My computer has been acting up in increasingly odd ways for no apparent reason. Firstly my computer will, seemingly at random freeze up, my monitor will go blank, and it will pop back up, occasionally with an error shown below.It has also caused my flash player to randomly crash as well. I've done plenty of virus checks, but every time it comes up clean and nothing changes. I'm not sure what to do.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Asus G73JH laptop [Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit] is about 2.5 years old and the other day it began suddenly freezing and rebooting. What I mean by that is the following: A) When it freezes, there is no warning, no gradual slow down, no anything. The mouse instantly refuses to respond, the computer makes no "thinking" internal noises, nothing. I'm forced to hard reboot. When it reboots itself, it is also instantly. There is no gradual closing of programs, it's just SHABANG. This became an issue suddenly. One day it was fine, the next it was doing this unpredictably.So I decided to go ahead and reformat the thing and re-installed everything via the Asus-provided "AI Recovery Burner" program.Annnd it's still having the same problems. Not only did I experience several errors when trying to do the million and one Windows updates, but it's still freezing and rebooting. Even in safe mode, it freezes. The timing of these things is unpredictable, it could happen 2 minutes after boot-up or, the computer could run fine for hours. So far, the freezing is much more common than the rebooting. Assuming the issue was hardware related, I ran Memtest86 last night for 7 iterations and it turned up zero errors.

I upgraded to a OCZ Vertex 3 120GB boot drive about a month ago and I can't say I've had many problems until about a week ago when it happened for the first time. I was using word and had multiple windows open(half a dozen) when it started to show signs of slow down. What was weird was that it happened slowly, feature by feature, first the windows were frozen and could not be manipulated in any way then slowly more and more things were unusable until everything completely froze.
I couldn't even Ctrl + Alt + delete to the task manager, it was just unresponsive. I waited for probably a good 10 minutes just to see if anything would respond and finally restarted my PC. The drive was not recognized the first time and just booted to my original mechanical boot drive that I now have set as the second boot drive. I restarted again and it recognized the SSD, and booted back normally. This has now happened a second time, about 30 minutes ago.
As of maybe a month or two ago my computer has been acting rather strange. The first thing I noticed is that now whenever I need to restart my computer (for updates, ect.) the screen will flash for a few seconds, return to normal, flash for another second or two, and then properly restart. Then a few weeks after that, I noticed my computer having trouble when I play games on my comp (I built my comp originally as a gaming rig).
After exiting games like Minecraft, Red Orchestra 2, Total War, or any of the other games I play, my computer will act sluggish for a few minutes after they close. It generally takes a minute or two until my comp seems to be back up to speed. Another thing is that my computer seems to have a difficult time closing my games, especially Red Orchestra 2. When I exit RO2 my comp will sit there at the game screen as if its frozen (I can't move my mouse or anything) and then finally exit the game.
Then, after exiting the game my comp screen will be all distorted and it will take another 10 seconds or so for the screen to return to normal. RO2 is definitely the worst when it comes to closing, all of the other games for the most part close fine, but my comp will still perform slowly after I exit any game. Normally, after I exited a game I could jump right in to my browser, start menu, or any other app if I wanted to.
So I was on the internet when my computer close out of everything, and just shuts down. I my head I was saying, oh is it rebooting, android sdk unpacked fast(its a program that lets me play games and apps on windows). So as the computer restarted it went to a black screen with a blinking course And after 10-15seconds it restarts, just to starts the whole process over again. So I used my phone to get on the internet to check how to fix it, saying "oh man what is wrong, a virus maybe?" I seen some threads on different site with answers saying to to reboot in safemode using f8 and ... so and so. So I did it. nothing happened. So i held it, nothing. ( it just doesn't work) so now im stuck. With a rebooting computer. what to do now? I also heard a bout a error r something. It just reboots it there is a error, I don't know.

It turns on, the IBM thing comes on, it's a blank screen with a __ at the top right that's blinking. Then it restarts, and the process starts all over again. I have forced shut down my laptop a lot of times, bit this the first time this ever happened.

