Computer Crashed And Won't Start?
Feb 17, 2012
as the title says, I was just talking with some friends on skype and then the computer froze like when it's going to give you a BSOD but instead of that it just froze, so I turned it off and now the computer won't even show BIOS menu. RAMs are fine, they were tested by the retailers for 48 hours with memtest and tested by me for 24 hours (when the computer used to work).So to give you a clearly idea of what's happening, I press the power on button, there's a beep and the computer starts, right? my pc powers up but it never beeps, the CD/DVD reader works, the processor starts up, but it's just stuck there. I checked on the motherboard's user guide and it doesn't say anything about "not beeping"

So about 2 hours ago on my PC. I was playing WoW and had a hard crash and lock up. So I restarted my PC. Everything seemed fine. Just a mysterious crash. So I went on to updating my graphics drivers since it had been on my mind to do so. About half way into the update my desktop then crashed again. Only this time it cannot even get windows 7 64 bit to start up.Then I ran the Start up Repair program. I get a message that it cannot repair it automatically.On a history note. This PC has been pretty good to me. A few months back I had a bad run in where my RAM wasnt being read correctly and a simple re-docking fixed that. That was solved on this web forum as well. I don't know if its connected. Just a reference on history.Other then that I'm not exactly sure how to go about on fixing this. I've never had a problem where even Windows wont boot up. *Safe Mode does start up* Just not sure what to do.BSOD data is attached. I tried running perfmon / report in safe mode but I got an error.

playing around with my new computer, i was trying to record a sound playing on Internet with the microphone using the sound recorder. after about 10 seconds, the whole system froze - i couldn't even move the mouse cursor and had to unplug the computer and re-boot. what's the problem and is there an easy fix? below is a screen shot of my system specs, if that's any help.

I just got my first computer in place i installed win 7 on it and everything went smooth, but then i realized i had by misstake installed the 32bit version..so i checked the SSD, which is the only kind of storage drive i have right now, and for some reason the installation had made an partition called system drive or something on 100mb. the stupid thing is that it was nothing on it?? windows was still on C:? anyway , after many minutes of thinking i decided to just reinstall windows over the old one and so i did. it runned smooth and went perfect, i checked the preferences of my computer and as planned i now had the 64 bit version but 30Gb was lost on my SSD? i discovered that the old windows was still there, in the windows.old folder... i didnt think about much so i'd just pressed delete...
the crash: loud noise came from the computer and it shut off, now i cant get it to work!!!!!when i start it all the lights starts and the fans runs but nohting moreand how do i format the ssd so i can use it when i've fixed the computer!specs:Motherboard: MK Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H Socket 1155, Z68 CPU:Core i5 2500K Graphic: GK EVGA GeForce GTX 570 SC RAM:Corsair 8GB (KIT) DDR3 1600MHz/VENG.

Computer threw out a bunch of weird language and then said crash and shut down. Now it doesn't really boot or reboot. I have to pull the battery to get it to restart and I get the HP logo when I put the battery back in and it takes me to a Windows Errory Recovery screen with two options: Launch Repair or Launch normally. Neither one of them does anything. I just get the blue screen.
I've tried the f8 key and the f10 key and can't seem to get to any other screen. I put the restore disk into the CD rom drive and I don't think it's accessing it at all.
It is an HP Pavilion dv7-4087cl with an Intel Core i5-430M processor and its running Windows 7 Home Premium OA 64 bit.

I am no expert when it comes to computers so please bear with me. My Acer Aspire laptop crashed on me. It uses Windows 7. Start up repair does not work. I have a set of Windows 7 disks, 32 bit and 64 bit. Not too sure which one I should have used so I tried both with the same results. I have tried to re-install Windows 7 again as well as repairing the Windows 7 which is already on my computer with the disks with no luck. When re-installing it gets stuck at 'Setup is starting'. It stays like that for hours. When I try the repair option it gets stuck at 'checking for operating system' or something to that effect, also for hours on end

My computer crashed today and I can't get it to boot up. I can hit ESC during startup and get the menu. I ran all the tests and everything passed. I am trying to create a Windows 7 disk so I can boot it from there since my computer won't start up. I'm not sure where I can download this.

