P8Z68-V LX motherboard Intel� Core� i5-2500K Processor (4x 3.30GHz/6MB L3 Cache) 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 corsair ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 2GB - Single Card 120 GB ADATA S510 SSD (for boot) 1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Dual 1TB Drives (1TB Capacity) - RAID 1 Data Security Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Realtek Sound card ---- I literally got this computer up and running two days ago. Everything was running fine until I tried putting games on it. First I started blue-screening during games, then eventually during web browsing, watching movies or idling. I then did a system restore back to before I installed any games and there were no blue screens. I tried installing a different game and the computer blue screened again with the 109 error code.
I've read that this problem could be due to faulty memory, so I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic with no errors. I am hesitant to run memtest because I really doubt it is a memory issue, since I bought this computer from ibuypower and they test these sorts of things before shipping it out.
My first guess is that this is a registry problem or a compatibility issue with Win 7 64-bit and these games (Bioshock 2 and Fallout 3) but I'm not certain. I've also read about issues with Realtek audio drivers and DirectX. I've seen others have problems with their HDD in RAID. I've just run a registry cleaner and hope this will solve some problems, but it is too early to tell yet.

I know it can be done via BIOS but I can find it in there.

I have a new M7 64 bit machine with 8GB of memory installed, specifically Samsung 4GB DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 memory (times 2) and I was wanting to add identical memory sold by Micro Center for half the price. Should I pay twice the price for Samsung memory?

I just received a Toshiba Tecra A11 from work.It's quite an alright computer, but it brings, as usual, the infamous bloatware from the manufacturer. what should I do?
1. Do nothing besides disabling startup programs
2. Uninstall programs
3. Install another Windows 7 version (alias cracked) without all that bloatware
The computer brings a fingerprint scanner and, as I don't like Windows 8, I'm not planning to do the switch.

I am working on putting together my first build.My question is specific to Windows. On the old HDD, which came from a dell laptop, already has windows installed on it. I know it will not work once it recognizes all of the hardware changes. I bought an OEM Windows 7 and a SSD. My plan is to install the OS onto the SSD as a boot drive.
- Will having the old OS on the HDD interfere with the new OS installation?
- OEM Windows 7 will tie itself to the new motherboard(so I have read). Does this mean that exact motherboard, if the motherboard fries, and I get a duplicate replacement(under warranty), will it recognize this and force me to repurchase the os? Same with the SSD, can I reinstall Windows onto it, if it gives out and is replaced(by warranty)?

Over the past couple of weeks, I have purchased three different computers. Two from HP and one from Dell. All three computers have the same freezing issue, even if there are no programs running. The only programs that have been installed are Quicken 2010, Turbotax 2010, and Microsoft Office 2007. The only other change made was uninstalling Norton AV and installing eset.The computer freezes up and the only way to get it working again is to hit ctrl alt delete to bring up the task manager. If I bring it up, everything starts working again for a short time. All three computers freeze often even when they have just booted up. All of the computers have been plugged into a power strip which is shared by a bunch of devices, so it's possbile that it could be a power issue, or maybe it's a compatibility issue between Windows 7 and one of the aforementioned programs.

Brand new netbook with windows seven running on it.Tried to download VLC player install. When I go to open it I get the NCIS error:"Install integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy".Re-downloaded it from different sites. Cleared browser, checked settings, tried cmd /NCRC. No luck. Then downloaded a no installer version of it and when I went to open it with WinRar.

I received my new system yesterday, and it works amazing well. Unfortunately, at random times, the computer will freeze for 15-30 ish seconds, then shut down and not restart. When i restart the system, i get the option to boot in safe mode. I choose to boot normally.

I just got a brand new computer last night, but the monitor looks very washed out, and blurry. I have researched the matter, but have found no solutions, and I really don't want to have to take it back. I ran a display quality test, and it found two errors, but didn't explain how to fix them... "Visual effects settings aren't optimized for best performance" "current video card driver isn't compatible with the wddm" My exact computer is this one... AX1430-UD30P | Product Model My exact monitor is this one... Amazon.com: Acer S230HL 23" Class Widescreen LED Monitor: Computers & Accessories?