When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.
I have a dell optiplex 360 that is running windows 7. I added a video card geforce 7950 gt, at the time when I added this the computer was running fine for months. Then I upgraded the power supply to a raidmax rx730ss because the video card needed the 6 pin power supply that the old psu didn't have. After I installed the new PSU the computer would start running the post (dell logo screen) finish the load bar, go to a black screen then reboot and start running post again. the computer does this indefinitely as far as I can tell.I installed the old power supply and it did the exact same thing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and now I think I have some sort of virus. Within minutes of logging onto my computer, a message keeps popping up that there is a critical error and that the computer will restart within one minute. I have tried to do anything I possibly can to get rid of this issue! It does the same thing while booting up in safemode as well. I also tried to restore my computer to a previous date before this occurred, and it still keeps happening. I figured i'd try to restore it to factory settings also, but it does not give me the option while booting up (f11), or on my control panel. I also tried using the TDSSkiller but my computer reboots before the scanning/fixing finishes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo on Friday installed a new video card (7850) and this morning I had opened up the case as I have been experiencing some freezing with the new card (reason why I replaced the old card) however I have never had sound issues.I did the following prior to leaving today:Rebooted system a few times, had removed video card a few times, inserted monitor cable into the motherboard, booted that up, disabled the vga adapter, then rebooted and turned it on again (figured it might help with the freezing) I also pressed the reset button that is ON this motherboard (Asus P8z68-V Pro)So in any event long story short, When I came home today i didnt hear sound. I have tried just about everything, the Windows 7 seems to reflect sound is "fine" all the drivers are fine, I see the volume going up, I know the right speaker is "default" nothing is muted. I remove the speakers plug them into the other computer and they work fine. Also the head phones don't work in any slot either (i have several jacks on the computer for headphones)I am thinking during the reboot I have fried something on the MB preventing me from using the analog cables for sound. Should I try the HDMI on the video card to avoid having to replace the MB if this was the case? Windows 7 does not tell me anything is wrong with any hardware.I even updated the drivers for sound etc but remember this is a sudden issue, thats why I dont think its a "setting" problem.

So i come to you guys as a last result after spending large amounts of time and money trying to, troubleshoot my own issue. Before i dive into details, im 95% sure that my issue is caused by overheating, i just dont know what and why.As of roughly 3-4 months ago i began having issues with my computer randomly shutting off while playing high intensity games (BF3 on medium which caused my HD5670/CPU to run at ~90-100% capacity). It wouldnt blue screen it would just turn off. Upon shutting down it wouldnt boot for between 15 minutes to even 4-5 hours (where i would pull the whole thing apart in exasperation and upon putting it back together it would boot). So over the next few months i did the following in an attempt to fix/stop the issue (dot pointed so you guys dont TLR)
I've been having BSOD lately after mouse clicks and so I did a "sfc /scannow" and got corrupt file report that windows can't fix (Im using Windows 7 64-bit).I'm just wondering because I looked at "cbs.log" and the files that "sfc" reports as being corrupt (or don't match hash) are files like xxxlan.dll xxxamd.dll and similar. Aren't those drivers like my LAN and maybe my video card that sfc is reporting as corrupts?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi've done a fair amount of reading and searching on cpu usage in windows 7 (both beta & rc 1) and haven't had any luck with this issue yet.
the issue i'm having is my cpu usage spikes up to 80-100% very often and performance of any other task during this period is frustratingly laggy. these spikes happen from even the simplest action ranging from opening the start menu, to scrolling through text on a webpage and worst of all playing video (Internet is my benchmark tool, 80% usage guaranteed during video play).
using any web browser with 3+ tabs open is guaranteed to spike cpu usage over 50%. multitasking in general begets a sluggish os performance.
some of the solutions i've read and tried:
installing nvidia's windows 7 video drivers, no improvement.
disabling the hd audio in device manager seems to help a lot of people, i don't have this in my device manager.
sound drivers/devices also seem to be a leading source of cpu over-usage in a lot of cases. i've tried disabling/removing my sound card, drivers, and audio services to no avail. i initially had a sound card and on-board sound (ac97) running and disabling one of the two had a minor improvement in performance but nothing spectacular.
even with both disabled the cpu usage still spikes to 90-100% during video play, not to mention the video stutters and stops often.
i also had on-board lan in addition to a wireless card installed so i've switched between the two, disabling one or the other with no marked improvement.
setting the page file to manual control with a 4+ gb size setting, no difference.
disabling aero, using a windows 7 classic theme, no dice.
i like to think that my hardware is strong enough to handle video streaming/playing without maxing out the cpu but if you think i'm mistaken then feel free to let me know. my windows 7 performance score was somewhere around 3.4. i've also watched the process explorer extensively and i can't find any service that sticks out terribly.
any ideas? any diagnostic tools you guys would recommend?
Every time I click a link or whatever on a page, I hear a strange 'beep' sound inside my computer. Sometimes when I'm clicking into a webpage that has to load a lot of scripts or images, I hear multiple beeping until the page is loaded.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an old Toshiba Satellite L355-S7905 that was handed down to me back in 2009It gave me some problems beforehand (needed a new OS twice since I got it) but over the past year it's been fine. Suddenly, out of the blue, the OS crashed on me a few days ago.The crash was pretty bad and the OS wouldn't boot anymore. So, I did what any logical person would do; I reformatted my HDD (to ensure no viruses or spyware remained) and attempted to reinstall Win7 Ultimate. After the install, I manually updated all my drivers, and went underway resituating my programs. All was well with the universe, and then it happened.My system froze. One reboot later and it started freezing any time I tried to launch Firefox. Shortly after that, it started freezing whenever I tried launching any program at all. It even froze when I launched the Command Prompt. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to solve the problem of the CPU spiking then the system locking up. I've tried virus scans, registry cleaner, disk defragenation, and disk clean up