I am writing this windows safe mode.Cannot get computer to boot in reg mode. Sat for 40 minutes, with message "please wait while windows configures"Am running windows 7, 64 bit home, Dell Inspiron 570 It started yesterday when it downloaded updates for Windows. After the restart, the computer screen looked strange and could not open any programs. Went to "start" and re-booted, same thing happened again. I again went to start, this time it came up with 2 errors. (wish I had wrote them down) but said something about windows cannot find such and such. (sorry) Anyway, clicked on the "X" and windows came up again, but nothing would open. Had to hard boot as the start button would not even work.Rebooted into safe mode and have tried to return to a previous restore point. Seems I don't have any. So can't do that. I did go go to the recent installed windows updates and deleted them. But will not let me change the settings as in: Don't install updates automatically. I don't know if it is trying to install those over and over again. I tried to get it to come up again with the errors, but no such luck, it just sits with the blue welcome screen, then the "please wait"

My computer crashed and I lost all my Sims data. I tried to reinstall with the original discs but when I got to the 20 digit code on the box, it said it was invalid (probably because it belonged to me). I had installed Sims 3, Expansion packs World Adventures, and Ambitions. I recently bought Late Night, but my computer crashed before I downloaded it. How can I reinstall these? Will any of the work I did on each one be restored, or will I need to start in the beginning of each one?

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.

When I installed Windows Live Essentials 2011 on my new Compaq Presario CQ5621F with Windows 7, it seemed to load fine. I tried to access the internet and got no connection. When I rebooted my computer it suggested that I restore to an earlier time. Upon doing so it works fine again.

I left my laptop running for a while when i left the room. When I came back it had frozen, I hadn't been doing anything untoward, I had been running a few programs at once, just like firefox and word. Anyway I had to turn it off with the power button. Then when I tried turning it back on I was able to log in but there was no desktop, just a black screen, same thing when I used safe mode. Now whenever I turn it on it goes to a disc check and when it gets to a certain number it says its unreadable and safe search just plain doesn't work. I'm gonna lose all my files. So is there anyway I could do a restore to factory settings (restoring to another time also didn't work)

I recently bought a new power supply, along with more ram because I was already ordering the power supply. When the package came and I set everything up in the computer, the PC turned on and everything was fine. I started to play a game with my friend and the computer just turned off. No error message, nothing. I believe the computer overheated, but I could be completely wrong. Now, when I start my computer up, it gets to the Launch System Repair (Recommended) or Start Windows Normally. If I select one of them, it will get into the 'Starting Windows' screen with the orbs, and then the monitor will just go blank. The computer still runs in the background, but my monitor just is blank. It is not the RAM (I switched and went to my old RAM) And I also cannot boot into safe mode, or anything of the sort, as the same thing happens. And I cannot boot from a CD (Tried with a windows 7 repair disc and computer goes blank again)

Something really strange happened one day when I ran one of my games. Well, The game crashed several time and when I went to open it in again, my documents wouldn't open! I went to "my computer" clicked it and still nothing happened. Whenever I click "my documents" the document screen just goes off to the side of my screen and nothing happens, same problem when I try to open "my computer". I have run scans with Norton and Malware Bytes but it cannot find any virus, my computer seems clean at the moment.

I had a bit of bad luck today and my laptop fell on the ground and cracked the case. I checked to make sure everything was functioning and running alright and everything seemed fine, so i proceeded to run solidworks and work on a project and again everything was working fine for about 40 minutes than blue screen popped up and computer tried to restart. When it started backup a screen popped up saying to run startup repair. Ran the repair and when a command window popped up i get a white screen saying error in big red font. So i restarted again and tried to start windows normally it began starting up but switched to start up repair automatically and same thing while start up repair was beggining.to stop happening preferably without re formatting and losing files as i have some really large solidworks files that i need for a project and dont have time to re draw