I just bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 laptop. It has the new i-7 2630 processor, 8 gigs of RAM, 1gb nvidia 525m video card, 750 gigs WD hard drive, R+GBLED display (1920 x 1080), etc. As soon as I received it, I performed a clean install of Windows 7 HP. All the updates and drivers are current.It feels as though something is always running in the background and it's seriously screwing up my experience. The whole thing just lags. For example, whenever I edit posts in Wordpress, it takes forever to delete characters while typing (I'm using FF6). Going back and forth between Thunderbird and say MS Word takes like two seconds to switch between the windows.The interesting part is I'm not playing any games or running programs that are draining the memory. In fact, I only have MS Office, FF, Thunderbird, Adobe Reader, and Skype installed. And yet the performance sucks. The whole system feels like it's lagging, nothing is smooth. Moreover, the fan is on almost all the time, which was almost non-existent with the older system.
The system is replacing my Dell Inspiron 1545 which despite having only the Core 2 Duo processor, half the memory of this one, and on-board graphics, it works far smoother than this one with no lag whatsoever.I tried isolating the problem by minimizing the number of start-up applications but it did no good. Next I used the built in "display quality troubleshooter" and the report came back as "visual effects settings aren't optimized for best performance". But then again, the settings are exactly the same as the Inspiron. And that system ran fine on on-board graphics, let alone a dedicated graphics card available on this system.

We recently purchased parts to build 2 completely new PC's for our company. Both PC's have the exact same specs, hardware and software...
yet one of them keeps crashing every couple of days. The other one has not had a single problem yet.
I'm providing the 2 crash dumps from the offending PC. If anyone could help us out in assessing the problem, we'd greatly appreciate it as we have absolutely no clue what's gong on currently.

I've just bought a new computer and put it all together, installed drivers etc but no sound is working.If I go to Control PanelHardware and Sound it says "no audio devices are installed".However, if I go to Device Manager, under "Sound, video and games controllers" there are 4 instances of "NVIDIA High Definition Audio"Now I guess thie Nvidia drivers might work through the HDMI connection on the GPU, but my soiund setup is with the old audio jacks that plug in to the back of the motherboard.I tried uninstalling the nvidia audio drivers in device manager but when I rebooted they just installed themselves automatically!

So I just got this new Asus n53sn-xr2 laptop using windows 7, and already I'm having some problems with it. Basically what happens is it will freeze seemingly at random times (at first I thought it was firefox, but I just got it again using google chrome... I'm not sure if its related to browsing the internet or not) and the computer will, after a short period of time, become completely unresponsive. I can't even load task manager so the only way to turn of the computer is with the power button. One of the times my computer freezed I got a BSOD and it said "driver power state failure". I took a picture of it and I can provide the other information too if you need me too. I can return this computer by monday if it sounds like a hardware issue but if its not then I would much rather fix it because I've already put so much time into transferring all my files

Our HP died, so we found a Acer Aspire X1430g on clearance at Walmart for $240 so we snatched it up. It was purchased on Friday 6.1.12 and I still do not have it up and running.
When I got it set up I tried activating the Anti virus software that came with it. It just kept saying activating and sat there forever. I tried to visit some websites and some wouldn't load, others would take forever, windows live messenger would not sign in. I did the Acer E recovery since I didn't have a reboot disk made yet. It got all the way to step 29 of 29 and sat there and sat there, not going any further so I shut the computer down. Tried it again, and the same thing happened, it got to step 29 and that's as far as it got. I left the computer alone for 6+ hours while it was on step 29. I'm no expert but I am sure it does not take that long to restore a computer. Frustrated, I chatted with Acer and provided them with the serial number off the side of the unit. He told me that I would have to purchase the recovery disk off their website since the unit was purchased in November 2011. I told him again that it was a brand new unit and he said I would have to fax proof of purchase and serial numbers to prove we just bought it. I asked if there was any way we could check to see if it was installed properly at the factory and he said no, the E recovery was the only way to fix this problem. So, I am really frustrated at why this brand new computer will not work. Is there any other way to get the computer to restore? Should I try it in safe mode? Should I just take the unit back to Walmart?
Walmart's return policy is 15 days with receipt and all paperwork that came with computer.

I shouldn't really be surprised but when I received my new laptop in the mail today, I had certain expectations. I've spent most of the day setting it up and getting things ready to roll and I went to stream Netflix and saw this. very. halting. stop. and. start. playback. Worse than the old crappy laptop I'm replacing! So I google and find that I need Adobe Flashplayer. I check the programs that were loaded by the manufacturer and it wasn't included. Only Adobe Reader, whatever that is. So I downloaded that. I downloaded Java for the hell of it, though I'm not sure if that was necessary.
I restarted the computer and tried Netflix again. Same. exact. problem. I'm pissed, to be frank. I haven't purchased a new computer in 12 years and I remember the first one I bought came fully loaded with virtually every program I needed to hit the ground running.
I have Windows 7 on the new laptop. I couldn't bare the thought of tackling Windows 8 so I chickened out. things to look for in the computer, or things that I should download, I'd be ever so grateful. It's nearly midnight here and I'm just going to go to bed without my favorite bedtime movie to lull me to sleep. Cry me a river. I know. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you have to say.

Last week I bought an Acer S3 391 dor my wife, and happiness didn't last long, since it has being BSOD'd since the first day during startup. I suspect either an Intel Driver, or the Diskeeper Expresscache, but I'd like to ask for your opinion on this before I proceed.
