Im running build 7057 on my Asus G50vt-X1 laptop and for some reason when I go to shutdown it will freeze on the shutdown background and not shut down. I'm not quite sure why. I have manually changed the logon and shutdown backgrounds via a regedit but it wouldn't complete the shutdown long before that. Any ideas?

Any ideas??

Is it possible to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, I reckon the answer is no, due to the architecture change ?
Also if I was to change from 32 bit to 64 bit, what - In laymans terms - would I notice different?
All my hardware is fine, and I have 4gb RAM.
1. Is it Possible
2. Whats the Main Difference I will see.
Is this okay? Has anyone done this? I read some problems in general when upgrading one version of Windows 7 to another, but is this common?

If I try and UPGRADE from Windows 7 build 7048 X-64 to Build 7057 X-64 it starts OK but after a while (during the expanding files stage) I get error -- some necessary files for installation cannot be copied ??
Clean install seem to wok.
HA1 and checksums of my iso seem correct.
Actually upgrading from a beta to another beta is not a goood idea anyway but I want to make sure that I haven't got a bad D/L before I try an upgrade from a Vista installation.
when i right click "computer" and then choose "manage" i get the following error:
i went to the specified folder and the file opens OK from there.
also it's associated properly in the default programs control panel.
i must mention the i upgraded to this build from build 7000.
I've upgraded windows 7 from build 7000 to build 7057 (totall reinstall not just upgraded). My pc is connected to the TV (for movies and such), when the computer boots both displays work fine. After logon however I cannot get the second display to work. I can expand them all I want but, it simply won't work.

Stardocks LOGONSTUDIO works on both X-86 and x-64 versions of Windows 7 including build 7057 (which is the one with the hideous Dove on it and the pale blue insipid colour).
Whilst the supplied screens aren't very adventurous you can download others or "Roll your Own".
Maybe we should have a competition here -- It's a bit difficult to post the image as one hasn't logged in yet --so you can't capture the screen.
I might have a go by using a VM and then capturing the Virtual Machine image from the Host OS.
After I upgrade Windows 7 from build 7022 to 7057 my startup now is really slow. I see boost-screen 4 minutes. Restart was 405 sec. I removed unnecessary services, startup programs, defarg my registry, did a clean install, but nothing of that works.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Windows 7 installation freezes every time at the "starting windows" screen right after the little orbs come together to form the windows logo. I have let it sit there for hours and nothing changes. I am doing a fresh installation on a new build.
It seems I have literally tired everything to get this to work (changing bios settings, unplugging unessential usb connections, etc.). When I boot in safe mode the installation gets further along to the "windows is configuring your computer for first time use" but eventually just leads to an error saying that setup cannot finish in safe mode and requires a reboot.
My guess is that maybe this is some sort of driver issue? I have no way of installing any drivers though if I cant even get the OS to install. I am getting extremely frustrated with this and I am amazed that its not working.

for the last week i've had issues with the native backup on Windows 7. IT gets to around 7% and then just freezes.
The action centre flag keeps saying backup in progress, but i've left it all night and come back the next morning and it's still at 7%
I've got a 500gb drive which I use for backups and other stuff and it's got enough capacity. I have deleted the old windows backup folder on it and still no joy.
I look at 'show details' and all I get is yet another bigger progress bar with 'creating a shadow copy' as the only information.
Do I have a corrupt file perhaps?
I did my first build a while ago but kept getting the Blue Screen of Death. I got a tech guy in to look at how I built it, do mem tests and hard drive tests and he said that the motherboard must be faulty. I then sent the motherboard back and they gave me a replacement.I now have put it back together and am STILL getting BSOD's or my screen just freezes. It can run for quite a while without crashing if I am just using facebook or just cruising the web but when I start using skype or play games or have a few different programs open it is more likely to crash. However it does crash even when I am just using Chrome.