I can run World of Warcraft and Battlefield 3 at max settings and NOTHING happens. Runs like a dream. However if I play any over games such as Skyrim or the Witcher 2 my computer will completely crash to a black screen and then a weird buzzing noise which lasts 1-2 seconds. It will then require a hard reset.
This crash only happens when I play video games and it seems adjusting the settings doesn't seem to change anything. High or low settings it will still crash. I have ruled out Temperature I think. At it's hottest my GPU will be at about 55C.
My Specs- Operating System:
Windows 2.6.1.7601 (Service Pack 1)
CPU Type:
Intel� Core™ i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz
CPU Speed:
3.2 GHz
System Memory:

A few months back, I reinstalled windows after updating my bios.I screwed things up pretty badly because instead of just setting the Bios options to recognize my RAID array and though there was some bigger issue at play an ended up reinstalling windows before I figured it out. Anyway, everything worked fine for a few months, but then this not genuine box started appearing and disappearing in the bottom corner. It does go away, and I am able to install updates, so I think it's just an error with my bios as I saw in another thread, but I want to make sure before I touch anything. I ran the diagnostic report a few minutes back when the logo was down there (although it's since gone away again). [code]

When i got home today didn't my computer work, my girlfriend has been the last one using it. So don't know how things were just before the shutdown or anything.when i turn on the computer i get to the screen where "touch bios" is and where i can see the options like Bios settings, boot menu, xpress recovery.but i cant press anything, and after about two seconds on that screen the PC shuts down again.The keyword lights up so there is a responds on it, but just doesn't work to press anything before it shuts down.I've got BSOD upto several times a day for a few months time.believe that my computer is affected by some virus or something is delaying my computer. might be an combination of several things.I got no external things hugged up to the stationeer computer right now.it is a windows 7 x64 machine.
usually when i get issues i can access advanced boot up or bios, but can neither in this case..I wonder if it might be a hardware issue.

My windows 7 computer has crashed while using Windows Explorer - or most any file searches since I bought it in late 2009. It has all the upgrades and modifications from Microsoft and Dell, and continues to crash.If I open Windows Explorer, a Browser or any other program with a "File/open" capability, merely while scrolling down the directory listing, it will crash and worse, it will often take all the other opened programs on my screen with it.I have learned that re-trying two or three times somehow solves the program and I can get to what I'm looking for. Also, I have an old graphics program (Paint Shop Pro 5.1) which seems immune to this program. I'm running it under full compatibility mode, and I don't have this problem with it.I have contacted Microsoft so many times - to no avail - that I finally dumped the computer and bought an Apple. But we all know that Apple has it's own problems, so I jump over to the Win 7 machine occasionally. So I have the two computer sitting here side-by-side. Like any strangers, they don't speak to each other, and I'm the third party who needs the friendship of both, individually. I have pretty much decided, however, this Windows 7 model will be my last PC unless someone totally brilliant comes up with a "why this is happening" saving grace.

Sometimes when I click start and sleep on my computer (windows 7) the monitor will go to sleep but the computer is still running. I cannot wake my monitor up so there is nothing I can do to wake it up besides manually turning it off using the button on the computer case.

I'm having some trouble starting my computer (posting from somewhere else). When I try to start it, it takes a long time then goes to a screen asking me to start the startup repair. When I do, it just seems to be frozen on some of the screens for a very long time and has never moved past it.

i hope i'm placing this in the right section, if not, then could someone tell me where to put it and i'll post it again.i've got a samsung rv510 laptop with windows 7 hp 64 bit.about 2 weeks ago, i was watching a Internet video, had spotify and facebook open too, and my computer suddenly went all bsod on me.i turned it off and on again. it came up with a message like 'a problem has occurred whilst loading up your computer, what would you like to do?' i chose 'launch startup repair', which takes a couple seconds, then i choose the other option of 'start windows normally'. i could get onto safe mode. sometimes it would say 'operating system not found.'the computer will then load normally and i can be on it fine.however, i then started to get norton confidential and shockwave flash crashes in google chrome. i disabled norton confidential and thus didn't get that error anymore. shockwave flash however did still occur as disabling it means i can't watch Internet videos and do some other stuff. sometimes my screen would go blank, and it looks like chrome refreshed itself due to some problem.i then used norton power eraser (i have norton internet security 2011 otherwise, and i did many live updates and scans to see if there was anything there, but nothing) to see if there were any problems. it came up with one file that was a possible threat which was msvcrt.dll so i did as it recommended and deleted it. i restarted the computer and now i can't it won't go past the windows logo without freezing.i had some start-up error in the past (a few months ago) and i was sent two cds to correct the problem and they worked. one cd was labelled 'windows 7 hp 64bit' and the other was 'samsung rv510 driver disc'. i got this laptop, via the disability students allowance, from a company. i haven't contacted the company yet about this problem, but i will be doing so very shortly, because if all else fails, i'm just going to try and get this laptop replaced as i'm not 100% happy with it.i have put in both cds in, the driver one doesn't do anything, but the windows 7 hp 64bit one does. it asks me if i want to continue with the thingy, so i press a button to continue. it tries to fix the start-up, but fails. it says that 'a recent hardware or software change might be the cause'. then tells me to insert the installation disc and do some other things, but i don't have that disc. the company could give that to me.

I have Windows 7 64 bit on my desktop and an OCZ Vertex SSD Boot Drive (C:) my computer has a second hard drive (1tb Samsung Spinpoint F3) for other files. My HDD has two partitions and one of them had Ubuntu on it. I decided to format that partition the other day so I could have access to it (I needed the space). Turns out I formatted the grub launcher from there and now have no way to boot my windows installation. I've tried Startup Repair.

So last night I came back from going out. My computer was making an annoying noise, really hard to explain almost like a sound when your hard drive is overworking or really old.... My computer isn't even a half year old. I was to tired to try anything so i just hit the turn off buttonI had to go to work early this morning so I just got home. I tried turnning it on this afternoon, it didn't normally. Gave me an option to start normally or safe mode. I tried to start normally. Windows started and then just froze. Keep in mind the Hard drive or w/e is making this noise still while trying to start windows. So since that didn't work I tried to start in safe mode. This didnt' work either and gave me the message about my SATAo drive or something not working properly

My problem is the system goes through regular BIOS Startup, and shows everything as working, then when it gets to the windows startup screen (where the 4 colored dots turn into the windows symbol), it does one of two things:
1. it just keeps waving there (you know how the colors kind of come out and in etc.)
2. it goes to a black screen, and none of my inputs work (ie. no keyboard mouse, ctrl+alt+del, anything)
The only way to get out of these two situations is to reset directly on the case.
Sometimes it will not go to the startup screen, and will give me the option of "launch startup repair" or "start windows normally". If I choose start windows normally, it goes to one of the top two problems, if i choose startup repair, it begins loading windows files, then the bar stops halfway (and doesnt move for over 8 hours).
The last thing i tried was starting from my windows 7 dvd, and that also begins loading files, then stops halfway.

i downloaded Comodo CIS yesterday (after uninstalling Avira) with no problems, but this morning my Acer One d270 was unable to start giving a black screen, and i clicked enter on the option to use ''Start up repair'', which only seemed to show the following 'Unspecified change to system configuration may have caused the problem error code = ox490' I managed to start in normal mode in the end and everything seem to be working ok as far as speed etc gos. I installed the VMware - Toolwiz Timefreeze, a couple of days ago. Before that i installed Sandboxie, but then uninstalled after it caused BSOD which according to the dump file was caused by the Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7(R) file - igdkmd32.sys.I noticed that for sometime before the latest downloads that when running windows ''fix problems'', that it says i have too many programs running on start up ,so today i disabled, adobe reader + acrobat, google update , and toolwiz so they are not running on start up. I also have Rapport installed and running but its not showing in msconfig start up list so not sure about it. I'm assuming Word,excel,ccleaner,glary utilities, are not running on start up but dont know how to check!

With Sandy visit in my area, I've lost power couple of times with the computer being on. It had no issues starting it up, other than Windows complaining about not being shut down gracefully. While I have had power for the last 4-5 days, yesterday the utility power went out with a big boom. I have the generator running and now the computer does not start at all. The LED light is on for the motherboard, indicating that the power is on for the board. Pushing the power on button results in nothing, the system does not start up.