I am running low on time, as my one month for newegg returns runs out soon. I lost a week having to RMA the hard disk already, as the first one that came was DOA. I have performed furmark for 20 minutes, no failure. Memtest overnight, no failure. Seagate tools, passed test (didn't do thorough long test). Prime95 CPU small FFT for 8 hours, no problem. Prime95 CPU blend for 3 hours, no problem. I have tried reinstalling windows 7, and I have updated the BIOS.
Everytime I attempt to shutdown Windows 7 freezes at the "Shutting Down" screen with the little moving circle. I looked in Event Viewer and all I'm seeing is a WMI Event ID10 error:
"Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected."
When i click on Shutdown, Windows closes on open programs then shows Shutting Down and that's where it remains even if i leave the Laptop alone for hours, i return and just see "Shutting Down", I can't install updates because it won't shutdown.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm currently stuck in a hell hole, because I really have no idea what is wrong with my machine at this time. Several things I have noticed is that the crashes never happens when I'm playing video games, even high demanding ones. It's weird because it does happen when browsing the internet, and mostly happens when I'm rendering a video.
When the freezing process starts, slowly applications, one by one becomes not responding. I currently have Realtemp, and while the freezing happens, the temp was around 55F, while my TJ max is 105. In my task manager > performance, my cpu usage drops down all the way down to 1% when the freezing happens. And finally even the mouse won't move, forcing me to force shutdown. I think the computer shuts itself down after a while since when coming back home, it's in a POST situations, giving errors like no bootable device, or system fan failure.
I recently acquired a SC101 network hard drive and installed the program for it. Now, my computer keeps stalling at the shutting down screen (after the desk top closes, just the blue screen).
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an ASUS G51JX-X2 laptop with 8 GB RAM (4 2GB chips). I've had this computer for about 18 months without any problems. A couple of days ago, I noticed that the computer hung up when trying to hibernate. The screen was black and the hard drive light was off, but the touchpad, wireless, bluetooth, and power lights remained on. I left it and went to work, and when I returned it was still in this state so I held the power button to shut it down. The computer started normally, but then that night when I went to shut the computer down, it did the same thing. I made some changes to disable the services at start up in an attempt to narrow down the problem and I discover that is I choose restart, the computer shuts down and restarts fine (although it sits with the screen black and the lights on for a while). It will not shut down or hibernate though. what's going on:
I thought I might have gotten a driver update so I looked at Windows Update and I hadn't gotten anything since 7/21. I did get one on 8/3, but that was after I started having problems. Using msconfig I disabled the start up services (except MS) and start up items to see if that helped and rebooted. The reboot worked, but then the shutdown failed again. I read in some forums that it might be related to the wireless, so I used the switch on the front of the computer to turn off wireless and bluetooth before shutting down - no luck. I thought it might be a problem with the memory since that's a relatively recent upgrade so I created a boot CD and ran memtest86+. It ran all night through 4 passes and no errors. I ran chkdsk on the hard drive just to be safe and it didn't find any errors. I checked to see if ClearPageFileAtShutdown was set to 1 in the registry, but it is 0. I checked to make sure that the bios is up to date and it is (version 208).
Sometimes, but not always, when I am restarting or shutting down my computer Windows freezes at the Shutdown screen, the little circle thing just stops spinning and nothing happens. I just built this computer a few days ago, installed every possible update/driver. Not very savvy when it comes to BIOS stuff or whatever the root of this issue is..
I am running the following:
Gigabyte X77 UD3H Motherboard
Intel 3570K
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB Memory
GeForce GTX 660 GPU
Windows 7
Only programs outside of stuff that came with MB, GPU, etc is League of Legends. I noticed Easy Tune 6 was installed with the MB disc, messed around with it a bit but read bad things so deleted it. Thats all i can think of..
I have recently started experiencing abnormally slow shutdowns (it will go to the windows login screen with the shutting down message and hang there for about ~5 minutes), and random freezes on my PC. The freezes happen from things as small as moving the mouse. I run a weekly virus scan, and have come up with no viruses, though it could be something not detected by my antivirus.
The PC is less then 2 years old.

Yesterday when I went to shut down my computer, it froze. Not seeing any alternative, I manually powered it down. When later attempting to turn the machine on, I received an error (with no specific error message) saying that it was unable to startup successfully, and presented me with a menu for running diagnostics, backing up data, resetting to factory defaults, etc.. Being very short on sleep at the time, I decided "I'll deal with this tomorrow" and shut it down.
Just now, when powering up to try to deal with it, it started up fine. Thing is, without having done anything to fix the issue, I'm worried there might still be a problem with my machine, since I've been told failures to boot properly usually indicate something serious. The computer is an HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx running Windows 7 64-bit service pack 1. I ran a virus scan and it came up clean, and a spyware scan is running as I type this.
I just built a new system today, and I have been running into some significant issues whenever I try to reboot. Basically, the system hangs up on the Starting Windows screen at the exact same instance whenever I reboot. This has been happening since I installed Windows 7 64-bit edition. After I booted and installed off of the installation DVD, it froze up on the first restart. I then tried to install Windows again. That worked, but it then again froze on the first reboot. I then had to manually shut down the pc and start it up again. Fortunately, it picked up where I left off and finished the Windows 7 install.After I installed Windows 7, I have had no problems whatsoever expect for when I restart, as the system freezes at the point specified on the image above. However, if I shut down my computer and then start it up, everything loads fine.

AMD Phenom II Black Edition dual core 3.2 ghz CPU (all four cores unlocked, overclocked at 3.8 ghz)

Windows 7 always freezes on restart, but starts up fine after shutdown

My current system was upgraded to windows 7 32bit from vista 32bit (I bought the windows 7 home premium upgrade disc when it was first released). I am going to build a complete new system. Can I install windows 7 64bit from the same windows 7 disc? Or do I have to buy a new windows 7 disc? Is there a way around buying a whole new disc?

I tried installing the 7 beta of intellitype but no difference. Also after restarting Windows 7 it now gets stuck at the boot logo...
seems like i should download and install either 7077 or just go back to 7000..
Are branch builds of RC1 capable of using windows update to bring it up to the later RC builds? or will it be like the beta's and require a fresh install or upgrade?
I ask, because if 7057 is a RC branch build, then it would be convenient if I could just use windows update the rest of the time until the full version is released.
I am currently running OS 7 Beta RC Build 7100. Were do I get this newer version, is there a big difference? And am I able to upgrade to the newer Beta?
I realize that October is fast approaching for the RTM but I plan to keep running the Beta for a couple of months past the Grand Opening.
Is it possible that all the updates that I have received equally add up to the newer build?
I upgraded from 7000 x64 to 7057 x64 and now I can't load unsigned drivers even after changing the option in advanced options with boot into F8. I use a Rosewill RNX-G300E wireless PCI adapter so I can't connect to the internet.
